Pre-registered Courses

The starting dates for our Winter 2022 Pre-registered Courses are now postponed. We will update information about start dates when we know that we can re-open for in-person sessions.

If you are interested in being notified directly about the start of a particular Course, please email Heather at hello@gentlydownthestream.org. In the meantime, please join us for weekly Classes online.

Courses are a pre-registered set of classes, offered as a unit of study over a period of days, weeks or months. This provides the opportunity to practice consistently with a group of peers, while deepening your knowledge of the practices of yoga + meditation.

Pre-registration is required. Courses are not open to drop-in students. Please contact the studio if you would like to join a course that is already in progress (the fees can be pro-rated). If you are new to the studio, please complete our Waiver before attending your first class.

We are required to follow the Ontario government mandate, which calls for proof of COVID-19 vaccination in select settings beginning September 22. You can email us at hello@gentlydownthestream.org and attach a copy of your proof of vaccination or you can show a digital or paper copy when you come to class. Individuals who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical exemptions will be permitted entry with a doctor’s note until recognized medical exemptions can be integrated as part of a digital vaccine certificate.

Masks must be worn as you enter, leave or move around the studio space. They can be removed while on your mat for practice.

As with previous phases of the pandemic, the majority of our classes and special events are also available live online through zoom. So if you are unable to attend in person, please join us online. Please let us know if you need to switch your passes to attend online, or to extend expiry dates on your class passes or to suspend your monthly membership.

“I see a real yogi as a someone who is committed to growth and to being the best version of themselves, and, at the same time, is courageous enough to be fully present and authentic in each moment. Someone who is not afraid to get real about the whole mess of who they are – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
