Open Door Yoga

Open Door Yoga was started in Jan. 1999 as a drop-in yoga class. In Sept. of 1999, the school changed to offering a variety of passes to accommodate the growing student population. Classes were hatha style classes, linking asanas in a flow-like sequence with emphasis on breathing and alignment.

It continues to offer mostly hatha and power classes instead of classifying them into other classifications to provide more options for the students (and to make it easier for classes to be filled when teachers are away). Teachers at the centre are encouraged to incorporate elements of their learnings, in their uniquely individual classes. In this way, students would be exposed to a variety of teachings without having to visit many different schools.

Although a new schedule changes every 3 months (Jan, Apr, July, Oct), we change mostly to accommodate teachers who go away, attend trainings etc.. believing that students and teachers thrive with consistency. We believe that when a new teacher joins the ‘Open Door family’, they are treated and expected to treat others the same way they would like to be treated.

Currently, Open Door Yoga has expanded to include a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, 4 yoga studio locations, and see future expansion of Open Door through either franchising/mentoring ‘new studio owners’.
