In Person Yoga Classes at Love My Mat

We are so excited to announce that our beautiful, sunny store front is now home to intimate, in-person yoga & meditation classes.

Yoga In Hamilton

We love supporting the Hamilton yoga community and are pleased to be offering live yoga classes in our shop. We are starting with a couple 4 class series starting at the beginning of every month in 2023.

Welcome to our Yoga Space

You can find us at 809 King St. East in Hamilton, ON. There is free street parking in front of our shop and on all the side streets.

Our open studio space can comfortably accommodate 8 students with enough space to move around as needed. You'll be greeted by a certified yoga teacher and invited to get comfortable on your mat.

You'll be giving all the Yoga Props you could possibly need because we want you to feel as good in each yoga pose as possible. You'll be able to use our;

• Yoga Bolsters
• Yoga Blocks
• Flax & Lavender Eye Pillows
• Yoga Straps
• Knee Pillows

We suggest you wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat and water bottle. You're also welcome to bring you own yoga props if you prefer.

What to Expect in our Yoga Classes

All of our yoga teachers are certified and have a minimum of 5 years of experience teaching. We are all passionate about yoga props and design our yoga & movement classes about making you feel good with as much support as possible.

You can expect some standing postures, as well as seated postures. Our yoga classes might include kneeling postures or sequences, so we'll have Knee Pillows available for you to use. 

All in-person classes will include an extended Savasana (at least 5 minutes) because we know and understand the important of true rest. Classes also may include guided or silent meditation to help calm the mind, as well as the body.
