The Yoga Loft was the first yoga studio to open in the heart of Old Strathcona. Founder, Rameen Peyrow, opened his doors in 2002 at the age of 23. After several trips to mysore India he was one of the world's youngest teachers to be blessed by his teacher, Pattabhi Jois, to teach the Ashtanga method. Starting as a strictly traditional ashtanga yoga studio, we have evolved and grown to include Sattva Yoga (diverse hatha sequences) to aid in the opening and developing the body, breath and the mind. At The Yoga Loft, we teach specific breathing techniques or pranayama to tone and strengthen the relationship to the intelligence of the breath. We also include Meditation classes with it's undeniable life changing benefits of stilling the active thought processes of our minds.
The yoga loft has been inspired by Rameen's commitment and love for yoga & meditation. Known for his generosity in sharing the wisdom of his teachings, he has a heart-filled approach to his yoga teachings and has dedicated his life to the path of yoga. In addition to directing The Yoga Loft & The Sattva School of Yoga, Rameen travels to inspire teachers & practitioners, teaching on-going workshops and teacher trainnings across Canada.
