Best Summer Deal for Yoga: Roots in Rosedale, Toronto
With my constantly changing routines and busy travel schedule, I usually find it hard to commit to extra-curricula classes. Also, I am not a "gym person". But, this past week, a neighborhood offering met my needs and interests admirably. Roots’ flagship store in Rosedale has free one-class passes for their yoga studio. Stimulated by the first class, I decided to take advantage of a "summer special"—unlimited classes for a week for $20. Though classes are reduced in number for the season, there were enough to meet my needs, and four out of five were enjoyable—especially the pilates. The studio is low-key, no mirrors or fancy accessories, and appears to have a regular clientele (all female). Positioned at the back of the building (away from Yonge Street) the view of tree-tops through the window is well-planned and soothing. And, eventually, you stop noticing the rattles of the subway line down below. Definitely a positive experience!
