Shangri-La Hotel Toronto Classes – Yelp Review

I've been to other yoga classes, and I have to say, as a beginner, Alana's classes are the most welcoming and comforting I've experienced. It's hard not to be intimidated as you try to relax while twisting your body into unknown positions, but Alana's class made me feel so at ease. Her guidance and encouragement through the moves with each an every participant made me feel as though I belonged, even with those more advanced. The Shangri-La's studio and health club are beautiful, perfect for relaxation before, during, and after the class. I had the best sleep of my life that night because I was so relaxed, and when I woke up I felt so rejuvenated. Vineyard classes in Niagara are also remarkable, a beautiful view and great experience with a variety of people. I highly recommend any of Hotel Yoga's classes if you are looking to calm your mind, body and spirit.

Alana & Hotel Yoga are amazing! She is a beautiful, wonderful, and intelligent teacher who always gives you a great (and fun) workout. I always feel amazing after one of her classes. Much love to Alana! More Yelp Reviews.

Vineyard Yoga – Yelp Review

We did the Vineyard yoga class at Jackson Triggs for my dad's 65th birthday - he's big on yoga. From my initial contact with Alana, to the actual event, I was very impressed by the thoughtful, personalized, and positive experience. Alana went out of her way to make this a special day for my dad, which was our main objective of course. What I didn't expect was to enjoy the yoga class itself so much! I'm not a fan of yoga and only did this for my dad, but I thoroughly enjoyed Alana's class - she made it fun and inclusive for all skill levels. Lastly, the price is really great too. For $45 you get a 1 1/2 hour yoga class in the amphitheater onlooking the vineyard plus a small buffet with abundant wine pairing (one red and one white wine). You have the option of purchasing a freshly grilled burger and fries, but I would recommend against that - not so great and overpriced. After lunch, they take you on a tour of the vineyard and winery. All in all a great deal! More Yelp Reviews

Vineyard Yoga – Yelp Review

I did one of Hotel Yoga's Yoga in the Vineyard classes last summer and let me just say, was it ever fun! Alana, owner of Hotel Yoga, is an amazing instructor. She makes the classes, engaging, fun, and whoa... what a workout (we were ALL super sore the next day)!! The setting of the class in Niagara on the Lake was amazing - overlooking a beautiful and picturesque vineyard... An amazing class all around and a great deal - at $40 for a small group yoga session, delicious lunch, and vineyard tour, you can't go wrong! I would highly reco this service if you are looking for a soulful and relaxing (and fun!) day trip... just get an amazing group of people together, or join in for the fun. A totally perfect day :) See more Yelp Reviews.

In-office massage therapy- Stantec Architecture, Toronto – B Jefferson

The in-office massage was SOOOOO relaxing! The room was set up just like going into a spa. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much that I was almost falling asleep.”

In-office massage therapy - Stantec Architecture, Toronto – C Smith-Calway

The in-office massages were fabulous. The Registered Massage Therapist was able to use techniques that more inexperienced therapists won’t and had a great understanding of the mechanics of the body and relayed information as to helpful tips. The hot water/lemon/ginger was a nice ending. I will definitely book again, whether it’s every two weeks or once a month but the convenience was amazing.”

Westin Harbor Castle Classes – Ashley J, Starwood Employee

First off, thank you for creating such an amazing experience. As you know, I started the class as very beginner but even within a few weeks I could see and feel my improvement. You are such a great instructor and soooo motivating! Even the times I have wanted to give up, you don't let me. I love how great I feel all day after attending the morning class. I also really admire the way you really connect with everyone in the class, regardless of if they have been before. You always make everyone feel comfortable and at ease! :) It is nice that the classes can be suited for both beginners and those who have practiced for a long time. You are always able to work with everyone's level and experience. Probably not an easy thing to do, but you do it. Please never stop!! You are fantastic!

I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your yoga classes this past Tues & Wed @ the Westin. How convenient for me as a hotel guest it was to attend. The varied class times made it easy to fit into my schedule. Your instruction style was helpful & friendly. I definitely learned how to improve my yoga technique. The outdoor tennis court Wed am was an awesome setting! You were very generous with your time & expertise in showing me postures & sequences to practice when recovering from my upcom

Jeff K. – Banks CME Group, Chicago

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated the morning yoga the other day. I thought your session was terrific. You were engaging and the session was just the right level of difficulty, not too easy and not too hard. I was pretty surprised to see your banner when I was working out on Wednesday. I thought “this is perfect! Morning yoga”. I'm a pretty regular traveler (and Starwood member) and this is the first time I've seen a service like this. It really makes the difference on choosing where to stay. I'll definitely return to the Westin next time I'm in Toronto. Thanks again.

Karen S. – Starbucks Executive, Seattle

I wanted to write you a short note and tell you how much I enjoyed the yoga class I took with you while in Toronto in August of this year. As a frequent business traveler and enthusiastic yogi, I always look for yoga in the cities I travel to. It was SO nice while staying at the Westin Harbour Castle to have access to quality yoga, free of charge, onsite at the hotel. The only regret I have is that I was only able to take one class. Hopefully Westin (and maybe Starwood Hotels) will continue to expand the onsite yoga program to other properties. I will definitely look for your classes again the next time I am traveling in Toronto. ing foot surgery. It was great to meet you & I appreciate you being @ the Westin.

Gemma D. – Westin Employee

When I was told the Westin was going to start offering yoga classes, I was very excited. Having lived in the neighborhood for a few years and being a huge fan of yoga and its health and wellness benefits long before becoming an associate at the Westin, I knew that there weren't very many places for one to practice yoga. My own experiences had me taking the subway or having to walk a good 20 minutes to a studio with teachers of Alana's caliber. In the few months I've known Alana and had the chance to take part in her classes I have only positive things to say about her teaching style, the way she engages our hotel guests, and the ability she has to modify each class in a way that is easy enough for complete beginners, yet challenging enough to give you a good workout. I'm excited about the different ways this program can grow and the potential innovative ways we can provide guests with a totally renewing workout

The yoga classes have served as great resources for building client relationships. I have brought key NHL and business contacts to the classes. All of these clients really enjoy and appreciate the service. In turn, we have secured a contract with The Leafs Alumni Association. The classes are an invaluable tool to grow our sports contracts and relationships. Alana is the ultimate professional and I have full confidence when I introduce her to our most important clients.
