Kirtan has become incredibly popular in the last few decades and it's no surprise. It's a very simple and enjoyable form of meditation that brings peace and upliftment to all those involved. It consists of hearing and chanting transcendental or spiritual sounds accompanied by music. We practice Kirtan at many of our free classes and gatherings. Learn more about Kirtan.

Learn three enlivening meditation techniques, including a personal practice technique that you can take with you wherever you go at one of our introductory meditation classes.

We have regular events throughout the year at our different locations. Public lectures, holiday feasts, free yoga meditation days in the summer; there is always something exciting happening. Join us for relaxation, meditation and fun at one of our Special Events.

With the stresses of modern day living more and more people are turning to meditation as a way to find inner peace.

Through meditation gradually the layers of illusion are peeled away and we begin to realize our true eternal spiritual nature. With this comes great happiness and fulfillment. The timeless art of meditation has been practiced by yoga masters since time immemorial to bring about the joyful state of self-realization. In this consciousness a person is free from temporary worries and anxieties.

This simple and enjoyable meditation consists of focusing our minds on ancient transcendental sounds known as mantras which are all pure and all purifying. There are three ways to practice mantra meditation - deep breathing, with beads, and kirtan.

By spending a little time each day meditating a whole new world opens up to us. Gradually we feel more satisfied – not always looking outward for happiness but discovering happiness within. By starting your day with just 15 minutes of meditation your day will be more peaceful and flow more smoothly.

Anyone can practice this meditation – young, old, student, businessman, mother, anyone. It can be done alone or with a group of friends. Come to one of our free classes or meditation evenings and experience for yourself.

“Shambhala” is the name of a mythical kingdom in Central Asia where the people enjoyed harmony, good health, and well-being.

Like many of us, Charlotte first discovered Shambhala after being handed a Pema Chodron text. She then received her original instruction and classwork at centres in her home state of Wisconsin, where she taught cooking and gardening to kids and worked for better food in schools and hospitals.

She joined the Toronto Shambhala sangha when she moved to Toronto in 2021 to study Naturopathic Medicine.

When you study religion, philosophy, ideology, academic, or science, you know about it and it becomes yours. The way to go and

4worldlovers: There’s an overwhelming amount of research that has shown how meditation can positively impact both our physical and mental health. And while the research is still growing, it’s already been proven to help reduce stress, increase focus, allow for better sleep and overall better mood. You are more aware of the present moment which allows your conversations, friendships and relationships to go a little deeper. You begin to notice the wonderful coincidences that happen in everyday lyfe and you begin to tap into your life’s purpose.

But this doesn’t happen overnight. It is a practice, one that we must continue to show up for. Think of it like a workout for your brain. It’s like exercise, but less sweaty. And let’s be clear; meditation isn’t meant to get rid of your thoughts. Rather, it allows us to be aware of our thoughts; to notice what emerges; and to watch the thoughts as they float on by.

We are here to help you peacefully coexist with these thoughts so you can let go of the resistance, and flow with lyfe.

“I had a wonderful experience there especially with the 2 classes - Sound and Compassion. The space is very serene and the people there are very welcoming. I would highly recommend this place for meditation and pause from the city stresses.”

“I attended the full moon meditation at Lyfe recently and was very impressed with the event. The studio was lit with candles to set the mood the instructor led us into an incredible meditation and explained the importance that the moon plays in our lives. This was one of the most powerful meditations I've done and even days later, I can feel just how much I was able to release and let go.”

“We tried a sound meditation class here and it was truly wonderful. Beautiful studio, great props and excellent instruction. They had some goodies and juice from the cafe downstairs on offer and those were a great little treat as well. Very interested in trying more of the types of meditations they offer!”

Fantastic instructors who offer a perfect balance of movement and meditation

I've been going to Good Space for just over a year now and I love it so much!! The studio fosters an incredibly welcoming and friendly environment, and the instructors are all fantastic. Tori's classes always leave me feeling warm and more whole. Each session is a perfect balance of intuitive, rigorous movement and restorative meditation. Renelyn's classes are as fun as they are challenging. I love the music she expertly pairs with each movement. Danea’s classes are comprised of poses that encourage strength and balance between the physical and emotional body. Definitely recommend this studio to yoga and pilates practitioners of all levels!!

My favourite yoga and Pilates studio in the city, no competition. The kindest people who offer up a compassionate space to reconnect with yourself and community. The studio managers are phenomenal and so are all the staff + teachers I’ve encountered. So glad I tried it out and now a loyal studio member 🩷

One of my fav studios in the city! So welcoming, creative flows/vinyasas and a beautiful room.

Good Space is an amazing yoga/pilates studio with incredible and very creative teachers. The space is calming, gorgeous and clean. Staff are responsive if you have any questions about anything. Would definitely recommend attending classes here!

Good space was my saving Grace. I moved to Toronto, not knowing many people and looking to join a community. I work from home so it’s hard to meet people outside of my own little bubble and good space brought movement and community into my life again I looked forward to the morning spent moving with Carmen Amanda and Tash. I recently had to relocate for work and miss good space every day! It was amazing to see how and prioritized each individuals needs in a group setting .

Try going to good space and not feeling good after — I dare you.

Good Space lives up to its namesake in every way -- from embodying the ethos that yoga and meditation can be accessible to everyone, to the actual studio, which is beautiful, light-filled and full of thoughtful touches. My Move More class was accessible, positive and I got a good sweat out of it. I can't wait to go back!

This space has a pretty magical energy the second you walk in. They offer a great range of classes, from intense flows to restorative stretches - I leave every class buzzing. All of the teachers add their unique flare to each class, I definitely recommend trying out as many as you can to then decide who's class vibes with you best. There is a real sense of family at this yoga studio, I feel as though its a home away from home. As well, I love that they host a bunch of different workshops, expanding accessibility and knowledge of wellness to the community.

This place is amazing. Every instructor I have had so far has been excellent! Patricia, Carmen, Alexa, Tori and Tash - thank you! I really enjoy coming here!

I love this yoga studio! Especially the move+ease classes with Patricia and Carman.

Good Space is such a unique space and has a very welcoming environment. Specifically, I have been going to the Kundalini & Pilates Class by Renelyn and I look forward to it every week! The class is a great mix of zen/yoga practices and pilates - you really feel like you get a workout, but leave the class feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend!!

I have been coming here for a year now and it is my favourite studio! The atmosphere, instructors and variety of classes are great. Carman is an exceptional instructor!!

Incredible space and Amanda Acorn’s classes are amazing (as always)!

I absolutely love this studio. Renelyn is the best yoga/pilates/cardio instructor I've ever had. Her classes always make me feel renewed and energized. The space is lovely, and their zoom offerings are just as high quality. Everyone who works there is super friendly and easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend!
