Yoga Lab Victoria

Great studio with lots of great teachers and practitioners alike. The main room can get quite hot during a hot class. The only downside (if you can call it that) is that the studio is often well attended at the more convenient times so it can feel quite full and less intimate. Even so, the energy is very good and a very supportive atmosphere.

Super disappointing experience here. I signed up with my wife for the month trial period (I never had any intent of signing up, just joining wife for support). Our first class was pretty standard, we signed up and there was nothing exceptional but also nothing bad at all about the class. It was a totally standard class like many i've been to elsewhere and we enjoyed ourselves. Literally the next day however my wife sprained her ankle so I immediately reached out by email and just asked if we would be able to continue our one month trial when she was all healed up. I explained that we enjoyed the class and I could provide a Drs note and also that my wife would certainly be joining up as a member. I was not asking for a refund and just wanted our trial period extended as it hadn't even been 24 hours since we signed up and she would not be able to attend any classes for at least 3 weeks as a result of spraining her ankle. The supervisor there said this would not be allowed and her offer was for us to pay $18 each for the one single class we did the previous night and that then they would extend it. So that was their solution. A place that supposedly promotes kindness and compassion, when my wife sprained her ankle, asks for $36 to put our trial on pause not even 24 hours after purchase. MIND BLOWING poor customer service. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. I have included Willow response below. Hey Carson, I hope this emails finds you cozy and enjoying this beautiful rainy day :) Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. My name is Willow and I am one of the supervisors at the studio whose main role is supporting clients with accounts/memberships, so, you have reached the right person! With regards to pausing or extending your Intro Month, that is just simply something we do not offer unless you have monthly membership with us. However, I would love to be able to support the two of you to get the most of your Intro Month passes so how does this sound: If you each pay our drop in rate of $18 for the class you attended then I can free up both of your Intro Months for you to start fresh when Kaitlyn's foot allows. Let me know your thoughts! If this sounds good we can connect over the phone and get this all sorted for you. Kindly, Willow

An excellent yoga studio. Staff and instructors are warm and welcoming, and the studio itself is beautiful with clean amenities. Definitely recommend!

Best yoga place I have been to. Great staff, awesome classes and I love the ability to book online. Thank you for being great!!

Amazing, amazing teachers and community. I visited Victoria and popped in to Yoga Lab Victoria for a few classes. I took the 4pm Saturday Hot Vinyasa Yoga class with Sam, the Sunday 8:30 am Flow Yoga class with Sam Streeter, and the Monday March 2nd 7am Align Flow class with Kim (who I do not see listed on the teachers page on their website... there is a Kim listed there, but she isn't the one who taught the class I went to.) and all three classes were awesome. I've been practicing Yoga for ten years, and teaching Yoga for six years in Austin, Texas and I've taken and taught thousands of classes, and this studio is excellent. Very clean, organized, good locker room and showers, the community is friendly and focussed, really want to learn more about Yoga, and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable, personable, friendly and accommodating. Sam graciously shared her music playlist with me after the class :) I absolutely loved both Sam and Kim's teaching styles. I left feeling refreshed, lengthened and strengthened. I loved the alignment cues, the focus on breath, the atmosphere of the studio (the place was packed, but the students were all either meditating or warming up before class started. Very focussed, which I like. No talking, coming in and out of the room, walking around, etc; it was very conducive to Yoga) and the teachers were very inspiring with everything they said and did. Lovely experience and if I ever return to Victoria I'll definitely make it a point to stop by and take some more classes. Victoria, B.C. is lucky to have such talented instructors and such a wonderful space and studio available and at such great prices!
