Room to Relax

"It's always a pleasure to do yoga at HappyTree. With a bright and cozy environment, I immensely enjoy my practice and chatting on the couch with others, drinking tea. Yoga at the studio provides an energizing and relaxing break from my studies."

Stress Management Workshop with Mark

A revolutionary approach to one of the biggest epidemics
of our times!

Join Mark Laham
as he breaks through the myths about stress,
and learn how to handle stress the MindBody Warrior way!

The truth of the matter is that most people don’t even realize they’re stressed, let alone understand the long-term effects that it can have on both their mental and physical health.

Stress, in-and-of-itself, is neither good nor bad. It is what you do with it that makes all the difference. Most people will tighten up, cut off their breath, and get all worked up and flustered when faced with challenges or stresses.

Let Mark teach you how to handle stressful situations with ease and turn them into an opportunity to thrive and grow on both a personal and professional level.

Material covered:

* How to identify stresses and tensions in your life.

* Tips on how to deal with them as they happen.

* How to identify the real causes of the stresses in your life.

* How to train yourself to stay calm, focused and in control during the most challenging of situations.

* Exercises to help strengthen your nervous system so that you can raise the threshold of how much your system can take.

If you are living in North America today, you can’t afford not to take this workshop!

Melanie Completes Her Challenge, originally uploaded by HappyTree Yoga.

Melanie Halpert actually completed her personal challenge of "100 Classes in 100 Days" by doing 101 Classes in 90 days. She celebrates here with a well deserved cake, Melanie Richards (HappyTree founder & instructor), and instructor Albert Bissada.

She says:
"My experience at HappyTree Yoga Studio over the past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. Not only have I found my niche within a welcoming, nourishing community, but I have also transcended many self-limiting beliefs thanks to the excellent instruction I have received throughout my practice. When I reflect upon where I was when I first joined the studio and see where I am now, I am truly astounded by the transformation of my body, mind and spirit."

Welcome!

Welcome to the new online home for the HappyTree Yoga community!

Whether you're a regular smiling face at the studio, looking to find a new place to unroll your mat, or new to yoga and looking for a starting point (and a mat!), you're in the right place.

All HappyTree classes are given on a drop-in basis, which means that you can try a class without ever having to commit to a style, a schedule, or a membership package. We do of course have Class Cards as well as Monthly and Annual packages.

Our teachers are skilled, approachable, dedicated people, eager to help you explore the joys of yoga on and off the mat, and our studio is a lovely oasis amid the concrete, only steps away from downtown.

What makes us special is the sense of inclusive and loving community that HappyTree offers. Smiles live here. Friendships have been planted at HappyTree, and grown well beyond these walls. Laughter and tears find safety here, in a place where it's understood that humanity is something that we truly are in together.

We have danced, sung, raised glasses and given out countless hugs since we opened in the fall of 2007, and we've certainly only begun.

Feel free to stop in for a class, a tour, a cup of lovingly homemade yogi tea, or just a moment of peace. We look forward to meeting you.
