School Info
Lava offers a serene sanctuary to get away from the busy of life while you move, breathe, rest your body, meditate and connect. Lava has a wide variety of yoga class styles to choose from on a daily basis for beginner, intermediate or advanced participants. We offer 36 hours of classes per week and are open 7 days. Click on the "Schedule" circle on the top left corner of the page to review the classes. Our team of teachers is the best and most knowledgeable in the Durham Region.
We believe yoga is an exaggeration of life and how living life is a continuous flow from the beginning to the end; your practice should allow you to be on your mat every day. Looking to mediate or get sweaty, or both? The LAVA variety will allow you to consistently practice and stay healthy & connected to the journey within.
Lava Yoga is warmed with infrared heating panels recommended by doctors. We host classes with varied temperatures ranging from Reduced Heat (27-29C) to Hot (33-35C). There are a host of health benefits associated with infrared heat sources yet also a few health reasons to avoid infrared heat sources. Ask your doctor or read through this link to understand more about how infrared will benefit you.
