Studio in Details
Overview
Kimberly George Yoga operates from a home studio in south Barrie, just west of Highway 400. The studio opened in September 2017, built on years of personal practice and formal study. The instructor completed a 250-hour Hatha Vinyasa teacher training in 2009, pre and post natal yoga certifications in 2010 and 2012, and restorative yoga training in 2012, including advanced restorative training in 2014 with Andrea Peloso. This foundation informs the studio’s offerings, which center on the connection of mind, body, and breath. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Zoom sessions introduced in August at $12 per class. However, regularly scheduled Zoom classes are currently on hold. Prospective students are invited to inquire for the latest schedule and to arrange attendance.
Classes and Services
Several class formats are available, all open to all levels. The Hatha class emphasizes alignment, strength, flexibility, and stability through held postures. The Hatha Flow incorporates more movement between poses while maintaining the same focus. The Restorative class uses gentle, supported poses with props like blocks and bolsters to encourage deep relaxation. A Restorative Flow class combines a gentle flowing first half with restorative poses in the second half. Pricing for in-person classes is not specified; Zoom classes were offered at $12 each. A waiver must be completed before attending, and the instructor requests at least one day’s notice for a first class and one hour notice for subsequent visits.
Studio Experience and Policies
The home studio setting offers an intimate and personalized experience. The instructor’s continued personal practice and enthusiasm for watching students develop their own practice shapes the atmosphere. Communication is key: students receive the address after expressing interest and completing the waiver. The studio prioritizes breath awareness and proper alignment, with restorative props used to support ease. This small-scale environment allows for individualized guidance, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The instructor’s approach is grounded in the belief that yoga is accessible to everyone, and the studio culture fosters a supportive, focused community.
