Studio in Details
A Holistic Wellness Hub in Downtown Hamilton
Circle Studios Yoga + Art occupies a welcoming 4,000-square-foot space at 12 Ferguson Avenue North, in the heart of Hamilton’s International Village. More than a yoga studio, it functions as a full wellness center, blending movement, creative arts, and therapeutic services under one roof. The environment is clean, organized, and designed to accommodate a wide range of wellness activities—from high-energy hot yoga to quiet therapy sessions. Spacious change rooms with showers and ample nearby parking (free on Sundays and evenings) add convenience for visitors. The studio’s philosophy emphasizes community and inclusivity, with opportunities to donate and give back, reflecting a belief that wellness should be accessible to all. The overall atmosphere is supportive and kind, as noted by many visitors, making it a grounding part of regular routines for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
Classes and Services: From Hot Yoga to Aerial Hammocks
The class schedule is varied, with something for nearly every preference and ability. The Original Hot Yoga, performed in a room heated to 40°C with 40% humidity, follows the traditional 26-posture sequence with two breathing exercises. For those who prefer a slightly cooler setting, warm vinyasa and hot pilates classes are offered at 35°C. Yin yoga encourages deep release through long-held postures, while kundalini blends breathwork, movement, and mantra. Aerial yoga uses fabric hammocks to support the body in zero-gravity poses, aiding decompression and joint mobility. Restorative yoga, gentle hatha, and a yin-yang flow class provide additional options. Kids yoga and seasonal camps (March Break and summer) explore movement and creativity. Monthly workshops and events bring in talented professionals from near and far for deeper dives into wellness. Private classes and yoga parties can be customized for special occasions. The studio’s app makes booking and checking schedules easy.
Art, Therapy, and Community Connection
Beyond yoga and fitness, Circle Studios houses a creative art studio that hosts monthly workshops for children, adults, families, and groups, encouraging creative wellbeing. The Treatment Room offers a range of body and energetic therapies, including Reiki, reflexology, Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage, and sessions with a registered dietitian and occupational manual therapist. The Therapy Room provides a private space for individual, couple, or family therapy with registered psychotherapists, social workers, art therapists, and life or business coaches. This integration of services allows visitors to address physical, mental, and emotional health in one place. Reviews highlight the knowledgeable and supportive instructors—such as Rachel R, Rachel G, Jasmine, Alysha, Jen, and Jackie—who make classes accessible and enjoyable. The studio’s commitment to community is evident in its inviting culture, where everyone is welcomed to explore their potential and connect with others on a shared wellness journey.
