Studio in Details
Overview
Resilience Yoga has been a fixture in Mississauga’s Lorne Park community since 2013, when Ginty Burns and Joanne Heaney stepped in to preserve a beloved yoga space that was closing. The studio operates in a regular-temperature environment—no hot, sweaty classes—and focuses on mindful movement, breathwork, and intelligent alignment. It serves everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners, fostering a welcoming, non-judgmental atmosphere. The studio has earned recognition as an award-winning yoga studio, a detail that aligns with the consistent praise from regulars who describe it as a calm, introspective haven. The founders’ commitment to maintaining a sense of community is evident in every aspect of the studio’s operations, from the thoughtful class schedule to the warm reception at the front desk. Daily classes are offered in-person, live-streamed, and on-demand, allowing students to practice at home or while traveling. The live-streamed sessions are designed to replicate the in-studio experience with high-quality video and audio, and booking closes 30 minutes before start time.

The studio provides a diverse range of classes including Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Flow & Stretch, Gentle Hatha, Barre, Yoga Fit, Nordic Walking, and Pilates-inspired sessions. Each class is taught from a foundation of intelligent alignment and a sense of play, catering to various levels and intentions. For beginners, a four-week Yoga for Beginners series helps build confidence and understanding of basic poses and alignment. Alignment Deep-Dive workshops offer experienced practitioners a chance to refine their technique. Special sound and breath sessions with visiting teachers like Zen monk Hae Kwang Sunim introduce Qigong and energy work. Private one-on-one or small group sessions are available for personalized attention, and workplace yoga programs bring wellbeing to corporate teams. The class schedule includes morning, lunchtime, and evening options, with some classes specifically designed for waking up or winding down.
