At Nest, we offer a wide variety of movement classes and interesting and engaging workshops and events aimed at deepening your practice, physically, mentally and spiritually. Our workshops have included a 6-week journey through the rich and fascinating history of yoga with our “Living Your Yoga” workshop and a 4-week Pilates workshop using a band and squishy ball. We moved and breathed together apart, in our virtual Summer Solstice event to welcome the new season in support of Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank. Over the holidays we connected online to support each other and women in need through the Red Door Shelter.
Take a look at our calendar below to see what we have coming up, and to book your spot online! Looking forward to having you join us.
