studio 1: Infrared heated yoga, fitness & barre studio
Our infrared heated fitness and yoga studio is always calm, clean, and welcoming, and our teachers lead with passion, purpose, and authenticity. Detox your body, heal your soul, and feel the deep healing of our FAR Infrared Fitness and yoga classes, an experience similar to exercising in the warmth of the summer sun.
All of our classes in Studio 1 are heated between 32-40 degrees Celsius and can be found in class descriptions.

(We recommend Supported Soul!)
Yoga mat rentals can be reserved and paid before attending the class. Mat rentals are $8+tax each and must be reserved in advance through the Breathe app under your account.
We ask guests to spray and wipe mat rentals with provided cleaning spray and cloths after use. Hang on the barre to dry. The spray is made up of dish soap and water. If you spray these on your mats at the beginning of your practice, you may end up with a soapy, slippery mat.
when to arrive
To provide the best experience for you at Breathe, we have a strict attendance policy for all of our classes. We ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of class to set up your space and get settled. The front door is locked 5 minutes before the start of class to ensure we start & finish classes on time. This also provides safety for the guests inside the studio.
If you need to leave class early, please make arrangements with the instructor beforehand. We do not want to be disruptive to other guests attending the class. If you know that you will be unable to complete the entire class and leave early, we highly recommend attending another class so that clients on the waitlist can attend.
In the event of an emergency we need to have correct attendance. All instructors will check you in to class. If you cannot attend your scheduled class, please cancel out of the class via the Breathe Fitness app. This also allows clients on the waitlist an opportunity to attend class.
setting up for classes*
Setting up your mat space correctly for classes ensures busy classes run efficiently and effectively so we can move without injuries.
Please refer to the photo for mat space set up guidance.
Yoga mats need to be placed with the Breathe number sticker front & centre of the mat. Unsure of where to find your mat number? You can view it under 'My Schedule' in the Breathe Fitness app, or your instructor can help you out!
Instructors will have their mats set up at the front of the studio in advance to show what equipment and props will be used in their class.
Equipment, props, towels, and water bottles should be placed at the top of your mat space.
Please respect your neighbors and be mindful of movements that may enter any shared space.
*Barre classes to be set up differently, arranged to use the barre. Your instructor will guide you in mat placement.
post-class cold aromatherapy towels
We offer cold aromatherapy towels infused with lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint at the end of our classes in Studio 1. Instructors will provide you with these towels, and if you choose not to use one, that's perfectly fine!
Using our cold towels after your class offers several benefits:
🌿 Cooling and Refreshing: After a sweaty session in a heated environment, a cold towel provides instant relief, helping to cool down the body and lower the heart rate.
🌿 Aromatherapy Benefits:
- Lavender: Lavender helps to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation and mental clarity post-workout.
- Eucalyptus: Invigorating and can help clear the sinuses, making breathing easier after the intensity of your workout.
- Peppermint: Peppermint oil cools the skin, soothing any heat-related discomfort and awakening the senses.
🌿 Skin Rejuvenation: The cold towel can help to close pores that have opened up due to the heat, leaving the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and toned.
🌿 Mind-Body Transition: This small ritual can help bridge the transition from the intensity of the workout to a state of calm and relaxation, leaving you feeling balanced and revitalized.
cleaning supplies for mats, props, and equipment
Before you enter the studio, you will see supplied equipment spray and white cloths. The equipment spray is safe to be used on all equipment, props and yoga mats. This spray should be used when returning a used yoga mat rental, but not to be used for spraying your mat during class.
The spray is made up of dish soap and water. If you spray these on your mats at the beginning of your practice, you may end up with a soapy, slippery mat.
The white cloths also are only used for equipment and cleaning. Do not use as a face towel. Please bring your own personal sweat towels. No class is complete without Supported Souls Super Absorbent Hand Towel which is perfect for any yoga or fitness activity that works up a sweat.
studio health & safety standards
The studio floor is mopped after classes, and scheduled cleaners provide a deep clean of props, equipment, washrooms, showers, and more to ensure health and safety for all of our guests. We appreciate your help in making our studio a welcome, clean, and safe environment for everyone!
