SAOR studio is located in the west end of Toronto (Jane/Dundas) and is very spacious (4,000 square feet). As soon as you enter you will be welcomed into a bright and spacious reception with lots of natural light, stunning brass art and a welcoming sitting area. We have two studios in our space, locker/change rooms and showers for your convenience.

studio a

This is our ENERGY OUT studio. It is warmed (not hot) with infrared heating panels to warm the muscles and body during our pilates based efforts. Stunning arched windows welcome you into the room and fill the space with natural light. Our energizing and high intensity classes help you surrender into the effort required to shed old patterns and create space for new ways of being. The state of the art surround sound speakers fills the room with emotion driven music specially curated to motivate and inspire you to move your body freely and without limitation.

studio b

This is our ENERGY IN studio. The moment you walk in you immediately feel the desire to exhale and collapse onto your mat. Our low impact heavy weight (10-20 lbs) Lift classes and Restore classes will unfold in this very special space. Carve out time to indulge in slow mindful movement with us and untether yourself from the world. Plan to leave this studio feeling grounded, calm and with a new clarity on how to navigate the many adventures life sends your way with clarity, strength and ease.
