On December 14, 2012, the Chopra Yoga Center in Toronto will open its doors with a weekend of complimentary yoga and meditation classes. This is the second Chopra Yoga Center to open this year – the first was in Vancouver.

“We’re very excited to be a part of Toronto’s vibrant yoga and wellness community,” Chopra in a released statement. “In today’s urban world it’s easy to become overwhelmed with stress. The Chopra Yoga Center will serve as a refuge where guests can experience the balance, calm, and vitality that is cultivated through yoga, meditation and wellness.”

Created in partnership with the world-renowned Chopra Center for Wellbeing, the custom-designed 6,500 square-foot wellness center will offer a variety of traditional and new classes rooted in the foundational teachings of Deepak Chopra. Classes will include hot hatha, power vinyasa and Pilates as well as hip-hop yoga, and the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga. Naturopathic medicine, registered massage therapy, Ayurveda services and other wellness services will also be offered.

“We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our opening in Toronto, than to invite the community into our space for a weekend of free yoga,” said Danielle Mika Nagel, director of studio development for Chopra Yoga. “We invite both beginner and advanced yogis to come down and check out our classes and wellness offerings. Our center embraces all levels.”

In addition to complimentary classes, there will be a special pre-opening rate of 30 percent off regular pre-paid memberships until Saturday, Dec. 15. For more information visit: www.choprayoga.com/toronto.
