Strength And Grace Yoga

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful studio and Meg is such a skilled instructor. With excellent cueing, she manages to make the simplest poses challenging! It was a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Great experience!

Fantastic experience: Strength and Grace is a great studio. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable. The studio is clean, has a good layout and is spacious. The Gentle Yoga class is perfect for beginners!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, the instructors and the community! Events and retreats are also worth going to which really supports local

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Navina! I felt so welcome in this space as soon as I stepped in. Meg is such a phenomenal instructor and her class was the highlight of my week. Every instructor has their own strengths and I felt like I always had options to adapt how I needed to. I’d love to see more evening classes down the road so I’m able to attend more often during the week!

Fantastic experience: What an unexpected gem! A friend recently encouraged me to attend a yoga class with Meg and with some perseverance, helped me to see why Meg's class is so special. This is not some random yoga class with a flavour of the month instructor. Meg has integrated the fundamentals of yoga, mindfulness and psychology together to create a multi-sensory experience that gets you out of your head and finding the edges of your comfort zone. Even if you're like me with the attention span of a gnat, Meg's approach keeps you engaged and focused, and if you do mentally wander like I do, brings you back to the body without missing a beat.

Fantastic experience: I joined Navina yoga during the pandemic as was looking for ways to continue this practice from home. I have continued to do this practice from home as I live in BC as this studio is in Alberta (I found it by mistake but a good one as it turned out) Yoga in person is opening up in my community but I love the variety and availability of this format. Works for me and Meg and her crew have kept me balanced through a very challenging time. Thanks to Navina Yoga. Your are the best.

Fantastic experience: My favourite yoga studio in Edmonton! I have been to a number of studios and have been so impressed by Navina Yoga. They have a variety of unique classes that can challenge all skill levels. Meg and all of the teachers are attentive and create a comfortable atmosphere. The studio is always impeccably clean and they have clearly put in a lot of effort to keep their clients and staff safe throughout the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Navina for a few years now and every time I come whether it’s been a month or 6 months they remember my name, continually encourage me during practice and make me feel confident. Nikki and Jen are great, I love their classes and I will continue to come back

Fantastic experience: Great ambiance, amazing instructors and fun classes.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming to Navina. The staff learns you by name and always makes you feel welcome. The studio is always in immaculate shape and the classes are amazing. I love that they offer barre and yoga its a one stop shop. I can't wait to get back into the studio. Meg and all the teachers are absolutely the best. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Navina Yoga is fantastic. Within the context of the current pandemic, Navina Yoga has remained dedicated to supporting its customers and providing them a place of reprieve, whether that be online or in person (when permitted). The variety online classes (barre, yoga, pilates) are of high video quality and experience. The online classes can be viewed on-demand or live, which is incredibly convenient for your schedule. Included in the monthly/yearly membership cost are workshops and challenges - such as a yoga Nidra workshop (and more). The instructors help to build a connection with their students - even within the context of an online community. Navina Yoga focuses on wholistic wellness, offering other comprehensive elements such as podcasts and meditation. Thank you, Navina Yoga!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always had such positive experiences at Navina Yoga! The staff and owners are very friendly and knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. They offer a great range of classes (even outdoors during the summer!) and have high quality online options as well. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and relaxing studio with awesome classes!

Fantastic experience: I did the prenatal class with Megan both in person and after they switched to online classes. Megan was great, the environment was very positive and relaxing and the yoga was perfect for prenatal needs. Their online classes were also great very good quality and can be accessed anytime from home .

Fantastic experience: Best yoga studio in Edmonton. They have made it easy to continue to practice with their online platform which is impeccably done. Love all the instructors and classes.

Fantastic experience: Navina Yoga is a saving grace during this year of unexpectedness throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The range of quality offerings, the welcoming atmosphere and genuine care of the instructors and staff make this place incredible. A special 2020 note, they've worked tirelessly to ensure the quality of their online studio to help with keeping us all safe - from the class library to live feed classes, you can participate in classes anytime, anywhere.

Fantastic experience: Navina Yoga is an amazing studio that has great classes both online and in person. With having a little toddler at home it is difficult to go out to the studio to have a good workout (even if CoVid19 weren't around) so with their online studio I am able to catch their classes in real time at home AND if I miss a class, I can catch that class later on in the day with their 24 hour archive of live classes OR play one of their on demand classes.

Fantastic experience: Having tried many of the yoga studios in Edmonton, I can easily say Navina is my favorite. The atmosphere is welcoming, the instructors are wonderful and the classes are full of variety. Their recently launched online studio has allowed me to practice at home and feel safe, while still enjoying the feeling of participating in classes.

Fantastic experience: Amazing yoga studio! Great instructors, wide variety of classes and excellent online classes available as well. Keep up the great work Team Navina!

Fantastic experience: I love the environment and care that Meg and the team have put into this business! It’s by far my favourite yoga studio in Edmonton, and the diversity of offerings and incredible expertise of the team can’t be beat.

Fantastic experience: I completed the 40 day challenge with Meg back in March 2020 and absolutely loved the program. Its well balanced and incorporates yoga, meditation, diet and self-reflection into your daily life. It has probably been the only program that has got me into a routine of exercising and meditating regularly. There are a lot of great lessons taught along the way, and I would definitely recommend this program!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the online 40 day challenge. It was AMAZING. Megs instruction was so easy to follow and I was able to learn a good foundation of yoga poses. That combined with the guided meditations and the journaling exercises made this program life changing!! I've made yoga part of my daily routine and I feel stronger by the day. Thank you Meg!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always been intrigued by 30-day yoga challenges, but never had the time to make the commitment. Until recently. The combination of being out of work, thanks to COVID-19 pandemic, and Meg Stevenson’s 40 Days to Personal Transformation Challenge – online, of course – at Navina Yoga finally created the ideal opportunity for me. But this was no ordinary yoga challenge. It was much more than just taking a yoga class every single day for a month, which is significant in its own right. The multifaceted program included not only yoga classes, but meditation, suggestions on how to break bad habits or change behaviour routines (like saying “Yes” to everything that comes along!), advice on how to avoid typical yoga injuries, opportunities to journal about your thoughts (with prompts from Meg, of course), promotion of healthy living (including awareness of diet, discussion about healthy foods, recipes and a sugar detox), self-improvement tips, motivational tips and links to appropriate Ted Talks. Basically, there was something beneficial that could target every participant and, often, many times over. Meg, who is very passionate about this very detailed program she has been running for the last 10 years, sent daily group emails to check in with how you were feeling or what you were thinking and encouraged everyone to keep making the commitment to the 40-day Challenge while also granting permission to skip a day if that’s what you needed physically or mentally. A new yoga sequence was provided every week, starting with an easy 25-minute practice before gradually extending the sessions and making them a little more difficult each week as you started to build more strength. There was a break in the middle of the challenge to do a Nidra practice for a week, and then we resumed the physical part of the program with longer and harder practices, finishing the final week with a 90-minute session. The provided meditations also got progressively longer each week. I am 64 years old and have done a lot of different types of yoga classes during the last 10 years. I’m also a Yoga Association of Alberta-certified 500-hour teacher (and registered with Yoga Alliance), so I’m familiar with the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga. I’ve also learned to listen to my body and understand what it needs. So with no disrespect for Meg’s program, I occasionally took a detour with a yin or Nidra class instead of that week’s daily class because that’s what my body or mind needed at that time. I also took a couple of days off to rest my body without feeling guilty about doing so. There were some parts of the challenge I didn’t participate in as fully as I intended, but I still saw the value in each and every aspect. I will continue to work on the things I need to do the most. I love the fact that I could download the yoga sequences, so I can go back to whichever program I want to do at any time. And I sometimes wished that I had been able to read Meg’s daily emails 20, 30 or 40 years ago when I may have been blindly dealing with a similar issue on my own. Overall, I really enjoyed the opportunity to participate in this Challenge and believe that my practice, level of teaching and life can only grow from being a part of it.

Fantastic experience: Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for a while, this studio has something for everyone. I just completed the 40 Days to Personal Transformation online program and recommend it to anyone wanting to commit to making some healthy changes in their life. I gained so much from my experience and it has helped me grow in my yoga practice and discover that I actually enjoy meditation. The online classes are good quality and easy to enjoy from the comfort of your home and most of them with or without props. Once Navina is open for in-studio classes again, I highly recommend going to try out a few different classes. Every instructor has a different teaching style, but I have never once been disappointed. The studio is a clean, beautiful, bright place with friendly faces when you walk in the door. I have been a member for a while now and that won't be changing any time soon!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Navina Yoga. They have many different class options for anyone at any level. I recently did their pre natal yoga online classes. I was very grateful that they were able to still make these classes possible. I had so much fun doing these classes and looked forward to it every week. I strongly suggest any expecting mothers to do this course. Sara is an amazing instructer.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this studio.I tried out Navina Yoga with my Yeg Fit Pass.I went to Jessica’s Yin Yoga class last night, I loved it.Everybody that worked there was so welcoming.I loved the peaceful and calm environment.It sucks that I live far away from Navina Yoga so it wouldn’t be convenient for me to go there often.Please open another location.

Fantastic experience: Great yoga studio! There is a great energy in this space, welcoming and relaxed. Meg is a great instructor and has a very comfortable style. We had recently did a corporate class with people of all experience levels and ability and everyone walked away with a great experience. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Not only does Navina have top notch yoga and instructors they also have Barre and Pilates! All your fitness needs in one beautiful place ! My home away from home ❤️

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this studio. Meg and her team are wonderful instructors and there is a good variety of classes. They have a really great sense of community and I feel lucky to have this studio so nearby

Fantastic experience: This is by far my favourite yoga studio that I've tried in Edmonton. The instructors and staff are amazing and there are lots of different classes to choose from (yoga, barre and pilates). I also love the environment of the studio: the classes are warm, the waiting area is cozy and you always feel so welcomed when you walk through the doors. I can't recommend this studio enough.

Fantastic experience: I started at Navina with a Barre class with Ashley and Natasha. What a blast! My daughter and I then got a membership. I’ll never forget my first yoga experience. I was full of anxiety and intimidation thinking of all the “yogies” with their perfect shape and knowledge.My instructor was ever so kind and gently guided me with adjustments. I have never felt judged and love the sense of community every time I go.It is a place for all levels of ability. The instructors care about each individual and I would highly recommend Navina Yoga for everyone seeking a physical, mental and spiritual experience.

Fantastic experience: "Namaste This Way" - the sign on the door says it all. The experience starts with a warm smile and hello as soon as you walk through the door. There's complimentary tea in the sitting area as you wait for start of class, and the rooms are always clean, warm and inviting. The instructors are all knowledgeable and provide clear guidance and instruction for whatever level of practice you are at.

Fantastic experience: Navina Yoga is a beautiful studio with amazing teachers! They offer a wide variety of classes and I loved the Beginners Yoga series with Jess Starrie. I highly recommend treating yourself to a class here.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Navina Yoga since it opened.This is an amazing place for so many reasons. First and foremost the sense of community is amazing. Second all the instructors are top notch and always create an environment that supports you when you are learning and challenges you as you progress. Third, their studios have no mirrors which I love as the focus is on how the poses feel and not how they look. Fourth, they also offer Barre Pilates and a "Trifecta" class that combines Barre, Pilates and yoga. So much fun and such a great work out. And last but not least Meg, the owner/instructor/mentor is an exceptional human being and is always there to support and encourage and share a good laugh If you are new to yoga or a complete yogi you must try Navina - pretty. sure you will love it as much as I do

Fantastic experience: No, this is not hot yoga. But after YEARS of hot yoga, I progressed more in my practice in three months than all of my years combined practicing in a hot room. I will never go back. Meg and her team have created a wonderful community where you will be encouraged to go beyond what's comfortable.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great yoga studio then Navina Yoga is the one for you. They have a good variety of classes to meet whatever level of yoga you practice at plus they offer pilates and barre classes as well (which are also fabulous). Their instructors are wonderful; they are attentive to all their students in their class, offering corrections when needed to ensure that you are getting the full benefit of a pose as well as preventing you from injuring yourself if you are at all unsure of what you're doing. Meg and her staff are kind and caring and you are always met with a smile when you walk through the door. The space is warm and welcoming - you will not be disappointed if you go there! Highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have been practicing yoga at Navina since they opened. The variety of classes from Barre, Pilates and Yoga ticks all my fitness boxes. Sense of community is a key focus at Navina with frequent events such as Peace in the Park. Navina feels like my second home and I’m grateful to have them be a part of my life.

Positive experience: Great place. So friendly and instructors great

Fantastic experience: Clean, inviting environment. Exceptional instructors! Wide variety of classes to provide challenge at any level...and we have fun. Navina's vibe makes you want to keep coming back.

Fantastic experience: This is the best yoga studio I have EVER attended. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and take a personal interest in each of our personal journeys. The classes are varied allowing many options with numerous skill sets. I love this place and appreciate that I have much stronger and whole body fitness as well as wellness of mind. Thanks to all the instructors!

Negative experience: Littering neighborhoods with desperate door-hang ads. What a mess.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio with amazing quality yoga teachers

Fantastic experience: Thank you Navina Yoga for organizing & dedicating your time & efforts to this event, 7th Annual Peace in the Park July 28, 2019. Yoga, treats, silent auction, DJ, supporting CASA: everything was fantastic ! Meg put on an amazing class in Victoria park , whether your yoga is at an event or in class at their lovely Windermere studio- highly recommend Navina - to get your yoga on !

Fantastic experience: Today was my second Mom + Baby Barre Class, and my third time to the studio taking a class. I am beyond thrilled with the class itself, the instructor (Ashley) and the entire facility experience. The receptionist (Alicia) went above and beyond today to email me a recap of all the questions I asked her today while I was in class and the reminder was nicely sitting in my email for me for when I was done. Both ladies are so kind and welcoming - I will admit I was terrified at the idea of taking a fitness class with a baby. I highly recommend Navina Yoga classes and it has beyond a positive facility to visit.... If I could give more stars I would! Thanks to Ashley and Alicia for being so awesome !!!!

Negative experience: Used to love this studio,however the price increase is insane. Went up $50/month for a monthly pass. And that's the cheapest option! (Auto renew). $150/month is too much for yoga when there's no proper change rooms, no showers, no coffee bar and such. Money grab. And $170/month for a regular monthly pass? Sad to see They turned into just being greedy. They had good potential when I was going their first two years of opening. Extrmewly disappointed. This isn't Beverly hills...

Positive experience: This review is a little (actually quite a bit) late to the game but I went to one yoga class at this studio. The facility is very clean and nice. The changing area is quite small compared to other studios I've been to. I assume this was in order to facilitate a large studio -- it's just a bit crowded after class in the change room. The instructor (Shannon) was amazing. Her class challenged us as well a provided a nice relaxing meditation with aromatherapy at the end. The studio itself is tricky to find. It's on the second level through main doors (no direct parking lot access). The main reason for only 3 stars was the receptionist (petite brunette). She was not friendly whatsoever. No smile, no greeting. It seemed as though she was annoyed with the lot of us arriving all at once (we were there for a Sweat Crawl class). She was my first impression of this beautiful new studio. Luckily, our instructor managed to lift our spirits after the rude, non-existent greeting from their receptionist. Note: it's warm yoga not hot, so if you're looking for hot yoga you should check out a moksha studio. The warm yoga was quite nice though!

Fantastic experience: Navina Yoga is amazing. Meg and her entire team have dedicated themselves to making Navina Edmonton's premiere yoga studio, and the quality and value you'll find here is second to none. When COVID hit, they created an online studio that is so easy to use, and the video and sound quality is very professionally done. Even when I'm practicing at home, it still feels like I'm right there in studio with them! The studio offers not just yoga, but barre, pilates and now meditation. I cannot recommend this studio enough - it's literally been my saving grace during this crazy year that's been 2020. Thanks Meg, Sarah, Alicia and the entire Navina team. You're the best!

Fantastic experience: Great space and service... it’s a small studio but they are very organized and have well-informed instructors

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this yoga studio!! ❤️ Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: This review is for navinas school summer camp. My daughter is 4 and very shy, she was excited but nervous to go to summer camp. Within minutes of meeting Sara I could tell she was going to be ok with staying there. She made it through the whole week and loved every minute of it! Every night she went to bed she was saying thank you to me for signing her up. Sara was amazing with the kids and I wish the summer camp was year round! I definitely recommend sending your kids here next year. Thanks for showing compassion and being someone my daughter looked forward to seeing everyday!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. They offer a variety of classes and every instructors class that I have gone to I have really enjoyed. I have done mom and baby classes here and I now bring my kiddos to the days where they offer childminding. A really beautiful space with friendly staff. I highly recommend this place to all levels of yogis.

Fantastic experience: The yoga teachers here are the best. They provide such great instruction for all levels of practice and every single class is unique and fulfilling. The studio is beautiful! Tranquil, clean, and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio. Amazing staff with big expertise and bigger hearts. Great schedule offerings for all levels. A real gem in the heart of Windermere. November 2019 - On top of the amazing in-studio experience, Navina also supports taking the yoga experience beyond the mat. They share how to bring all that delicious strength and grace into our demanding daily lives. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy life. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: It is always a pleasure going to Navina. i really enjoy their variety of classes, calm vibes, and welcoming atmosphere. Meg and her team do a great job.

Fantastic experience: Navina is a great studio for all yoga enthusiasts, new and experienced, young or old, male or female! The classes are amazing and all the instructors are top notch! Every time I went to a class, the teachers make you feel so welcome and relaxed! I highly recommend the studio to everyone interested in yoga, and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: Navina is a beautiful yoga studio that makes you feel instantly relaxed, comfortable and peaceful when you walk through the doors. Meg goes out of her way to learn the names of her clients and takes time getting to know us. All of the instructors are amazing (which makes booking classes easy) and I'm never disappointed when I leave. I really love that tea is provided before and after class and that the instructors offer aromatherapy during shavasana; these small details really enhance your yoga practice. Finally (because I could go on...), the studio also offers a variety of workshops in addition to their regular classes, which I would highly recommend checking out.

Fantastic experience: Incredible studio! Meg and all the instructors are warm, knowledgable and kind. Great range of classes that are appropriate for every level. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience! Meg was super pleasant and the overall vibe was calm and relaxing. Highly recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: Love Love this studio!! It has such a great vibe - super clean, friendly, warm, and the teachers are awesome!! I always like to come here when I need a good stretch and need to release tension, whether its physically or mentally. I find the classes are "slow" but challenging - there is no momentum to carry you through the poses, which is why I always leave feeling more lighter, looser, and relaxed! They guide the class so your body feels every pose inch by inch. Also, I noticed that they give more hands on adjustments, which is always nice, especially when you are in a child's pose and they press you down further :) At the end of each class, the teachers come around with aromatherapy which helps you relax and fidget less for your shavasana! Check them out!!!

Fantastic experience: Meg and her staff are exceptional instructors. The studio is clean and has lots of natural light. If your looking for a great local yoga class then you've found the right place. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Navina is such a special place. Aside from being a gorgeous space, Meg and everyone on her team make an authentic, personal connection with you after just one class. Whether you're years into your practice (not me), relatively new to yoga (me) or need modifications (definitely me), you're embraced into this community. Check them out- you won't regret it.
