The Willow Studio

Expérience fantastique: This place has changed my life! I am recovering after having children and i am so grateful the williow studio has been here to help me. I have done physio, core recovery for mom and now core and floor yoga. I am in love!

Expérience fantastique: I started with Stephanie at the Willow Studio as a volunteer approx. 3 years ago. I loved it right away, not even knowing much about Yoga but loving the atmosphere of the beautifully decorated, always spotless environment with so many plants and so much sunlight. 3 years later everything I felt has just increased my passion for what the Willow does and stands for, and has made me a ride or die employee . Stephanie somehow has created a magic oasis, a truly welcoming, inclusive, unintimidating and stunning hub for anyone with an interest in Yoga and/or Pilates that I've yet to see replicated anywhere else. The schedule has something for everyone - you want to sweat and strength train? We got you. You want to feel your body relax into the floor and allow release of stress/trauma/tensions? We got you. The quality of classes and instructors is unbelievable. As I got to know each instructor, each class, and the way of transparent, respectful communication where all voices are heard and respected , the more I realize what a unique studio this is. The integrity of everyone that has become a part of Willow, be it client, staff, volunteer, our RMTs and Physiotherapists- it's really almost magical and I know that sounds crazy. To sum it up, all I can say is ...you need to come here. Come try it. Experience why people stay. You will be doing yourself such a kind favour.

Expérience fantastique: Willow is an amazing studio! Beyond the yoga, which is fabulous, the entire atmosphere is one of acceptance and growth. Each instructor, and I’ve taken classes with several, has their own unique style, yet the sense of support and encouragement remains consistent. I have attended Willow Studio since July 2018, as a compliment to Holistic Health Physiotherapy’s pelvic floor exercises. After successfully rehabilitating my pelvic floor, I began to take “real” yoga classes and fell in love. My daughter, then 8 years old, started doing Willow’s virtual practices during the first lockdown in 2020. She now attends Willow with me once a week and also always has a positive experience. Stephanie, the owner, has worked tirelessly to provide quality programming despite closures and restrictions. The air is practically magic, with an overall HVAC system and not one, but two, portable air filters. Stephanie gives back to the community wherever possible, to the extent of offering free Zoom recording practices on the website and providing a weekly Friday evening Pay-What-You-Can practice. Stephanie embodies all the values of her studio: community, support, and kindness. Willow has diverse class offerings, from the very relaxing and restorative, to the strengthening and stretching. There really is something for everyone.

Expérience fantastique: Just totally wowed ! As a local cleaning business owner, I was very blessed to have a closed yoga class set up with Bonnie for the staff of Clean Obsession and I have to share with the world how amazing this experience was! We were all challenged and relaxed during our yoga class. The studio was super clean and all set up and ready for us to arrive. We learnt so much about yoga as we were guided through each of the poses. I believe I found my new favourite activity. Even The Willow Studio’s light fixtures were so unique that it allowed my mind to wonder. And to top off the experience with even more icing on the cake we had the pleasure of an application of essential oils on our hands during our session. Everyone MUST try out this amazing gem!

Expérience fantastique: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The Willow Studio has a calming atmosphere beginning when you walk through the front door. The class instructors are knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The Willow Studio classes are special, calming and help me to find my internal peace - everything I want from a yoga studio.

Expérience fantastique: Kelly is an excellent Massage Therapist. Very clean and relaxing environment. Can also do direct billing for Sun life (not sure about other providers), which is a big bonus.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been doing the 50+ yoga class with Heather Clarke since the beginning of July and have really been enjoying the class, the teacher and the setting. The studio is super-clean, calm, and lovely; the props are well organized and in good shape; and the space is comfortable and relaxing. I even like the hand soap in the washrooms!

Expérience fantastique: The Willow Studio is such a beautiful space! The lounge is so enjoyable and the standard of cleanliness is far above reproach! From the services and workshops offered to the kindness of the staff, this is one of Peterborough's finest wellness businesses!

Expérience fantastique: Great new studio! LOVE that they have avoided the hot yoga trend - so much more inclusive and accessible! The website seemed to imply that you have to sign up for a full series, but they do have space for drop ins. I took the Wednesday flow and stretch and it was a well thought through flow and even had a handstand hop so I'm hooked - a very approachable challenge. The only suggestions for improving would be to offer more Vinyasa style classes and offer 75 min instead of 60 to allow for that space for mediation and Asana.

Expérience fantastique: I love going to the Willow Studio. It is such a beautiful space and I feel so comfortable there. The teachers are amazing. Thank you Steph for creating such a beautiful place that makes me feel confident in what I'm doing!

Expérience fantastique: I went to the men's yoga class on Sunday nights. It was awesome, I usually find yoga can be a little too slow for me, this was perfect. The instructor kept a great pace of both relaxing and focused stretches, but the class moved quickly and was never dull or boring, really looking forward to my next class.

Expérience positive: beautiful studio, clean, soft lighting, tastefully decorated and equipment to borrow. Lavender bean bags were terrific! Lounge to relax after. Great instructors. Lots of parking

Expérience fantastique: I started taking Stephanie's classes a year and a half ago when I was pregnant. I started in the prenatal yoga classes and transitioned into her Core and Floor Recovery class postpartum. Steph is well educated on safe exercises for postpartum bodies, and my recovery wouldn't have been the same without her! I have also taken her Adventure Babies class and am currently taking her High Intensity Interval Training and Yoga class. I highly recommend all the classes I have tried!

Expérience fantastique: Stephanie's Core and Floor Yoga class is a must for moms (new and not so new)! I found it super helpful in re-learning to engage my core and pelvic floor throughout everyday activities. The classes were gentle, applicable to all levels of fitness and a really welcoming space.

Expérience fantastique: I loved the relaxing prenatal classes all throughout my pregnancy and also have since enjoyed mom and baby core and floor recovery classes, as well as mom and baby hiking adventures. Stephanie Reynolds has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to yoga, movement, core strength, pelvic floor health, and so much more. It's been great having the opportunity to enjoy exercise, in a way that's safe for my prenatal and postnatal body. Stephanie is also always available and keen to address specific needs and questions!

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend the pre and post natal yoga classes. The pre natal class helped prepare me for a successful delivery and the post natal class has allowed me to get my core back in shape and spend time with my baby and other moms.

Expérience fantastique: So happy that I found Stephanie Reynolds Yoga! I was pregnant for the first time, and wanted to do something good for myself and my growing baby. I searched for a prenatal yoga class, and a friend told me about Stephanie Reynolds. I found the prenatal yoga to be the most relaxing hour of my week! Once my little bundle arrived, I decided to sign up for her pelvic floor and core yoga. I was very active pre-pregnancy, and wanted to make sure I could get back to that. I am currently 9 months post pardum, and I feel great! I believe this class had a big part in my recovery. I will continue to take this class as long as I can!

Expérience fantastique: I took multiple classes with Stephanie Reynolds Yoga during my pregnancy and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. I found the classes very calming and they provided great stretches and had good variety from week to week. I always looked forward to the classes and look forward to trying more that Stephanie offers in the future!

Expérience fantastique: I have been to a number of Stephanie's classes now and have enjoyed them all. The Gentle Yoga class was a great way to relax and take time for myself in the midst of a hectic work week, while the Yoga flow class is a great mix between a good workout and a de-stresser. All of her workshops that I have attended have been wonderful as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephanie Reynolds Yoga to anyone, whether they are beginner or experienced yogis there really is a class for everyone!!

Expérience fantastique: Stephanie’s provides a relaxing environment. She explains clearly how to do each Yoga pose so your body and mind get the most out of it.
