Spirit Loft Movement Centre

Expérience fantastique: Thanks for the introduction to your studio on New Years Day. I really enjoyed your lessons and space - looking forward to seeing you again.

Expérience fantastique: Catalina and Andre are amazing movement teachers. They've built a very welcoming and inclusive community. Everyone at the classes is always warm and encouraging regardless of where you are at in your movement practice. They are very passionate about mobility and have so much knowledge to teach you. You will gain a better understanding of your own body and what it can do. The classes are mostly task-based, where everyone just works on performing different movements tasks to the best of their ability. They will help you modify anything to make it work for you. I've already learned a lot from working with them. Definitely recommend checking out a class at Spirit Loft and talking to them about how you can improve your movement practice!

Expérience fantastique: This is a gem of a studio in the heart of Toronto that teaches a very pragmatic, unique and dynamic way of moving that I have never experienced in any other studio. They are very skilled and humble instructors that create engaging and fun classes where I leave learning something new about my body. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I've been to every imaginable practitioner. Chiro, Osteopath, Trainer etc. Not until I got to Andre did someone truly see my issues and challenges holistically AND have the tools to really help me. It's a long journey, but I'm happy I found Spirit Loft.

Expérience fantastique: Spirit Loft isn’t only an east-end gem, it’s a beautiful movement space that’s one-of-a-kind in Toronto and the GTA. The classes are fun and unique every single time. Not only will your body experience a great workout but along the way, you’ll learn about the human body and why it’s important to be doing the ‘work’/exercises to avoid injuries or recover more easily if you have a problem you’re working through. Everything can be done or progressed to your skill level or physical capability. It’s a supportive community of like-minded individuals of all ages who are genuinely interested in getting stronger, being mobile and most importantly, being curious about the infinite ways you can move and be engaged in physical activity. Catalina, Andre and the Spirit Loft team have created a truly special space that everyone needs to experience.

Expérience fantastique: Andre and Catalina are exceptional human beings who care about their community and the people who go to Spirit Loft. They are knowledgeable, responsive, supportive and kind. Their energy exudes in this entire space making it a very special sanctuary.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent team, great intelligent classes on all levels and a great community!

Expérience fantastique: This is an amazing movement studio with such a lovely team. It feels like a family. I look forward to coming back this summer for outdoor programming. The teachers give such high-quality instruction and the classes are so diverse and challenge me to dig deep. I love the emphasis on the exploration of movement quality in our lives and how fun the classes are.

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough about Spirit Loft. I've known Andre and Catalina for almost 10 years now. They're incredible people, and it shines through in everything they do. I can't wait to be able to visit their beautiful practice space again!

Expérience positive: Just had my first yoga class here and loved it! Can’t wait to experience more

Expérience fantastique: I just love this place. Friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable instructors. With such a variety of classes. I've been going for years and seeing the growth of this place has been exciting!

Expérience positive: My go to place for yoga, body education and mindfulness. This is a great place to supplement any other type of activity you might be doing

Expérience fantastique: As a personal trainer, I had gotten totally fed up with chronic injuries and pain when I worked out. I stopped working out for several months out of frustration until I surrendered to the idea that weight training just may not be right for my body (it took many years to admit that). After training with Andre using his DNS expertise, I now know how I should be moving my body, daily, without pain. I feel comfortable enow that I'm in their group class environment that I've learned enough about how to listen to my body, and activate my core (canister breath!) so that I can enjoy being active again. I can't thank Andre, and Spirit Loft enough for being the point of education/learning me and my body so needed.

Expérience fantastique: I'm very happy with all the classes I have attended at Spirit Loft (around 25 separate classes). The instructors are great - I need modifications for some of the movements because of injury, and they are very knowledgable and happy to give other options and to scale activities. I really like that they focus on quality of movement, and that there is a lengthly instructor led warmup for every class. I especially love the movement lab classes and the special events that they run (e.g., gymnastics rings workshops). I really recommend Spirit Loft, I have been very happy and learned a lot of different locomotion patterns and warmup movements here that were new to me.
