Moksha Yoga Bloor West
So, $5 is not the normal price here. That's the community class price, which is a great introduction to the practice. And at this studio they actually offer community/karma classes at reasonable times (8pm on Fridays and 3pm on Sat & Sun) so... +
So, $5 is not the normal price here. That's the community class price, which is a great introduction to the practice. And at this studio they actually offer community/karma classes at reasonable times (8pm on Fridays and 3pm on Sat & Sun) so there are plenty of chances to get a class in. That said, because it's such a bargain, sometimes the classes are a bit to crowded. They max out at 60 people and it can be cozy, which in a hot room, especially if you're new, can be overwhelming. Also, for the cheap rate, you also get newer instructors and more basic classes, although they always have a helper on hand, and I find it works out fine.
Regular single classes are $18, and these are really good if you spring for them. They offer more variety and advance practice than the community classes can offer. They also have a great first week offer of unlimited yoga for $20 and sell package passes.
All the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and have made complete yoga converts out of two of my friends who were brand new to the practice. The facilities are really nice, clean and classy, and they also offer massage services on site (although I've never used them).
I wasn't sure about hot yoga until I went here. (They also have a non-heated room at this location). Even though I have yoga classes as part of my YMCA membership, I still come here because it's such a great environment.

The DivaCup
I know it sounds gross, but it really isn't. It's a bit of a pain the first month when you get used to putting it in (tip: Don't worry about being able to "turn" it, just stick your finger in and make sure it's popped open), but... +
I know it sounds gross, but it really isn't. It's a bit of a pain the first month when you get used to putting it in (tip: Don't worry about being able to "turn" it, just stick your finger in and make sure it's popped open), but after that it's golden. 12 hours without changing your tampon? Good for the planet? Good for your body? Just make sure you boil it after each month - it helps keep it from staining as much (my only real disappointment with the product), and also keeps it as clean as possible to prevent any irritation. Also, skip the expensive diva wash, and wash it with something like spectro gel instead. -
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo
Great shampoo for blondes that doesn't weight your hair down. This is my daily shampoo.

L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara
If you hate goopy mascara, consider yourself saved. This is exactly as advertised and goes on clean and natural looking. I usually can't find something like this is a drug store brand, but I couldn't be happier.
