Testimonials

  • ★★★★★
    “The Red Door Yoga Teachers are amazing! Every single one of them is kind and thoughtful, prepared, professional. They’ve more than met my needs, they’ve exceeded my needs in every class. And I look forward to their different approaches and different styles and just think they are all wonderful!”
  • ★★★★★
    “Over the 8 years I don’t feel like it’s been repetitive… it’s just new learning all the time and it’s just helped me a lot in my life.”
  • ★★★★★
    "There was no way ever that I was going to any yoga class! Then one day a friend told me there was a new yoga school opening with a free first week and I should go. After several times suggesting the same thing and with a class called Seniors' Yoga, I went! I have never quit going once a week to Seniors yoga since then (8 or 10 years perhaps). Red Door yoga has changed my physical and mental life for the better and there is no doubt in my mind that I would not be getting around as freely as I do now at age 82 without it."
  • ★★★★★
    "I cannot recommend Red Door highly enough - I started there several years ago as a total beginner and found several different classes that met my needs. Having now taken any number of classes, I can say that every teacher is well-qualified - their training is excellent, thanks to owner and teacher Kavita Maharaj - and they are also, without exception, lovely people brimming with compassion and humour. The variety of offerings is amazing, including classes targeting seniors, folks with multiple sclerosis, beginning and experienced meditators, and several different yoga modalities/approaches. The studio itself is literally in a forested clearing and is lovely and peaceful in design, and is only minutes away from Nanaimo's major north end mall and major arteries. Rates are reasonable and competitive with local offerings, and the more classes you take, the lower the price per class. Red Door has genuinely improved my health and daily life, particularly as a person with chronic disabilities, and I recommend the studio without reservation!"

    "Kavita is an amazing teacher who is the best that I have experienced at teaching proper form and technique. My practice has included taking yoga classes in various locations in Ontario, Florida and British Columia during the past 15 years. I have also taken classes with Roberta and Cindy at Red Door Yoga, and they are very competent teachers too. The facility is modern, bright, quiet and clean, and provides a great setting for the practice of yoga."
