Circle Studios Yoga + Art

Great place. Lovely atmosphere. Many different classes for beginners to advanced level. I am looking forward to keep on going!

Awesome studio! Bought the intro pass and mostly did Pilates classes, they are exactly what I’m looking for. They’re a great workout that I can do a few times a week to tone and get strong!

I love coming to Circle Studios! I decided to purchase the 30 Day Introductory Offer and tried many classes including Pilates, Hot Yoga, Warm Vinyasa Flow and Warm Gentle Hatha Yoga. It was my first time practicing yoga at a studio and every instructor was so kind, encouraging and helpful. The place was also very clean and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Breathe, Rest, and Restore classes. They are a great wind down (and wind up) at the end of the day or end of the week. The three instructors I have had the chance to be with (Tara, Alicia, and Alana) have all been so great. Each one puts a different spin on the class and so it keeps it fresh. Can't wait to try more of the classes.

Excellent space and place to experience fairly involved yoga sessions not the least because of the heaters present. Great variety of instructors and great management by Melanie Lourenco. Of course it also offers a great venue for other holistic health modalities like art therapy and counseling.

Fantastic yoga studio, great teachers who are willing to work with you as an individual. Great variety of high intensity and restorative classes. So glad I found this place!

Love this space! So inviting with great people and a great atmosphere! My daughters had so much fun in aerial yoga while I got to sweat it out. Perfect for busy parents!

Circle Studios yoga studio is amazing. The ambience is lovely. I was warmly welcomed by staff and other yogis as soon as I walked in the door. They offer a variety of classes and workshops. I purchased a 30 day pass to try it out and am going to continue with their very reasonably priced 10-class pass.

This studio has changed my life! I have already felt so much improvement in my lower back strength since I've started coming to classes. I would recommend this studio to anyone at any level.

Circle studios is amazing. I was hesitant at first because I have tried hot yoga and wasn’t a big fan but I came to this studio primarily for the hot Pilates and wow have I been blown away. Even though it seems hard as you are doing it, it’s very motivating and you always want to come back. The instructors push you but are very encouraging and everyone is so welcoming. Jackie is amazing and remembers every students name even if it’s your first time. You definitely have to try this studio because you will fall in love with it.

I purchased the introductory class pass which allows for unlimited yoga for a flat fee for 30 days. This introductory pass is a great idea as I learned there are so many different types of yoga and each instructor is unique in their way of practice. The studio is very clean, inviting, they have mats for rent for a low cost if you need one, and the schedule was descriptive so I knew what to expect. The various classes definitely allow for a variety of practices you are looking for from contemporary Pilates, to breathwork, restorative, yin, the list is robust at this studio. As a newbie, whos never done yoga before, some of the instructors went a bit fast and I couldn't keep up, however it's repetitive so you catch on. They do explain each movement though. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and I appreciate their soothing voices during classes. I realized quickly that I am not flexible at all, but the instructors advise it will come with time. I would definitely recommend this studio. There is only street parking and a paid municipal lot across the street so if you are driving give yourself enough time to find parking as there is no designated lot for the studio.

Over the past month, I’ve gone to a variety of their classes easily say I enjoyed them all. I love the variation in styles offered, and especially enjoyed the warm vinyasa classes, as well as the inferno Pilates classes. Will definitely be one of my go to studios in Hamilton!

A friendly, welcoming, non-judgement yoga studio! Petra is an incredible yoga (the best in the KW area)! I have also loved Chris’s Yinyasa flow classes. The studio has showers and a changing area which is very much appreciated!

I love circle studios! All the classes and staff are amazing. I wanted to try it out and see how I would like it and now I love it! Love the energy of this place! ️

Brilliant studio with lovely instructors. The space is beautiful and everyone is friendly and welcoming. They offer a unique blend of classes and the studio is small enough that you get 1: 1 support in classes. I super appreciate this place and will be coming back after my intro offer!

Have been trying a bunch of different classes with my intro pass and am surprised at how much I've loved every single one of them! The instructors are friendly, kind and inspiring - so happy I found this studio!

I’ve been attending Circle Studios since September 2019. I started on the unlimited introductory offer and took the opportunity to try many of the classes on offer at the studio. My favourite classes include: Inferno Hot Pilates with Jackie, which is an intense workout but, somehow, Jackie always makes it superfun at the same time; Warm Yin with Mel, which is the best class for a relaxing stretch that leaves you feeling amazing afterward; and Warm Pilates & Yin Mix with Jen, which is the perfect combination of the hard work of Pilates and the relaxing, deep stretches of Yin Yoga. All the teachers are very encouraging and motivating during classes, and they plan/lead classes that are enjoyable yet challenging and make you want to come back again and again. The studio is always immaculate as well and is an overall pleasant space to practice in. I use the MindBody app to purchase packages and book classes, which is convenient and easy to use. 10/10 studio and teachers!

Nice studio with lots of space that is beautifully clean. Very welcoming environment. Well priced services and a wide array of classes. Class schedules allow time for anyone to make it to yoga class. Very excited to go to more classes!

There is no better place to come for yoga. I have practiced Bikram for around ten years and have experienced several other studios but this is the very best by far. I really enjoy coming here!

If I could give this studio 10 stars, I would! I have been a regular Bikram yoga practitioner since 2012 and just made the switch to Circles in early 2019. I am so impressed by this studio in so many aspects.
The STUDIO: If you are looking for an immaculate studio, this is the place! I have yet to see a hair on the floor or a dirty towel. The owner and the energy exchange staff take complete pride in the cleanliness and organization. Right away, you feel the positive aura. It always smells nice too.never that musty sweaty smell. Parking has never been an issue, I always pull up and find several spots in the downtown core. The lot across 12 Ferguson is free on Sundays and the metered parking is free after 6pm.
The PRACTICES: The Bikram practice must always be done with the right temperature and humidity to achieve optimal results. The temperature combination of this studio is BANG ON! They have both 60 min and 90-minute classes for flexibility and always felt incomplete when I did not do 90 minutes but at Circles, I always feel like the combination of heat and practice gives me the same feeling whether it’s 60 or 90. It’s always a challenge and feel like the time was well spent in the mental, spiritual and physical aspects. When I first started the Bikram practice, my biggest challenge was coping with the heat, a few classes later – I was craving the heat. Now I find like something is missing if I can’t get at least 5 Bikram classes in per week. It’s a positive life altering practice, and over the years I have seen so many students heal from chronic medical conditions. This practice has cleaned my skin, removed my toxins, increased flexibility, maintained my weight, healed my back and improved my digestions. Those are only a few physical changes and the spiritual and mental benefits are endless. I have also tried the Aerial Yoga, Flow, Buti, Yin, I like those as well and usually pair them up with Bikram class.
The INSTRUCTORS: Top notch! Melanie the owner is genuine, friendly and caring. She takes the time to speak with the students and very patient. Her positivity radiates throughout the studio and all the teachers have the same values as Mel. Although I haven’t taken classes from every instructor, I am planning on it! I also like the various events and workshops this studio has each and every month. It changes, keeps it fresh and fun!
The COMMUNITY: The students are all super welcoming and kind. Not clicky or snobby like I have experienced at other studios. I noticed that the more experiences students try to encourage the newer students, and everyone pushes each other. The owner has really worked hard to create this type of environment and it’s evidently a very happy place

Five stars is not enough to give Circle Studios. I started my yoga practice with a low back pain and tennis elbow. Taking Tylenol extra strength was part of my days. Doing yoga with the help of Mel has been nothing but a life altering moment for me. She has been so patient in guiding and teaching and encouraging me to keep on coming back on my mat to gain all the advantages that yoga could give to me. After my first practice, that night, I got up from my bed without any pain and I almost wanted to cry. Having pain getting up had been like a part of my life. Little by little, I felt my body healing. In less than six months, no more backaches and elbow pains. I explored more of the different yoga classes and I still have yet to find a yoga practice that I do not like. All the classes being offered have taught me to be curious, to explore and be thankful for the opportunity to be good to myself. All the instructors are so inspiring for their dedication and patience and knowledge of their crafts. Needless to say, my quality of life has improved tremendously. Mentally, physically and spiritually, I am a changed person. Oh and I forgot to mention, I haven't taken any Tylenol in almost 3 years.
My fellow yogis are just as inspiring. We all come with different stories but come for the same goal. To practice and benefit from the ancient art of healing, that is yoga.
