Do you ever create an intention before class?

A feeling, a need…something you would like to be mindful of as you move and breathe through class. Now, keep in mind that being flexible with your intentions is WAY more important than having flexible hamstrings.

Want power, but really need grounding?
Your body and breath have a way of letting you know.

Barbie is BACK on the regular schedule.

You’ll find her every Saturday at 10:30 teaching Yin Yang - the most delicious combination of dynamic movement, and stillness. The class helps you move things around, and then gives space to let everything settle. You’ll leave feeling clear and grounded.

Also join her on Saturday, November 29 at 4 pm for Henri's Class; a monthly Ashtanga Inspired Power Flow.

It’s THAT time of year - routines and schedules are in full effect, and booking classes in advance is a safe and easy way to ensure you are getting exactly what you want.

We LOVE a full house but loathe turning anyone away.

Welcome to OTM!

We’re a yoga studio in the west end of Halifax, on north Oxford Street. We love our hood, we love our people, and we love teaching yoga. We’ve got two studios under one roof; Little Mat is fully accessible, and perfect for smaller workshops and intimate classes. Big Mat has LOTS of room, and we fit 35 beautiful people into a lot of our classes.

Speaking of classes, we’ve got something for everyBODY, whether you are a beginner, or have been practicing for years.

Our studio’s vibe is the antithesis of cool - we don’t chase trends or “likes”...we’re just nice people who really love yoga
