To make sure you’re feeling good heading into endless amounts of turkey, it may help to go sweat it out at one of these local yoga studios. As an added bonus, many of these places also offer student discounts and introductory offers to first-time yogis.

Yoga and Beyond
This studio was started in 2009 by Ning Gao, an inspirational Chinese woman that immigrated to Canada in 1996. She gave up her law career back in China, and after many struggles, opened the first Yoga and Beyond Studio in Kensington (go read her bio on the Yoga and Beyond website when you have time). It has since expanded to another studio on Centre Street, and now yoga, barre, spin and aerial yoga are offered between the two studios. New comers can snag a two-week yoga/barre pass for $29, or upgrade to the Plus pass, which offers all four types of classes at $55 for two weeks.
