Before I started doing infrared hot yoga at Studio W.I.S.E I suffered from sever asthma. I would have an asthma attack almost every week, it was very scary! When my asthma got really bad I got referred to the asthma clinic in the Royal Victoria Hospital. I went to the asthma just after New years in 2011, they told me I needed 2 kinds of puffers, and I needed to take them 3 times a day. My asthma did improve slightly by April, but no big change. Then I went back in August and there was no change and the doctor left my medication the same... I started doing hot yoga at Studio W.I.S.E in September and went back to the asthma clinic in November... When the doctor did my peak flow meter test I had doubled my air intake... The doctor couldn't believe it! He retested me on the spot to make sure the results were accurate, which they were! He asked me if I had changed my medication or had started any new work out routines to which I said hot yoga! The doctor said that infrared hot yoga that Studio W.I.S.E offers must have really helped my lungs! "

Thanks to Studio W.I.S.E I now can breath and I am all around healthier!

"From the first time I attended Studiowise hot yoga, I knew I had found a life-long and life-changing practice. I never knew that such emotional healing and mental rejuvenation could exist in the context of an amazing physical work-out. The instructors are deeply caring and personally involved, offering constant modifications to make classes enjoyable and accessible for all - whether new to or experienced in yoga practice. The infrared heat increases ease of breathing and movement, while heightening relaxation and the depth of the work-out. I have participated in other hot yoga classes where the humidity had a stressful effect. The comparative lightness of the infrared heat was like nothing I had experienced before. Thank-you Studiowise for giving me a safe and loving environment in the midst of a difficult time in my life, and for helping me develop the strength of heart, body, mind and spirit that I have needed to persevere."

Rejuvenated. Relaxed , Release , These are some of the words that have encompassed my life since attending Studio W.I.S.E yoga studio for the past six months. Yoga instructor, Betty C, has taught me many aspects of wholeness and wellness to bring into my life and healthy wellbeing. Being a hairstylist, I constantly have to bend, stretch in awkward ways and stand in one place for lengths at a time, not to mention the mind stress of the daily communication of my job. Also from being a runner , my muscles and body tense in such a way that it cause intense pain throughout my system. From attending Betty yoga/hot yoga classes she has enabled me to make my body one with my mind and soul. I have learned to relax, stretch, and open my heart center to allow healing into my body. I have also built an immense friendship with Betty which will join me in my journey to health and wellness within Studio wise.

What a wonderful studio! I never thought that Hot Yoga would be for me and now I know how wrong I was.

After having pelvic difficulties and a slipped disk along with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I found the Infrared heat eases my aches and pains and helped to boost my immune system when feeling run down. Just lying under the infrared panels lets my body open up so easily, releasing tension, tight muscles as well as any negative emotions.

The people that I have met at Studio W.I.S.E. are so lovely and enjoy the classes as much as I do. Now I am part of the Studio W.I.S.E. team and am loving every minute. Thank you Betty for bringing such a healing environment into our neighbourhood, long may it last.
