Welcome to First Step Yoga!

We offer beginner-focused yoga in Scarborough, Ontario.  


On this page you can read more about our studio classes.  Learn how to register and find out more about the studio space.

Beginner-Focused Yoga in a Friendly Community

First Step Yoga was created with community in mind.  Here, you are invited to "come as you are" and connect to others in an accessible and down-to-earth place.


Our small group classes are designed to support beginners and those seeking a slower, more mindful approach to practice.  We offer a low-pressure environment where you can practice at your own pace.


We are also happy to answer any questions.  Please feel free to reach out to firststepyogato@gmail.com for help along the way.
