Yoga By Shiva (Shiva Mahdavi)

I had the chance to learn Yoga at this amazing studio here in North York. One of the best Yoga studios I have ever attended. All the instructors are amazing Shiva, Maggie, Maryam and my personal favourite was Gledis. She used to chant Sanskrit mantras at the end of her sessions which I loved. I’ll revisit soon once I get back in Toronto. Keep doing the great work guys. ❤️💯

Shiva Yoga Studio is truly a sanctuary of peace. Shiva guides each session with such depth, presence, and authenticity that you feel your energy rise and your soul calm with every breath. I’m so grateful to have found such a grounded and inspiring Iranian yoga teacher here in Toronto.

Very grateful to have this studio close to my place. It is truly calm and peaceful, exactly what I was looking for. The energy shared between the teachers and all practitioners is very special. Beyond the classes and the teachers, I really love the overall vibe of the studio. After each session, you feel cleansed and healed. Thank you so much, Shiva and the teaching team.

I’m so grateful for Shiva’s yoga studio and her incredible ‘Rise and Shine’ morning series. I’ve participated in this one-month series three times now, and each time it’s been both comforting and challenging in the best way possible. Starting my day in such a grounding yet energizing way has made a huge difference in my routine and mindset. Any day I have the time, I find refuge in her studio, whether in her classes or with the other amazing instructors who work alongside her. Highly recommend this space for anyone looking to practice with intention, focus, and strength!

I have been attending Yoga by Shiva Studio regularly and have had a consistently positive experience. The sessions are well-structured, professionally conducted, and easy to follow. Clear guidance is provided throughout, with a balanced focus on posture, breathing, and mindfulness. The studio maintains a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. Each class leaves me feeling refreshed and mentally focused. I have noticed improvements in flexibility and overall well-being. The approach is suitable for all experience levels. I recommend this studio to anyone seeking quality yoga practice.

This is a fantastic studio. Offers a great selection of classes. Great group of yogis 🙏

Been going here for a couple of months and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. The classes are engaging and easy to learn. The instructors are caring and attentive! Do not hesitate to go here if you want to practice yoga

An absolutely wonderful studio with amazing energy! I go to classes multiple times a week, and it has become my go-to space for nourishing my mind, body, and spirit. Shiva, Maryam, Gledis and Maggie create such a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for self-discovery and holistic health. It is the perfect place for community, personal growth and well-being.

I don’t live here, and I came to an intermediate class, assuming it was an intermediate class. I was expecting a flow, which typically is Vinyasa yoga. The cues were poor. I’m currently YTt 200 and There were very few inhale exhale cues. The flow was just one on each side. There was no flow - just do one side each pose then do the other side. Maybe it was just for beginners, but it was confusing because they advertised it was for intermediate, and I found myself comparing it to the studios that I go to in Boca Raton, Florida, which are much higher quality teaching /flows. I was really surprise by , Lack of flow cueing and beginner/ basic poses. And I was embarrassed to do any arm balances or any true intermediate yoga for a fear that I would be criticized as showing off even though it’s what my body needed.

The yoga studio has a lovely vibe, great location, spacious, and super clean.

There are many class times to choose from as well as a variety of instructors.

Professional yoga instructor and studio in North York, Highly recommend Shiva
