Setu Yoga Studio

Very high quality yoga! Mahayar is highly skilled and since attending classes from 2017 as a complete novice, I've learnt so much about different poses and how yoga can improve the quality of your life. Every class is so different, one never gets bored as each class feels like a new adventure. Highly recommend this studio :

August 2022 I have been new to this kind of yoga and it is extremely humbling. I cannot belief how hard it is, but I love Maria and Olga as my teachers. They are kind, patient and very sweet. I hope with time I will get better at it. Definitely worth a try. Nov. 7. Well it has been three months in and I have persisted with these classes with Maria and Olga. These are the beginner classes you see. I feel much calmer, I feel I am getting a bit better, but then doing anything hard is worth being persistent at. I love that even though you are in a class with four up to nine other people; it is really about you and focus on how you can be better. It is an hour and half of forgetting the rest of the world. When you focus on the poses, the world melts away and you leave your troubles and the world you live in behind. I love that. It is safe space. That is how I see it. It is still hard, but with this added benefit. Thank you Maria and Olga.

A small and modest cafe and yoga studio in Leslieville that may be easily passed over by pedestrians, but looks can be deceiving. The owner and head instructor of this studio is Mahyar Raz, the most advanced teacher of Iyengar Yoga in Canada, so it's a real blessing to be able to participate in her classes here in Toronto. I would highly recommend trying out her classes with an open mind. It is a great supplement to whatever other physical activities or types of yoga you may partake in.

I was absolutely new to yoga and really enjoyed a beginner's class. I definitely recommend it.

Mahyar is the best yoga instructor, in fact, the only Certified Senior Iyengar Yoga instructor in Canada. Everyone in our class has been coming for years and years and they would agree on this. The only studio in Toronto and Canada probably that teaches you REAL yoga! It’s a must try to say the least.

Mahyar is the only certified senior Iyengar yoga instructor in Canada. I’ve been doing yoga with Mahyar in the past 27 years. There’s never been a class that was repeated or taught exactly the same by her in the past 27 years. That’s how creative she is. Every class has its own focus. Teaching us not only the poses and asanas, but also the philosophy behind yoga, has tremendously changed me as a person for the better. Whenever I feel a little down, I go to Mahyar’s class as a therapy. It has been part of my routine every week. I 100% suggest her class to everybody. If I want to rate is not five star is more and more five star, because she is a grate artist and she knows the mathematics her both of her minds is on her control and she teach us how we control our mind every of class for me is like a one strong stories to my mind and sitting relaxed in my own life. Thanks so much Mahyar for being part of my life and even to my children. We are tanks full to find you to our life. Namaste

It’s a blessing to study yoga under the supervision of Mahyar Raz, the most advanced teacher of Iyengar Yoga in Canada. I can’t put it into words how grateful I am to be her student for the past 9 years. Every single class you have with her is a journey in to your body and mind. Every time you take a class you go more in depth and I can say it gradually improved all aspects of my life. Even during my pregnancy her knowledge and thoughtfulness were the most important factors which helped me have a most smooth and healthy pregnancy. Highly recommend Setu Yoga Studio.

For a wonderfully authentic yoga class try this amazing studio. Mahyar brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to helping students stretch and heal their bodies through asana practice. Interestingly, the Iyengar yoga style is not as well known in Canada as it is in other parts of the world. Try it a you will walk out of class feeling refreshed, renewed and with a better understanding of your body.

This is the best yoga studio you can find. Studying with Mahyar is a special and unique experience. She is the only Iyengar Yoga teacher in Canada who has an advanced level certificate.

This is a gem of a place in Toronto. I drive a long distance from my home at Georgian Bay to participate in yogic learning here. I am not new to Yoga.Yoga has been a lifelong and integral part of my heritage. Yet coming to, and studying with Mahyar, Director of Setu, she holds the senior most Iyengar certificate In Canada has influenced every aspect of my life. All the teachers at this studio are very well trained and extremely dedicated. In addition there is a distinct sense of community and caring here.
