Naked Yoga Experience
17-person maximum capacity · $35 at 659 Yonge St. (3rd floor)
Combining flow, somatic movement, nervous system regulation, and restorative partner work, this practice invites you to inhabit your body with power, presence, and ease.
This isn’t about performance; it’s about permission. Permission to explore strength and softness, activation and relaxation, self and other. In the safety of a nude men’s space, you’re invited to move, to soften, and to come home to your body.
Open to all men ready to explore the balance of effort and ease through somatic movement and conscious embodiment.
Please bring: water · a small towel · a yoga mat + towel to place on top · a journal (optional) · anything that supports your comfort.
Digital-free zone. Please leave phones, smartwatches, and devices in your bag and silenced. This space is for you — distraction-free, fully present, and grounded.
With pleasure,
Paul Galloro
We invite you to help create a sober space for your practice and your fellow Yogibares by being well hydrated and abstaining from any substances for a minimum of 12 hours before class. For some, that may include high levels of caffeine, sugar, or anything that alters how you show up in a space (that isn’t taken as prescribed). Consider it an experiment in becoming comfortable in your body and with yourself, just as you are. We look forward to seeing you on the mat!
Expérience de yoga nu
Capacité maximale de 17 personnes · 35 $ au 659, rue Yonge (3ᵉ étage)
En combinant le flow, le mouvement somatique, la régulation du système nerveux et un travail restaurateur en duo, cette pratique vous invite à habiter votre corps avec puissance, présence et aisance.
Il ne s’agit pas de performance, mais de permission. La permission d’explorer la force et la douceur, l’activation et la relaxation, soi-même et l’autre. Dans la sécurité d’un espace réservé aux hommes nus, vous êtes invité à bouger, à vous adoucir et à revenir chez vous, dans votre corps.
Ouvert à tous les hommes prêts à explorer l’équilibre entre l’effort et la facilité à travers le mouvement somatique et l’incarnation consciente.
Veuillez apporter : de l’eau · une petite serviette · un tapis de yoga + une serviette à déposer par-dessus · un journal (facultatif) · tout ce qui peut contribuer à votre confort.
Cet espace est sans appareils électroniques. Téléphone, montre intelligente et autres appareils dans votre sac, éteints ou en mode silencieux. Cet espace est pour vous — sans distraction, en pleine présence, ancré dans le moment.
Avec plaisir,
Paul Galloro
Nous vous invitons à contribuer à la création d’un espace sans substances pour votre pratique et celle de vos camarades de Yogibare en vous hydratant suffisamment et en vous abstenant de consommer toute substance pendant au moins 12 heures avant le cours. Pour certains, cela peut inclure une consommation élevée de caféine, de sucre ou de tout autre élément susceptible d’altérer votre état d’esprit (à l’exception des médicaments pris sur prescription). Considérez cela comme une expérience pour vous sentir bien dans votre corps et avec vous-même, tel que vous êtes. Nous avons hâte de vous voir sur le tapis !

Getting to Toronto
Se rendre à Toronto
Book early. July is a popular time in Toronto and availability for July 17–19 will tighten fast, especially for budget options.
Getting around. Downtown is very walkable. The TTC subway, streetcars, and buses cover most of where you’ll want to go. Uber, Lyft, and bike/scooter rentals are everywhere.
UP Express: fastest and most popular. Terminal 1 at Pearson to Union Station in 25 minutes, every 15–20 minutes, 7 days a week.
Taxis & rideshares (Uber, Lyft): readily available at the terminals. 25–45 minutes depending on traffic.
Public transit (TTC buses): budget-friendly express buses connect Pearson to the subway. Slower than UP Express.
Complimentary shuttle bus: free shuttle from the airport (via the pedestrian tunnel or short ferry ride) directly to Union Station. Every ≈ 15 minutes.
Taxis & rideshares: at the mainland terminal. Usually a very short ride (5–15 minutes).
Public transit (TTC streetcars): 509 Harbourfront or 511 Bathurst connect to the subway system and downtown.
Réservez tôt. Juillet est une période populaire à Toronto et la disponibilité des 17–19 juillet se resserre vite, surtout pour les options économiques.
Se déplacer. Le centre-ville se parcourt très bien à pied. Le métro, les tramways et les autobus de la TTC couvrent l’essentiel. Uber, Lyft et la location de vélos/trottinettes sont partout.
UP Express : l’option la plus rapide. Du Terminal 1 à Union Station en 25 minutes, toutes les 15–20 minutes, 7 jours sur 7.
Taxis et VTC (Uber, Lyft) : disponibles aux terminaux. 25–45 minutes selon la circulation.
Transports en commun (autobus TTC) : autobus express reliant Pearson au métro. Plus lent que l’UP Express.
Navette gratuite : du terminal de l’île à Union Station, environ toutes les 15 minutes.
Taxis et VTC : très courte course (5–15 minutes).
Transports en commun (tramways TTC) : 509 Harbourfront ou 511 Bathurst pour rejoindre le métro et le centre-ville.
