I am practicing yoga for over ten years at various yoga studios. When I was looking for ways to enhance my yoga practice, my wife recomended Neha and Niren's Iyengar YogAnanta. I can honestly say based on all my years of practicing various styles of yoga (vinyasa, yin, hatha, Bikram, hot, restorative) - "Iyengar YogAnanta" is the real deal! Niren's practice is deep, well researched and it shows in his teachings. All the poses are broken down to the minutest detail which makes it easier to understand the fundametals. Yog is a life long journey and Iyengar YogAnanta is the place to start your jorney. My journey has finally begun!

Niren is such a dedicated professional and gives it his all in anything he does. He truly has a passion to teach and continue his learning in yoga. Nehal enjoys working alongside Niren and they together have nurtured Iyengar Yogananta into one of the premier Yoga institutes in the Toronto area.

Niren and Nehal are gifted instructors who care deeply about the subject and about their students. They are incredibly dedicated to the yoga practice as a whole and have created a beautiful community where practitioners of all levels are welcome and supported on their journey. The best yoga studio in Toronto by far!

Hello, I am grateful that I found Iyengar YogAnanta when the pandemic started. Since then it has been an enriching experience to learn from Nehal and Niren. Through Nehal and Niren, I have been able to learn how to be ambitious yet safe with my yoga practice and journey. They always maintain a delicate balance between challenging you and making sure that you do the asana the right way. My favorite part of the classes is when Niren shares teachings from Guruji and the Iyengar family. It is definitely a way to connect deeper with the Iyengar teachings. Lastly, I found that they both were always extremely giving in terms of sharing their teachings and wisdom with us and I am grateful to have them as my teachers.

Most helpful yoga! Nehal and Niren are very experienced teachers. They can tell through their long experience where a body is holding tension and incorporate stretches in their classes to help students release built up tightness. My life has improved by doing yoga with them and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to practice with them.

Nehal and Niren, the dynamic duo of yoga instructors at Iyengar YogAnanta, are exceptional. Their profound understanding of yoga and the unique needs of each practitioner truly set them apart. After experiencing their classes, they have elevated my yoga journey to new heights. What immediately struck me about Niren's classes is his uniqueness. The 90 minutes spent with him is not just about physical exercise; he is a holistic experience that leaves you feeling energized and healthy, both mentally and physically. Through his guidance, I've become more aware of the intricate connections and relationships within even the simplest yoga postures. This newfound awareness has enriched my practice immensely. Niren and Nehal's knowledge and expertise in yoga are evident in every class. They provide a hands-on and personal approach to each student, ensuring everyone receives the guidance they need to progress in their practice. Their dedication to their students is commendable. In my years as a student of Niren, I can attest that his clear and concise instructions make yoga accessible to practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Niren's patience and sense of humour create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere in his classes, making it a pleasure to learn from him. I am indeed fortunate and grateful to have Niren and Nehal as my guides on this yoga journey. Their dedication to sharing their knowledge and passion for yoga has transformed my physical and mental health. I wholeheartedly recommend Iyengar YogAnanta to anyone seeking an authentic yoga experience. It's become my favourite yoga studio, and I feel fortunate and blessed to be a part of this community. Thank you, Nehal and Niren, for creating such a fantastic space and inspiring us to delve deeper into our practice.

Nehal and Niren are excellent teachers who truly understand the nature and requirements of an individual. The classes are unique and the 90 minutes you spend with them makes you energized and healthy. I became aware of the connections and relationships in simple postures. Highly recommend them if you are looking for real Yoga.

I have been gaining new insights into asana from Niren since 2015. First, at the Iyengar Yoga Center and since 2020 through his online classes. Niren has practical advice for yoga students whatever their level and is an inspiring teacher. I have also taken several classes with Nehal and appreciate her style and approach. Both are gifted teachers and I highly recommend the studio.

As a computer engineer with over two decades of experience, I had been grappling with persistent back pain before embarking on this transformative journey with Yogananta. The demands of my profession had taken a toll on my physical well-being, and I was in search of a holistic solution. From the very first session, one was captivated by the mindful and personalized approach brought to each class. The attention to detail, coupled with a genuine concern for the well-being of the students, created a nurturing environment that immediately put me at ease. What truly sets Yogananta apart is the unique blend of ancient yogic wisdom and modern techniques seamlessly incorporated into the teachings. This integration resonated with me, especially as a tech professional seeking balance in a fast-paced world. Delighted to share that since joining Yogananta, the chronic back pain that had been a constant companion has significantly diminished. The carefully curated sequences, combined with insightful guidance, have not only improved physical health but have also brought a sense of calm and clarity to the mind. Moreover, the positive energy and sense of community fostered within the class have made each session a joy to attend. It's evident that Niren and Nehal are not just instructors but compassionate individuals dedicated to the well-being of the students, carrying forward the legacy of Guruji Iyengar. One wholeheartedly recommends Yogananta to all fellow computer engineers seeking a transformative and holistic yoga experience. Niren and Nehal, the commitment to the practice and the well-being of the students is truly commendable. Thank you for creating a space where individuals like me can find both physical relief and a renewed sense of inner balance. Wishing continued success in spreading the gift of yoga, honoring the spirit of Guruji Iyengar, to others. Ghassem

Nehal and Niren are both very caring, genuine, knowledgeable, attentive instructors. The instruction is very personalized! They take the time to get to know each student and they tailor their classes and the practice to each student's particular needs, even in the group classes. The space is lovely and airy and spacious and relaxing. I have made amazing progress with my anterior pelvic tilt (which was giving me back pain -- I no longer have back pain!) and I never thought I would be able to do headstand and handstands. Nehal and Niren are very dedicated and will help you gradually progress no matter your level and challenges!

My experience taking yoga classes with Iyengar YogAnanta has been nothing short of phenomenal. Niren and Nehal are such a great team. I am always welcomed by them with a pleasant smile, and a genuine interest in my wellbeing. When Niren teaches, Nehal works seamlessly in the background to make sure everything is running smoothly in terms of lighting, room temperature, environment, spacing, props and student comfort. In class, Niren has taught me to approach yoga from many different perspectives and inspired me to delve deeper in my personal practice so that I can become a better teacher. He has shown me to not just look at yoga asanas at the surface level, but to be innovative and to feel the subtleties and nuances of body position, physiological effect, changes in texture, tone, speed, volume of breath and state of mind. Waking up early to travel to Niren's 6 AM class is never a chore, but something I look forward to. I am so grateful to be able to attend such beautiful classes, where yoga is both art and science. Wishing YogAnanta continued success and abundance. Please keep up your amazing service to the community.

I recently joined Iyengar YogAnanta and it has been an incredibly positive experience for me. From the moment I walked into the class, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Niren is friendly,funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about yoga. Throughout the class, Niren guide us through a series of poses and flows, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their skill level, could participate comfortably. He provided clear and detailed instructions, making it easy for beginners like myself to follow along. One aspect that really stood out to me was the focus on mindfulness and relaxation Niren always emphasized the importance of proper alignment and breathing. The class itself is well-structured, good balance between strength-building poses and gentle stretches-providing a challenge while still allowing for moments of rest and recovery. The space is very clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary props. Makes me feel peaceful and serene, providing a perfect space for self-reflection and inner growth. Overall, my experience in this yoga class has been exceptional. I have a long way to go and learn and will continue my journey with them. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their physical fitness, reduce stress, and find a sense of inner peace.

If you are looking for an authentic Iyengar yoga experience, Niren and Nehal are your instructors! They are highly knowledgeable and committed to yoga practice. They know each and every student and their individual needs. Niren and Nehal help their students to improve their health and wellness, and open their mind to spirituality. Highly recommend this studio!

Very knowledgeable teachers! They are hands on and provide personal approach to each student. The studio is clean and well equipped. I enjoy each class!! Thank you Nehal and Niren! All I can say is that this is my favourite yoga studio!

Niren and Nehal are very knowledgeable, warm, and caring. Their studio is well equipped. Their teaching style is dynamic and personal and they absolutely take the time to show each student the right way to do things. I have had so much benefit from attending their classes. They make yoga a healing, enjoyable and spiritual experience. I can’t say enough good things about them and their studio.

Niren and Nehal are excellent instructors with tremendous Knowledge. I always feel positive and energetic after having a yoga session with them .. They are the most dedicated yoga instructors i have ever seen. If I could I would give them 10 star

Yogananta’s online classes have allowed me to continue, and even enhance and deepen my yoga routine at home. Feedback is immediate, incisive and applicable for the individual. An excellent choice for online Yoga.

In the last 30 something years I tried different sports such as Tennis, Volleyball, Swimming and... . In the last few years I hurt my knee( torn meniscus )and back ( disc inflammation). I suffered from the pain a lot, but whenever someone suggested starting Yoga I wasn’t interested because I was/am stiff and I kept thinking no way!! Yoga is not my thing but 6 months ago when I contacted Niren and Nehan and explained my situation, they told me Yoga is a must for me. At first I hesitated and thought maybe online classes are not good but when I started, everything was very good. I was in my own place and I didn’t need anything special to exercise. Niren and Nehal monitored each and every one of us all the time and gave us visual and audio instructions on how to go in a pose and how to come out of it. Now after 6 months I feel my body is more connected and I have less pain than before. More importantly anytime I have a concern I easily reach out to my teachers and they fully and patiently answer my questions. Generally speaking I am so happy that I started Yoga and I would highly recommend it. I promise you will enjoy it ;)

Excellent instruction. Niren has amazing knowledge of the connections in the body. He has helped me use yoga to rebuild and strengthen my body In response to health challenges. He is able to modify poses and offer many different ways to build toward a classical pose. Class is always different with different approaches in response to meeting the needs of the students in that class. His excellent eye offers personal body correction even when teaching on Zoom. While I miss class in person this has been an amazing safe alternative. Give it a try!

Many may be good practitioners of yoga but not all are great teachers. Teaching is an art the requires deep knowledge, intense practice, genuine dedication, and unbounded enthusiasm rooted in love for the subject. Niren is such a teacher. He was one of the first to experiment with teaching yoga online and has beautifully learned to overcome the limitations of teaching remotely. He has been able to make the online classes just as transformative as the in person classes. Of course I still miss seeing him in person but grateful to be able to continue learning yoga with him online. And yes you will still sweat from the comfort of your own home and will feel amazing after :) Each of Niren's classes are unique, fresh, with a rich experience that you carry into your life. Very thankful for having Niren and his classes in our lives.

Niren provides an authentic Iyengar yoga experience. He not only has helped me with an injury/pain I was dealing with but has encouraged me to maintain a regular practice of my own (which I know is the point, thanks to him). I feel more balanced in my life in general, more organized, more focused and am better able to deal with mood fluctuations. The accessibility of his classes are invaluable as I don’t need a babysitter or need to drive anywhere. Thank you for all of your wonderful and sometimes comical insights, you always make me smile during practice!

Niren and Nehal are great individuals with lots of knowledge. I always looked forward to come to class every week for my prenatal yoga. It was absolutely delightful and I highly recommend this place for yoga. It definitely helped me to ground and to be centered. Thank you Niren and Nehal for your support during the practices. You guys are awesome!

I went to Nehal and Niren with achilles tendonitis, chronic tightness in my glutes, and numbness down my quad. Within weeks, I noticed so many physical and mental changes. They take great care to teach you HOW to do yoga, so that you can PRACTICE effectively. As Niren says, “come to class to learn, practice at home to do”. So grateful to have found this gem of a studio, and the genuinely kind people who run it. 🙏

There's not much to say other than if you're looking for someone to guide you to enhance your yoga practice and deepen your knowledge, look no further than Niren. I highly recommend YogAnanta!

I love to practice Yoga at this class. The instructor " Niren " is very professional and patient with his students. He will teach you how to do the post and also the theories behind it. I strongly recommend Niren be your instructor and mentor.

From my very first class, I realized that this is the yoga I had been looking for all my life. The teachers (Niren and Nehal) have a profound understanding of the subject and truly rejoice in teaching. Every class is a journey to understand the complexities of the body and to couple the mind, body and breath. After a few years of study, I realized that physical issues from decades earlier had been solved along the way. So this yoga is not just good for the soul but is also physical therapy for a fraction of the cost!

It is extremely hard to find knowledgeable yoga instructors. Niren and Nehal are extraordinary yoga teachers which pass on the knowledge of such a complicated subject to the students, incorporating not only physical aspect of yoga, but also spiritual. I always feel light and uplifted after each attended class!

I’ve been practicing with Niren for over a year, and I highly recommend his classes. He is very professional and attentive to his students, and classes are offered in both in person and virtual options. I don’t live close but it is totally worth the drive!

Yogananta home studio is where I invorate my practice for the week. The physical space is peaceful, clean and well stocked with yoga props. Niren’s and Nehal’s instructions are thoughtful. They are both so kind. I have a lot of fun in class with the group of people that attend because there is a common respect and love of Iyengar yoga. Thank you to Guriji Iyengar for his teachings and for Niren and Nehal for bringing that to life for me in the present.

I feel truly lucky and blessed to have found Iyengar YogAnanta. Highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic yoga experience and practice. I love coming to the classes each week and see a marked improvement in both my physical and mental health. Thank you Nehal and Niren for creating such a fantastic space!

I've been taking Iyengar yoga classes with Niran for a year now and my frozen shoulder is healed, my posture improved, and I learned to do handstand and enjoy it. I'd recommend this yoga studio to anyone who wants to improve overall health and develop body and self awareness, as yoga is meant to do.

Highly recommended . Niren sir and Nehal mam are warmhearted , always being helpful to me . I practice with them online class , Niren Sir teaching is just amazing , he explains each asana at very depth . His minute instructions and the way he takes us to the final asana is just excellent.

I have been attending the yoga classes for a few months now and can fully vouch that I have seen a marked difference not just in my physical well being but mental as well. The style of teaching is very informative, adaptable and immersive. I highly recommend YogAnanta!!

This is the feetback review of Yogananta classes with Niren and Nehal. The yoga classes with Niren and Nehal are conducted in their bright home studio, which has a welcoming atmosphere, and is very clean and well equipped. Their compassionate teaching style is dynamic, highly professional and meticulous in maximizing the benefit of each pose. Their teaching emphasizes positioning of the body correctly with awareness of inner intelligence, connecting deeper to the essence and wisdom of the Iyengar - Guruji's method and philosophy. I personally like their solid fundamental foundation of progressive exercises in order to perform the postures correctly. I find each class to be unique and fresh, whether I participate in-person or on Zoom with free recording for a week or Hybrid. I am 76 year old, and I attend Niren and Nehal's classes weekly and find them enriching and beneficial with healing experiences. Yogananta is the best yoga studio in Toronto i have found so far! I would highly recommend it to everyone, irrespective of age or physical conditions. Marie Folprecht

Everything I have ordered from the online shop has been excellent! I love the Unisex Iyengar Yoga shorts so much that I have several pairs. They fit well and allow for movement without constriction, which is very important for rigorous practice. The Artisan Chai Masala is delicious and sugar free. In the morning, I can make a latte with black tea. In the evening, I can leave out the tea to enjoy as a warm, soothing beverage before bedtime. The spices are the real deal and of higher quality than the sugary syrups you find in stores. Orders are shipped right away with tracking info.

Niren and Nehal are truly dedicated and compassionate teachers, deeply committed to their students and to the practice of Iyengar yoga. I came to Niren and Nehal's studio with no prior exposure to Iyengar yoga, and taking their classes quickly became a highlight of my time living in Toronto.

Best Iyengar yoga in Toronto!

Absolutely thrilled with the transformative experience at the Iyengar yoga studio led by Nehal and Nirren. Their unparalleled attention to detail, extensive knowledge, and genuine dedication have truly elevated my entire yoga journey. Grateful beyond words for the positive changes this studio has brought into my life. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching yoga practice.

We have found the right Yoga instructors through Google. As senior retiree couple with no Yoga experience, caring, detail, and patience meant utmost important to us. Furthermore, practicing Yoga correctly as per individual body and spirit are the keys. We are very happy with Nehal and Niren. Great job Nehal. Btw, Niren's humor lighten up the class if not the day.

Very, very transformative experience for me personally. I have upper back / shoulder pain and I really enjoy working with Niren. Come to morning classes if you can, they start your day nicely

Niren and Nehal are truly inspiring yoga instructors who impart knowledge that can be transformative. I have been taking classes with them for a year and a half and in that time I have experienced amazing physical and mental changes. If you are looking to start yoga, or transform your practice, this is where you should start.

My husband and I had been searching for a good yoga class for a long time and we were so lucky to have finally found this amazing yoga studio. It is run by a husband and wife team, Nehal and Niren in their quiet, well-lit North York home. Being senior citizens who had not practised yoga for years, we were understandably nervous when we registered. However, to our relief and pleasant surprise, we found a class just for seniors, where the asanas (poses) were tailored to our needs. There are classes available for many different levels of fitness and proficiency. Nehal is a very patient and encouraging teacher and she explains the asanas clearly and ensures that each student is able to do it, while she demonstrates and guides us. She also creates a warm and friendly environment, mindful of students' different ages and health issues. The asanas are challenging, but she takes care to customize them to each student's level. At the end of each class, all students are rejuvenated and refreshed in mind and body. My husband and I found the classes transformative and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a positive change in their lives!
