There are lots of great things about Yoga Santosha, such as their convenient location, their beautifully decorated and peaceful studio, the great vibe, the incredibly friendly staff... but I think the most important reason why I love it is the quality of their instructors.

The staff here are amazing and they offer a good mix of classes and a variety of experiences. From desk staff to the teachers themselves, everyone goes that extra mile and provides a personal touch.

I always feel at home at Santosha and even though I am not the most social person, the slight smiles from other people practising help me feel like I belong and that I'm in the right place.

Such an open and welcoming atmosphere. I have been practicing with Yoga Santosha and its amazing team for over 5 years and the quality of teaching and commitment to students has never waivered. Thank you Santosha. TYLER M

Regardless of what brought you here, there is a way forward ...

And again, we all know, Success doesn't happen by chance. It's practice!

In the nearly 20 years that I’ve known Jeff, I’ve witnessed and experienced him giving, with no expectation of receiving. His example, his energy, his wisdom inspire students to commit—not to him, but to themselves. He has taught me that my “work” is a practice that only I can truly know. It varies from day to day, it differs from that of my neighbour; it involves doing and not doing, searching and not searching, accepting and not accepting; it is simple and complex. Jeff’s messaging never waivers: show up, trust yourself, and do your practice, your work.

Working with Jeff taught me how to reduce my everyday stress levels, navigate trauma, and pursue my goals with more confidence. He gave me the tools to develop a daily practice that works for me, as an individual and in the long term. Rather than preaching dogma or adherence to a strict set of rules, Jeff empowers his students to come home to themselves using the perfect combination of skill, dedication, and humour.

I have worked with Jeff for the past ten years. He has a remarkable and unique ability to create a safe space for people to grow and be the best they can be. He is a connector and a communicator. He inspires learning and makes it fun. Jeff is intuitive, compassionate and wise. He speaks from years of experience integrating Western medical training with Eastern philosophy. If you are in the midst of change, commit to a new perspective and practice and you'll find support on your journey, there is no better guide.

The Buddhist saying goes " When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Jeff is my teacher and I continue to learn from him daily. As a business owner and mother of 3, life never seems to give me enough problems. However, Jeff has shown me the key to resolving my daily stress and anxiety. I am now stronger and more confident that I can handle anything life throws my way. With a caring heart, positive attitude and steady mind, Jeff is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Yoga Teacher Training should come with a warning label: Once you begin, you may never stop. Even more accurately: Once you begin, if you are serious about teaching, do not think about stopping. The truth is, while the profession of yoga teaching has matured to a place where there are hours, credentials, and requirements for continuing education, the art of learning to teach yoga—at its core—was always meant to be a lifelong course of study. In some traditions you would teach when your teacher signified that you were ready, and after that, you would continue to refine your own training, always coming back to study more and to continue to be mentored.


Passage Studios is one of the oldest yoga studios in Calgary, Alberta.


In 2003, we boasted curtains for walls and scrap papers for sign in sheets all under the rickety roof of a Heritage building smack in the middle of Downtown YYC. Fast forward to Fall 2018 — with a little love and hard work, we expanded our space and offerings into the main floor of that Heritage building adding Spin and HIIT workouts to our roster.

The moment you enter these doors, we hope you feel at home. We hope that folks can meander up the stairs to the studio from different backgrounds, with different stories, and feel a sense of belonging and connection here. The community at Passage, from the patrons, to the staff, to the teachers, to the volunteers, are what make this space so special and so sacred. You are so welcome here.

There is a little something for everyone under this rickety roof. It’s a huge operation run lovingly by a few dedicated members of the community. Often referred to as the ‘Cheers’ of movement spaces in Calgary — everyone knows and adores everyone. Come connect to your body, your breath, your pals in the way that best serves you. We’ve got something for you.


Massage therapy should be a pillar of your health and wellness regime. You will be well taken care of in the hands of our skilled and passionate on-site therapists. Relax, and work towards healing and relief.
