Yoga Tree extends its branches to Toronto proper

Yoga Tree, the popular Thornhill yoga studio, is making its Toronto debut, launching officially next Thursday at 140 Spadina Avenue. We know, the city already has many sweaty bachelor apartment-size environments in which to downward dog, but Yoga Tree differs in its earth-friendly approach and the sheer variety of its offerings: heated, non-heated, Kripalu, Hatha, restorative and mommy-and-me classes. After successes in Thornhill and Richmond Hill, a now pregnant Debbie Fung, with the help of her co-partner and husband Jason Lu and their families, have brought their brand of yoga to Toronto in an environment complete with zero-toxin paints, cork flooring, energy-efficient lighting, low-flow shower heads, reclaimed wood furnishings and even a no-paper policy—participants have to sign in on a laminated sheet.
