Hi, my name is Dorothy Spence and I am the owner of 108Yoga. Coming from an engineering and business background, I was making changes in my own life and wanted to open up a yoga studio. I had an opportunity to experiences yoga studios around North America while I was a business executive and gained insights into what could be provided.

The studio I wanted to create would be open, warm and inviting, making sure that everyone who entered felt comfortable and welcomed. I wanted a place with a sense of community and where people would come and be reminded to make ourselves and our health a priority.

After opening in April, 2009, I am succeeding in creating such a place. We opened our second location in Bayers Road in March, 2012.

As we have grown, we have become clear about what is core in our values and your experience at 108: 

• We believe that breath is central to yoga.  We practice with lots of room for your breath.
• We teach you where you are. Our teachers are specially trained to adapt and modify the class so that you get the maximum benefit.
• We value you.  Your internal experience of yoga is more important than the look or form of a position, and we constantly remind our students to focus and connect inwards with your unique self.
• We teach for everyone.  We design our classes to be accessible to different physical and mental capacities.

We will get to know you, your needs and goals and you will always be able to pause and take a deep breath.
