Our Studio

The Hudson Yoga studio is in the iconic Hudson Bay building on Douglas Street, in one of the most eclectic parts of Victoria. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, our studio provides an oasis of tranquility within an inspiring and welcoming community. Our space was built with health of the mind and body at its core, and is designed to allow you to light your life in all ways possible. Experience the difference with Hudson Yoga. Classes include Hudson Hot 90, Hudson Hot 60, Yin, Flow and a variety of special community events throughout the year.

Easy To Access & Free Parking

We're happy to provide our members with 2 hours of free parking in front of the studio on our Hudson Walk Causeway, underground off of Herald St, and in the Blanshard St parkade.. There is also free parking after 6pm and on weekends on the surrounding streets. The Hudson has plenty of bicycle parking out front, and we are close to all of the major bus lines, making public transport very accessible. Please ask us if you have any questions.

Water is Life

Water is life. It is pure, provides balance and is crucial for optimum human performance. Our water is first filtered—removing sediment, chemicals, and impurities—and then ionized for optimal PH balance. Sodas and even bottled water can be highly acidic, and bodies prone to a high acidic levels are also more prone to disease and illness. Ionized water is brought back to balance, allowing you to fully absorb the healthiest and cleanest water possible. It's just another way we can ensure you maximize your health and your experience at Hudson Yoga.

Natural Cork Flooring

Our practice room floor is a natural cork product, reducing impact on the feet, knees and spine, and providing a comfortable surface for standing or laying down. Cork is one of the most environmentally friendly resources available and is naturally antibacterial. Our practice room is clearly marked with lines to guide mat placement, making sure you and your fellow yogis have ample room to stretch out.

Heat & Air

Our practice room is packed with radiant heat panels, an environmentally friendly, efficient, silent, and clean way of bringing our yoga classes to optimal temperature. These panels will cut our power consumption by 30-50 percent! Our lighting is naturally soft and gentle on the eyes. Looking up at the ceiling you'll get a sense of looking up at the night's sky, and the remainder of the studio is painted in soothing earth tones and is completely VOC free. Finally, our air system designed to optimize oxygen and humidity levels for best human performance.

Retail, Rentals, and Added Services

We're set up for your pre- and post-yoga experience with Vega nutritional products to help you prepare for, sustain during, and recover after class. We have a dedicated area to hang and spray down your yoga mats. Hudson Yoga uses natural antibacterial products like tea tree oil and Benefect spray, leaving your mat clean, cared for, and smelling great. If you need a mat and towel, we also rent upon request.

Showers & Amenities

We have large, energizing, ionized-water showers in both the men's and women's change rooms. Our spacious, spa-like change rooms, with ambient music and soft light, are complete with wallet-size lockers and hair dryers for your convenience. For the comfort and privacy of our members, we ask that cell phones be turned off while in the change area.

The Selected Materials

We wanted to keep every aspect of our space as natural feeling as possible. We applied grass wallpaper, harnessed abundant natural light, used ionized PH balanced water throughout the studio, and have adorned the space with wood, concrete and plant life to create a serene atmosphere. We're sure you'll feel rejuvenated from the moment you step through our doors.

Practicing With Us

We offer over 40 Bikram-inspired hot, flow, and yin yoga classes every week. We intend to help you meet your goals of a healthy mind, body and spirit. Our classes start early and go late into the evening on a daily basis, giving you plenty of opportunity to practice every day.

Our Studio

Our studio is a brand new facility, purpose-built with your comfort and yoga practice in mind. Situated on the west side of the Hudson Bay building, we are in downtown Victoria, just steps away from Chinatown, with easy transit access.

The home of Hudson Yoga is part of a growing development known as Hudson Walk, which is part of a vibrant residential-commercial neighbourhood. The original Hudson Bay building was built from concrete and steel between 1912 and 1921. The commitment to excellence that this building exudes mirrors our own philosophy.

When you step into the space you will see how the natural elements and abundant natural light provide comfort and soul, while the original concrete speaks to historic elements of both the building and the practice itself.
