Small-group yoga classes in Westboro, Ottawa
If you're looking to slow down and allow your nervous system to soften or want to explore moving your body in new and interesting ways, our group classes are designed to support you at every chapter of your life.
What it's like here
Beginners welcome. No flexibility required. Options are always offered.
At Tree Top Yoga Westboro, we create an environment that feels welcoming and supportive. We offer group classes with a maximum of 10 students, allowing for personalized attention in every session.
The studio sits on the top floor of an old Westboro home with plenty of character. It was once an art studio, and the wood-panelled space has that warm, tucked-away feeling you don't usually find in the city. You can still spot little splotches of paint on the walls from its former life.
Look out the windows and you're right up in the treetops, with views stretching toward the horizon. That's how Tree Top Yoga got its name.

My classes are less about performing yoga poses and more about learning how to be in your body while you move.
We slow things down enough that you can actually feel what you’re doing, notice what your body is asking for and navigate from there. There’s no pressure to force yourself into a shape or keep up with the person beside you.
Depending on the class, we might work with strength, mobility, balance, longer holds, breath or deep intentional rest but the through-line is always the same: presence over performance.
You don’t need to be flexible, experienced, or “good at yoga.” You just need to show up as you are.

A slow, feel-good flow focused on creating more space through the hips, shoulders, chest and spine. Expect a mix of fluid movement, strength and longer holds that leave you feeling open and grounded.

interested in yoga classes?
This is the place to be to know what I'm up to and how to work with me. I like to keep it pretty minimal. If you ever feel like replying back, please do. I'd love to hear from you! You are of course, so welcome to unsubscribe at any time.
Yay!! You're signing up to receive emails from me, Naomi Elder.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Of course. You do not need to have any yoga experience before coming to class.
I keep the classes small, so there’s lots of room to ask questions, take your time, and figure out what works for your body as you go.
You definitely do not need to know all the poses or be flexible. You can just come in and start where you are.
Let me know before class if there’s anything going on in your body that I should know about. I can usually offer options and modifications so you can find a version of the practice that works for you.
If you have more complex needs, are recovering from an injury, or would feel more comfortable getting some one-on-one support first, a private yoga session may be a better place to start.
Not at all. Flexibility isn’t a prerequisite for yoga, and there’s no expectation that your body needs to look a certain way in a pose.
In fact, this is one of the biggest misconceptions about yoga and it stops a lot of people from trying when it really doesn’t need to.
You’ll always be encouraged to work within a range that feels supportive for your body.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bring anything you like to have with you for practice. Mats and yoga props are available at the studio if you need them.
Please remember that Tree Top Yoga is a perfume and scent-free space, so avoid wearing scented products to class.

If you’re looking for the gentlest place to begin, Yin Yoga is a great option. It’s quiet, floor-based and physically less demanding.
If you’d like more movement, Mobility + Slow Flow and Hips + Heart are both intentionally unhurried and beginner-friendly. You can also reach out if you’re unsure which class would suit you best.
