Original Hot Yoga is our core class, also known as Bikram yoga, it is a traditional hatha yoga class where every class the same 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises are performed chronologically in a heated room. OHY is an all levels class designed for beginning yoga practitioners.

Reformer Pilates is a low impact, full body workout done using a Pilates reformer machine. The Pilates reformer looks like a bed frame with a carriage on wheels that roll up and down and you perform the moves. Our Reformer Pilates small group classes have a maximum of 6 students, giving you ample opportunity for individual attention.

All Reformer Pilates classes are 50 min and done in a room temperature room.

We have Original Hot Yoga 60, 75 or 90 minutes, Flow, Hot Mat Pilates and Yin. We also offer Pilates Reformer classes in our second studio space next door. You can see our full class descriptions here.

At our newest studio location in Fernwood we have non heated yoga, pilates sculpt and barre classes.

There are showers and change rooms available at our downtown location for both the hot classes and reformer pilates.

Our Fernwood location does not have showers or change rooms. There is one gender neutral washroom available, please come dressed and ready to practice if possible :)

At our hot downtown studio our class temperatures and humidity vary with Original Hot Yoga being the hottest, at around 40 degrees celsius and Yin yoga being the coolest at around 30 degrees celsius.

Less than you think, and it needs to stay put.

The room runs at 40°C and 60% humidity. You will sweat more than you expect. Most people practise in shorts or leggings with a fitted top or bra top.

Two things to check before you come:

Coverage that holds through movement. You'll be inverted, folded, and wide-legged, on a mat close to other people. Whatever you wear needs to cover you fully in every one of those positions and stay covered when you're wet. Loose leg openings, open flies, and anything that shifts or goes sheer when soaked won't work.

Absolutely. If you need to leave the room during class you’re welcome to. There are benches right outside the doors. Come back and join in whenever you’re ready.

Most students see the benefits of a regular practice with at least 2-3 classes per week.

For yoga, barre and mat pilates classes, bring a yoga mat, large towel (for hot yoga and hot pilates only, big enough to cover most of your mat), and water. Don’t worry if you forget something, we rent and sell these items. We have women’s, men’s and a private universal change room that include showers and washrooms.

For reformer pilates classes, grippy socks are required. Bring them if you have them or purchase in studio.

Particularly for the hot classes: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Aim to drink an additional liter of water the day before your first class. Avoid heavy meals or drinking lots of liquids in the 2-3 hours before class. A light snack an hour before is great.

For all classes, plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before class to get a quick orientation and get yourself set up. Expect to stay for the duration of class.

For yoga and hot pilates bring a yoga mat and a towel to cover the entire length of your mat.

For reformer pilates bring grippy socks or purchase in studio.

All classes start precisely on time and latecomers are not admitted. Give yourself ample time to arrive and find parking before class.

Yes! At our downtown location there is free 2 hour underground parking (for the Public Market) along the carriage way between Herald and Fisgard. The garage is open from 7am - 9pm. There is a second parking garage nearby with free two hour parking under the Hudson House off of Herald. There is also metered parking within several blocks.

At the Fernwood location there is 2 hour street parking.

Easy, take your mat with you when you leave the hot room and spray it down with the provided disinfecting mat spray. Rental mats can then be hung on the racks. Most students roll up their personal mats and then hang them at home. The mat towel will absorb a lot of the sweat and keep your mat cleaner.

You must be 16 years or older to practice in the heat at Quantum. Under 16 is allowed on a case by case basis. Send us an email, call or inquire at front desk.

Reserve your classes on our booking page or using our app to guarantee a spot. Weekend and evening classes tend to fill up. Walk ins are welcome as space allows.

Downtown Hot & Fernwood Hub
There's no late cancellation fee. Cancel any time up to 10 minutes before class starts and your class won't be deducted — even if it's last minute. Please do cancel if you can't make it, so someone else gets the mat.

If you do not cancel and have a class pack or a drop in the class will be deducted from your pack.

Reformer Pilates
With only a handful of spots, a missed reservation is harder to fill. Reformer has a 12-hour cancellation window. Late cancellations and no-shows are deducted as a class from your membership, or charged $25 to the card on file.

We ask all of our students to please stay home if you’re experiencing any symptoms of illness, including sore throat, cough, runny nose etc.

Use the change room where you feel most comfortable. All gender identities and expressions belong here.

In addition, in our downtown hot studio we have a gender neutral bathroom with shower available upstairs in our main studio space.

At the Fernwood studio there is one universal washroom / change room for all students. Please come ready to practice if possible.

Quantum Yoga & Pilates is in the historic Hudson building, located on the back, along the carriageway between Fisgard and Harold. The Reformer Pilates studio space is directly next door to the Quantum hot yoga studio and has it’s own entrance.

We have an additional yoga studio location in Fernwood, 2 km away from our hot studio at 1310 Gladstone Ave.
