OUR STORY
Our studio was born out of much love, connection, community and a long time friendship of two Canadian yogini moms: Loretta O'Leary and Hali Love. This dynamic duo met in Calgary, Alberta in 2007, upon the opening of Yogadown Studios - Founded by Hali Love, but greatly supported by Loretta. While both pregnant the ladies managed to open 3 studio locations, which were sold and supported the Opening of Playa Negra Yoga Center in Costa Rica, where we host our Costa Rica Retreats and Trainings at. which is the home of our second Yoga Barre Studio, and Loretta's space, currently this lovely studio - formerly Hot Yoga Bodies.
