Riverside Walks & Doors Open Toronto Recap
Last weekend (May 28-29) for Doors Open Toronto in Riverside, hundreds of people came out to experience the neighbourhood as part of six “Riverside ‘Looking Back While Moving Forward’ Walks”. The Ralph Thornton Centre was as an official Doors Open location which provided guided tours all day Saturday, and Royal Canadian Curling Club (RCCC) members stepped up to open their doors and welcome folks to help them celebrate their 125th anniversary!!!
Riverside Walks were led by Megan and Share Sheppard of Team Sheppard Re/MAX Hallmark, and by Historical Aficinado Ron Fletcher, with special anecdotes on The Royal Canadian Curling Club’s history by Barry Slater. The neighbourhood was buzzing with over 250 people on walks over the weekend, and many exploring the neighbourhood for the first time!Big thanks to Doors Open Toronto and the participating venues, for their partnerships on these walks, and also to Team Sheppard for their sponsorship of the Riverside Walks 2016 series.

Welcome to Riverside’s The Chi Junky Studio 

A private yoga studio with classes of no more than 6 people & full service wellness concierge

“Chi Junky is the first yoga studio of its kind in Toronto and also offers a host of wellness services. Wintzen wants it to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all of your wellness needs. Chi Junky is pristine, elegant and luxurious.”

           – BlogTO

“Chi Junky offers small, custom classes with no more than six people to suit a client’s specific needs. Every detail (mats, water, organic tea, towels) is taken care of, all a client has to do is show up.”

           – Globe & Mail

You are invited to Toronto’s first yoga studio of it’s kind, conveniently located in Riverside. With a cap of 6 people per class, Chi Junky can guarantee a personalized experience with the freedom to speak up when something doesn’t feel right. This allows you to receive hands on guidance and explanation. Customize your class on the days you need to sit mindfully or the days you really need to get the chi (pronounced ‘chee’, means energy) flowing through a vinyasa flow class.

All classes include complimentary Jade Yoga mats, props, towels, alkaline water and organic tea service. Chi Junky also offers customized detoxes, cleanses, holistic nutrition consultations and personal training.

It’s essential that every service is tailored to the individual. It is what we pride ourselves on, as every BODY is unique so should be your experience at the Chi Junky studio.

Tucked away on a quiet McGee Street in Riverside, Toronto, Chi Junky is a space of healing not judgment, with low traffic at all times. A quiet space that feels like a home away from home, where everyone is part of a community and has a name, not just another mat squeezed into the room. Come experience yoga on our patio deck under the tree tops or SUP yoga down at the beach.

“In addition to Chi Junky‘s intimate and comfortable classes, which tailor to a range of fitness and levels, they have been incredible members of the community, participating in many Riverside initiatives throughout the year.” -Anjuli Solanki, Chi Junky Studio Member

We want you to join the Chi Junky Community! For the month of June take a class at the studio, like it get $50 off any of your class packages.
