Ever since I discovered the Chi Junky Yoga and Wellness Studio in 2017 I’ve experienced the phenomenal benefits that a regular practice has on the mind, body and soul. And then it became something more; a place to connect with others; a place where I felt immediately welcome and comfortable no matter my skill level; a place where I could lose myself in the music, the poses, and the energy of the instructors. So when the studio was forced to halt in-person classes during the pandemic I was heartbroken. As a health care worker my schedule became increasingly stressful and overwhelming, and the lack of physical activity was affecting my energy levels and morale. With the launch of the online classes I was able to find a piece of myself again. The instructors are welcoming and engaged, the playlists are motivating and uplifting, and I have the flexibility to fit classes around my schedule. I’m so grateful that Chi Junky has pivoted to online classes and I’ve recommended them to all of my friends and colleagues.

“Chi Junky’s on-line classes have been my one bright spot and support during these crazy times. I created my own “Zen Den” with my crystals, palo santo and mat opened up at all times, to make it easy to get on the mat. My private sanctuary.   

I look forward to seeing my favourite instructors and flowing to their awesome playlists. This is what sets this studio apart from all others, and I love their music and  literally listen to them on Spotify all day long. My weekly go to’s have been yin and chill w the wonderful Ella, Zen vibes w the super awesome Stephanie or angel Jennifer, and Slay and Stretch. I try not to guilt myself into doing more than that these days, but I do look forward to more slow flows and Pilates. During this past year, there was little I felt I could control or rely on, but Chi Junky was the one constant that I could. They were always there for me, and I could feel the community’s hug, warmth and support, virtually thru my screen. There were days I literally just lay on my mat and cry, while the class went on, but I felt safe and embraced at the end. I know there are so many choices out there for on-line practice, it becomes overwhelming. But Chi is my safe haven, my family, my home. I am forever grateful to Rachelle for this forum she has created and the community that embraces it! xoxo”

As usual, I am moved and inspired by your passion, drive, and leadership. Your ability to maintain optimism and momentum even in the face of pandemic and health related adversity is nothing short of admirable. Thank you for being a beacon of light in an otherwise dark year, and for fostering and nurturing the community that I have come to call home. The amazing group of people who show up to teach and to practice are a reflection of the space you've built and the vision that began with you, and I couldn't be more pleased to have landed there amongst them. 
I came for the online yoga, and I discovered the most amazing community I never knew I needed! The teachers are the most caring, inclusive, and intuitive guides, providing thoughtful and challenging sequences with modifications for all skill levels. Recorded in the gorgeous Chi Studio, combined with great playlists and many class styles, this is the closest you can get to a studio class without physically being in studio. I cannot recommend Chi Junky highly enough. It's more than just a yoga studio. It's home.
