Take a Class: Take a class on our weekly schedule with a variety of instructors, in a variety of styles
Take a Workshop: We are proud to offer space for community workshops, both of the movement variety and not.
Rent The Room: The Move Room is more co-working space than traditional studio. If you have a dream or an idea, we have the space.

Maureen has been an RMT since 2005 and started teaching Pilates in 2018. She started out looking for ways to provide her massage clients with opportunities to connect with their own bodies in a more meaningful way. Her teaching practice has quickly evolved into a neurologically-focused movement re-training, where students get a chance to strengthen the pathways between the brain and the various muscles in the body. It’s all about calling upon the right structure to do the work, and helping to prevent pain and injury in the process!
Rachel’s movement practice is rooted in cultivating resilience in body + mind through progressive challenge. Using a blend of yoga, pilates, and dance aerobics, her goal is to create accessible classes where people can find joy and strength in their bodies. Rachel seeks to find a place where curiosity and playfulness can coexist with radical compassion, thoughtful language, and wild kindness. In general, she believes mindful movement practices can help us reclaim agency over our bodies, tap into our intuition, and smash the patriarchy.
Jo Gale (she/her) believes that anyone can find a joyful movement practice. In a society that uses exercise as a means to "fix" the body, she believes folks should want to move to FEEL their body. Her classes are a playful blend of Pilates, Somatics and Dance Aerobics, which encourage you to move from where you are at, honouring rest and modification as a deeper connection. Through her 9 year journey as a facilitator in the fitness industry, she leads with passion and care, hoping to empower folks to know that STRONG IS NOT A LOOK.
Stephanie began to practice yoga in February of 2015. After 2 years on her mat, she looked to strengthen her personal practice, completing a 200-hour teacher training program at Anjeli Teacher Training with Diana Lockett and Daniel Horgan. Stephanie loves to teach from the heart, guiding in a way that offers both support and encouragement to all students. In Stephanie’s classes you can expect to feel safe, to move at the pace of your breath, to laugh (or cry), to listen to your heart and feel connected to your body, all within the corners of your mat.
Andrea King initially studied yoga with Angeli yoga teacher training for her 200 hour certificate and in 2018 went to San Francisco for 6 weeks to study with international teacher, Jason Crandell to complete her 500hour advanced training. She studied mindfulness and the mindfulness based stress reduction program. She invites fun, creativity and focus to her yoga flows. She will breakdown a pose down to its basics and her flows are planned to build you up and educate you on your body and the practice of yoga. She loves to teach and invites a positive and joyful approach to yoga, usually with a killer playlist. Oh and yes, it was probably a joke so its okay to laugh in class.
Ruth Lewis is the creator of Wild Hearts Fitness Club. Ruth is a personal trainer and Goodbodyfeel Teacher Training Alumni. She has created a wide variety of movement classes over the years, including a hybrid strength training and pilates class "Be Dynamic", and "Leg Day with Ruth"(which was...a leg day....with Ruth ;). Outside of her work in movement/fitness Ruth wears multiple other hats. She is a Real Estate Agent and a Research Assistant at McMaster University. She loves a good dance party.
Dee is the creator behind Pilates Strong Moms, The Postnatal Guide: The Early Days, and Core Reconnect. She is also a Pre + Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist, Personal Trainer, Pilates instructor, Fascial Stretch therapist, teacher trainer, and Mom of two incredibly active and hilarious boys.
She loves empowering Moms, + Moms to be, through movement and hate the societal ideal that we should bounce back. Nothing behind you is ever as good as what is in front of you right now!
The Move Room is a space where facilitators are invited to experiment, take your time and grow your own offerings. You can rent the space with agency to create your own offerings, including the pricing of your offerings.
At the Move Room we operate under an anti-oppressive lens. We will not knowingly host facilitators who do not encompass our values, and the values we think will help support our community. We do not tolerate racism, discrimination, homo/trans-phobia or fat-phobia. At the same time we acknowledge folks are learning, and we give grace and compassion to our humans as we all make mistakes. Conversation Culture > Cancel Culture.
