Yoga Therapy Toronto

What Yoga Therapy Toronto does

Yoga Therapy Toronto is a private, founder-led yoga therapy studio and training school incorporated in Ontario, Canada, established in 2005 by Felicia Pavlovic and Ante Pavlovic. The company operates from a single physical studio at 692 Bloor St W in Toronto and delivers services rooted in the Krishnamacharya yoga lineage, with the founders having studied annually in Chennai, India since 2004 under TKV Desikachar and senior teachers at Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM). Its core technology is the lineage-based individualized yoga therapy methodology, formalized in the founders' proprietary 584-page 'Classical Yoga Asana' textbook (2019), which integrates traditional yoga philosophy with modern psychology and therapeutic principles and is delivered alongside all training programs.

The business is structured around four revenue streams. The two flagship training programs are a 300+ hour Yoga Teacher Training priced at $4,500 (Yoga Alliance RYS-200 accredited) and a 1,000+ hour Yoga Therapist Training priced at $13,000 (IAYT accredited, C-IAYT eligible), both delivered as multi-month cohort-based programs with installment payment schedules. Complementary revenue comes from one-on-one private yoga therapy sessions at $150-175/hour, recurring group classes on a class pass or membership basis, and short-format continuing education offerings including Restorative Yin training ($650), Ayurveda Level III ($2,500), Yoga Sutra Study ($180), Day of Mindfulness retreats ($175), and Meditation Sanga (by donation). A small digital audio product line (Vedic Chanting, Yoga Nidra, Yoga Sutra Chanting at $25-30) extends distribution online, and the Outreach Program delivers free yoga to underserved populations in partnership with healthcare and social service facilities.

The company serves a diverse individual customer base: general wellness seekers, aspiring yoga teachers, aspiring yoga therapists (often with prior teaching experience), healthcare professionals seeking integrative training, and underserved communities via outreach. Headcount is 1-10, with no external institutional investment, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer at the Toronto studio, supplemented by online Zoom classes with global availability and an e-commerce storefront for audio downloads. Brand credibility rests on lineage authenticity, two-decade operating history, hundreds of trained alumni, and dual Yoga Alliance/IAYT accreditation.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Ananda School of Yoga: Lineage-based (Paramahansa Yogananda) school offering yoga teacher training with an emphasis on classical, traditional methodology; comparable as a smaller studio-based school focused on authentic lineage instruction rather than fitness-oriented yoga.
• Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre: Global organization running traditional ashram-based yoga teacher training programs rooted in the Sivananda lineage; comparable in offering long-form, certification-track teacher training in a traditional Indian yoga lineage.
• Yandara Yoga Institute: Smaller, lineage-influenced yoga teacher training school offering intensive certification programs; comparable in being an independently operated, training-focused yoga school rather than a commercial studio chain.
• Viniyoga America: Organization dedicated to transmitting the Viniyoga/Krishnamacharya lineage (TKV Desikachar) through teacher and therapist training; directly comparable as a lineage-based training organization in the same Krishnamacharya tradition.
• Integral Yoga International: Offers IAYT-affiliated yoga therapy training alongside teacher certification rooted in a traditional lineage (Swami Satchidananda); directly comparable as a smaller, mission-driven school offering accredited therapy and teacher training programs.

Broad incumbents

• YogaWorks: Multi-location yoga studio chain (US-based) with established teacher training programs; comparable in offering yoga teacher training but at significantly larger scale and with broader, more commercial positioning.
• Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health: A long-established yoga and wellness center in Massachusetts offering 200-hour and 300-hour teacher trainings with a therapeutic focus; comparable in combining traditional lineage-based yoga with health/wellness programming and multi-format training.
• Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM): The lineage institution in Chennai, India where the founders trained; KYM offers yoga therapy and teacher training programs rooted in the same Krishnamacharya–Desikachar tradition, making it the most directly comparable lineage-based training center.

Emerging players

• Glo (Yoga, Pilates, Meditation): Subscription-based online platform offering yoga, Pilates, and meditation classes from established teachers; comparable as a complementary digital channel in the yoga/wellness space, though at much broader scale and without lineage-specific accreditation.

Regional players

• Pure Yoga: Premium yoga studio chain primarily in Hong Kong and Singapore offering classes, workshops, and teacher training; comparable as a high-end studio operator but with a broader, fitness-oriented positioning versus Yoga Therapy Toronto's therapeutic lineage focus.
