Yoga, Breathwork & Sound Healing in Toronto’s West End

This is for you.
You want to feel good in your body, calm in your mind, peace in your heart, and free to live in a way that feels good to you. You’re holding a lot — in your mind, your body, your heart, your calendar.
You’re not alone.

You move toward balance by feeling.
The heaviness, the pressure, the memories, the pain — they start to soften, shift, and break down.

Through detox yoga, yin yoga, sound healing, and somatic breathwork, you begin to release. And the more you return, the more your system remembers how to rest.
Relax to release. Learn through experience. Feel the transformation.

At Safe & Sound Yoga, Alex, Paola, and Kelly, guide you back to balance through practices that regulate the nervous system — rooted in love, breath, and lived experience.

We offer practices in the heart of Toronto’s West End — Liberty Village, Queen West, Roncesvalles, and beyond — with programs, retreats, and trainings designed to bring you back to yourself.

Our classes and events help you regulate stress, reduce pain, and reconnect to what’s real.

Come as you are.
Leave feeling Safe & Sound.

How We Serve: Core Healing Modalities

Yoga Experiences

From Yin to to Detox to Hatha inspired movement, breath work and stillness — our classes, workshops, and retreats (in Ontario and abroad) are rooted in breath, body, and nervous system awareness. We guide from a place of presence, always holding space for deep rest and inner connection.

Sound Healing

Sound healing is woven into all of our offerings — from classes and trainings to retreats and events. Using crystal bowls, chimes, and low-frequency vibration, we support nervous system regulation and emotional release. This work is ancient and increasingly backed by modern science.




Training Programs

The yoga of a thousand years ago is the same yoga we practice today. Our Yoga Alliance-certified Continuing Education programs honor the roots of yoga with deep reverence, while integrating somatics, sound, and nervous system science. We learn through experience — together.

With a background in meditation, movement, and set design, she supports the Safe & Sound community both behind the scenes and in ceremony. All of the photography on this site is her work — a reflection of her eye for beauty, energy, and truth. Known for her warmth and sensitivity, Paola weaves heart, artistry, and intention into every offering — creating space where others feel safe, seen, and deeply supported.
