The Albany Gazette - Karma Yoga Receives 2026 Consumer Choice Award for Yoga Studio in Guelph

Founded by yoga teacher Morgan Story, whose own healing journey sparked a desire to help others, Karma Yoga has grown into a trusted local studio offering classes that support physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. The studio's mission is rooted in making yoga available to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities-creating a space where everyone feels supported, seen, and empowered.

More Than a Practice-A Path to Healing

At Karma Yoga, yoga is not just exercise-it's a path to inner healing and transformation. The studio emphasizes the deeper spiritual and emotional benefits of the practice while honoring the traditions and teachings that guide it.

"Yoga helped me heal in ways I didn't expect," says Morgan Story, Studio Founder. "From the moment I began teaching, I knew this was something I had to share with others. My goal has always been to create a space where people can feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow."

Classes are designed to help participants build strength, flexibility, and mindfulness while also fostering resilience and peace of mind. Whether clients are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an existing practice, Karma Yoga provides a nurturing environment for personal growth and self-discovery.

Accessible, Affordable, and Inclusive

One of the studio's core values is accessibility. Karma Yoga is committed to keeping yoga affordable so that everyone in the Guelph community has the opportunity to benefit from the practice-regardless of financial status, physical ability, or experience level.

"We want yoga to be available to anyone who feels called to it," says Story. "Our pricing, class formats, and teaching styles are all designed to reduce barriers and promote inclusivity."

The studio welcomes students of all backgrounds, and its classes cater to a variety of needs-including gentle yoga, restorative practices, meditation, and more dynamic flows. Instructors are experienced, compassionate, and trained to guide each student with care and respect.

Rooted in Community

Karma Yoga has become more than just a studio-it's a community hub for healing, connection, and support. The studio regularly hosts workshops, wellness events, and special classes that bring people together and foster a sense of belonging.

Its holistic philosophy extends beyond the mat, encouraging mindfulness in everyday life and connection to something greater than ourselves. Karma Yoga is a place where physical movement meets emotional release and spiritual exploration-creating a truly transformative experience for its members.

Recognition that Reflects Impact

Being named a Consumer Choice Award recipient is a reflection of the meaningful impact Karma Yoga has had on the Guelph community. The award is based on independent research, consumer feedback, and market reputation-making it a trusted measure of excellence in the local wellness industry.

"This recognition is deeply meaningful," says Story. "We're so grateful to our community for embracing our mission and helping us grow. Every student who walks through our doors is a part of this journey."

Looking Ahead

As Karma Yoga continues to grow, the studio remains dedicated to its core mission: making yoga and holistic healing accessible to all. With plans to expand its offerings and deepen its impact in the community, the studio is focused on creating lasting, meaningful change-one breath, one class, one connection at a time.
