Yoga in Toronto
City of Toronto yoga classes are the best-value yoga in the city by a wide margin, a studio class runs $25 to $30, and the same hour at a rec centre is under $10. Most centres run general drop-in yoga in a multipurpose room; the pace is beginner-friendly and instructors give modifications freely. The City also runs Yoga: Chair (fully seated, popular with older adults and anyone with mobility limits), Yoga/Pilates Fusion, and a handful of outdoor and yoga-with-baby sessions in the warmer months. Mats are usually available but bring your own if you're particular.
Cost
Free at the City's 38 free community recreation centres. Elsewhere a single class is $10.64, or included in a FitnessTO membership from $33.73 a month, half price for adults 60+ and youth 13-18.

Common questions
Do I need to bring a mat?
Most centres keep a stack of communal mats, but they get worn and there are rarely enough for a full class. Bring your own if you can.
What style of yoga is taught?
Most drop-in sessions are hatha-style, slower paced, held postures, beginner-accessible. Fusion classes blend in Pilates core work. Very few City classes are hot or power yoga.
Is chair yoga suitable if I have limited mobility?
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. Yoga: Chair is done entirely seated or using the chair for support, and is widely used by older adults and people recovering from injury.
