Welcome to the Aura House: A beginner’s guide for what to expect

If you’ve ever stepped foot in a new yoga studio for the first time, you know that that first class can be intimidating. Luckily for you, the teachers and practitioners at The Aura House want to help make that initial visit as easy and comfortable as possible. That’s why we’re providing you with the what, where, who, why, and how of The Aura House so that you can be prepared to step through our doors for the first time (where we will be waiting with big smiles and open arms). 

What

What is The Aura House? It would be easy to call it a yoga studio, but it is much more than that. The Aura House is a multi-modality wellness studio. We offer a variety of holistic wellness services and practices offered under one roof. Yoga, dance, breath work, reiki, meditation—we’ve got it all. The array of mindfulness, movement, and energy-based practice mean there’s something here for everyone, from seasoned practitioners to first-time explorers just looking to dip their toes in the wellness waters. Not to mention, we also have a retail space where you can shop for crystals, candles, handcrafted soaps and essential oil products from local small businesses. 

Where?

We’re located on the third floor of The Old Shoe Factory– a stunning historical building located at 57 Mill Street North in the heart of Downtown Brampton. We’re conveniently located just 20 minutes from Pearson International Airport and steps away from the Brampton GO Train station and Brampton Transit Terminal. We are also very fortunate to have a free parking lot - so no need to stress about ‘downtown’ parking ;)

If you’ve never been to our studio before, we can’t wait for you to visit. This special space provides an atmosphere like no other. Exposed brick walls, wrap around windows— you can even see the splatters of old leather dye on our floors. This building tells a story of the community that we are so excited to continue. 

Who?

The Aura House is about community. From the beginning, the hope for The Aura House has been that it will be more than just a yoga studio, and instead will be embraced by the community as a space for healing, exploration, and reconnection. 

Why?

In February of 2020, the founder of the Aura house—Lisa— scribbled down a few words onto a cue card, without any idea of what those world would blossom into. Within a few months, pieces had fallen into place that formed a beautiful community space, held up and supported by those pillars that she had first written down. 

Unfold | Untold | Unwind | Unassuming | Unashamed | Untethered | Unbound

The Aura House became a place for those words to come to life. Here, we allow our bodies to unfold, tell the stories that have gone untold, give ourselves permission to unwind, and accept others while being unassuming. We embrace who we are and feel unashamed, and let go of old patterns that no longer serve us until we become untethered. All of this we do so that our practices reach far beyond our walls—unbound. It’s a simple concept… yet profound. That is the why of The Aura House. That is the reason we’re here. 

So now you might be wondering…. How? How can you become a part of this community and explore the modalities united under our roof? Simple. Come visit. Try a class. Have a chat with Lisa or any of our wonderful teachers who will be happy to tell you what it is they do. We’ll all be happy to have you.

In fact, we can’t wait to see you.
