Who we are

We’re Judy & Nadine.

We met on yoga training in India back in 2016 and have been friends ever since. We shared a dream of opening a studio in Bow, and building a community in our own neighbourhood.

Fast forward (through location hunting, business plans and building delays) and we finally opened in January 2020. Right in time for the global pandemic. It’s been a ride.

But we made it. And Ánimo is everything we hoped it would be. A place where everyone is welcome, a place that encourages movement, mindfulness and connection.

Join us for a class, try a self-care ritual workshop or pop in to browse the store. We can’t wait to meet you.
