“I discovered Better Balance yoga when I was finishing up my time at Queen's University, and I will forever be grateful. The space is absolutely beautiful and helped me develop a true love and passion for yoga. Each time I stepped on the mat, with whichever instructor guiding me (they are all lovely individuals), I felt safe and supported in taking care of my mental and physical wellness. The studio and space are so calming and provided me with principles I will take with me off my mat forever. I highly recommend this studio; it will change your life for the better.”Read moreShow less

“I'm so glad that Better Balance is in my neighbourhood! This company is housed in a beautiful limestone building where Go Green Baby used to be. The owner and operator of Better Balance is Alana Hamelin. I was delighted with the introductory classes I attended. She's a compassionate, creative, and exemplary yoga teacher, clearly teaching with sensitivity to the needs of practitioners. It was obvious from the sessions that I've attended so far that her wisdom and considerable knowledge about physiology and the body is distilled in her instruction. I highly recommend both the place and the teacher!”Read moreShow less

“I recently joined Better Balance Wellness and have been trying out the various yoga classes, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Each of the teachers brings a unique approach and the variety of class types has been a great way to give my body what it needs. The studio is very clean and thoughtfully laid out, I like that I don’t need to bring all of my own gear to each class. I am very happy to have this studio in my neighbourhood!”Read moreShow less

“You’ll find a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere here! Better Balance has an excellent variety of teachers to help guide your practice. There are a variety of yoga classes that suit everyone. The sound bath, which is available each month, is a very soothing and calming experience! Great prices for classes and monthly memberships as well. Kingston’s best kept secret for yoga!”Read moreShow less

“From the moment I walked through the door, into this fresh and beautifully designed space, I felt comfortable and welcome. Alana and her team are incredibly knowledgeable and generous teachers. The energy in the studio is calming and supportive. Each class leaves me feeling nourished and renewed. Whether a beginner or beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend you stop by for a class. I am so grateful to have found this community.”Read moreShow less

“I can’t recommend Better Balance enough. Alana is not only an incredibly skilled massage therapist, but also brings an amazing depth of knowledge in breath work and psychology that takes each session to a whole new level. Her energy is calm, grounding, and uplifting all at once — you feel safe, understood, and cared for from the moment you walk in. Every touch is intentional, and her ability to read the body and guide the mind makes the experience truly transformative. You leave feeling lighter physically, mentally, and emotionally. A rare talent and a true gift in their field.”Read moreShow less

“To set the baseline, I am in my late 60's and I haven't been the excerise type person most of my life. I felt as I age I better do something to keep limber in a passive way. When Betterbalence added yoga to their massage business, it gave me the opportunity to give it a try as it is a familiar place and I knew the instructor Alana. I started in October learning the moves. Alana, a great instructor, guided me through the sessions. Slowly over a short time I have caught onto the routine and now feeling more accomplished. Prior the joining, I had a pain down the right side of my leg when I walked. After a few months of yoga the pain has now disappeared. I highly recommend Betterbalence.”Read moreShow less
