Welcome to The Hummingbird Field
We are a heart-based, community driven gathering space offering mindful movement and meditation, infused with the vibrational frequency of joy, kindness, freedom, playfulness, and creativity.
We are pleased to have you join us.
If this is your first time at our studio, please read the following to get a feel of who we are and what to expect…
Before coming in…
Make your first day at The Hummingbird Field easeful by creating an account in advance, and signing up for your first class (FYI drop-in spaces are usually available in warmer months, but the crisper/colder times of year spots fill up fast which is why we suggest creating the habit out of the gate of registering early).
Get started:
- Create an Account
- Browse Class Types
- Register for class (we recommend starting with our classic “Hummingbird Hatha” class). When you select a class, you will be prompted to purchase a pass. FYI: all new students may enjoy an $80 Intro Month; 30 Days of Unlimited Classes (= $2.67 per day, less than 3 drop-ins) This pass does not need to be purchased on your first visit if you’d rather save it for a better time, and will activate upon first use (not date of purchase).
What do I need to know/bring for my first class?
The studio opens 30 minutes before class, and closes 30 minutes after class (unless there are back to back classes)
Wear light, breathable, moisture-wicking clothing that moves with you and does not restrict movement. Think soft, stretchy, and easy to sweat in. A headband may be helpful to keep hair off your face and sweat out of your eyes.
- a yoga mat, and a glass jar/stainless steel for water (avoid plastic) and a grippy mat towel (for hot classes).
- a shower towel if you plan to rinse off after a hot class (please keep it quick, or wait until the others have showered if you need to wash your hair).
- we have rentals if you want to try before investing in your own gear, you’re on the go, or in case you have forgotten, we rent yoga mats, practice towel, shower towels, and water jars for $3 each.
- FYI: hot classes are heated at 37 degrees (Hummingbird Hatha & Hummingbird Flow), and please keep in mind the weather can impact overall room temperature. As you practice, you may start to notice drops of sweat on your mat. This will make it harder for you to grip and feel grounded, and depending on the temperature could be quite slippery. We always recommend bringing in a mat towel to soak up sweat and help you grip/feel stable.
- TIP: do not wipe away sweat; sweating is your body’s key mechanism for cooling down, if wipe the sweat away you are trapping the heat inside and you will feel hotter.
- Our warm classes (Yin, Stretch & Surrender, Mindful Pilates, and Vinyasa) are reduced heat at 27 degrees, a towel is optional but not necessary to practice.
What should I expect when I arrive?
- Studio Dog: you may sometimes encounter Sonny, our very gentle and incredibly friendly Northern-Shepherd mix. If you are not interested in him, please ignore him and he will give you your space. If you want to sneak a peek, find us on instagram @thehummingbirdfield.
- Shoes: please always leave your shoes underneath the coat rack (do not wear them in the studio), and we suggest leaving socks in shoes to avoid mix-ups.
- Front Desk: always check-in for your class at our reception upon arrival.
- Change-rooms: we have three change-rooms: Women (Trans Women/Non-Binary/Cis), Men (Trans Men; Non-Binary; Cis), and a private change room for those who need more privacy. Our main change rooms have showers if you need to refresh after class (please keep your shower time to a minimum).
- Zen Den: Before and after class please enjoy hot herbal tea, pick up a musical instrument, read a book, do some colouring, or just sit and be and relax or enjoy a chat with a fellow student.
What do I do when I enter the practice room?
- Stop talking 😉 ; we honour silence in the practice room always (this includes whispering)
- Unplug to recharge. Please do not bring your phone into the practice room, leave it at home, in the car, in your coat, or in the change-room. Help us keep the practice space sacred and distraction-free. If you choose to bring it in, all phones must be turned off in the practice room (no exceptions).
- Please turn your smartwatch to do not disturb.
- Do not wear perfume/cologne/fragrance to class.
- Reference the floor markers to indicate where to put your mat to ensure even space between fellow students.
- If you’re a beginner, please set up closer to the windows (the row by the mirror is the front of the class).
Our Latecomers Policy…
We understand that things happen beyond our control. If you find yourself running behind, please know that class starts and ends on time and we do not allow latecomers to take class in order to create a peaceful sacred space, and in respect for other students and the practice itself.
This means it is possible the front door will be locked if staff are practicing, or if no staff are on duty (like the 6:30am class). We open 30 minutes before class, please plan to arrive early. We take pride in the connections students make before and after class so let yourself find peace and slowness in a world that seems to always be moving far too fast. Hang with us in the zen den, have a cup of tea, pet Sonny, or simply lay down and rest in savasana before class begins. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.
If you have any further questions, drop in for a cup of tea and chat, email us or call us 416-766-YOGA.

Practice stops being something one squeezes in, and becomes a lifestyle shift that touches everything about who you are. It isn’t about doing more.. It’s about a feeling of belonging in a place that makes easier to return to again and again… it’s about removing barriers so practice stays accessible to you. It’s about having a community, a soft place to land, and a place to let go of stress and return to yourself.
Enjoy unlimited access to yoga, mindful pilates, and the joys of connecting and belonging to a community that appreciates and values your contribution.

Energy Exchange
The Hummingbird Field’s Energy Exchange Program is based on the millenia-old practice of barter. Bartering is the direct exchange of goods and/or services for other goods or services that allow for a balance of profit between two parties, but without using money as a medium of exchange. It is the oldest form of commerce, dating back to a time before hard currency even existed, and at THF, it creates highly respected relationships which foster trust and community through such cooperative exchanges.
If bartering calls to you, you too may earn unlimited access to the studio by applying to our Energy Exchange Program. This is an opportunity to deepen your practice by trading four hours a week serving the community via cleaning, working the front desk, or with a special skill (ie. graphic design, music, massage therapy, hair stylist, dental office, Osteo, Chiropractics, massage, Reiki, etc).
We hope you apply and join our community in this very special way alongside 50+ other EEers without whom the studio could not exist. Also worth noting, the vast majority of our teachers, managers, and even our studio director began their yoga journey this way…the experience has been life changing for many.
Energy Exchangers are an integral part of our studio family; their service, passion, and enthusiasm have a lot to do with why our space is so special, warm and welcoming.
In exchange for working one 4-hour shift per week (same day, same time each week) EEers receive unlimited practice, laundry service, complimentary rentals, staff deals on studio events and boutique items, maternity-leave, health holds, unlimited guest passes, and more.
If you to play a role in service to our community in exchange for unlimited practice, and have four hours a week to dedicate, our Energy Exchange program is for you.
The Hiring Process: we prefer to hire students who are familiar with our studio, have practiced here before and enjoyed unlimited access so that you inherently get the value of the exchange and will use your pass. We’ve had the most long term commitments from EEers who have joined the program after experiencing the introductory month and make that pass a pre-requisite to apply. Alternatively, if you’ve Exchanged Energy before at another studio/have a regular practice, we can wave our pre-req. Here are your next steps:
- If you have yet to already, we highly recommend you consider our $80 Intro Month (30 days of unlimited classes) in order to test drive our studio to experience whether our community feels like a good fit for you.
- Apply here at the same time to allow for time to attend an interview, orientation, and training—allowing you to avoid any gaps in your practice before your Energy Exchange begins.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to reading your application and connecting with you soon.
Workplace Wellness Membership Program
As we become more and more aware of how our current public healthcare system is not designed to support life longevity and disease prevention, we come to realize that this responsibility is left in the hands of individual citizens. We know and appreciate that Toronto’s medical staff and hospitals are some of the very best in the world, yet they are part of a system of reactionary medicine that is not sustainable, as it is not addressing our root mental and physical health issues, particularly for our aging population.
We are increasingly hearing news stories of how medical and educational professionals are discovering the holistic health benefits that come with mindfulness, conscious movement, and meditation. This is where employers not only can play a powerful role in helping to improve the health and productivity of their employees, but contribute to the overall health of our immediate community, and our society at large.
With The Hummingbird Field’s Workplace Wellness Membership Plan, we can help to enhance not only the quality of life and health of your employees, but also help improve their job performance and create more appreciation for their employment in general.
Offering: unlimited classes, (vinyasa, hatha, flow, yin, restorative), Pilates, and mindfulness meditation, and community.
Some benefits of a regular mindfulness, movement, and meditation practice include:
- improves posture
- relief of chronic pain
- benefits of deep detoxification
- heightens immune and digestive systems
- supports cardiovascular wellness and rehabilitation
- strengthens and tones muscular system
- support for grief and loss
- decreases anxiety and depression
- inspires joy and contentment
- mood enhancing
- focus and concentration
- increase in confidence, and self-esteem
- increases productivity
- sense of community & belonging
50+ Team Members $125 (save $45/month)

FAQ
What is The Hummingbird Field community all about?
Since 2007 it’s been a not-so-secret secret that the classes offered at THF are a type of bait intended to entice people into our space, simply to have them experience the blessed gift of community and friendship.
That friendship can range from a smiling receptionist greeting you as you enter, to the peace you may feel within as you lie on your mat at the end of your class. Our space is designed physically, socially, and energetically to encourage connection, both with self and others.
As for our classes, we strive to deliver a quality experience on the mat, including mindful movement and meditation, accessible to both the experienced and novice student.
What is Hummingbird Hatha/ Hummingbird Flow?
First off, any class with ‘Hummingbird’ in its title (aside from our Hummingbird Meditation) is a heated class, meaning our practice room temperature hovers around 37ºC, with approximately 40% humidity. External weather conditions and the number of students in the practice room can have varying effects on these conditions. If you have yet to practice hot yoga, your first class can feel overwhelming in moments. Refined mental and physical management of practicing in higher heat typically comes with a consistent practice. Students are encouraged move through each class at their own pace, taking rest and water when needed.
Is Hummingbird Hatha a cardio workout?
Very much so, and beginning with deep, conscious breathing. The poses in the Humminbird Hatha sequence are structured to build in intensity with the crescendo peaking at about the halfway mark. The gradual buildup, and the slow wind down, responsibly work with the cardiovascular system to generally challenge it in the safest way.
Do I need to be flexible to take classes?
Have no fear, accessibility is here. If you can get out of bed, consider yourself flexible enough. All our teachers are well-trained to offer instruction that is supportive of all bodies in the room, even in the most challenging of classes.
What should I wear?
Go for comfort. Consider clothing that allows for broad movement, yet it’s best to avoid baggy, heavy fabrics that can make your movement cumbersome.
What should I bring?
Bring your body, comfortable exercise clothing, and an open mind. If you forget to bring your own yoga mat, a shower towel and a water bottle, we rent all of the items to help lighten your load.
How long are classes?
While most classes are 60 minutes, a few are 75 minutes, and our Sunday morning 8am class is 90 minutes. Please check class durations carefully if you’re on a tight schedule.
I'm running late for class...
All of us are subject to the unexpected–those happenings that throw us off our schedule and put us behind on our travels. Despite this, we strictly honour our class start and stop times, which means we do not allow latecomers into the practice room once class has begun. Please consider using your devotion to your practice as a possible lifestyle change that brings you to our studio in a calm and timely manner.
Who is Sonny?
Sonny is our resident studio dog. He’s possibly a husky/shepherd mix who fits beautifully into our community, with a very friendly and calm demeanor. Although Sonny is very affectionate, if he approaches you and you’re not interested in connecting with him, putting your hand up in a Stop Sign formation is a clear message for him to keep his distance from you.
