The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF), the National Government of the Red River Métis, and the ownership of Yoga Public have announced the reopening of ‘Canada’s largest yoga studio’ at 280 Fort Street, an MMF-owned building in downtown Winnipeg, this September.

The MMF’s priority to actively revitalize downtown Winnipeg, coupled with the determination of Ida Albo, owner of Yoga Public and managing partner of the Fort Garry Hotel, has led to the studio coming back to serve Winnipeg’s yoga community.

When it first opened its studio in 2012, Yoga Public was and now returns as ‘Canada’s largest yoga playground,’ spanning over 16,000 square feet with a sleek, modern design that maintains the warmth and community that Yoga Public is known for.

“Yoga Public was more than a place to practice yoga – it was a space where people found deeper connections with themselves and others,” says Albo. “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to a place that feels like home – a place to practice, to grow, and to connect.”

The studio returns with a renewed energy and commitment to wellness and will reopen with many of the beloved teachers and classes that members have missed. The schedule will include hot yoga in the Far Infrared heated studio, powerful flows, gentle hatha and restorative yoga, and fresh new offerings in meditation.

“The MMF continues to deliver on its responsibility to do our part to revitalize downtown as the economic heart of the City and Province we helped build, and we are always happy to welcome business partners who are equally invested in our downtown,” said David Chartrand, President of the MMF. “I invited businesses to unite with us at last month’s announcement highlighting our most recent large-scale investment in downtown Winnipeg. I commend Ida Albo, a renowned business leader, for heeding the call and working with us to reopen Yoga Public, bringing more people to downtown with a premium wellness offering.”

Yoga Public officially opens September 14, 2024. For more information visit www.yogapublic.ca.
