Parking

For those inquiring about parking, we would like to direct you to the parking lot at the corner of Bank St. and McLeod, which is exactly 1 block from the Rama Lotus Yoga Centre - please note that there is an attendant there only during the weekday until 5pm, and a machine for weekends & evenings ($3 flat rate for these times). Of course there are still many free and metered parking spots along the surrounding streets in the area, as well as 3 bike racks for those who prefer to bike. We kindly ask that our students do not park directly across the street in the private parking spaces, nor in the Hulse, Playfair & McGarry Funeral Home parking spaces either. Many Thanks!
