About Our Facilities
Ottawa Yoga Studio Rentals
Finding the right space to teach yoga in Ottawa shouldn’t be complicated. At DQ Ballroom & Fitness, we offer professional studio rentals by the hour — giving you a calm, welcoming environment for your students without the cost and commitment of a permanent lease.
Whether you lead an intimate restorative class for eight or run a large weekend workshop for forty, we have a space that fits.
The Small Studio
Our most popular space for yoga teachers. At 650 sq ft with a mirrored wall and quality wooden floor, it’s a focused, professional environment that lets you give your full attention to your students — and lets your students give their full attention to their practice.
Capacity

What’s included
- 650 sq ft studio with quality wooden floor
- Mirrored wall — helpful for alignment cues and demonstration
- Sound system — connect your phone or device for music or guided audio
- Standard overhead lighting

A note on props and mats
We have a small supply of mats and yoga blocks on site that teachers are welcome to use as backup. We recommend that students bring their own mats. For recurring teachers, we’re happy to discuss on-site storage for your props — just ask when you get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which space is right for my yoga class?
For most regular yoga classes of up to 15 students, the small studio is the right fit — it’s intimate, focused, and purpose-sized. For larger classes, workshops, or events, the ballroom works beautifully and the curtain can help create a cosier atmosphere if needed.
Can I store my props at the studio?
For recurring renters, yes — we’re happy to discuss prop storage on site. Get in touch and we’ll find a practical solution.
Do students need to bring their own mats?
Yes — we recommend all students bring their own mats. We have a small supply of mats and blocks on site for emergencies, but not enough to equip a full class.
Can I book the same time slot every week?
Yes. Many of our yoga teachers hold a regular weekly slot. Contact us to check availability and set up a recurring booking.
Can I run a large workshop in the small studio?
If your workshop has more than 15 participants, we’d recommend the ballroom. It’s well suited to larger groups and has a curtain to make the space feel more contained if needed.
