Inner Glow Yoga Studio: Bringing Yoga to Angus, Ontario
Last Updated on 7 August, 2026
How a certified instructor filled a gap in her small Ontario community — and chose WellnessLiving to run it from day one.
She Looked Around and Saw the Gap
Amanda Ostapchuk is a certified yoga instructor who spent the past few years deepening her practice and teaching. In that time, she kept noticing the same thing: in Angus, Ontario, the options were limited.
“It’s a very small town… there’s not too many opportunities where I live.”
So she decided to create one. Inner Glow Yoga Studio is Amanda’s answer to that gap — a welcoming yoga home for her community, built around group classes, breathwork, meditation, and private sessions. It is Angus’s new local option for people who want to practice without driving to a larger city.
What Inner Glow Offers
Inner Glow runs a schedule of group yoga classes alongside breathwork and meditation sessions. Private and semi-private appointments are available for students who want personalized instruction. Events and workshops are on the roadmap as the studio grows into its community.
The booking model is self-serve from the start. Clients can browse the class schedule, purchase session passes, and book online without back-and-forth admin work. Every new client signs a digital waiver that attaches directly to their profile. Appointments are managed automatically against instructor availability.
The studio is intentionally small at launch: Amanda and one to two staff, a focused schedule, and a clear path to expand as the community responds. The goal is not to be everything at once. It is to open well and grow from a solid foundation.
Why Amanda Chose WellnessLiving
Inner Glow is Amanda’s first studio. There was no legacy software to migrate, no years of data to carry forward. The decision was about building the right foundation from day one.
She needed a single platform that could handle group class scheduling, session pass purchases, appointment booking, and digital waivers without requiring separate tools. She needed clients to be able to find and book her classes online without calling or emailing. And she needed the booking experience to represent the studio properly — clean, welcoming, and easy to navigate for someone who has never taken a yoga class before.
WellnessLiving gave her all of it in one place. Class schedules, purchase options, appointment categories for private and semi-private sessions, digital waivers stored on each client profile, and a booking flow that runs on its own once the schedule is built.
What Amanda Is Building
Angus is a small town. That is not a limitation to work around — it is the whole point. Amanda is not building a studio for a dense urban market with multiple yoga options on every block. She is building the studio her community did not have.
The clients who come through the door will likely know each other. They may be nervous first-timers who have never tried yoga. They may be people who practiced years ago and are looking for somewhere local to return. All of them will have somewhere to go now.
Amanda saw what was missing and built it. That is what Inner Glow Yoga Studio is.
