After Your Own Place and Work

A Sanctuary Where City Life Meets Stillness

We are a collective of conscious entrepreneurs, visionaries, and impact-driven thinkers working in tech, AI, and human consciousness. We are driven to create exponential change in the world, and we understand that radical outer impact requires prefound inner mastery.

Our Offering

Why Us

What our guests are saying

Jivana Livings is a much needed intiative in the urban setting.
The space is tranquil and beautifully designed, offering a real sense of calm. It feels more personal than going to a large yoga ashram, which makes the experience especially meaningful. The owner is very thoughtful and attentive, creating an environment that feels welcoming and restorative. Highly recommended.
- Ned Nedialkov
Jivana offers the opportunity for people in the urban core to come together and learn about yogic philoshophies of living.
The community is supportive, and the classes and services are intentionally designed to nurture both mind and body as a collective. A great spot for those with an open mind and curiosity to try something new and retreat in the city.
- Thanuja Vmoorthy
I really felt at peace with the meditations.
The musicians with their chants and songs touched my inner being.
- Patricio Minchala
A peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the city.
From the moment you step inside, the energy feels grounding and calm. It is a supportive space where anyone, wether new to practice or experienced can feel at home. Truly a place for healing, learning and reconnecting with yourself.
- Darcy Swiatek
Amazing yoga class, such a warm an inviting team.
A really unique place to visit, eat, stay and practice yoga
- Diana Pylypenko

Blayne Kumar  (Bala Krsna)
I'm the Founder of Jivana Living. I believe each of us arrives here with a purpose—something calling us forward. In today's world, that truth gets buried under noise, distraction, and hustle.
I consider myself lucky.
My ancestors journeyed from India generations ago, and through their guidance, I found my dharma: to create a space that brings ancient wisdom back to life—not as a trend, but as a daily practice.
Before Jivana, I built one of Canada's leading immigration firms and a software company. Both were grounded in trust, transparency, compassion, and love—the same values my ancestors were often denied.
That work taught me what belonging actually means. Now, it fuels something deeper: building Jivana into a sanctuary where people can practice peace, not just talk about it.
A model others can mirror across the world.I'm inviting you into this.
Not as a customer—as part of it.Together, we can bring this to life.
Gladys Paz
I’m the living example of Jivana’s existence. I live downtown Toronto—classic city lifestyle, chasing & achieving goals, feeling pressure, and looking for ways to relax, release stress, and connect. Sometimes I feel the need to escape into nature, feel the sun, and experience something deeper. Jivana inspired me because it’s exactly what I needed in the city: a place to let go, drop my shield, and feel alive. It’s where I can reset from stress, reflect on my path, and find the peace I get from retreats or nature. That’s why I’ve chosen to serve here and help bring this place to life for others—through social media, communications, sales, events, and more. I can authentically share Jivana and invite others to come, have their own experiences, and share their gifts with us.
Dima Polyakaz
Also known as Atmaswaroopa. Yoga has been part of my life for many years, shaping both my personal journey and my work at Jivana. I practice and teach yoga, and I also offer Thai Yoga Therapy massages .For me, Jivana is more than a place—it is an Urban Ashram, a space where the everyday rhythm of city life meets the depth of spiritual practice. Through yoga, meditation, healthy cooking, and community, I try to live and share this balance between the material and the spiritual, the outer and the inner.

Yoga beyond the Mat!
