The Yoga Effect opens second Essex County location in Amherstburg

The Yoga Effect opened its second Essex County location last Saturday afternoon as Mayor Michael Prue cut the ribbon at their location at 134 Richmond St. in Amherstburg. The mural was painted by Amherstburg artist Dylan White. The Yoga Effect’s other location is on Sprucewood Ave. in LaSalle.

A new yoga and pilates studio has opened in Amherstburg. 

The Yoga Effect has opened its doors at 134 Richmond St., the second location for owner Tanya Laliberte and her husband Wayne. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held June 21 in Amherstburg. Tanya touted the importance of moving one’s body and being healthy.

“There are a lot of instructors,” she said, noting there are 35 instructors with The Yoga Effect. 

“Not every instructor is for everyone,” added Tanya. “I hope you find your instructor.”

Calling Amherstburg “a beautiful community,” Tanya added they are happy to open their second location in the community. 

Their first location is in LaSalle, at 1775 Sprucewood Ave., near Malden Road.

“We’re hoping to create memories here (in Amherstburg),” she stated. “I love Amherstburg.”

The new location is close to Amherstburg’s downtown core, Tanya said, and that is part of what they like about it. 

In addition to yoga and pilates, The Yoga Effect also offers some weight training.

“We’re constantly adding classes as attendance picks up,” she said.

Mayor Michael Prue thanked the Lalibertes for having faith in the community and choosing to come to town. He said he is regularly cutting ribbons at new businesses.

“They keep coming,” said Prue.

Prue urged the crowd at the grand opening to “please avail yourself of this new facility. Please get healthy.”
