THE COMMNS

  • We are two sisters who unexpectedly moved home to Saskatoon from Vancouver, through this experience we both lost our purpose. We have always had a passion for wellness, and have seen the direct impact it has had on our lives, our families lives as well as within the community. We still felt like something was missing and we decided to create it. As we explored the fields of Education and Healthcare we still felt like we always came back to this wellness vision that had been constructed in our minds. We both left Saskatoon with the goal of finding what we were meant to do, but we unexpectedly found our way back home and stumbled upon our beautiful space in the heart of Saskatoon. We knew this was it, this was our shot. The Commns was created.

    Common - kom-uhn

    Belonging equally to, or shared alike by two or more or all in question.

    In the fast-paced world of today, we wanted to create a space that was a one-stop shop for all things wellness, a collective. This idea has been built with the community of Saskatoon at the forefront. As born and raised Saskatoon girls, we felt that building The Commns would only be right in the place that made us who we are. At the end of the day, we all have something in common, we might just not know it yet. The Commns is a place to discover, search and immerse one's whole self. Wellness can mean so many things and we aim to provide as many outlets to support the health and well-being of Saskatoon through a local curated wellness experience that will challenge the mind and body. The Commns is a community that grows, succeeds, and celebrates together, welcome to The Commns, stay awhile.

  • Welcome to our beautiful, immersive and holistic space located in downtown Saskatoon - in the historical Riversdale area. This is the home of The Commns Wellness Collective. A space that welcomes and celebrates all, is inclusive and community driven. We strive to present an unforgettable local curated wellness experience every time you walk through our doors. A community and team that will be by your side through the non-stop sweating, the ups and the downs, the big and small successes and we will be the first to celebrate YOU. The Commns is imperfect, raw and honest, just like us. Expect the unexpected.

  • We intend to learn, educate, and give back.

  • The Commns welcomes all spaces of wellness under one roof to form our collective. We strive to provide various wellness experiences that speak to one’s mind, body and soul. Every person brings something different to build and grow the collective. Our team, our community, YOU are apart of the collective.

  • THE HEAT | Classes are offered warm and hot @thecommns. Mind–body exercise with heat exposure may induce cardiovascular (Early et al. 2018) and cellular changes by improving blood flow delivery , along with neural benefits and modulation of stress hormones (Bourbeau et al. 2021). Heat exposure draws additional oxygen and nutrients to the skin's surface. As a result, you may benefit from healthier looking skin through skin cell rejuvenation. With Increased blood flow you may see your skin glow with a rosier, healthier complexion. Sweating from hot movement, may help to lessen the stress on your kidneys and colon when it comes to the body’s need to rid itself of toxins (Sircus 2018).

    THE DARK | Most classes @thecommns are offered in an element of darkness. This enhances the mind body balance and places your focus on mind muscle connection. This connection in turn may increase the number of neurons firing which leads to increases in the number of muscle fibers recruited during each contraction leading to improved muscle hypertrophy (Fujita et al. 2020). With the focus on yourself and the physical sensations of your body, this is your escape from the real world to get out of your mind and step into your feels.

    THE OPTIONS | We know you love that endorphin inducing music but on the days it’s too much, feel free to grab a pair of complimentary earplugs at our front desk.
