This studio is absolutely phenomenal! It’s so airy and clean, and all you need to bring is a mat (but they do rent them for $2). Nicole is an incredible instructor and I’m so glad to have found this place!

Bright, clean, affordable yoga studio close to my home. The yoga teachers can be a hit or miss - as with any fitness class, there are others better or worse than the other. Not all of them will do adjustments, and others are very fast that it’s sometimes hard to keep up. I’m not a beginner but yoga practice shouldn’t feel rushed. I like going to the early evening ones, especially during the summer when it’s a little bit cool and they light candles all over the studio. It gives it such a relaxing vibe.

The new owner Nicole is awesome, and so are her classes! I've already seen lots of great changes being made. It's a welcoming, calming yoga studio in the neighborhood. My only suggestion will be cleaning - I wish the floor was a bit cleaner. I've seen quite a bit of dust and hair.
