Yoga In The Center — Attraction in Mill Creek

I've been doing yoga for about 20 years and have worked with multiple studios in Seattle. They all request that students arrive early but in the event that a student is 5 or less minutes behind, I have never seen a staff member or yoga teacher turn a student away. Yoga in the Center however has a very strict on time policy apparently because they turned myself and another student away. I crossed paths with another student on my way to a prenatal class and was informed that they wouldn't let me in. I went upstairs to the studio anyways and the lady that answered the door didn't even greet me all she said was, "the class is closed." Obviously I already knew that at that point and she was making an assumption I was not already aware. I told her I understood but that at this point I wanted to reschedule the class because I prepaid for it. She responded saying that they hadn't charged me yet because I wasn't taking the class. I told her I'd already received a receipt and then she clarified that I would have a credit that I could use for another class. A credit would be fine under normal circumstances but if the prenatal class is only offered two days a week and one of the two days doesn't work and I am close to my due date, then that policy is a bit stringent. The manner in which she was speaking was also very unfriendly and unwelcoming with a condescending tone said, "Coming 5 mins before is best ." The reality is, she doesn't know what the circumstances were which caused me and the other lady to be about 5mins behind. We are late in our 3rd trimester, have families, dealing with pregnancy is hard enough, have a little grace, compassion, flexibility and kindness in your arrival time policy and well as credits or refunds. As much as I wish my world revolved around...

Fantastic! First time going to this yoga studio and I have nothing but awesome things to say about it! Sathya was my yoga instructor for vinyasa at 5:30p.m. This is my first time doing yoga and she had an excellent flow with music that matched very well. I was able to follow all of her moves and she also offered easier or harder options with some of the moves that were very helpful! She also came and helped to correct my poses and also offered the blocks so the moves were easier to maintain. I am so grateful for her expertise and extremely helpful adjustments that allowed me to get the most out of my session.

This studio is extremely clean which was a huge plus for me because I have little bit of OCD in regards to cleanliness in studios.

It was easy to find parking especially underneath where the garage is and it is free. I love the whole atmosphere and the ambiance of this studio. I definitely will be coming back here again with my husband who also took the class with me for moral support. He's more into hot yoga. This was regular vinyasa yoga. Although he was also very impressed. Will be purchasing a full membership when we return on Monday for Sathya's 5:30pm class.

Definitely recommending to family and friends and anybody who is interested in trying out this studio in Mill Creek. Excellent for beginners and I'm sure experts as well.

Thank you...

I have been attending classes at Yoga In The Center for a while now, and I can’t believe the difference it has made in my life! My mobility, strength, and flexibility have all improved so much, and I feel a deeper connection and awareness of my body every time I step on the mat. I feel more grounded, energized, and connected every single day.

I’ve taken just about every class — Gentle Yoga, Slow Flow, Yin, Vin to Yin, Vinyasa, Restorative — and each one offers something unique and uplifting. The atmosphere is welcoming, calming, and supportive whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years.

Every instructor brings great knowledge and such positive energy. They create such a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment that makes showing up easy and enjoyable. I always leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and stronger than when I walked in.

Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to improve their overall health, both physically and mentally and feel more present in your life, this studio is truly the place to...
