As a 7 year practitioner and certified yoga instructor (not via speakeasy) picking Speakeasy Studio as my home was an easy choice to make. Class is organized, starts and ends on time, and the space is immaculate. Speakeasy is always improving the client experience and their space, which is appreciated! Not only is the space wonderful, the most important part, the practice, is exceptional. Flows always make sense, no matter which style class you attend. Alternative poses are provided for all levels. Additionally, the right breath to body connection is vital to achieve the most benefit from yoga and all the instructors will cue breath at the precise time throughout class, keeping you on track. This isn't easy to do for most yoga teachers and something that may go undetected by beginning yogi's. Highly recommend Speakeasy for a well rounded studio. Regardless of your individual beliefs Speakeasy is putting the client first with health & safety as a top priority - again,...
Read moreI've been an intermittent patron at this studio since 2016 and I've always enjoyed the experience it has provided. Tori is a very organized, professional and kind owner/instructor who is very keen on helping those within the community, whether they practice yoga or not.

If you're seeking a hip, well-designed and modern environment for a yoga studio with a well-organized staff and refreshingly original concepts/accommodations I encourage you to check out...
Read moreThis place is beautiful. I liked the class I went to which was strong. I love teacher. She is one of my Dayton yoga faves. However that particular class didn't challenge me like she usually does. I was also put off by a cue in DD that I know would kill my shoulders if I would do what was cued. Being told to not draw your shoulders away from the ears and allow my shoulders to come up by my ears like in hand stand. What!? My shoulders are super loose. This would eventually kill my rotator cuff. I know this because when I started yoga this is what I did until an instructor said to lock my shoulder girdle. Best advice ever! It finally became that active rest pose its supposed to be. The instructor did not go past the second row which I was ok with me, but some of the people around me were struggling and probably needed some hands...
