I went with my friend Monday night and it was a great experience. We focused on the theme of grounding. I really enjoyed the practice and our teacher was great at giving tips and reminders to lower our shoulders and not sink into poses. It was really thoughtfully and well done. If I lived in the area I would have loved to go more often. The music was not too loud, the teaching was mindful and the plants were a great touch. Don't forget to take your shoes off when you go in. They have a sliding pay scale and it is accessible to a wide variety of folks. There is a bathroom in the hallway and there are stairs to go up. I am not sure if there is another accessible route but I did not notice it. Just keep in mind the door is on the right hand side of the restaurant.

Read moreI can easily and confidently say that Courageous Yoga is the best Yoga studio in Colorado! Jordan leads with kindness, compassion and so much wisdom. I had the honor of taking a Yoga Teacher Training here and I cannot recommend it enough! Whether you want to become a teacher, or just want to deepen your practice, this is the place to do so! Jordan’s vinyasa classes are always challenging, but rewarding. He always offers options allowing accessibility to all bodies. This is an LGBTQIA friendly and welcoming environment. I have taken from quite a few of the teachers that Jordan has hired, and they are all well-rounded and bring their own hearts to the space. They also offer a dance improv class Friday nights with TJ, and it is the perfect place to go and let your heart be free. 12/10...
