The Space Between Yoga Studio — Local services in Houston

Carmen started out at my yoga teacher about 5 years ago and then through squeezing myself in her classes that were always packed and being so drawn to her authentic energy she became a great friend of mine who I would do anything for. Carmen devotes her entire being, spirit, blood,sweat and tears into her dedication to yoga. She has always shown up in our community as both a student and a teacher. What sets her apart from other teachers is that she excels at the dynamic to both lead and allow her community to lead her as well as her connection to a higher wisdom. I always tell people she reminds me of a female Matthew McConaughey. She is disciplined and accountable in her practice and what she teaches as well as embodies the necessity that growth requires of marching to the beat of your on drum or whatever that saying is. She has always demonstrated her commitment to inner growth and it reflects in her studio and this is why she will always be Houston’s yoga sweetheart. Her studio has held students with grace reverence. She is just as invested in us as we strive to be for ourselves. She has shown up for me as a teacher time and time again for me and others when I’ve had nothing to offer. On a more technical aspect - her playlists are awesome, usually moody which is a great tool if you use yoga to confront emotions or shadow work or to tune into my inner nature. She is perfect at giving queues that have never required me to look up to see what she is talking about. She reads the room with precision to deliver an exceptional and collaborative practice. Her classes feel like we all melt into one being moving through and with our power together. I cannot recommend this studio or its amazing and dynamic group of teachers she has lovingly picked and trained. I’ll keep coming back here until I die. Join me if you’re...

The Space Between is everything I ever wanted in a yoga studio. You'll immediately feel at ease when you step through the door and take in all the plants, artwork, ambient lighting, and calming energy. Every single teacher whose class I've attended has been phenomenal. I always leave class having learned something new (been practicing yoga for almost 8 years now), whether it's about the asana practice, yoga philosophy, breath work, or a nugget of knowledge about myself.

There are so many things I love about this place, but I'll list some of my favorites: There are NO MIRRORS so you can focus on your practice rather than getting distracted by how you look. There's an abundance of props (bolsters, blankets, blocks) that are lovingly cleaned and maintained by the team. The team is always hosting a wide variety of different events both in and out of the studio that allow you to feel more connected with the community. Across all teachers, there's encouragement to listen to your body and modify your practice as you see fit (rather than feeling like you have a militant coach correcting you). It's very spacious! I'm not sure what the maximum is for a class, but it has never felt overcrowded.

I'm so happy to have found The Space, it's my...

Yoga studio's can be intimidating, performative, and pricey. That's not the case at The Space Between (TSB). The crowd that goes there return because of the nurturing space that the community creates - starting with the owner (She's a gem) down to each instructor. They're conscientious and want as many people to try yoga, and if for them, to grow into a practice (A big plus: Each instructor is so different, but all are genuine in who they are and how they do their thing. So even if you haven't found inspiration in a session, here you can get exposed to a multitude of approaches). While it's donation based, TSB keeps the space running without compromising in quality. The studio is large, clean, and full of light, plants, and art. The instructors, the regulars, and their relationship to each other make this studio a place to return, again and again. I am moving out of Houston, and writing this so that more people can discover a place that meant so much to me while...
