Open Door Yoga — Local services in Miami

There are so many positive things I can say about this studio. I found this space during a time in my life where I was suffering through grief snd depression. I wanted to find something to keep me physically active but I did not want losing weight to be my main goal. I remember the studio felt welcoming and calming when I found it. The first thing I noticed was that there were NO MIRRORS, which I really loved. I use to hate going to classes and comparing myself to others or looking at myself too much. Having no mirrors helped me focus on other things, like figuring out how to do poses based on feeling my body and not looking at it, I learned breath work and I learned to have patience with myself. The teachers are all amazing and each bring something different to the table. They have taught me so much about myself and have encouraged me every step of the way. Exercise shows your brain that your body and you are capable of change, staying consistent at this studio made me feel like I could do/accomplish anything. I even participated and was one of the winners of a 29 yoga day challenge competition hosted by the studio. Lastly, I have built a wonderful community of friends here.

Open Door is the hidden gem of yoga studios in Miami, literally tucked away in the middle of Coconut Grove.

Anja's voice will mesmerize you, taking you on a glorious and technical ride, leaving you wondering where the time went. But what really keeps me coming back is the community of friends...

This studio is a gorgeous wellness haven for all yoga enthusiasts (beginner to advanced). I just love the vibe when you walk in. It's so peaceful and relaxed - beginning with the self-care shop, to the warm nature of the instructor and also the affirmation cards given at the end of class, along with the complimentary tea. I personally love Becky's Candlelight Yin class. It's just what I need on a Friday night to unwind from a long week. They also host an array of special events on the weekends that really appeal to me as someone gravitating towards the wellness space. (I've personally done the cacao ceremony and the Chakra workshop). Out of all the yoga studios in Miami, I have to say this one is truly special and unique! I can't wait to see what new events they will host...
