Yoga Haven SD feels like home when you enter and the staff is so warm and welcoming. I’m just in my first (trial) week and have taken 4 of their classes. My go-to is usually Hatha, but I loved the challenge of the Budokon yoga class (a mix of martial arts and vinyasa) and have absolutely fallen in love with the wall yoga class taught by Karen. It is such a unique, fun and supportive way of practicing poses for alignment and opening. In fact, I brought some of my friends recently to the wall yoga class.. all of us being in our late 40s and early 50s, we each have some kind of injury or dysfunction- and every single one of them walked out expressing how much they enjoyed the class given Karen’s careful and effective guidance in relaxing, lengthening, and strengthening the body. The benefits are truly felt immediately! And since I suffer from a disc herniation in my neck and tight shoulders/upper back, I really love the opportunity to decompress and exaggerate stretches using the wall (hanging as well as cradle around the base of my neck) as well as incorporating yoga sticks into the floor practice to open through the front body. Both approaches and augmentations of yoga were new to me (even though I’ve been practicing for over 20 years), and I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the effect! So I would definitely recommend giving this studio a try. It is also apparent that Troy )the owner) and his staff are very passionate in what they do and have to offer to the community. I can tell they really put their minds and hearts into the setup, design and functionality of the studio. The equipment is quality and the decor tasteful, calming and inspiring. My soul feels like it has room to float and...
Read moreI can't say enough wonderful things about Yoga Haven. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, the studio has something to offer for everyone in their diverse range of classes from Yin to Hatha to Vinyasa flows. It's clear that they're committed to providing holistic wellness solutions that go beyond the conventional, with truly unique offerings such as wall yoga, which has been a game-changer for easing my back pain. They are also always introducing new classes to the schedule.
What truly sets Yoga Haven apart is the sense of community it fosters. The instructors are truly exceptional, each bringing their own expertise, passion, and warmth to every session. Their guidance and encouragement create an environment where you feel supported to challenge yourself and grow in your practice. From the moment you step into the studio, you're enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere where support is shared and everyone feels like they belong.
There’s also plenty of parking in the lot so I never have to worry about finding a spot before class.
Whether you're looking to deepen your practice, alleviate physical discomfort, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, I wholeheartedly recommend Yoga Haven. It's not just a studio; it's a sanctuary for body,...
Read moreI really enjoy going to Yoga Haven and have been attending for a few months now. I initially started with their Free Flow Sundays, where you can experience the different teaching styles of the instructors. After a while, I decided I wanted to be more consistent with my practice, so I took advantage of their special deal: $35 for two weeks of unlimited classes. This gave me the chance to try out all the classes to see if it was a good fit for me, which it was—so after the two weeks, I became a member.
I love coming here because it's more than just yoga; it's a community. The owners, Lauren and Troy, are always attentive to the needs of their students. What I appreciate most about this studio is the variety of classes they offer—it’s not just yoga. They have Tai Chi, a form of martial arts; ballet; Yoga Wall, which helps you decompress your spine and deepen certain yoga poses; Buddakan, a mix of martial arts and yoga; and so much more! All the teachers are amazing and bring their own unique styles and personalities to their classes.
If you’re looking for a studio that offers a blend of yoga, martial arts, stretching, sound baths, and more—and truly makes you feel like part of a community—I highly recommend checking...
