I've been attending this lovely studio for the past few weeks while visiting a friend in Seattle and cannot recommend it enough! There is a variety of classes, and all teachers are equally wonderful. As a yoga practitioner for many years, the teaching style at the studio truly resonates with me and whether you are attending a more dynamic Vinyasa class or a restorative Yin, the common thread will be approaching the practice from a place of curiosity and compassion, listening to and honoring your body. The use of props is also encouraged so students can practice more safely and/or go into some deeper variations of the poses. There are options offered throughout, so classes would be suitable for people of varying levels of experience with yoga as well as health/fitness levels. At the end of each class, I feel thoroughly nourished and full of gratitude to the amazing teachers at the studio. I will be back next time...

It is near a busy road but it is also a very convenient so for me that is a reasonable trade-off. I really like this studio and I look forward to attending many...
Read moreThe reviews are pretty outdated! I attended class today with Suzanne as the instructor. She was encouraging, patient, and positive. I am 23 and an intermediate yogi and a dancer and it was a level 1-3 class which I found very simple and accessible for all ages, but i could still challenge myself and deepen my practice. Guidance was clear and there was a great community feel to this local studio. The studio is bright and clean. The only thing I would've added is a little background music to keep the calm atmosphere going, but that's based on teacher preference, and maybe other teachers there incorporate music. That's just my personal taste. Overall great local studio, and I will definitely continue my practice...
