Awakened Yoga Studio — Local services in Sugar Land

Absolutely the BEST yoga studio. The instructors, staff, location, cost, parking, cleanliness, and how they pivoted during COVID is amazing.

They have class for any level of yogi. I started with the "flow basics" classes that are slow, purposeful movement with lots of explanation. There were people in that class from age 20s to 80s. You do not have to have ANY experience to take that class and the instructors are great at explaining each pose and corrections you need to make.

After some practice, I wanted more of a challenge and went to "flow" classes which move faster. Then I began practicing daily to sometimes twice a day during COVID and now love the power flow classes.

The instructors are GREAT. Some move faster, some slower. Some instructors incorporate more advanced poses and some stick to the basics. You can try each one out and figure out who you feel most comfortable with and whose style best fits yours. My favorite instructors: Grace, because I like how her classes flow and she's great about explaining the small adjustments that I should be making in my form and practice. Rashad because of his gentle giant nature. He does simple and straight forward flow classes which are just my speed and style! Georgia because even though she can clearly do any yoga pose and is extremely flexible, she modifies her yoga practice to be accessible to anyone. And I love Jess, Lesley, Amy, Dominique, Jeffrey... really they are all great and each have their own style. I also love that the yoga instructors look like real people. They don't look like they all stepped out of a Lululemon commercial (a few do, but they can't help that they are super fit). They are real people, with real bodies, and aren't perfect. I love that I can identify with them.

During COVID, the studio started online live classes every day and would also email a link to the FULL video of the class that you can replay as many times as you want for a week. WOW! This was a LIFESAVER. I was able to practice from the comfort and safety of my home as well as watch the video over and over. I was concerned that I wouldn't get my money's worth during COVID (I have the monthly unlimited package) but it has been the complete opposite! During the shut down of the studio and now reopening with smaller classes, I am able to practice from home, with my favorite instructors, conveniently and receive 1 week unlimited replays for every class I sign up for (even if I sleep through the class or it doesn't work for my schedule). I have made out like a bandit!

The owner, Grace, is friendly, receptive to feedback and questions, and a fantastic yoga instructor!

One of the things I love about this studio is the community. I came for the yoga, but I am committed to this studio because of the community, vibe and people. Everyone is so supportive. It is not a competitive environment at all, it's the opposite, everyone wants to help each other be healthy, strong, and the best yoga practitioner they can be. I have recommended this studio to everyone who will listen because yoga is low impact, increases strength and has huge mental health benefits.

Parking: I didn't want to deal with trying to find a spot at a gym... well this yoga studio is in a lot that has 10 times the parking that is needed on any given day. Easy access to the feeder too.

Try the 2 week special for new clients. It's unlimited yoga for 2 weeks. You'll find out why everyone rates Awakened Yoga 5 stars. It...

Awakened Yoga gets 5 stars for their genuine community involvement, creative class offerings and positive spirit. Here's the services I've used:

Flow classes: I'm a beginner yogi but I could keep up with all the flow classes. The style of class varies with instructor and I needed yoga blocks for every class but I did it. I recommend a basic flow class if you're new. All of Camille's classes are solid and you leave feeling better and like you got a massage.

Aerial Yoga: This is what I imagine it feels like to be a baby swaddled in silk blankets. I've taken a couple of the classes, it's amazing, I wish I could take more but #momlife and lawyering doesn't always leave time. Try this class it's different but you'll like it.

Yin Yoga: I have ALOT of trouble quieting my mind so this class where you hold stretches for long periods of time is helpful. My mind still wanders but I'm getting more focused with each class I take.

Massage Therapy: Y'all LORETTA will fix you. You can schedule massage appointments for Loretta at awakened yoga, her cards are at the front desk. She has loads of fancy massage training in NYC and LA. Loretta uses body cushions, exotic essential oils and her extensive knowledge on massage to keep me in good...

I've been a member of this studio for a few years and I really enjoy it.

They offer a variety of classes at various times 7 days a week. Classes are in person and virtual classe are offered as well.

Its easy to book online and they are good about updating the schedule online (class cancellation, if a class is being taught by a different teacher than who normally teaches the class, holiday closures etc). The staff at the front desk is friendly and helpful, very easy to check in for class when you arrive.

The teachers show, explain the movements and suggest modifications. Here, they don't try to force you into doing poses you don't want/shouldnt/can't do. I feel comfortable to do the poses in ways that feel right for me even if its not exactly as the teacher is doing it.

They also offer special workshops (for additional cost) like sound baths, prenatal, yin etc.

Overall, I find it to be a welcoming space where you can enjoy doing yoga.

Also, I do like that they do things for the community (ex: free classes outside the studio; they had a free bike repair where you could bring in your bike and a local business would do repair work; they've done cat and/or dog yoga to help raise funds for local dog/cat...
