Horrible experience... I booked the day before on ClassPass and then received a text message confirming that I was attending class the next day at 5:30pm. Once we arrived the lady checking us in told my friend and I that they didn't accept class pass and that we could pay the drop in fee of $20. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE especially after I confirmed via SMS where the studio would've only received my information from class pass. The lady was extremely rude and needs more namaste in her life. read more

Really loved my Hot HIIT class here! The instructor (the owner I think) was authentic and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had an intense, rejuvenating workout. I was visiting from NY and felt really fortunate to drop in to a great class but if I lived in Aspen I'm sure I'd become a regular! read more

I took a yin class this afternoon. The staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. The class was taught by Mike and was by far the best yin class I have taken. His gentle coaxing to go further in the poses was very effective. If you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you will love this class after a day of activity or a day of stress. It is very warm but I found it to be helpful in a yin class. I will be back for sure! read more

Lightly Practicing Yoga , for 30 years, all around the world. I never ever had a teacher , telling me to get out of is/her side, and move to the back of the class, because "Princess Koi Roll-In" is disturbed by my bad postures!! "Caroline", you are the meanest Teacher/owner I ever had! Please spend more time at been nice from the inside, instead of plastic surgery's , who makes you uglier over the years!!And you can see , I do still polite! read more

A friend of mine took Marlon's class and I'm appalled by how she was treated. In the middle of class she went to drink water, which Marlon called her out in front of the whole class and said she needed to "stay with the flock" by refraining to drink water (?) The class itself was very militaristic in style, and Marlon made several condescending comments towards other workout styles and towards people who weren't avid yogis. The arrogance and attitude of Marlon ruined the class and is such a turn off for the entire studio. Save your money and don't take her class. You'll see plenty of other one star reviews that echo these thoughts. read more

I'm back for my second summer of doing Bikram yoga at Arjuna and I am so happy that I signed up again! It's great to see friends I worked out with last summer and meeting new friends there too! I love the way the teachers are super encouraging no matter what level you are at in your practice. I love the music Marlon plays during her classes. I feel so incredibly welcome the minute I walk in the door. I feel better and better with each class I take. It feels lovely to be back :) Namaste yall! Kyle read more

This was probably my worst experience ever.... if you can handle the owner [Caroline] talking about herself to the extent of TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL TERRIBLE, then go for it... she is misery instead of assisting her clients, she thinks she is perfect... have fun... KINDNESS is free .... yoga is a lot more than looking as good as she appears to think she does... be nice, you never know what a person is going through. SHE HAS ALOT TO LEARN ABOUT METAPHYSICS AND LIFE The other instructors are very nice and professional - I've studied metaphysics and worked very hard for longer than she has had a studio... and this owner needs to understand that she is not a good person. Nobody has to go through a class of hers.... I would highly NOT RECOMMEND HER AS A BUSINESS OWNER - PEOPLE HAVE TO EARN Respect and she is one person that can take her yoga studio and shove it up her ass... she talks about how much money she spends on her health to entice people to pay more money to be at her studio - that's nuts! If she hates working in America so much why doesn't she go back to Germany? Americans don't deserve her holier than though attitude about health. Having a yoga studio is for people to learn that want to learn, not to listen to her gripe about how crazy she must be to even want to be in the health field in America... Take your money elsewhere ... read more

I enjoy coming here during Amanda's classes, she is a fantastic instructor. Her classes are always fun, lively, relaxing and enjoyable. I will admit I am not much of a yoga partitioner but when ever I come to a class with Amanda I always feel much better when I leave. read more

Arjuna Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

This was my first time at this perfectly and conveniently located yoga studio. The studio itself is lovely, clean and calm. Limited changing and washing facilities but nothing a regular yogi wouldn't mind. Sadly the owner and teacher Carolyn was the least welcoming teacher I have ever had in over twenty years of dropping into yoga classes around the world. I won't be going back there but as a yogi feel compelled to let her know how her attitude and behavior landed to me a regular yogi and my partner, a relative newcomer to yoga. 1. The class was advertised as hot yoga but in fact it was a Bikram class. Carolyn followed the 26 posture classic sequence in a shortened 75 min class. She began straight away without explaining what Bikram is and as a former Bikram practioneer the omissions she made and changes were not helpful. She did correct my partner in the breathing exercises. 2. Music - lovely as it was - was played during the class which is not classic Bikram and is deeply distracting during a heated class. 3. The main problem I have with Carolyn was during-class patter. She spoke often of her "local yogis" that she loved so much, making an out of towner feel vey unwelcome. She also kept referencing people who were not breathing properly without identifying or assisting exactly to whom she was referring. It made me and my partner unnecessarily self-conscious. 4. Her references to her exboyfriend and an alcoholic man were inappropriate and unwelcome. If the owner could find a more welcoming and inviting demeanor it would go a long way to making this studio a stand out but sadly the one thing you want in a yoga studio is transparent and honest dialogue and a welcoming environment. I offer this as constructive criticism. Namaste. N read more

The most AMAZING and POSITIVE energy studio. The instructors really love what they are doing and share that enthusiasm with students. They want their students to be the best they can possibly be. Whether a local or a visitor, Arjuna Yoga, is a fun, special and therapeutic studio offering classes for all. Note, this is a hot yoga studio, which means it is hot. I love listening to the music selections during the classes - it's fun! I'm a big fan of Bikram, Vinyasa and Yin. My favorite instructors are graceful Caroline, enthusiastic Jamie, calming Kris and mighty Marlon. Please bring your smile, leave the cell phone home and open your heart to all the goodness it offers. Ps: it's super clean! read more

For the quality of Bikram, I would actually give this studio 5 stars, except that they don't offer a new student special. For a drop in class, it's $20. But I encourage new students to give it a try. Awesome teachers, especially Kate, whom I've taken 2 Bikram classes from. She gives really good individual feedback during class to help you adjust your poses. And she remembers everyone's name! Looking forward to trying a power class offered at the stuido. read more

Arjuna Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

I loved Arjuna! Went to a couple of studios in Aspen the level 2/3 classes were more like level 1/2. Then I was recommended Arjuna. Went to Marlon's vinyasa class. There were so many great students, it was very inspiring, that was part of what made the experience. Marlon was amazing..... It was transformative.....I had no idea I could hold warrior 2 so long. I've never felt stronger. Every pose was wonderful! Great music, all around A+ read more

I love Arjuna especially the teachers BUT this year it is so crowded it is almost unbearable. They need to cut off the number of people. I do not need to find my head trapped between some strangers sweaty legs. Nothing personal. Clearly you could charge more for drop ins but that may not help but it is easy money and will not effect your loyal local clientele. YOU MUST DO SOMETHING !!!! read more

Arjuna Yoga - Ajax forever - Yoga Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

I'm going to try and keep this as objective as possible, but Caroline's (the Owner) Class was hands down the most negative experience and disrespectful teacher I have ever had the displeasure of practicing with. I would advise going just about anywhere else. Here's my experience with Caroline at Arjuna Yoga: When I first arrived I was greeted by a woman who said "you must be so and so" because I'd signed up online and there was only one other person there for class when I arrived. She then told me to grab two blocks and a strap and told me where the bathroom was. I found the bathroom but then wandered around trying to find the actual studio. Finally I had to go back to the front and ask and she mumbled something unclear then I had to ask again, "is it in this door?" She said yes so I went on in. The music in the class while not overly loud, was easily loud enough to overpower Caroline's voice and her instruction was very unclear and hard to hear. Unlike most yoga instructors, bikram and otherwise, Caroline did not instruct, instead she just practiced with us and mumbled along the direction to her flow. I'm used to my yogi's actively teaching and participating by making adjustments and monitoring their students bodies. She even said that, and I quote "I love teaching yoga because I'm really a lazy person and teaching yoga makes me practice daily." This is opposite from everything that I have ever learned and experience in my yoga practice About 35 minutes into class Caroline had us do handstand hops, I instead just chose to just do a handstand and hold it. She complimented me on it, something I don't particularly appreciate (just a small quirk of mine) because I don't want others in class to feel like they need to be in a handstand, fancy poses are not the point of yoga after all. A couple minutes later I floated forward from DFD to Forward Fold with a handstand in the middle, something that I've personally been working on doing smoothly and the second awkward comment came out..."Just because you are good at something doesn't mean you need to do it." Turns out that I was really starting to bother her because about 45 minutes in she made a comment about how I shouldn't be practicing my Ujjayi Pranayama in a heated yoga class because it's bad for your body. She then went on to say that "I've been to India many many many times and ALL of my yogis who have been practicing yoga for years and years say that it's bad." The funny thing is that I actually wasn't. I was breathing in, and I have a strong and loud breath, through my mouth, pulling it across my tongue to cool down my body and then exhaling out through my nose on a six count like I usually do. She thought I was still heating up and this really really bothered her. I'm unsure why if I was doing something that was harmful to my body, why did she wait 45 minutes into the class to warn me about it? That seems a bit dangerous. I told her that I appreciate the advice and continued to breath in through my mouth aka "not Ujjayi Pranayama" but that still bothered her. She then went on to say to the whole class" that beginners will be beginners and that she knows what she's talking about because she's been practicing now for 13 years." I thought that belitting a yogi in the middle of your class was pretty disrespectful and very un-yogic but that's how she chooses to teach. I'd also like to point out that she had no idea how long I've been practicing for, 12 years myself, and that I've also done my 200 HR yoga instructor certification. She then continued to rant about me to the class and how someday I'd learn! Turns out I also remind her of her 30 year old son who thinks he knows everything but obviously she is "much more wise." I like to think that I know what is going on within my own body and how it feels in each pose than an instructor who doesn't know me and didn't care to ask about my practice or if I'm working with any injuries, which I am. We didn't end class with Savasana which I thought was strange. It just ended abruptly with another snide remark to the class about me and she left the room. I stayed in the room seated to meditate for a couple minutes and let the anger and negative energy from Caroline leave me and to ready myself for more rude comments from her upon leaving. I ended up chatting with a couple of the other yogis who showed up for the class (there was only 5 people myself included) before heading out and Caroline was no where to be seen. This is the first time I have ever had a yoga instructor intentionally be rude to me in a class and make me feel unwelcome. I'm unsure what would encourage someone to treat their students so but I would have to recommend NOT going to Arjun Yoga. Maybe there are better instructors there but if that is the way that the owner treats her student's I can't think it's a very healthy place to practice. read more

This yoga studio is the much unfriendly and unhelpful studio I have ever been to. I walked in and no one else was around and it took the woman at the desk about 10 min to finally ask me if I needed any help. I have some shoulder issues and I asked if I could pay for a drop in class but if my shoulder didn't hurt the next day if that money spent could go to a monthly unlimited, and I was told absolutely not. Do they not want people to feel welcome to come back? I will never be going back to this studio again. I went over to 02 yoga and I asked them the same question about letting the price for a drop in go to my month pass and they said yes we are welcome to help you in anyway. We would hate it if you were injured. Now that is service, maybe Arjuna can learn something from this. read more

What a welcoming environment and great flow. I don't live in aspen, but I am there every few months so I've been to this studio a couple times. Each time I have visited, the class is filled with locals who are kind and inviting. The instructors are upbeat and calming at the same time. read more

Arjuna Yoga offers a diverse set of hot yoga classes with very experienced, quality instructors. I've been practicing there for 13 plus years, and the owners continue to grow and improve the space. The music and atmosphere are fantastic! Try a class at Arjuna yourself - you won't be disappointed! read more

Arjuna yoga is my go to place in Aspen for hot yoga. It's a great community for locals and out of towners alike to practice together in an encouraging environment. There are a variety of classes and instructors who each offer a different style of teaching so you can choose your favorite or switch it up. As a professional athlete, I count on Arjuna for cross training and am so thankful that it offers what I need. read more

Really nice staff! Welcoming and helpful. The class itself filled up fast and space was tight. But happy I got a spot! The class was very hot- I'm used to hot yoga in LA but at this altitude its a bit challenging if visiting. Honestly made me feel a little off after. Pricey per class and Mat rentals, but hey it's aspen! The downfall is the bathroom area. The toilet,sink, shower all in one is troublesome when everyone is trying to do something different and rush before or after class. Not good if you need to rinse after. If you live near by it would be much more convenient. But it does the trick if you need to detox and can handle it. read more

I love Arjuna. I bought an annual pass and go at least 3 times per week. Carolyn, Jamie and Marlon are incredible instructors. I love the variety of classes...Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, Yin and Bikram/Hot yoga. The owners are passionate about the benefits of yoga and are super committed to maintaining a clean, nurturing environment which challenges the body and calms the mind. read more

I've been coming here for 5 years and love it!!! They don't have a single bad teacher. The studio is the cleanest hot yoga studio I've ever been to. The only issue is sometimes the classes get very crowded but everyone works together to accommodate more room without being selfish. Love love LOVE this place. read more

Best Hot yoga studio, I am a yoga " connoisseur" I've been to hot yoga studios around the world and this is one of the best. First, heated vinyasa yoga in a studio that ACTUALLY is hot, I'm all about the sweat. Everyone sweats, the classes are fun, creative, great workout!! super clean, friendly teachers that knew my name because the teacher signs you in at the front desk. There seemed to be a lot of locals, all ages, all levels in each class that I attended during my stay in Aspen. Kudos to Arjuna for keeping it real. read more

Unfortunately, Caroline H. (owner) was extremely RUDE, UNFRIENDLY and PRETENTIOUS, treating us like unwelcome customers. As a Yoga studio owner, you should show openness and peacefulness, which she did not do. I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for a positive Yoga experience. On the other hand, Jaime H. (owner) treated us very well after he found out how we were treated by Caroline. read more

This is my first yelp review I have ever written and it is because I love this place. I recently moved to Aspen from New York City and immediately started going to this studio. In NYC I bounced around from studio to studio never really loving it but here at Arjuna I find myself coming back day after day not only for the amazing instructors (especially Marlon) but also for the company. I am a beginner to intermediate yogi and I feel comfortable coming here even with the more advanced students. I originally did yoga sparingly in order to get some stretching in but now I have adopted it as a practice. I never thought I would be one to be able to sit in such a hot room but like I said before I find myself coming day after day and am seeing amazing results. read more

I'm so disappointed in this studio based on the attitude of the owner and two of the instructors I've encountered. This is not a studio for beginners, to put it mildly. The owner seems to look down her nose at newcomers, as does at least one of the instructors, who loves to talk about movies during class, and also tell stories about past students. It makes me wonder if she'll ever tell a not-so-flattering story about me when I'm not around. I can tell that it would be a lovely place to take a class if it wasn't for the prevailing "you haven't taken yoga for 10 years so you're not worth our respect" attitude being passed down from the owner. I gave this studio many chances to change its ways, hoping the more they saw me, the nicer they'd get. It never happened. read more

Beautiful studio, instruction is clear and sequences are challenging. I have only been to one class that was overcrowded, but otherwise it is a great place to practice a variety of yoga styles in an intimate setting. I love the Ashtanga and Vinyasa classes. read more

Caroline, the owner has a horrible attitude. Money hungry and self-absorbed. The yoga is decent, but not for the price. No spiritual aspect to the yoga. Owner loves to watch herself do yoga in the mirror while she teaches. She will often scold new-comers for being in the front row. She is constantly saying only advanced yogis should be next to her. The class is not at all inclusive or friendly. Her intentions are more to exclude newcomers than to make anyone feel welcome. There are way more affordable, friendly, kind studios where you get a much better work out than Arjuna. I don't recommend that studio at all. read more

Spent a few days in town. Am a yoga junkie so needed a fix. Found Arjuna. If you want a work out, its your place, if not read on. While I was happy to find a studio to practice, I found it to be one of the least pleasurable studios I have visited. We practiced three different styles - Astana, bikram and vinyasa flow and had three different teachers. For starters, there was no differentiation in room temperature between classes - they were all HOT YOGA. No energy crisis in Aspen. Each class started very brusquely and the instructors maintained a very militant style throughout the practice. One instructor summed up the studios entire philosophy in three words - 'yoga is competition'. This is the absolute antithesis of everything I've learned over the years. Only through breathing and acceptance was I able to complete the practice. No spirituality at Arjuna, just a gym masquerading as yoga studio. read more
