Ahhh it's so good. If you love REAL plants galore, hamsas, music, natural light, and wonderful instructors, COME HERE! 2. Super clean 3. Hard wood floors 4. Local kombucha stocked in the fridge. OmTree has their own blend! And it is delicious! 5. Convenient scan pass for your keychain that is actually really cute 6. Really cute yoga clothes! 7. Wonderful schedule 8. Kundalini on Sundays!!!! 9. Awesome schedule This yoga studio is not intimidating at all. Everyone is really helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend this studio for beginners and advanced yogis alike! I wish there was an OmTreeShala in Dallas! I would go every day :)

While I was in grad school at KU, a friend and I decided to do a tour of yoga studios in Lawrence…read moreby doing the introductory packages at all the studios. Om Tree was the first studio we tried and we never left. Until I moved away, that is. Since I moved away I have tried four different yoga studios where I am living now and none of them even come close to competing with Om Tree. I haven't been to Om Tree since the summer of 2013 (but have been meaning to write a review since then) but the things I loved about it then were: 1) Amazing teachers. They were all awesome and provided assistance with poses, excellent adjustments, and often used the Sanskrit words for the poses, which I really appreciated. 2) Great music during the classes. This is a big deal to me and one of the things that's disappointing about my current studio is that many of the teachers don't use music at all. 3) Lovely studio. I liked the mirrors so I could check my alignment, the natural light coming in through the windows, the plants, the scent, everything. 4) Great variety of classes and times. 5) Student discount! OmTree was the first place I practiced yoga regularly, and that practice helped me get through my second year of grad school which coincided with planning a wedding with my long-distance fiance. It was exactly what I needed at that time. I think of OmTree often and it's probably one of the top 5 reasons I wish I still lived in Lawrence!

Love this yoga studio! I have been to so many in KC but didn't continue because they didn't fit. My…read morefavorite class here is Jen's levels 1 and 2... I consider myself an intermediate yogi and this class really gives me a workout. She's always very conscientious to ensure you know of a good modification if you can't quite do a pose and is really great at helping you have correct form so you get the most from the poses. She includes just enough meditation, breath work and mental/spiritual stimulation to ensure that I am calm, centered, in the moment, and able to forget I just spent 8 hours on a computer chair underneath fluorescent lighting... but not so much that I feel like I'm at a new age church. I also really enjoy Yeshe's bellydance class. It's more for movement, fluidity and healing than performance. I always leave here in a great mood! The studio itself has a great environment and look to it. A little on the expensive side ($15 per class or $120 for a 10-class card) but the quality is spot on. Highly recommend!

Her Yoga Sculpt class is no joke, it kicks my butt every time in the best way possible. Taylor has a great energy and really knows how to challenge the body. She's especially good at targeting those smaller muscles we don't typically think about using day to day, and I always wake up sore the next morning, which to me is the sign of a great, effective workout. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and has a calming vibe, which makes it easy to stay motivated and consistent.

The studio is equipped with every prop you could think of, including mats, blankets, blocks, straps and metal chairs. My instructor is sweet as can be, and she listens to your individual needs--shifting poses so they'll be more comfortable, or adjusting your pose as you go along. The classes are for an hour and half, perfectly balanced between active and less active poses. I feel so good after class, I recommend yoga for everyone!

I had a great experience receiving yoga instruction from Clare! I have been practicing hatha yoga…read moreon and off for about 15 years, but had really fallen out of practice. My sweetheart - who had very little yoga experience - and I wanted to experience partner yoga so we booked for a private session. Clare showed up on time and was very warm and personable. We were a little nervous going in, but soon were having fun. The instruction was easy to follow and Clare was very patient with us even when we felt discouraged by the more challenging poses. I have some physical limitations and Clare was able to smoothly work with my body. We even got to do some fun acro yoga! I felt very comfortable with Clare and it was a fun, bonding experience for my sweetheart and me. I have training as an educator and I can confidently say that Clare is a stellar instructor - knowledgeable, adaptable, and able to communicate clearly. I would definitely recommend giving Clare a try!

She asked many questions and then started on the front of my shoulder, rather than the back where it was hurting the most. She then worked on my back and had me do some movements by rotating my shoulder as well. The next day, my pain was still there but had definitely subsided. Over the next few days, it disappeared and has not returned! This was my first experience with bodywork and Rolfing and I am a complete convert. I've never cared for chiropractors as I don't think they do anything for me that my own yoga practice doesn't, but this was a truly unique and remarkable experience. Highly recommend!
