Finally had the chance to take a chance to take a Yoga Class at BeYoga Burien by one of their senior instructors, OG-Emily..... My wife & I enjoyed her class and her attention to detail, the class had a unique flow that the both of us enjoyed, Emily not only was in front of the class leading us through the moves but she also moved around and corrected the postures of the students. Also enjoyed going to the BeYoga Burien studio which has lots of character (meaning old) and was honored to be walking around the studio which was watered by the sweat and tears from yogis past! I also take Yoga classes at their newer studio BeYoga-Renton, super clean but like every yoga studio has a few minor things that are being worked on correcting. The instructors are top notch and staff is friendly. Ang is the manager for BeYoga Renton & Josh is the manager for BeYoga Burien, both are excellent instructors, friendly and will make sure that you have a good experience at both studios..... read more

This studio is not suited towards beginners. You are expected to know the poses, deal with the heat, and balance on one leg. Of course, if you can't manage a pose, you can sit there like an idiot -- not sure how that helps. When asking about this, I get "that's why it's called a practice." In other words, it's my fault. Pass unless you're already experienced in yoga or don't mind the "more spiritual than thou" attitude, I guess. One class, $50. Canceled immediately. If you're already experienced or are a masochist... the studio is clean, so that's something ‍ read more

I've been attending classes here for 2 years now and I've tried every class, they are all great but Be Strong (barre) is by far favorite. It's such a welcoming environment and every single instructor is amazing, I don't think there are many places you can say that about. read more

I have been a member here since it first opened and am still amazed by the sense of community, the caliber of instructors, and the overall vibe here. I hoghlu recommend this yoga studio for any level of yoga. They have something for everyone! read more

Be Yoga Burien - Yoga Near Me - Burien, Washington

Fantastic experience! Every instructor and support staff are very focused on community and our wellbeing.

I attended the Vinyasa yoga class today and I have been looking for a local yoga studio that was non-hot yoga. When I went into the studio, I was anxious and after the 75min class all of the anxiety had been cleared. I had been attending a Vinyasa yoga at UW but could not find anything similar till this studio. Debbie did a great job of meeting everyone where they are at. She pushes you beyond your limits and encourages you. Looking forward to returning back. +1 Excellent location and parking +1 Food taste really good +1 Customer service +1 Interior/atmosphere +1 Would return/recommend others read more

I've been coming to BYB for about a year now and its become a sanctuary for me. I adore the instructors, the variety of classes, and the community. I've dabbled in yoga for years now but BYB is the only studio that makes me want to come back consistently. I truly enjoy my time there and I'm so happy I found it. read more

So far, I have taken the original hot yoga class with Ayanna & the slow flow yoga class with Trevor. Both were incredible & I can say with total confidence this is the safest i have felt in a yoga class ever. It's been over 7 years since I practiced yoga & it felt extremely approachable. Even when I was in college, I never regularly attended classes. I was a once a monther. But when my partner & I moved out to Burien, I wanted to start taking my health (both physical & mental) more seriously. I found Be Yoga on an evening walk with my partner & it took me about a month after learning of its existence to actually take the plunge & go to a class. The location is incredibly convenient for me as it's just a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from where I live now. I'm happy that it's downtown, so there are lots of restaurants to check out nearby before/after class. Upon entering the studio the first time, I was greeted by both Jaxen & Ayanne. They were happy to help with any questions I had. I'm a bit on the heavier side & it's very important to me to start moving my body without the intention of losing weight. I've struggled with an ED for most of my life & am trying to find a balance. I really feel like I can do that here. Not only that, but it feels like a very safe space to me as a trans/nonbinary person. During the first class I took, Jaxon was there & it instantly made me feel at ease. Ayanne led the class through each pose with helpful reminders on how to do each one. I found the exercises to challenge me as someone who hasn't done yoga for a long time, but not to a point of discomfort. I also felt comfortable sitting out on exercises that pushed me too hard and weren't accessible to me due to injury. During Trevors class, the vibes felt very similar, but i particularly enjoyed Trevors involvement of a more spiritual aspect. I also love that at the beginning of class, he had us talk with someone next to us about a change we are excited about in life. It made me feel more connected with the people around me & definitely makes me feel hopeful that I can find community here. There were bodies of all shapes & sizes at both classes & that made me feel more comfortable too. I left feeling more grounded & at ease. I also want to say a special thank you to whoever put the "reminders" highlight on Be Yogas Instagram page. Im neurodivergent & struggle with new places & and I am always unsure what the proper etiquette is, but they all had it listed very clearly what is expected of students. Overall, I had a fantastic experience & I will most definitely be incorporating classes into my weekly routine. Thank you, Be Yoga. & thank you, Ayanna & Trevor, for being such wonderful teachers. read more

Are you looking for a yoga studio where you can fly under the radar and come and go unnoticed? If so, this studio is not for you. 1. I bought a Groupon as a returning student and Carrie worked with me to switch to the right monthly package. She was super nice an accommodating. 2. Lizzie calls and checks in with you during your first month to see how things are going. She's so sweet. 3. All the teachers are fantastic and helpful. They provide the right amount of feedback and adjustment. I've taken classes with Michelle, Heidi, Seth, Linda B, and Christina. Lots of variety in classes. There is plenty of street parking. If you forget your hair tie, they have some at the front desk. Rumor has it, the left side of the studio is cooler than the right. read more

The staff is super nice and helpful. I was able to get in a few classes while I was out there visiting. Which though they had 26.2 classes. read more

If you're looking for a good, hot HOT yoga spot in Burien/ South End this spot is highly recommended. Love the Yin Yoga classes with Linda B. and Vinyasa with Hilary -- both teachers are what makes me want to come here for practice. The business also offers workshops and other wellness events which are a great opportunities! Most classes are 105 degrees but offer awesome heat for a good stretch. Make sure you always drink lots of water a few hours before class. If you're interested, start with Yin Yoga class then work up for more movement focused classes like Vinyasa or Hatha. Lockers rooms are a little small but everyone is respectful of each other and the space. read more

Oh my gosh, this place is so great. I took a 6:00 AM Vinyasa class having been away from yoga classes since the pandemic started two years ago. (And, if I'm honest, off-and-on for two years prior to that due to pregnancy and having infants) This class was everything I wanted it to be. The teacher was fantastic, the other people in the class were as friendly as Seattlites can be at 6:00 AM, and the building was warm and welcoming. I loved it and have already signed up for next week's class at the same time! read more

Great classes and teachers. Friendly instructors. Nice changing rooms with showers. Great encouraging experience for beginners and experienced yogis! Package deal for classes also gets you going to many. Some teachers so very good like Shelly and Emily, very positive and encouraging. Everybody is so nice! read more

I highly recommend Be Yoga Burien (BYB) to anyone and everyone practicing at any level. I had never been in a yoga class before trying out BYB and I was hooked and signed up instantly after my first class. The facility is so nice, clean and inviting. The entire staff are always so nice and willing to help you at anytime. I never thought I would like Hot Yoga because of the heat. However, one class with Penni changed my perspective and made it my favorite. Do yourself a favor and give BYB a shot, you are gonna love this studio. read more

Buyer beware, teacher trainings might not be for you if you are looking for a professional, Buddha-based training focussing on empowering you as a teacher and as a person without judgement or harm. I was a student for three years at BYB. Within that time, I took a yoga teacher training, completed it, then began another... We heard repeatedly that the leaders of the training were just figuring it out as they went along, "We're all learning together" was the excuse for their inexperience and it only got worse from there. Following their instructions, both verbally and in our handbook, I offered feedback. I brought to their attention that some of their tactics "skirted the edge of bullying". I was told to "sit up straight" on a hard wood floor for six hours, I'd brought the same soft mat I'd used in the first teacher training that suddenly wasn't sufficient, and was told to "make it short" whenever I spoke. This became the theme for a few of us, not all, but a select few. It needed to be addressed, so I did. Essentially, the "all are welcome" motto only applies to certain personalities. Stronger people are stifled. I offered the suggestion that rather than cut women down, they could try empowering the quieter people. "Don't cut off the heads of some to make others seem taller", is a borrowed quote I thought should have been recognized by people claiming to be teachers of teachers in the world of yoga. Among the arbitrary rules with which I was presented, MANDATORY Zoom call was one. The mandate was never mentioned before I signed up for the training. I'd never heard of Zoom call. Although I tried, I couldn't load the app, quite simply, but rather than speaking to me in person to work out any issue they had with my feedback, they demanded I Zoom meet or face expulsion. They gave me no choice. They kicked me out and promised a full refund. That promise was not honored and I emailed about the last $500. She demnaded that it was non-refundable and the other refund was a "courtesy" that she actually didn't owe me anything at all. So I sued Nina. And I won. This took a year of my time, effort and emotion. I've waited this long to write a review because I wanted to hear the court's ruling as well as gain some perspective as to what had just happened. I had never been given a reason for expulsion beyond my inability to Zoom meet and was called "not coachable"... which is easily disproven by my completeion of three trainings since. Nina said things about me in court that she'd never shared with me in person despite promises in the handbook to handle sutuaitons with respect and compassion. She attacked my character where I did no such thing to her and she lied, blatantly. She claims I never contacted her about the last $500, that I was just erratically suing her with no warning. She also had the bad taste to mention my issues with anxiety, placing blame on me for her actions. Know too that this review is somewhat risky according to many of her former colleagues and students. As I reached out to former students and teachers a recurring statement rang with alarm, they were afraid to offer support because they "fear retaliation". I myself do not. Nor was another ex-student she'd threatened with legal action for taking a JOB at a competing studio. I am within my legal rights to share my story and feel obligated to do so. And really, a human-to-human conversation was all the situaiton called for... it could have been handled peacefully and without harm. read more

I don't think anyone can go wrong with doing yoga at any studio. No one really regrets going to yoga. I like mixing it up and doing different things, which this studio offers that. It is two hours free street parking outside the studio. I really like the staff and instructor here. Highly recommend trying it out! read more

Thus studio is awesome! Very welcoming and easy to start up with. I am not full time and not super young- but it doesn't matter! The staff is awesome, and very good at explaining to new people what todo! I was comfortable the first time I came in ( free class) and signed up right away. Classes are well staggered and I can do any with notification which they encourage. Love these guys! read more

I took my very first class at Be Yoga Burien this week, and the class was a fun challenge. Everyone I interacted with was positive and welcoming. Personally, I really value thoughtful music selections at a loud volume... it helps me get in the groove! I was so happy with the song choices and volume, and finally feel like I've found my go-to yoga studio in Seattle. read more

I took my first class at BYB in April 2017 because I learned the studio offered barre! I used to teach ballet barre and I've missed it so much. My first barre class was with Kati which I absolutely fell in love with - ballet terms, pointed toes, ugh, my heart. I was on the new student special then as I didn't know if I wanted to fully commit to getting a membership. Later, I started taking other classes: Bikram, Vinyasa, Yoga Plus and learned Heidi was an instructor at BYB! Side note - I took my very first Bikram class with her way back when in Renton. Fast forward - I eventually I got membership and have been loving the studio/instructors/peers. Good vibes, flows and it keeps me sane in parallel with wedding planning (hah). read more

I started going to yoga because my martial arts instructor recommended it, to help increase my flexibility and strength. Now I go to yoga because Nina and the other instructors at Be Yoga Burien are amazing read more

I am beyond impressed with the staff, who are super attentive and helpful. I have been coming here on and off since the studio opened, and it has been my pleasure. The studio offers so many varieties of classes and interesting mixes of yoga practices. This is truly a great place to focus on yourself, and I highly recommend joining and trying it out.

I have always used hot yoga to get back into shape when I've fallen off the wagon. So I happily did an intro month here for a mere $45. And I promptly fell in love. I love that they teach a variety of classes, so you can mix up your workouts without having to go to another fitness studio. I love how clean it is. I love how friendly both the instructors and the fellow members are. I love that the monthly membership is affordable ($99 or $109) compared to some of the other yoga studios in Seattle. And I REALLY love how, after being a part of the worst gym on the planet for a year (West Seattle Health Club, see my previous review!), the staff shows me the same level of kindness and politeness I always try to show them (and everyone I meet). I just signed up for a monthly membership as my intro month ends in a few days. I'm so happy to be a part of the Be Yoga community, and I already feel (and look, yay!) better than I did a month ago. read more

This is hands down the best yoga studio in town!! Not only traditional Bikram, but an hour version is also offered as well as Barre and fabulous other classes!! The owner Nina epitomizes the spirit and heart of what yoga is. She has created a community and overwhelming sense of welcome and warmth to all. The instructors all have the same positive energy. I went from practicing a few times a month, to taking daily classes now because of this studio! I can't recommend enough! Since this review, I have participated in many teacher trainings for the studio (I am a vocal coach). I can't say enough about how professional, warm, and thorough their training is. Most all students have now become teachers and carrying on the beautiful essence that this studio exudes! read more

Formerly Sylvan Learning Center, this space is now Bikram Yoga Burien. And wow, what a facelift! Two massive Bikram "spine twist" logos adorn their streetside windows, which cast interesting shadows as the day wears on. There's so much sunlight and brightness in the lobby. Orange walls, fresh flowers, vibrancy all throughout the space. The owners (Nina and Barb) are so passionate and loving--they teach authentic Bikram Yoga, which is known to be rigorous and structured, yet give beginners room to breathe. And they thought of all the little details: two water fountains, bathrooms in the dressing rooms, shower area with 6 shower heads, counter space for ladies to get prettied up after a hard workout. There is also a small retail section for mats, towels, books, water bottles and soon clothing. Everything is so organized, which I love. And the energy! Oh the energy is wonderful. Go get your sweat on! read more

I am a dedicated yogi and know Nina (owner/teacher) and Katy (teacher) from a previous yoga studio. In my opinion, they are some of the most friendly, knowledge, and warm teachers in the Seattle yoga scene. BYB is a very clean, welcoming, and fun yoga studio. The hot room is nice, spacious, and super humid! No gross carpet smell in here. The lobby is filled with yogi merchandise and information. Very open and easy to find from the street! Locker rooms have large showers and bathrooms. Makes for a easy change of clothes. Even if someone has never tried hot yoga, I always recommend BYB because of the gorgeous studio and amazing teachers. PS: Chocolate coconut water is DELICIOUS! read more

I got the unlimited classes for $30 for one month on either living social or Groupon (I can't remember which). Fantastic deal! The studio is super clean and well taken care of. The teachers are so great too! Katy is my favorite :) not only is she extremely knowledgable, but she is encouraging and helps you with your poses along the way. All in all, great studio, great location, great teachers. Love it! read more

I've taught Bikram hot yoga for over ten years and have either practiced or taught at over two dozen studios. Be Yoga Burien is perfection in my books. For starters, the studio is always clean and odor free. I know that's an odd place to start, but let's be frank ... so many 'hot yoga' studios have that funky sweat/feet/toenail fungus smell that's offputting to newbies in particular and anyone with a nose in general. The heat is equally top notch, with heated ceiling panels, fans and a ceiling exhaust system to circulate in fresh air. Ahhh! fresh air in a yoga class -- sign me up! The teachers employed have all had hundreds of hours of training and are knowledgeable about the body, able to adapt poses for injuries and are loving and kind. None of this "put your water down!" or "hey! you! no one leaves the room" or "lock your damn knee" dictators here. While the studio did start out as a Bikram-only studio, it has evolved to include other styles. In addition to yin and hot and vinyasa, the studio also offers barre and a 'yoga plus' class which incorporates high intensity and weights. The owner, Nina, has taught for over a decade and sets the bar high for her teachers. Good, clean website that's easy to navigate, location is great, too. Super showers. Ample parking. $45 for a month unlimited for new folks. Whatcha waiting for? read more

Even as a first timer in this studio, I felt very welcomed. The instructor did a great job explaining small changes to make a huge impact in making it a better stretch. Felt confident in her ability to lead the class allowing for greater relaxation into the poses. Great mix of class, from beginners to masters, allowing the ability to visually see what to do if becoming lost in what going on. Very comfortable place to be, very inviting, was pleased that other member actually say hello to you as well. Great environment to practice. Only wish I wouldn't have waited to join due to my own hesitation. read more

Be Yoga Burien is such a positive experience!! Every class I've been to, the instructors have offered incredibly motivating instruction. In Hatha, it is peaceful, intentional body connection. In barre, it is high energy positive power. This is my first week and I'm so inspired by these work outs. I see immediate toning results on my body after only three classes. The front desk has also been incredibly welcoming and warm. I love everyone there, and the energy of this organization. read more

I'm a new yogi, I wanted to mix up my strength training/running with something else so I bought a groupon to check this place out! I got unlimited classes for a month for $32. Give this a go before choosing to commit to a membership! I think you'll get 10% off any package if you purchase after your groupon expires. I've heard horror stories of hot yoga studios with carpet. The idea of sweat soaking into the carpet and the smells... sounds disgusting to me. Burien Bikram is my happy place! There's no carpet, the studio is clean and spacious, the bathrooms are also nice. I've attended classes with Katy, Jessica & Nina. All of these ladies have been helpful, and genuinely very nice. I love coming in and seeing their warm smiling faces. What's also awesome is that they try to remember and learn your name so during class, you'll hear encouraging words or advice. "Pivot your hips a little more, Monica. Good!" It's very subtle but I know getting a little bit of help with the poses really makes all the yogis feel more confident about having good form and doing the postures correctly. Hot yoga is on the pricy side, but well worth it once in a while. I feel extremely relaxed just to sweat it out and stretch. I'm still committed to lifting weights but mixing it up once in a while is fun!!! If you're looking for a hot yoga studio, come on over! read more

Completed my 7th hot yoga class last night...and I find myself craving to go back the next day! At first, it's a lot to take in, especially the heat. You're sweating in a way that seems impossible and your heart is beating like a drum. Your towel is drenched and your hair becomes an unattractive frizz ball ;-) But...something dramatic happens after a few classes. You feel it - you feel "focused" like you never have. You no longer think about the heat..you find yourself holding poses, using your leg muscles and having a staring contest with your reflection in the mirror. As if everyone else in the class has disappeared. Take the unlimited 1-month offer. Go when you can...stay in the room, sit when you need to (they really really encourage that!!!) - and trust me....less clothes is best!!! And forgo cotton! The instructors are encouraging, even funny at some points in class when they describe the posture. Every instructor has helped me before class with specific questions. And...they offer a late class for people that are at work 9-5. 5 stars - no question. read more

I've experimented over the years with different forms of yoga generally in the Capital Hill/Queen Anne/Ballard neighborhoods and it always felt intimidating and slightly competitive, then I discovered Bikram Burien and it all changed for me. From day one I knew this would be the place I would be able to see myself blossom in the art of yoga. The atmosphere is serene as well as welcoming to everyone, no matter what physical limitations you may have. I think it is truly a blessing to have such a positive environment for all to share here in the heart of burien. read more

I can't believe it has taken me this long to write a 5 Star review! I have been coming to Be Yoga Burien since it was Burien Bikrim. I love everything about this place. Thank you Nina for creating such a warm studio full of good community vibes! read more

I came here for the first time with a friend who had never taken a Bikram class before and was immediately taken aback at how clean and fresh the entire studio and lobby and changing rooms were. Coming from an equally clean studio in SF, this was a breath of fresh air and a welcomed surprise. I absolutely adored how big and open the studio itself was and really dug the cool synthetic rubber flooring. As for our instructor, Katy [great name, by the way] was an absolute gem. Not only was she confident in her dialogue , but she also expressed a sincere level of compassion when providing additional instruction to my newbie friend. The yearly membership is an absolute steal of a deal [then again, coming from San Francisco, my frame of reference might be a *tad* off for the rates of comparable amenities in the Pacific Northwest]. I come up to Seattle often enough for work, family and friends that I could definitely see myself returning on subsequent trips. Why the heck not? read more

I recently moved out here and began searching for a yoga studio nearby. I tried out a couple places but ended up getting a membership here. The staff/instructors are so welcoming and inviting they made it an easy choice. The classes are wonderful! The times are great and you can adjust each session to your level that day judgement free. Be Yoga Burien gives off so many good vibes, I try to be there every chance I get. So I felt compelled to leave a review and share the love. Absolutely recommend!! read more

Been away from yoga for awhile and I've re-started here in Burien. BY is a great studio, friendly staff, and conveniently located. Heidi is one of my favorite teachers, but there's lots of good instructors here. I also appreciate the availability of the night classes and early morning Saturday classes - as a working father, this helps a lot! read more

This is a great local studio, not many in the area to choose from, but this is a solid hot yoga studio. I miss going I haven't gone since before Covid.The limited class sizes and schedule are not a fit for me right now, but hopefully it will normalize over time. Namaste! read more

I have always loved Be Yoga Burien, but I moved away from the area. Recently signed up for the virtual membership and I am so glad I did. Loving all the instructors, and I needed the community aspect again bc it was just getting to easy to not stay committed to my home practice and bail out of workouts early. The instructors and other students are keeping me motivated and excited to recommit to my practice. Definitely recommend in studio AND virtual classes! Thanks BYB! read more

super friendly staff, nice facility, cozy room, felt very welcomed!

I don't recommend this studio. There are a ton of rules and it feels strangely micromanaging. A few of the teachers are really good, but the managers/frontdesk ask fairly invasive questions when you show up. They also misadvetised for a Groupon and turned me away for class on Christmas Eve. The energy is off. I recommend you find another studio. read more
