In a culture overrun by cold, gym-style power yoga studios, InBliss is my sanctuary. Warm, unique,…read moreand unpretentious, this studio welcomes all humans with a loving embrace. I mean it! They have one of the most diverse groups of students you'll encounter, and no matter where you are in your practice or physical abilities, there is a class for you. You'll find no judgement here. Nothing about InBliss feels like a business, rather, a safe space to recharge my batteries and deepen my yoga practice. I felt from the very beginning that they truly cared about me. Something I particularly love about InBliss is that they aren't afraid to dive deep - things like chanting, sound bowls hands on assists, and breathwork are just a few experiences I enjoy in every class here - and those things are becoming more rare as cookie cutter corporate studios are popping up all over the city. Matti, Starr, and the rest of the teachers are deeply knowledgeable, but also genuine, generous, and kind - always making me feel truly like a part of their community. If you're considering giving InBliss a try, their pricing is VERY reasonable, making yoga accessible to more people. They have an amazing new student special, as well as some of the lowest monthly unlimited yoga memberships I've seen. We are SO LUCKY to have such a perfect place in the northland. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

We came for a group event and we got to enjoy the back room space. Their essential oils really set the atmosphere and their no shoe policy keeps things clean and calm.

Overall a wonderfully owned business & ambiance. Ooooohhhhhmmmmm.

The instructors are all very kind, knowledgable, and make it a welcoming space for everyone. It doesn't matter where you are at in your pilates journey or what your strength level is, the instructors will work with you and let you take it at a pace you are comfortable with. I have a injury that has limited me with other types of exercises, but as long as you let your instructor know before class, they will make modifications to accommodate you. While Pilates is low impact, you will notice the toning of muscles you wouldn't normally workout with other exercises! Highly recommend coming here!

Housed in a building that was once part of Kansas City's film row, I had a good feeling as I walked over Joan Crawford's and Jean Harlow's stars on the sidewalk leading into the building. (both screen queens spent their formative years in KC... wow, I have a way of fitting that into many reviews, don't I?) The studio is on the second floor, down past the check-in desk and hallway where you'll find the bathrooms and an alkaline water system. The studio itself is lovely, with bamboo floors and all kinds of wall hangings and statues around the room with Ganesh and other Hindu deities, which automatically makes me feel happy. The room has lots of windows, which allows for natural light and they like to keep the temperature to 80 degrees. No, this is NOT hot yoga (not a fan, personally), but you will sweat. Personally, I do like having windows open, letting in fresh air and fans, but I think I'm in the minority as I haven't found any studios that have this kind of thing. Most classes are taught by Kathleen and Wade, the husband and wife team that own Maya Yoga and both are approachable, strong instructors that will push you as far as you need to be pushed, while not going too far. It's noted on the schedules which classes are more for beginning students, by the way, so take note of that if you are a beginner. Having fallen out of regular practice, I mixed it up a bit to get back into it. I've taken a combination of classes, although not those in the morning or evening (ashtanga) which are really for those who have some background in yoga. I don't love ashtanga, but I did take two intro classes with Wade and he really does a great job of easing you into this challenging practice, for many of us, would take years to be able to do a lot of the asanas to their fullest benefit. Keep in mind, yoga is a practice and it's not about who can do this or that pose or asana. It's hard for most Westerners, as most of us are looking to be "good" at it (myself not excluded). What I've always found interesting is that you can be an absolute beginner but able to do some challenging poses with ease, like from when I started yoga many years ago, I found ankle to knee pose to be a piece of cake while a good portion of seasoned practitioners struggle with this. Meanwhile, I've still yet to be able to put my hands flat the floor when doing a forward bend. Kathleen's Tuesday midday Vinyasa class is perfect and definitely challenges me (hello splits! Still can't do those, either), while keeping me in good practice for those poses that come easier (Yay, backbends!). Today we had a really fantastic sub named Gwen and I need to see if she teaches other classes, because she was a blast- really down to earth, really helpful, but again, it's not gentle yoga (which she teaches as well, to seniors. How awesome is that?!) I come from a Vinyasa and Kundalini practice and ideally my practice combines both. Maya doesn't offer Kundalini, so I'll probably be going elsewhere for that, but I am really happy that I found a yoga studio that I love for Vinyasa!

Colleen is an excellent instructor! I have attended both in-person and by Zoom. The classes are a…read moregentle mix of yoga and pilates, which is good for me as a 72 year old in reasonably good shape. Colleen is very thorough in instructing and uses lots of imagery ("imagine your spine is a string of pearls") which helps foster the learning to know one's body. In the studio she is very attentive to each student and watches to assist poses. The space is warm, clean, visually appealing, and orderly. The classes I attend are restorative, I would say, where some props are used. This is not the tpe of class where more time is spent arranging than actually engaging your body.. She also instructs in how to modify a pose or movement and givers space to do that depending on your needs. What has been helpful for me personally is stretching of muscle groups, and the attention paid to moving hip and shoulder joints which are often problem areas for seniors. Yesterday's session involved legs and hips--"drawing circles on the ceiling", doing bridges, and more than I can't recall right now. We also take time to shake out muscles after movement. Within 12 hours I had some relief of pain, which says a lot about the benefits of this work.

The ambience is fantastic, perfect for a relaxing experience. I felt welcomed and at home, the space is small but don't take that as a negative sign. The space accommodates 12 people comfortably, this allows the instructor to have time for one on one. The front wall of the yoga room has a garden for you to enjoy during your practice, helps when trying to find something to focus on. I went to a group yoga session and had a lovely experience. The instructor makes time throughout the session to walk around and aid any of those in need. She genuinely cares about our success and experience in the practice. It nice to see this, especially in a full class like ours. She has a beautifully personality that makes people gravitate towards her. She not only teaches yoga but offers 2 hour tai chi massages... something to try in the future. My only complaints would be the hours, most of the sessions are in the daytime and not many options for late evening.
