I actually really like the atmosphere that this transformation lends to the space. Rather than the classes taking place in a sterile, commercial-feeling multi-purpose room with tons of mirrors, they happen in what are actual rooms, each of which has real hardwood floors, as well as big, beautiful windows, which allow natural light to enter and enhance the mood of whatever class your attending. The staff and instructors are all very friendly, and each of them is willing to help you get the best out of your practice without ever being condescending, which is definitely a problem I've encountered at a few other studios. I'd recommend attending one class of a few of the different instructors before deciding upon whose classes you'd like to attend on a regular basis. If you're a new student, check out their $35 dollar pass for 5 classes. You can purchase it from their website after making an account, and will allow you to hop from instructor to instructor to make that decision.

They are the only yoga studio in the GNO area I could find that still offers prenatal yoga. I was quickly reminded what a warm and welcoming studio Wild Lotus is. The class is varied every week, and really helps me stretch and stay in shape as I prepare to give birth! It's nice to be in a class with other expecting mamas. My only suggestion would be to offer perhaps a weekday evening class as well! Often my birthing/childcare classes are on Saturday mornings so I do have to alternate weeks. I don't know if Wild Lotus ever offered the cold aromatherapy wash clothes at the end of class for the face. I remember going to a prenatal class with a friend 10 years ago elsewhere, and that was one of my favorite parts; I would not hate if Wild Lotus offered that! :)

As a registered yoga teacher myself, I have had the opportunity to learn from many instructors over…read morethe years, and Gabriella is one of the most exceptional teachers I have ever encountered. I first met Gabriella at NOLA Yoga Fest, where I attended one of her inversion workshops. I was so impressed by her teaching that I began attending her weekly handstand and inversion classes and have continued to do so consistently ever since. What sets Gabriella apart is her remarkable ability to truly see her students. She can watch someone move for only a few moments and identify exactly what is limiting their progress, what adjustments need to be made, and what specific drills or techniques will help them improve. Her understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, and skill development is extraordinary. She seems to have an endless toolkit of exercises, progressions, and creative approaches that allow every student to work at their own level while continuing to advance. As a teacher, I am especially impressed by her effectiveness. Many instructors can create an enjoyable class. Far fewer can consistently help students make meaningful progress in a complex skill like inversions. Gabriella does. She has an incredible ability to break down difficult movements into understandable steps, and she knows exactly how to challenge each student appropriately. One of the things I appreciate most is that Gabriella expects her students to work. Her classes are not passive, and they are not built around making everyone feel comfortable all the time. They are built around helping people improve. She is not a teacher who babies students, but she is a teacher who invests in them. If you come to class ready to learn, listen, and put in the effort, you will be challenged, supported, and given the tools to grow. Beyond her technical expertise, Gabriella is an incredibly effective communicator. Her verbal cues are precise and easy to understand, her demonstrations are both beautiful and instructive, and she creates an environment that feels focused, encouraging, and empowering. Complex skills that once felt intimidating become accessible under her guidance. I have maintained a dedicated yoga practice for years across Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga traditions, and Gabriella remains my favorite yoga teacher I have ever studied with. Every class deepens my understanding of movement, and every class leaves me with something new to work on. The progress I have made in my inversion practice is a direct result of her instruction. In a fitness and yoga culture that often prioritizes feeling accomplished over actually developing skill, Gabriella is refreshingly committed to genuine progress. If you have the opportunity to study with her, whether you are brand new to inversions or an experienced practitioner looking to refine your practice, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I decided to give FSY a try based on its positive reviews. Geoffrey is so warm, welcoming, skilled, relaxed, and kind. He makes a point of learning who everyone in his classes are by name. He truly is like no other yoga teacher I have had before. There isn't any pressure to compete with yourself or others in the class - but don't let that fool you into thinking that you will not get a fantastic workout. Every time I leave from one of his classes I feel invigorated. I can see the growth and change in my body and my practice. I have also taken classes with Heather and Brooke that have been equally amazing. You really utilize props in the classes to help facilitate your practice and grow (including chairs, blocks, rope wall, belts). I cannot put into words how much I love this studio. It absolutely is in a league of its own. Highly recommend to everyone! Beginners to the most experienced of yogis! Namaste

I arrived around 15 minutes prior to class so that I could get situated. I met Giselle, who was the instructor of the class, also helped to check me in and acquaint myself with the studio. The studio was beautiful. Even before I walked into the studio I noticed the lovely glass mural of the yogini in camel pose. Everything felt intentionally placed. The lounge area made the place feel warm and inviting. There was plenty of cubbies. The practice space was warm and toasty when I walked in. I got a great sweat through the class, but I didn't find it unbearable. It certainly didn't get to Bikram temperature, which is around 105 degrees. I loved how Giselle's class was like a slow flow. You don't have to move quickly and dynamically in vinyasa to feel like you're putting in the work. You can hold the asanas for several breaths and still feel challenged especially when you're activating every muscle in your body. Giselle offered functional cues and many modifications, which was awesome because it makes the poses accessible for everyone. I would highly recommend her class for all-levels.

Our yoga session took place at the upstairs art space at Treo (which I had been meaning to check out as Pauline and Stephen Patterson can do no wrong in my eyes) so when I heard that I can check somewhere off my list, get in a workout, AND it included sangria, I was game. I was expecting a meditation focused class but it was quite the opposite. This was a fast-paced class that moved through poses quickly enough that I actually broke a sweat by the end (this never happens). The women who run it (Baye and McKensie) come through the room to gently adjust your posture (which is super helpful and I love it!!!!) and even offer a cool, lavender scented compress after all that hard work. No other Treo events on the calendar yet, but I will definitely be checking them out now that they offer FREE classes at Tchoup Yard!

That's over 100 physical therapy sessions, over 100 chiropractor visits, weekly massage, dry needling and the occasional accupunture. Nothing worked. And it took only 1 Iyengar class to relieve my pain entirely. I couldn't believe that I didn't have any pain for a whole week and I have gained full mobility instantly just like that after one class. I mean... I thought this would only happen in movies...right? I am not new to yoga. I practiced Kundalini and a bit of flow before, however my experience with Iyengar was much different. Next day I was sore on the muscles which I didn't even know that they were there. Now it has been several months I have been practicing Iyengar on my own everyday and once a week with the class. My back feels solid as long as I keep practicing. I just have to keep up with it. I sit a lot for work so if I let my Iyengar practice go for a few weeks my back reminds me my priorities. I have only done classes with Solange. She is very knowledgeable, attentive, and she truly cares for your wellbeing. I am eternally grateful for her kindness. I am confident that this studio will help you achieve your goals whether they are physical and/or spiritual.

I am no yogi but my take is that this style uses lots of props (straps, blocks etc) and is really good for realignment when your body is out of wack. From time to time, they offer free classes for newbies so I took a class last week. They were really nice and the teacher was very thorough. I like the style of yoga but it is not the workout that I'm looking for and for a kind of yoga that places so much importance on form, I thought it was odd not to have mirrors. However, if you are not looking to sweat and burn calories but want to have a more therapeutic exercise session, this is a good studio with excellent instructors.
