I visit a lot of yoga studios and I mean A LOT! Because I've taken classes for so many years, my expectations are high. I'm not looking for perfection but for a safe and thoughtful session with challenge and great transitions. I was thrilled, when based on only 2 yelp reviews, I was able to find an amazing place. First of all, Donna, the owner and teacher was very welcoming on the phone. She totally got that I was in town for work for one night only and never put the sales pitch on me. She just wanted me to come and get the knots out of my back after a six hour drive. Her studio is stunning. From the stained concrete floors, to the gray blue walls that changed colors as the sun was going down to the amazing wood cathedral ceiling with gentle lights strung across the room, I felt ensconced in comfort. I saw the shelves fully stocked with yoga equipment. The music was soothing. The participants, who were clearly "regulars" went out of their way to greet me and made room for me. She made a quick announcement about an upcoming event where a master yogi was coming to town and encouraged the group not to miss this event. We started class. Her directions were clear, easy to follow and she moved from one part of the room so we all knew what we were doing next. One pose was totally out of my range because my hip flexors were so tight from the car ride. She came behind me and gently got me into the pose. It was awesome. I felt fierce and accomplished. The final resting pose was capped off when she placed a cool, clean stone on each person's forehead. I had never experienced that before and it was lovely! She's moving to a new place. I will definitely track her down. PS the class price was totally affordable and worth every penny! read more

Donna and her staff are fantastic. Heated yoga classes are just what I need a few times a week to loosen up after hard gym workouts. The power vinyasa flow will push you and stretch you like a good yoga class should. It's challenging, but awesome! The center is a relaxing atmosphere and class instructors are always helpful with form and poses. They have a lot of class options too, whether you want a really difficult class (power vinyasa) or a more relaxed yoga experience (restorative, yoga spa) they have it all. You'll leave here feeling rejuvenated and relaxed!! read more

Blue Sky Yoga - Front of studio - Yoga Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

Blue Sky Yoga is a fantastic place to learn yoga or continue to develop your practice in a loving, gentle, and supportive community environment. Donna Ponder, the owner, has a heart of gold. The studio offers a variety of classes: power flow, yin, kundalini, meditation, sound baths, and more....something for every level. All of the teachers are wonderful. This place is my home away from home. I moved to Monroe a year ago, and Donna took me in with open arms. Blue Sky is a place where I can get some good physical activity, but also a place for me to find solace and quiet my overactive mind. I've found friends here and tapped into a beautiful, open-minded community of yogis in Northeast LA. Namaste y'all! read more

I took advantage of the $30 for 30 unlimited days special when I started yoga. Donna, the owner, was sweet as pie. She was a great a teacher and she answered all of my questions. During practice the teachers would correct my poses if needed (I like that). The facility was clean and cozy. read more
