The room was nice and toasty for class, and the instructor guided us through a series of poses that cleared my mind from a hectic day of work.

Where do I begin. Well, after driving from NJ to Raleigh NC area, I needed some yoga. I am fairly…read morenew to yoga but after doing about 10 classes, my joints feel better. My buddy in NJ got me hooked on hot yoga and so far I've taken about 7-8 of hot yoga classes too. Now in NJ hot yoga is a dry heat. Fast forward to NC and the hot yoga at Firefly is another animal. The room is heated with like humidifier steam...you can literally see the steam in the room. When class starts the steamers are turned off and that heat is on in that room! I saw 2 other objects in the room and maybe some heat was coming from them too. Oh did I mention the temperature outside was already about 95 degrees. I think the room itself was 100 degrees. The instructor William was amazing. He has a very calming voice and because the class was so intimate he knew I was never in his class and another woman as well. She was from Philly and I was the Jersey girl. William welcomes you and makes you feel very comfortable. We progressed through the moves slowly but intensely. William also walked around the room to correct form and help you to get deeper into the stretch. When the class was done corpse pose aka: savasana felt so GOOD! I loved the ice cold towel they give each student at the end. The studio is hidden. At first I thought my GPS was wrong. Have you ever seen the movie Deliverance? Yes, think that movie. The studio is inside of a like country club/retirement community/pool house...just weird but it's beautiful. The yoga place when you walk in is on the left and there is an attendant at the desk. There are locker rooms and showers...the yoga room is upstairs door on the right. I purchased a 2 week deal for $25. I am in town for 3 days but you can't beat the deal. So if in the Cary/Raleigh area check them out and make sure you're able to take the heat! Good place very good place.

Looking forward to others.

Judith's yoga classes have complimented my…read moredoctor's recommendation for physical therapy and strength training to heal my ongoing lower back and hip issues. With her instruction of yoga I'm pain-free all-day for the first time in years. It's a yoga class that truly teaches to many levels each and every time so I can customize my workout to what I need that day and also challenge myself when I'm up to it. Judith has also mastered the virtual format and offers a quality online class so I feel like I can continue signing in at home without feeling like I'm missing anything from in-person sessions. I also love the meditative tone of her classes that don't seem over the top or religious but give me something to reflect on throughout the the day.

I really enjoyed my time at YoBa Studio. It's quaint, inviting and the staff is amazing. I'd first…read morevisited YoBa on a class pass and I thought very highly of it then and the 2nd time was even better. I've experienced 2 different instructors and both were patient & encouraging, I even cried in one of the sessions because that particular practice resonated with me so much. The studio is very clean. The bathroom was in impeccable shape. They offer some amazing products for cleaning up too one in particular that caught my eye was the Indie Lee Product. I didn't bring a mat but I was able to us one of theirs, the fee is $2. They offer a wide variety of drinks and I heard someone raving about the coconut water. Signing in is easy and quick. You just find your name and press check in. The cubbies are in the front and they lock the doors during a session to ensure safety of your things. Overall the studio, class instructors and staff are amazing. Such an amazing place to do yoga in Raleigh. Ps, there is plenty of parking too.

I first started going when they first opened and had to take a break due to work schedule etc. I recently joined back and it was like I never left. Instructors remembered my name and for those who didn't know me, quickly introduced themselves and made me feel right at home. I was blown away on how quickly everyone remembers your name.. it's a small thing.. but to me it, it made a world of difference. It's proof they truly do care about getting to know their community. I signed up for the yearly unlimited pass and could not be happier with all of the classes they offer. They have been extremely safe during covid, making sure everyone wears masks. The studio is super clean and they offer hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. If you're wanting to be a part of a local Yoga community that you're always welcome in, look no further. Now more than ever we need to support local businesses and this one has been top on my list! Thank you YoBa!

If you're looking for a welcoming and relaxing yoga studio in Durham, look no further than here. They offer a variety of yoga classes to suit all levels and preferences. The instructors are knowledgeable and attentive, and they create a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, you'll find a class that's perfect for you at Yoga Off East. The space itself is beautiful and peaceful.

I had tingling in my upper right shoulder/neck area and after following her stretches for 2 weeks, it is gone. This is more than my massage therapist accomplished. On days when I feel tense, we do restorative yoga and I leave feeling peaceful and energized. I receive personal instruction from her about 2x a month. I know individual classes are more expensive but if you do your "homework," you can get a personalized program designed just for you and I find that it works better than attending group classes. (She also does group classes if that is your preference.) I feel better both in mind and body due to her guidance. I can't recommend her enough!

So this is a review for the new teacher classes specifically and needs to be noted (but also seems…read morelike what some others have experienced before too with other classes) Lori made sure I knew where to park and was really helpful. I really hate that you have to pay for parking on days outside of Sunday and therefore, I probably won't go to the studio during a weekday or Saturday for that reason. I understand that Franklin Street is pretty busy, and it's not really their fault but it's just a financial inconvenience. I really wish that the instructor would've been doing the movements with us. It seems like others have taken classes, and the instructor doesn't necessarily participate. I feel like this helps with pacing and understanding when holding a pose is on the brink of being too long (maybe I'm just not as used to holding warrior 1&2 for so long in any classes I've taken but my quads were about to give out. If they aren't doing the pose with us, I don't know if they can tell when a pose is too long. The studio itself was very cute and very clean and well organized with a ton of supplies available for students. I really love their choice of music which was very calming and wasn't anything crazy. I love at the end of class they give you a little eye mask and by the time we went into meditation at the end, I completely forgot where I was and was zoned out, which was awesome. I'll be interested to see how other teachers do later on and how their pacing is. I also completely forgot my mat at home and was very thankful when they offered me a borrowed one!!
