This studio - from top to bottom & everywhere in between--is incredible . I was totally blown away…read moreby my first free class here at Practice. For starters, it is a gorgeous, impeccably designed space. It is calming and welcoming, & every interaction - from greeter to teacher--was warm. The yoga room is lit by candlelight & heated with infrared technology. As someone who found the heat of bikram to be kind of suffocating, this infrared heat truly (as advertised) felt like sunshine. The studio does offer classes of varying degrees of difficulty & experience, but my experience was with the fully-guided primary Practice Flow. As an introduction, I am as far from a yogi as Saturn is from Earth- years of sports have demolished my joints & overtuned my tendons, & I can hardly touch my toes (& the use of the word "hardly" is generous). As such, I was somewhat intimidated to take my first free Practice Flow at Practice Saturday morning. I was worried everyone in the class would be incredibly flexible & amazing & bend circles around me. & honestly, if there was a third party watching the class from the ceiling, they very well may have been! However, throughout the entire class, I did not even notice. Class at Practice is truly a personal experience. You become so tuned in to your own body you do not find yourself searching the room for inspiration or competitors. The room is filled with encouragement & light. It challenged me & awakened a love for yoga I never knew existed. Tommy -the teacher of the class, & studio owner- is fantastic. He is encouraging & takes the time to correct form if it is lacking. He was positive the entire time, which, as a far from perfect perfectionist, I completely appreciated. If you prefer not to be adjusted at all, there are cards available at the front desk that you can leave on your mat & indicate such. The music was great - not overpowering. I felt energized & positive when I walked out the doors of Practice for the first time, & I can hardly wait to enter those doors again. Thank you, Practice & Tommy, for an amazing class!

All experience levels and all fitness levels. There is no right or wrong posture at The Yoga Garden. You don't have to be "good at yoga" to get the good from the yoga at The Garden. It's about showing up, focusing on your breath, taking amazing yoga classes with phenomenal yoga teachers, amongst a community of kindhearted and loving individuals.

Quite a bonus is free ample parking; hard to come by in this community. If you're looking for a place to get the most amazing practice, that one hour of time for yourself, even if that means just lying on your mat and focusing on your breath... this is the place for you.

The whole mantra of the place is to make sure everyone's seen, but staff has their favorites, not everyone's welcome in well established cliques, and those who aren't on the in are made sure by staff to know they aren't. Never felt more in high school than when I did going here. 0/10 recommend.

These may not be the most beginner-friendly sessions*, but if you're looking to really get out of your mind and into your body THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Definitely worked up a sweat! *There are modifications available for every yoga flow, but I do think the pacing leans a bit toward intermediate level. Even when it is difficult or taxing, the instructors are bright and cheerful, so it never feels like the flow has been replaced with running a drill. I saw some beginners in my class that were doing fine, but knowing my tolerance at the beginning of my practice I may have tapped out and opted for something lower intensity. I heard wonderful things from friends and am very very happy I tried this studio! Will definitely be returning for more! Love, love, LOVE this place!

First, I purchased a new student class pack with a short expiration period. I came down with the…read moreflu and asked for an extension and they never responded. Second, I took a Hatha class and mentioned to the teacher that I just started Ashtanga yoga last year and the studio closed. She said very sarcastically "This is not Ashtanga yoga!" Which made me feel unconformtable. Third, the class had 0 sight lines. You cannot see the teacher. Direction was very wishy washy. Fourth, I won't be coming back.

The space is really lovely, warm & welcoming, as are all the staff, front desk, owners, teachers & classmates.

I'm very happy with the instructors I've had & am constantly learning & challenging myself, which I really enjoy. Being part of this beautiful community of yogis means a lot to me & I've met some wonderful people here. Thank you, Namaste!
