It was my first or second week of yoga classes in the studio. I felt a little overheated during the…read moreclass and went to lay down on a wooden bench in a hallway. I didn't walk around or touched anything, just lay down on a bench to cool down a bit. The studio Manager (who is also a yoga teacher was in the hallway at that time) approached me and began expressing concern for my health and suggesting that I take some easier classes. Which is wonderful and understandable, thank you very much! Then she said the following: "Another reason not to leave the room during class is that people might feel uncomfortable with you being around their belongings. I'm not saying that you would steal anything, but they might be concerned because they don't know you." Just like that, almost word for word - I have an excellent memory. When I eventually spoke my mind on this topic (in email), the Manager sent me a long email full of explanations. She was clearly standing by her words, even repeating them, justifying them by saying that stealing has happened in the studio before. In the same email, she informed me that my studio pass is being terminated and I'm not to return to the studio. Let me tell you about myself. I'm an immigrant speaking with an accent and a white-passing person of color; I work in Higher Education. I've told this story to many of my colleagues and friends. Everyone is in disbelief and asking me - did it happen here, in our state!?! Yep... If the management of this studio believes that I was not treated in any irregular or unusual way, and if they stand by their comments, they should turn their words to me into a studio policy for everyone to consider, not only me! It could go something like this: "Coming outside the room into a hallway during class is discouraged. One of many reasons, people might be uncomfortable with you, our lovely and valued customer, being left unattended around their belongings. Unless they know you, of course! BTW, we are not saying that you would steal anything, no-no! Don't get us wrong! We're only expressing what others might think of you!" :-)

This is my 3rd review TRYING to get someone's attention!!!! Stop charging my card. I've called my…read morebank and they cannot get the payments to stop. The studio clearly doesn't answer their phones or check their voicemails. This is horrible customer service and I'm pissed that I'm having to pay $89 per month for a studio that I haven't been to since 12/2023. Do not sign up for automatic payments. I made a 1 YEAR commitment and they didn't hold up their end of the deal. I don't know if the management is taking advantage of people or are just not paying attention. I regret signing up and I will continue to leave bad reviews until the company makes things right.

The teachers of the studio are amazing, so please understand this is not about them…read more All of the classes are super fast advanced, which is fine. Nobody forces you to try and keep up. However, their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced! I found another yoga studio last year that was more my style, but had a year commitment to them so I continued to pay until January, when I had told them I wanted to cancel. It is now March, they are still charging my account. I have called, I have left several messages, I have sent several emails. I have never had someone get back to me. I am angry, as I cannot afford to pay for two yoga studios at the same time, nor should I have to. I am going to report them to my bank as fraudulent.

She advised it was ok for me to start yoga while pregnant but she did ask for a doctor's note which made me think they really care about your wellbeing :). They have this special for new students where you can go as many times as you'd like during the first month for just $30, which is pretty awesome. So far I've tried a couple of different classes with Lydia, Michala and Cara and they've all been amazing. I most definitely will keep going to Leela's!

I have practiced at dozens of yoga studios all over the PNW, and Leela is by far one of my…read morefavorites! The owner, Lydia, has done a wonderfully cultivated a space and atmosphere that are warm, open, and peaceful. She is one of the best Vinyasa teachers I've ever learned from and fully embodies what yoga is truly about: inward connection through asana, pranayama, and leela (play!). It seems there are many phony studios these days that focus solely on fitness and lack the essence of true yoga. This is the rare exception! If you're on the fence about trying yoga or a new studio, I really recommend trying a class with Lydia at Leela. You won't be disappointed!

Sweaty hot chicks in yoga pants that ACTUALLY get used for yoga? Do people bring in their own adorable mats? Will I look like a fool? Confidence, right ;) Guess what? It was freaking awesome! I was instantly comfortable with the instructor Cecelia (Ce). She is so knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. I never for an instant felt awkward. Only the sweetest people go to Include Yoga & Exhale Pilates from what I can tell. The studio has a great vibe overall! Whatever your fitness level or goal I'm certain you will get the most out of your time at Include Yoga. Seriously. Go in and take a class or two. There are tons of options for yoga in the greater Seattle area and I had such a hard time making a choice. Probably why your here too. Well, I work in Seattle and live in Kirkland yet I picked a place in Bothell ;) That's because of key words in Yelp reviews at the studio where Include Yoga is- Exhale Pilates. A real down to earth place where people can get a great workout.

I am not flexible…read moreand also am very fidgety, so I didn't think Yoga would be a good fit for me (from the little I knew about it). I am also someone who really hates exercise. My view on Yoga and exercise have taken a 180 turn, and that is due to Ce and her classes. Ce is so patient and makes sure that I am in the right positions; I have found that I have gained flexibility and that I'm never bored with the Yoga classes. Cecilia works hard to make every class different and focus on different areas of the body. Not only have I lost weight and gained muscle tone, but Ce is helping me correct bad posture, and strengthen muscles I have never used. Cecilia gives special care and attention to every client, and her friendly and calming nature makes her classes somewhere I want to be; I am enjoying exercise for the first time. I really like that Cecilia uses many different formats and props in her classes, such as TRX, exercise ball, Tye4, etc. The classes are smaller so that you get personal attention and can easily see her demonstrate each pose and exercise. I highly recommend IncludeYoga, and also love that there is online signups and that you pay by the class.

Kirkland is completely inconvenient and out of the way for me, but I'm willing to make the drive any time in order to attend Anna's class. She is intelligent, sweet, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the practice of yoga during pregnancy. I love the way the class is structured, beginning with a check in and conversation about various pregnancy related topics, breathing and meditation exercises, prenatal yoga practice that is specifically tailored to each person in the class, and savasana to end. The class usually goes about 20 to 30 minutes later than scheduled, which means you're really getting your bang for your buck ($14 per class for a 10 class package). This is such a wonderful, healthy way to stay active during your pregnancy, and also prepare your body for labor and delivery. Prenatal yoga has helped alleviate my back pain, improve my circulation, and even help with digestion. It's also a great way to relax and de-stress, and provide some quiet time for me and my baby. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. I will really miss this class when I'm not pregnant anymore!
