The infrared saunas are bookable in one-hour time slots, and you get your own private space with a changing area and a shower, a sauna with Bluetooth connectivity, and wellness shots to take at the beginning and end of your session. If you want to come with a friend, there are two-people saunas available as well. There are different yoga and pilate classes available. However, space is limited. My guess is that the room can only hold 10 people, which is nice if you prefer being in a small group. The facility is clean, and the staff is nice. I have done a sauna session and taken a yoga class. The sauna session was relaxing, and the yoga class was a good workout. My body felt great after each experience.

I've taken classes with three different instructors now at Maya Yoga and I can safely say, I'm a…read morefan! Housed in a building that was once part of Kansas City's film row, I had a good feeling as I walked over Joan Crawford's and Jean Harlow's stars on the sidewalk leading into the building. (both screen queens spent their formative years in KC... wow, I have a way of fitting that into many reviews, don't I?) The studio is on the second floor, down past the check-in desk and hallway where you'll find the bathrooms and an alkaline water system. The studio itself is lovely, with bamboo floors and all kinds of wall hangings and statues around the room with Ganesh and other Hindu deities, which automatically makes me feel happy. The room has lots of windows, which allows for natural light and they like to keep the temperature to 80 degrees. No, this is NOT hot yoga (not a fan, personally), but you will sweat. Personally, I do like having windows open, letting in fresh air and fans, but I think I'm in the minority as I haven't found any studios that have this kind of thing. Most classes are taught by Kathleen and Wade, the husband and wife team that own Maya Yoga and both are approachable, strong instructors that will push you as far as you need to be pushed, while not going too far. It's noted on the schedules which classes are more for beginning students, by the way, so take note of that if you are a beginner. Having fallen out of regular practice, I mixed it up a bit to get back into it. I've taken a combination of classes, although not those in the morning or evening (ashtanga) which are really for those who have some background in yoga. I don't love ashtanga, but I did take two intro classes with Wade and he really does a great job of easing you into this challenging practice, for many of us, would take years to be able to do a lot of the asanas to their fullest benefit. Keep in mind, yoga is a practice and it's not about who can do this or that pose or asana. It's hard for most Westerners, as most of us are looking to be "good" at it (myself not excluded). What I've always found interesting is that you can be an absolute beginner but able to do some challenging poses with ease, like from when I started yoga many years ago, I found ankle to knee pose to be a piece of cake while a good portion of seasoned practitioners struggle with this. Meanwhile, I've still yet to be able to put my hands flat the floor when doing a forward bend. Kathleen's Tuesday midday Vinyasa class is perfect and definitely challenges me (hello splits! Still can't do those, either), while keeping me in good practice for those poses that come easier (Yay, backbends!). Today we had a really fantastic sub named Gwen and I need to see if she teaches other classes, because she was a blast- really down to earth, really helpful, but again, it's not gentle yoga (which she teaches as well, to seniors. How awesome is that?!) I come from a Vinyasa and Kundalini practice and ideally my practice combines both. Maya doesn't offer Kundalini, so I'll probably be going elsewhere for that, but I am really happy that I found a yoga studio that I love for Vinyasa!

The studio is warm however the instructors were not (which surprised me). Maybe it's because we had a groupon and are not regulars? who knows.. We positioned ourselves in the back row since we were not familiar with their sequencing or how they ran their classes. The instructor was pretty intense for a beginner class and was a bit too serious for me. Don't get me wrong it was a challenging class and she knows her stuff but the yoga vibe of love, peace and Namaste was not abundant as at other studios.

Once we were able to attend classes again, I was very impressed by their dedication to keeping their clients staying safe and feeling that they were in the right hands. I have been attending classes - a few of which are free! They have 2-3 classes a week that are free to introduce you to the studio and to the art of yoga! Following their social media and keeping in touch with the studio will help you figure out when these classes happen. One of my favorite classes that this studio has to offer is "sculpt." They incorporate weights into a traditional yoga setting. This turns the class into s a full-body workout. As a male, there are times where I may not "fit in" to yoga and fitness classes, but here I felt welcome. I feel that this is a workout that other males may also benefit from. They have sessions throughout the entire day. Be sure to check the schedule and plan ahead of time as spaces fill up.

I spent the summer in Kansas City and when I asked for hot yoga studio recommendations in the area…read morePower Life came up quite a few times so I decided to get a week pass. I'm not new to yoga, I'm not new to heated yoga, I'm not new to HIIT. I attend 3-5 heated vinyasa classes a week when I'm home. I signed up for a midday "Hot Yoga" class, literally, that's the name of it. Were there some references to yoga poses? Sure...but that was the extent of the yoga element. The class was heated, so they got that right too I suppose but this was not yoga. There was no emphasis on the breath or correctly getting into poses and utilizing your strength. If you want a HIIT workout and to "feel the burn" then this is the class and studio for you. If you're hoping for heated, thoughtful, meaningful vinyasa this is definitely not the spot. I didn't love the "pep" talk the teacher gave as class got started either, "what are you hear to sweat away today? What are you working for?" Yikes. The people working were friendly and the gal teaching was well meaning I imagine and kind, I'm sure she's not in charge of naming the classes or writing the descriptions. Parking was easy. The studio was pretty and clean. Large locker rooms too.

The donation based yoga really builds a sense of community for this studio. I want to keep this place a secret, but this place really deserves 5 stars and to thrive!

This is a great studio. I'm visiting from San Francisco/Oakland and needed a place to practice. I…read morechose here only because of the proximity, however I was completely impressed. I can honestly say it was one of the better yoga experiences I've had in my year of practicing weekly. The studio itself is perfectly designed. Calming and simple. Some nice murals and a wonderful water sculpture. The lights were left low, which is my preference. The class itself was a standard vinyasa flow. The teacher (I forgot her name, but she is an owner) definitely knew what she was doing and led the class confidently but with a nice sense of humor. The set was challenging in just the right way. For the poses I knew were be beyond my current practice, we were offered alternatives. My favorite aspect of the studio is that they keep the spiritual aspect of the practice in place (but not overbearingly so). You are reminded to stay present. You close with OM. I have a hard time with teachers who treat this like its solely an aerobics class. This is not the case here. Planning on going back any time I'm in KC.

They have one of the most diverse groups of students you'll encounter, and no matter where you are in your practice or physical abilities, there is a class for you. You'll find no judgement here. Nothing about InBliss feels like a business, rather, a safe space to recharge my batteries and deepen my yoga practice. I felt from the very beginning that they truly cared about me. Something I particularly love about InBliss is that they aren't afraid to dive deep - things like chanting, sound bowls hands on assists, and breathwork are just a few experiences I enjoy in every class here - and those things are becoming more rare as cookie cutter corporate studios are popping up all over the city. Matti, Starr, and the rest of the teachers are deeply knowledgeable, but also genuine, generous, and kind - always making me feel truly like a part of their community. If you're considering giving InBliss a try, their pricing is VERY reasonable, making yoga accessible to more people. They have an amazing new student special, as well as some of the lowest monthly unlimited yoga memberships I've seen. We are SO LUCKY to have such a perfect place in the northland.

Check the website before you go: http://www.innerspaceyogakc.com/ ** They have a generous new-student two-week special. I tried the special when I was in the Hyde Park area this summer and went to as many classes as I could fit in. I go back now when I am in the area or when I have out-of-town yoga-loving friends who I want to impress. I took a friend who is a New York yoga teacher, and she was totally won over. Same reaction from several other friends I have brought with me to a class at ISY. The owner's artistic abilities shine in this place. I remember loving the GREEN that is in the studio with beautiful plants in the entrance area. Laura's classes were OUTSTANDING. She courageously started the studio and lends her love of the practice to everyone who walks in the door. She has created an environment, a space to be completely relaxed and go deep into the practice (if that's where you are) or dip your toe into what yoga is all about. She is so thoughtful and kind with her instruction and demeanor. All the teachers were welcoming. I learned something new or heard an instruction in a new way and would return again to any of their classes. I would highly recommend Kelly. Her brilliance in the art of yoga is only matched by her caring instruction and dedication to her students. If you can make her classes here or see her name on a line-up at another studio or yoga event- you want to do yourself a favor and GO! So, no, I'm not related to anyone involved, and yes, I clearly recommend this place. To anyone. Newbie on up. Oh, and come 5-10 minutes early if you can. It's really good for you to get your moneys worth and ease in. **I did not add specifics on time or schedule or prices, as that is really clear on their website and postcards, and can change with time.

Not to mention, her playlist is on point! Power Life has several membership offerings including free walk-in classes. Sometimes they run a 30 days for $30 special.

I've done yoga before and actually had a membership at a yoga studio in LA in the past, but after not doing it for 2 years, I was a little apprehensive to get back into it.

She was very clear with the instructions and with only 9 attendees there, she was able monitor us and made comments/tips to help us get the best out of the class. She was very personable, nice and had lovely stories to share. It was a very personalized class as opposed to feeling like she made it the same for every class. All the mats, blocks, straps, blankets, and pillow were available to use for class. Perfect for those who don't have all the equipment! Facility was clean and the bathroom was clean. The Yelp KC Community Coordinator, Kieu, provided healthy snacks and drinks after the class. Thanks for making this event possible!
