It is definitely my church because the class is really mind body spirit. Suszanne is one of the most thoughtful, intentional yoga teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. This woman drops wisdom bombs. I always leave the class remembering the deeply profound things she says. I appreciate the vastness and anesthetic of the space. I also think it's very charming she always has hot tea waiting prior to class. A true staple in the community!

I have always had good experiences with any teachers here, but I must shout out Shemaia for her teaching methods in particular as hers is the class I attend most frequently. She melds together an active and yin practice so beautifully and really encourages us to do things in our practice that will help us age gracefully which I really appreciate. Of course you can't go wrong with any of the other teachers either, Peggy is an icon, Geneva brings the most juicy yin classes and Brother V's tea class is the only one of its kind around.

Great studio. The style of yoga taught here has foundations in 26+2, but Sean curates a practice…read moreentirely his own. Having done 26+2 and hot vinyasa at various studios across the country, I can say his classes are some of the most challenging I've ever encountered--if you want them to be. While his mastery and passion demonstrate what is possible for the human form, he cues the class in a way that is encouraging to beginners and builds on foundational movements; it truly feels like, and is, a class for any body. His lighthearted personality brings a sense of playfulness to the entire experience. One of the older reviews mentions a dungeon-like atmosphere and carpet... the current studio is beautiful, bright, and clean with natural hardwood floors. No showers available and only a single bathroom- the only reason I'd rate it 9.5/10 stars.

I went to 2 classes, Sunday a.m. was good, the Saturday afternoon gentle was not that gentle... if you ask me.

Not only is it a visually beautiful space, but all the goodies are curated and feel so special. The palette of the yoga clothes is right up my alley and the body care and jewelry are so lovely! They carry some of my favorite local brands too like the Kiskanu line and Sea to Seed jewelry. And not to mention the floral arrangements, even the bathroom has the most gorgeous foraged arrangement - every corner of this space is deliberate and lovely! Last but not least - the instructors are so amazing! I've had a chance to meet all of them and they are all so wonderful. I've been to classes led by Alexandra, Hailee, Allison, Sarah, Tamra & Cheri and I love all these women. Stoked Vibes is part of our community! And I can't wait for my next class!

Robyn Smith changed my life! I had been in chronic debilitating pain for over a year, having…read more suffered with back, shoulder and neck pain for most of my life. I had tried everything; massage, chinese cupping, chiropractor, acupuncture, myofascial release, herbs, dietary changes, western medicine and still was suffering everyday. I scheduled a private consult with Robyn and in our very first session, not only was I was completely relieved of pain, she was able to restore range of motion in my neck and best of all, she taught me how to maintain my pain free status with exercises I could do at home. After a couple more 1:1 visits I was able to start exercising again so naturally I began attending yoga classes at Inner Freedom Yoga. I love the Anusara style of yoga that they teach, their focus on proper alignment, the use of props and the way they help everyone to feel comfortable no matter your prior experience with yoga, or lack there of. I love Robyn's classes and have been pleasantly surprised when she has been out of town and I got to experience the other teachers too. I value the differences that each teacher brings to class - history, stories, the magic of a well placed tennis ball, words of wisdom, interesting points to reflect upon, and more. Namaste.

I enjoy both of these instructors very much. Robyn is tender, her approach is restorative and and I can transition into poses with ease. Patrick's Tuesday night class has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zones for growth, and he is very sweet and supportive. I would recommend anyone to this wonderful space and take advantage of the great teachers and programs our community has to offer. The center offers mats, blankets, blocks and straps for anyone who doesn't have equipment. Music usually is lightly playing while the class is going, which I enjoy. Robyn offers 10 classes from IFY instructors for $85, which I took advantage of for sure!

The staff there is great and the place is clean.

Because it's ran by predators. Joe Genova is the the biggest one of them all. If I had a dollar for every young girl I witnessed this man groom, or heard stories of him grooming, I'd be at least $20 richer. Do not let your underage children into this joke of a gym. Honestly, stop supporting these as*holes all together if you care about keeping your community safe. The higher ups have known about Joe Genova's behavior for many years and have never done anything about it. The paper trail is thick. Joe Genova is a walking lawsuit and if Hellsport knows what's good for them they'd boot his pervert ass to the curb and yet they keep him around which makes it far easier for other predators to work at and work out at this sh*thole.

I left feeling prepared to teach and this is a direct result of everything Liz and Alison taught us. Thank you, Soma Yoga Institute, for preparing me to be successful.
