My instructor is the reason I keep coming back. She's incredibly encouraging and always finds a way to motivate you through the tough moments in class. She pays close attention to form and will correct you if you're doing a movement wrong, which made a huge difference in my progress and has helped me avoid injury. What really stands out though is that even after two years of regular classes, she keeps finding fresh new variations, new challenges, and new ways to think about the same movements. It never feels repetitive. If you're looking for an instructor who actually care about your progress and keep you engaged long-term I can't recommend Daphne enough!

If I could give Just Pilates STL and instructor Katy Linck SIX stars, I would! I can't say enough…read morewonderful things about this studio - from its fantastic $99 new client package that includes a private intro session and four group classes, to the convenient class times and location, a helpful app for scheduling classes, and a GREAT community. It all flows from a caring and welcoming owner in Natalie. I'm a beginner, but all classes are for all levels. Katy's been my instructor from day one, and she's continuously helping us do our personal best that day, offering modifications along the way in a completely judgment-free, fun and supportive way. I've done two classes a week since starting and will likely add one more. I've been looking for a place like this for so long and still can't believe how it checks all the boxes. Run, don't walk, and join!!

This is my first pilates class so I don't have anything to compare it to but I enjoy the workout…read moreand the instructor is the owner, who is fun. I stretch in places I never thought I needed to and workout areas that normally do not get moved around that much. All of this is done without "breaking" me. It is a warm and inviting environment as I am NOT in shape but I have been here 5 times and have felt improvement each time I come. They have a deal for new people which is crazy good so it is worth at least giving a try. They are in the same building as "Just Dancing." TLDR: Worth at least trying. A non-judgmental environment. Good teacher. Off of Manchester near old Staples building near 141.

I've come to Katie's 9:30 FLOW class the last few Saturdays since I moved here, and each one has…read morebeen fun, thoughtful, and exactly what I was looking for - even though I didn't know it before class. She is effortless in her teaching, and speaks as if she's a friend guiding your body from shape to shape. There's no pretense to her presence, just authenticity and a true passion for what she does. I moved away from a very strong yoga practice and community back home at a studio I adore, and this place already feels like home away from home. The practice space: Thoughtfully appointed with a laid back feel, it's a perfect space to flow. The ceilings are tall, light is abundant, and there's plenty of wall space for an end-of-class legs up the wall savasana. Juicy. Lots of plants and greenery, plus wood and gauzy curtains that lend a very breezy energy. At a glance appears to have space for 15-20 mats (give or take). Logistics: There's one restroom shared by a few wellness businesses in the communal hallway. Entry to the space requires walking up a flight up stairs - there's no elevator that I've been able to find. Parking: Ample street parking - and directly across from Schnucks, so it's perfect to get some weekend or evening grocery shopping done after class. Extras: The community seems to interact with one another and know each others names and faces. Very friendly studio, options galore. Lots of options given and all levels of experience in class. Can't wait to keep coming back again and again!

I researched yoga studios and loved the feel and messages on Shanti's social media feeds. That was 2022 and now I am a devotee and found an AMAZING community that goes beyond the mat. The teachers inspire me, the two locations are designed to transport you into a zen state of mind, quality equipment, and creative workshops. I could go on and on, but looking forward to my upcoming 200th class and beyond!

This studio…read moregives you that warm fuzzy 'local community' vibe (they even sell local artist goods in the lobby if you're interested in a 'one of a kind' statement necklace)! The classes are offered in a beautiful brick building (wood floors, big windows) on what I would consider the 'Main Street' of Lafayette Square. Plenty of parking in front of the studio or nearby. You have to travel through a small alley to get to the door (which is quite romantic... you can smell incense burning as you approach the studio's entrance). All of the instructors are friendly, helpful, and set a good pace for class. A couple of my friends enjoyed their experience with the studio so much they decided to complete the 'teacher training'! It's been fun to attend classes they host now to see how much their practice has developed!

If you're even questioning if you should drop in to a class at Southtown Yoga, the answer is YES…read more Beginner or advanced, ST Yoga gives a full yoga workout that will not only stretch you and relax you, but you'll also feel the burn. This week I went to a hot yoga class with my husband and his niece (she's a regular here) and although I've done regular yoga, glow yoga, aerial yoga, and yoga on the rocks, I had never done hot yoga so I was game. And I also hadn't done any form of yoga in quite a few months so I was a little weary since it wasn't clear what the ideal experience level was. We signed up online which makes the process quicker since you don't have to fill out any paperwork when you arrive. As soon as we got there we jumped in line, paid for our class ($7 cash/$10 card), kicked our shoes off, and found a space. The class filled up quickly so I'm willing to bet, late arrivals won't get in... which isn't a bad thing. I absolutely loved the studio we were in. The windows look out to Park Ave, but they do have a screen that blocks the sun from beaming down on you (I mean you're already going to be hot enough... you don't need the extra help). I like the whole design of ST Yoga in general. They updated just enough to make it comfortable like the nice finished bathrooms and changing areas, but they left a lot of the original features in tact like the wood floors and the large pane windows. What I love the most is that you enter ST Yoga through the back which takes you through this cute bricked alleyway... it truly feels like a secret that you're being let in on. So hot yoga. It was fast paced and hot. It was clear that it was going to be hot-hot and not just luke warm as soon as we walked in. I didn't mind it, but you'd be crazy if you didn't bring a water bottle (or two) with you. There is no pressure to push your body past it's limits, but more so to listen to your body and know when you can challenge yourself. And any reservations I had about going to a class that could potentially be an advanced class were washed away when I realized any advanced moves instructions were accompanied by instructions for modifications. 100% recommend! This was a fantastic workout that was both challenging and meditative. All of the staff was helpful and welcoming. Oh and they start off their Om's with this little accordion type instrument (different than any studio I've been to, but everyone was on the same key so it sounded beautiful). ST Yoga is a great place for any level yogi and they offer a range of different classes along with some pop up events so you can really find your niche at this studio.

Each class is different, well paced, and provides you as much challenge as you want to try. The patrons are friendly as well! As a single guy, I'm always a little apprehensive trying a new yoga studio as I've been to some that have been cliquey. But not here!! The energy is great from everyone! It is well priced for the studio atmosphere and the classes. Their website and accompanying app are easy to use and classes are easy to schedule. If you're looking for a neighborhood yoga studio to either try yoga, or like me, get back into it, I'd most certainly give them a try!

This may be one of the worst yoga experiences I've ever had. There are so many things wrong with…read morethis place. I bought an unlimited one month pass because I practice daily and am home for winter break from college. This is unfortunate because after my three terrible visits, I no longer ever want to step foot into this facility again. I was unfortunate enough to attend classes with Lynn and Chris. Lynn's classes were boring and redundant and even dangerous. At my first class with her, she asked around if anyone had any injuries, to which I have a stress fracture on my foot and several yogis had shoulder injuries. With this information she still made it a point to include intensive poses for one legged balance and shoulder stands. Why did she even ask if she wasn't going to change her class to fit our needs? I attended two classes with her in total, and every one of her classes are the same. Same poses, slightly different order. She also likes to spat out sanskrit without giving her students a clear indication as to what it could mean, which is just plain pretentious. Chris started off the class stating that in order to have a true practice, we must follow our flow the way we feel we should have it---that is, to form our unique practice. Whenever I diverged from whatever pose or sun salutation she wanted us to do and did my own variation for it, she would lash out and verbally draw attention to me (or other students who were also deviating), stating that I needed to do exactly as she said and not to "disrespect the sacred flow". I have had many, many more experienced instructors than her, and never had I had anyone do the exact same vinyasa nor force one onto their students. As far as hot yoga goes, Lynn doesn't even teach in a hot environment, and I would hardly call an 85 degree room "hot". If they want to advertise their yoga to be hot, it should be 100 degrees or hotter. The rooms are nicely decorated and painted for a soothing visual experience, however, the walls have sweat marks from students, and the floor in the "hot" room is carpeted which retains unpleasant odors. They offer complimentary hot tea, which is very nice, and their facility is tidy. Yogasource offers $1 mat and towel rentals. There is no indication that they sanitize their mats.
