Recently, hot yoga has been my exercise of choice (something about being in a 90 degree room in winter hits different). I was looking for a new hot yoga studio on the west side of Cleveland since it is closer to where I live, and came across Inner Bliss on the Mindbody app. The drop in classes are $20 but the 5 class pass is $68, and the price discrepancy convinced me to buy a 5 class pass even though I had never been to the studio before. Luckily, I made the right decision! I'm a fan of the Hot Power Flow Yoga classes here (my favorite instructor is Sally!) They are challenging enough where it feels like a good workout, but the environment is still a safe space so I don't feel judged if I need to take a break. Some hot yoga classes I have been to focus too much on hitting specific poses/binds/balances that aren't conducive to all experience levels, but I haven't run into that problem at Inner Bliss. I will definitely be repurchasing more classes after my 5 class pass is used up. read more

My first time going to this location in Rocky River since I normally go to the Westlake location. The ambiance here is great and very different from the Westlake location. It's a little older and on the second floor. Older floors and a little uneven but it all adds to the ambiance. read more

Last time I reviewed INY I had only been once. Since then I have gone about a million times. I love going to their hot powerful yoga classes. At first I was really nervous I wouldn't be able to cope with the heat but it really is incredibly invigorating. Granted, it definitely isn't for everyone. If you're considering it though, I highly recommend giving it a try! What's also awesome is their Thursday 2pm classes are only $5! That's 1/3rd of the regular drop-in price. Unfortunately, it's not a hot/warm class but it is open to all levels and is a great way to calm down and de-stress at the end of the week. Seriously check IBY out, hands down the best yoga studio in CLE. read more

Inner Bliss Yoga Studio - Their space - Yoga Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

I arrived at my first ever yoga class the day Inner Bliss opened the Westlake studio, in August 2012. I came to the mat seeking a physical challenge, a new kind of workout. But what I found was a sacred place: the smiling faces, soulful music, heart-opening smells, warm hugs, sacred words, life lessons, deep breaths, new friends, and of course: the yoga itself. The Westlake studio is a little more modern, while the Rocky River studio has a more rustic feel. Both have awesome teachers and a wide variety of classes! I love the beautiful ecosystem Tammy has created at Inner Bliss Yoga, and I recommend it to everyone I know :) read more

Inner Bliss rocks! The teachers are great! Not only are they supportive but they kick your butt in all the right places. The hot classes are my thing and the more I sweat the more thankful I am. I try to make it to 2-4 classes a week and while I don't know many of the other students it definitely feels like a community. For those that don't practice or have had limited experience practicing, you will definitely get a workout here! It's not just stretching but the cardio is in full effect. Okay...I know, yoga is about the breath...but let's be honest, most of us like to get in a good workout too. So if you can strive toward calming your breath while holding these poses, you'll experience real bliss. read more

I have made it a point to experience different instructors here. In short, all of them are fantastic. They just have different styles. Slow Flow with Kimberly. Calming meditations and reflections and very good instruction. Relaxed pace. Great music choices! Hot Yoga or All Levels yoga with Jennifer. Prepare to get your ass kicked! Jennifer will challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone and push yourself a little. Pace of the class varies from fast to slow transitions. Great meditations as well. Hot Yoga with Shannon. Like the others, she offers great meditations and good instruction. Shannon has a quiet confidence about her. Her classes offer a range of poses from challenging to approachable. Hot Yoga with Tammy. Just like Jennifer, Tammy's classes are challenging. I was completely dripping after her class. She will definitely challenge you and she tends to hold poses longer than other instructors. She is highly instructional as well. You will definitely need a Yogitoes skidless towel for your mat to prevent slipping in your own sweat. Tammy has a calming presence about her. The *only* reason I don't give Inner Bliss 5 stars...Parking is extremely limited. Classes are jam packed. It is mat to mat in there. And people don't tend to respect the quiet conversation once they enter the room before class starts. They do at the location in Westlake...not sure why they don't at this one. But truth be told, there is a great energy here and the people you practice alongside are dedicated to the practice...no Groupon types "trying" yoga for the first time. I will go back. $13 drop in which is less expensive than the regular $15 found at other studios. read more

As 2 very new yogi's my boyfriend and I wanted to try out a class that specifically denoted that it was for all levels. We went to a Sunday morning warm flow class for all levels and we really liked it. The instructor, Robert, was very kind, and helpful. He often times would do many of the moves near us so that we could follow along, and even helped our form a few times. We appreciated how welcoming he was! The studio was very nice and inviting. The lights were off, quiet music was playing and candles were lit. I LOVED that this wasn't "hot" yoga, but it was slightly warmer than room temperature, which helped us get a good sweat on. Even though we really didn't know all of the moves and positions, we were able to catch on and didn't feel too out of place. At the end of the class I did ask Robert if there was more of a beginners class so we could learn the poses, and he informed us of a yoga 101 workshop that they offer once a month, so my boyfriend and I both signed up! I give it 4 stars because the gentleman working the computer at the front desk was not that kind or welcoming. He sort of let off a vibe as if we shouldn't be coming to this studio if we've never done yoga before. We've all tried something new before where we feel out of place, and he made us feel that way for sure. Definitely not pleased with his rude attitude, but overall our experience at the studio and with the instructor was great! We will be back and hopefully will have other instructors as friendly as Robert! read more

I hate to sound like a dork, but Inner Bliss is...Blissful!! I attended two "Yoga Flow for all Levels" classes with Gina (who I love and whose class "themes" always speak to exactly what I need) and left each time feeling so much lighter, spiritually. Again, major dorkdom, but it's true. Yoga in general makes you forget the daily nonsense and just be mindful of the moment, allowing your thoughts to just fade away until you are one with your body and your breath. Geez, who am I?@?! Anyway, tried the notorious "Hot Yoga" yesterday with Kristen, and it, too, was wonderful. Something about the heat makes it easier to flow with the movements and stretch deeper. It was really intense, yet Kristen is so joyful and invigorating that it didn't really seem like we were being tortured. She kept saying things like, "Wow, GREAT poses, everyone!" which makes me think she might have been ignoring my sorry excuse for standing split when she said that. Hehe. Generally I go to yoga not because I am "good" at anything but because of the feeling during and afterward. While the Hot yoga is considered a "powerful flow" (a little more advanced), I felt that it was non-competitive and I would go again despite my inability to do some of the more advanced poses. I would recommend the Yoga Flow for All Levels class for just about anybody. I am also looking forward to going back to take classes with some of the other instructors, because their website bios all sound so interesting, and they each bring something different to the practice. Add a little extra time traveling there the first time; it is sort of hidden in a corner beneath an overpass, in a building with other offices. (There is a small sign that advertises Hot Yoga in the parking lot). read more

Cleveland would not be the same without this yoga studio. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about the students. They are there to personally help each student throughout the class with poses and breathing methods. It's a relaxing atmosphere and a great place to relax and destress. The options of classes make this studio even more exciting; from hot power yoga to slow flow yoga to yoga by candlelight....a Saturday night favorite. read more

Have you ever attended a yoga class that left you with the feeling of a whole new body? Invigorating, right? What if I told you that there is a class on Sunday mornings at a beautiful yoga studio on the west side of Cleveland that might, indeed, leave you with a whole new lease on life? I visited Tammy Lyons' hot yoga class one Sunday morning. I walked in feeling tight, groggy, and grievous as I was in town for a funeral. I left with ten less dollars (spare change compared to other studios' charge) and a renewed outlook on my life and my place in this construction zone of a world. If you haven't tried yoga before, this class is not for the faint of heart. There were pregnant ladies practically showing me the exit door, they were so flexible and svelt. But the class is not intimidating at the same time because Tammy's instruction is very calm and meditative. You do what you can, even if you can't manage all the inversions (e.g. handstands and otherwise). The heat didn't really bother me because it got progressively warmer, but not unbearable. It's definitely worth a try if you haven't considered this approach to yoga before. The studio itself is very clean and inviting. Lots of natural light and plenty of room for coats and shoes outside the studio. I didn't bring my own mat and there were heaps of them for borrowing (for free), which was another nice perk. read more

Great experience at Inner Bliss, was a little tough to find, but other than that it was great. It seems like a great tight knit group of people. Make sure you check out the hot yoga class. I will definitely be going back! read more

My absolute favorite yoga studio in the Cleveland area! For someone who had just been getting started, this studio was incredibly helpful and very welcoming. Because the studio is rather small, it allows the perfect interaction with the instructor making you feel very at-home. There has not been any instructors in this location I haven't loved, which makes going such a better experience. Compared to other yoga studios around Cleveland this is probably one of the best with how many different time options there are! Unfortunately, it is a rather pricey choice which is the only drawback I have to this studio! read more

Rocky River: Great local yoga studio, good teachers. Really appreciate the hands-on adjustments that are provided throughout the classes. Excellent hot yoga in the mornings, though the temperature could stand to be even hotter :) Appreciate that they offer a 6am class every weekday. Classes are full, but not uncomfortably so. Only suggestion would be to turn down the music - it can be hard to hear the instructors over the music and blowing furnace at times. read more

I have nothing but kind words for Inner Bliss! I had little to no yoga experience before jumping into a class at Inner Bliss and the teachers were so patient and kind! Two years later and Inner Bliss is still the studio I enjoy practicing in on a weekly basis. Restorative Yin is the best stretch relief after a week of hard CrossFit style workouts. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, everyone that works in the studio is there to help you grow your practice! I love Inner Bliss and I know you will too! read more

This is my favorite Yoga studio in the Lakewood/Cleveland area (and there are so many!). I've been a student here for a couple of years now. I go through periods where I practice a lot here and periods where I do more home practices (really it comes down to money). It's not cheap, but worth the price in my opinion. Investing in my health and wellbeing is something I will always spend money on. I love the option for a Hot yoga class, which is why I always end up going to Inner Bliss. The Hot class is especially wonderful in the cold winters here! I've only experienced excellent classes at Inner Bliss. The teachers are top notch. It's such a treat taking a Yoga class at a Studio so it's quite the splurge for me. But I have to say it's worth every penny! The schedule is diverse with plenty of options to practice. read more

I practice Yoga at Inner Bliss 4 to 5-times a week. The powerful flow classes are truly amazing. ALL of the instructors have a slightly different style but they ALL are consistently great. They constantly are changing their classes so that you do not get tired of the same old routine. Physically the powerful flow classes are challenging for me. But besides being a sweaty mess at the end of the class I also find that it helps me mentally relax. When I started doing Yoga 2 years ago I was a mess. My wife had left me, I was 65 pounds heavier than today and I was not a happy person. The gentleness and care that the instructors provide certainly was instrumental in helping me to a better place. Namaste' Ted read more

I LOVE this place! I went to the Wednesday night Beginners class and it was awesome. The space is so relaxing and inviting, you totally leave all your little stresses behind when you walk in. Dawn was the instructor that night and she was great, so was the assistant. Although it was the Beginners session, it was still a thorough class and challenging at parts. The little bits of hands-on assisting were also helpful. I felt lean and limber and totally refreshed after just an hour. I can't wait to come back and try another class! read more

I took the Saturday 7:30am hot powerful yoga which wasn't as hot or rigorous as the baptiste style I'm used to. The all level class had a great flow that wasn't too fast or repetitious. The staff and students were friendly. There's a free parking lot. At the entrance to the class room is a store where you can buy Lululemon clothes, books etc. there's a fee for water bottles. I wish there was a big water bottle (especially for the hot yoga classes) where you could fill up your water bottle and a tip jar to help pay for the water. There was a bathroom I used to fill up my water. read more

This place is legit, totally soaked in yogic vibrations. The Best teachers in Cleveland offering the most challenging and supportive classes. Come early to get a good spot! read more

Inner bliss is easily my favorite place for yoga. Beautiful studio with many different types of classes offered from slow flow to hot powerful yoga. Very friendly employees and a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere! read more

Tuesday night hot yoga was amazing. Welcoming teachers and students, beautiful space. I plan on making it my new Tuesday night thing. Highly recommended! read more

You cannot go wrong with any instructor. Warm, welcoming and you'll leave feeling amazing!

Absolutely love this place. I started going to IBY when I lived in Lakewood after trying out several other studios in the area. The classes are not intimidating at all. I have tried the slow flow, hot slow flow, and yoga for all levels. I would not call myself a yoga master at all, and I find the teachers hands on assistance helpful for any modifications needed during class. I have since moved to Strongsville and I still make the drive to this studio! There is nothing in my area that even comes close to this place! I recommend this studio to everyone. read more

This is a great place to practice yoga. Nice peaceful location, easy to access, and great yoga teachers. The Friday and Saturday classes can be a bit crowded because this place has become so popular. Definitely recommend their kundalini yoga and gong meditation on Sunday nights. read more

This place is fantastic (to say the least). There are a ton of classes everyday so you can always find a time slot that fits in with your schedule. I've been to a lot of different 'Yoga Flow for All Levels' classes and every teacher I have had has been great. I'm relatively new to the studio, but it really does feel like a community. Everyone (teachers and students) are super friendly. Bonus: they have a store in the front with yoga clothes and accessories. The only negative thing about this studio is I wish they had a 'monthly unlimited' class package. Otherwise a great place to go on the westside for your yoga fill! read more

I have been practicing at Inner Bliss since 2009. Just when you think they can't keep up their high quality of instruction, they keep on getting better. Terrific teachers, a wide array of classes, great facilities (Rocky River and Westlake) incredible customer service. The teachers are skilled, caring, and intuitive. In each class, the teachers encourage you to explore your edges, but also meet you exactly at your ability level. There is no "fail" in yoga at Inner Bliss as long as you are breathing, open, and mindful. This is a people business, and because of the people who make up this organization, you are guaranteed to walk out feeling better than when you walked in. Props to every member of Team Bliss for creating a consistently wonderful experience to practice yoga, for first timers and long time yogis alike!! read more

Though I began visiting Inner Bliss 5 years ago, I didn't fully appreciate how LUCKY I was to find this studio until I moved away from the west side and was forced to try other yoga studios on the east side In my opinion, none of them can hold a candle to Inner Bliss. The owner of IBY walks the walk, and her classes are beyond uplifting (both physically and mentally). She is a role model for entrepreneurs in the city of Cleveland and she is a gifted teacher with a big heart. The yoga studio itself is always beautiful, peaceful, and inviting. The receptionists are beyond kind, welcoming, and helpful. The teachers are skilled, creative, and motivating. A class at Inner Bliss feels like a full body and mind experience. I think my favorite thing about Inner Bliss is the fact that no two classes are ever the same. The teachers take the time to create new, innovative, and energizing flows for their students, change their playlists, and give clients a truly unique experience each time. You can tell that they truly love what they do. They also provide strong, helpful, and loving assists to deepen your practice. I took these things for granted in the time that I spent there, and I can't wait to move back to the west side so that I can call Inner Bliss home again. read more

Moving back from Chicago----what a relief to find this place! All of the classes I have taken are good but if you are looking for hot.....Tammy, Lanie, and Justin are all classes I loved! Definitely worth it. I also love the location----feels very city like in the lofty space. read more

I've traveled near and far and NOTHING compares to this place! The music, the atmosphere, the teachers are spectacular. I don't live here anymore but I miss this place so much!!! The effort that Tammy L. Puts into this place is noticeable. I always walk out of here feeling stress relieved and like I got a good workout, thank you! The positive reinforcement they give during each pose is greatly appreciated. Love it! read more

I have only been here once since my time is so limited, but I absolutely loved it and had a wonderful experience. When I find more time I will def be going here more often and recommend it to everyone who enjoys Yoga. read more

I have been going to inner bliss yoga ( IBY) studio for seven years. I had never done yoga before and was immediately welcomed into a home. No judging, no expectations just a place to be me and learn the practice of breath and movement. I have traveled all over the world to different yoga studios and I keep coming home. Nothing compares to the atmosphere of IBY. Both studios have a warm, welcoming feel, clean, with options to buy yoga clothes, and jewelry. They offer a variety of classes at various times throughout the day and evening. All the teachers are amazing with each having their own unique style and music. If your purpose is to build strength and get your sweat on then a hot powerful vinyasa is the way to go. If you are looking for a more restorative vinyasa then the all levels or slow flow is for you. IBY is best all around yoga studio in the CLE. read more

Love, love, LOVE Inner Bliss! It's a great experience all around physically and spiritually, even if you're not really into that. :) No matter what your experience level, there is a class for you that will increase your strength, flexibility, and inner bliss (get it? :). read more

Great studio space with a really nice selection of apparel and other assorted yogi goodies. Couple of noteworthy things- classes get crowded, so signing up in advance is a good idea. Also, some GPS have a really hard time placing the studio - we circled the hood in an uber for a good 10 minutes. And on that note, they let us into class 6 minutes late which was MUCH appreciated. The class itself was a little boot campy. I'll be curious to try a few more instructors. read more

I practice at Inner Bliss twice a week and absolutely look forward to every practice. The staff are always warm and welcoming and it's hard to find a great "hot" yoga studio in Cleveland. I'm blessed to have one only a few minutes from work! Tammy is the bomb- her Tues/Thursday hot classes are challenging, yet allow you to be mindful of what brought you on the mat to begin with! I'm so happy I found Inner Bliss and feel honored to practice with such amazing people! read more

I love Inner Bliss Yoga Studio. What an awesome exp. yes! certainly embrace the bliss. The yoga instructors are awesome! This is a place of community for me. read more

This studio is absolutely fantastic! I am college student who has been home in Cleveland for the past few weeks. I have always wanted to try yoga, and I felt like there was no time like the present to give it a go. Well, I went to my first class (it was the Basic class) taught by Jen, and I really loved it! The atmosphere is very non-threatening, and Jen is a fantastic teacher. The perfect beginners class! All of the lovely people who work at the studio are SO friendly and made me feel right at home. Also, the studio is beautiful and very peaceful. It was defintely a wonderful introduction to Yoga. After trying out some other studios in town (and not enjoying them quite as much), I went back to Inner Bliss to try their HOT Powerful Flow class. Though it was a little advanced for me (Hey, I've only taken 5 yoga classes), I still got quite a bit out of the class and definitely worked up a good sweat. There were all different ability levels in the class, so it still wasn't intimidating or anything. My only qualm is that it is pricy for my college-student budget, but you really do get what you pay for at this place. If I could afford it, I'd go to class every day! I definitely recommend this studio. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, GO TRY IT! read more
