Been coming here for a little over a year now, and I can't say enough good things! I was welcomed and comfortable from the moment I walked in. Jonathan, one of the owners and instructors, is super helpful and tailors to his classes to all levels. No matter if you have done yoga forever, have just started, or are coming back from years of not practicing, you will find what works and feels good to you! If you're looking for a yoga studio in the area, check it out! read more

This studio changed my life. I started at Inner Power thinking it was just a physical outlet to do after work. Little did I know how strong it would make me physically and mentally and I stayed consistent and grew my practice to a level I didn't think I was capable of. The teachers here are so observant and pay attention to each practitioner. I never once felt pressured to catch up with the class but was taught to own each practice as my own. Johnathan has to be one of the best teachers I've been fortunate enough to learn from. Jayme, Michelle, Gretchen all have such unique and amazing teaching styles and make yoga feel like your own personal practice- and not a commercial exercise class. That is incredibly important to me. I can't recommend this studio enough. I wish I lived closer to take advantage more often! read more

The instructors are patient and helpful and have made in a wonderful experience for my family who use the studio.

Love Jayme and Jonathan (the owners and instructors) and Gretchen (instructor). They adapted very nicely to the online environment and provide access to a large video library of classes if you can't make the live classes. Jayme and Jonathan respond very promptly to questions or concerns. Their prices are great ($110 for unlimited yoga!) and they are great instructors. Highly recommend anyone looking for a yoga studio to become a part of the Inner Power Yoga community !! read more

Great teachers and atmosphere, super intense classes and very challenging Highly recommend read more

In town for work and found this studio close to my hotel so decided to check it out. Located on the second floor of an office building so I was a little unsure about what I might find but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice studio. Friendly instructor. Definitely recommend. read more

Yoga first appealed to me as the kind of exercise that a former gymnast like me could really enjoy: you get to do acrobatic poses like handstands, work on flexibility, and get a work out that is intense while still being fun. I love that at IPY, while the classes are very athletic and challenge me every time, I also always leave in a better mood and more focused state of mind than when I arrived to the studio. Something I really appreciate about IPY is that Ursula and her teachers all encourage their students to challenge themselves and believe they can reach goals in their practice that they never thought possible, while at the same time balancing a constant "permission" to listen to what our bodies are telling us and take a version of the pose that works best for us at the moment, something that was a revelation to me as a former gymnast. IPY is great is in the details - like the gentle adjustments that instructors make when we need them, the different points of view and details about how different poses work that each teacher brings to his or her classes, and the warm incense-scented ambiance. Above all, Inner Power Yoga is a community full of wonderful fellow students of yoga who encourage each other and make showing up for yoga all the more appealing. The teachers make an effort to get to know each of their students and make everyone feel welcome, and I never feel judged by other students when I can't do something perfectly, or flat out fall over, or even when I am drenched with sweat and not presentable in public. It's just great to find a place like that. read more

I've tried many yoga studios in the area, and IPY is definitely my favorite and has become my yoga home. I started practicing with Ursula somewhere around 2003--when she relocated overseas for a few years, I tried many other studios but none that I liked as much as IPY. All the instructors are wonderful, and there are a variety of classes to choose from. I also like that you can either purchase a class card or unlimited monthly so you can come to class when it works with your scheduled. I actually wrote a whole post about IPY on the DC Ladies, which can be viewed here: http://thedcladies.blogspot.com/2010/11/going-with-flow-finding-balance-with.html for more info about my experience with IPY. If you're looking for a studio to call home, come to IPY--you won't be disappointed! read more

See all

I have been going to Inner Power for almost 2 years now.I am still loving being part of this yoga studio. Apart from great teacher team, this place offers no pressure environment for you to grow and learn. As I had mentioned in my initial review this is a paced yoga you will get a total work out from your abs to balancing your body. The studio itself is a simple, beautiful place you feel at peace moment you walk in. read more

Inner Power Yoga is my home away from home, a respite from the hustle and bustle of NoVa. A beautiful space with natural light, plants and a lake view. The instructors are personable and experienced, each having a unique flavor and approach. From Mysore Ashtanga to Yin and Vinyasa there is a class for everyone at every level. IPY is a welcoming, safe and inclusive yoga community. read more

I reeeeeaaallly like this studio! So with that said, I've been practicing yoga for about two years. Just moved up from FL and not knowing any yoga studios near or far. (Part of the fun though!) Inner power is literally a hop skip and jump away from my house.. So I'd be a super lazy yogi if I didn't check it out. It's the only studio that I've practiced at consistently since I've moved here. (I think that says something!) I really enjoy checking out new studios, and learning new asanas from each but I'll always come back to Inner. The teachers are great, the studio space is lovely, and they have discounts for students! read more

The best yoga studio I've ever been too.. I usually take Ursula's and Gretchen's classes and they are absolutely amazing! The studio is warm and welcoming....just a place to go to learn yoga and ultimately to learn more about yourself. I am still a beginner and do yoga about three times a week. I LOVE doing yoga at IPY and I always come out of a practice clear headed and feeling great! I highly recommend this place - 5 stars! read more

I've been to quite a few good yoga studios but this one is by far the BEST I've been to. The classes, even at their largest, aren't too big, and you get enough individual attention. The teachers make sure to (subtly) correct your posture if it need's to be corrected and are always around to answer any questions you have! All of the teachers are very sweet and teach you a lot, and they learn everyone's names very fast. This studio is very friendly and definitely has a community-feel. I think out of all the yoga studios I've been to, this is the one where I've actually learned the most about yoga and correct postures. Also, plenty of yoga mat's and props! The hot temperature (although not as hot as hot yoga - it's usually at about 80-85 degrees) put me off at first, but once I got used to it I found it was really helpful for stretching my muscles the best.. and it's great for the winter! read more

My favorite place to start the week. I have been coming to Inner Power on and off for a little over a year now, and I am so thankful to have found this gem through Yelp. In my opinion, this is a wonderful studio for yogi's and yogini's of all levels of practice. Each and every instructor has their own unique approach to class, but they all have a similar flow to them- Which is one of the reasons why I love the studio so much. There is a consistency to all classes that will improve your practice overtime. If you haven't found your yoga home yet, look no further then IPY :) read more

Wonderful, peaceful, healing studio with very strong practitioners and instructors! This is a place where one who has been studying yoga for many years can continue to grow his/her practice and find ways to help / enhance / find community. I find this to be one of the best yoga studios in the NoVa area! Thank you Inner Power Yoga for the instructors and all you provide! read more

Inner Power Yoga (IPY) is my favorite yoga studio I've ever been to! I've been practicing yoga for about 4 years and have dropped into studios in several different countries and locally in the area, but IPY is certainly the best. The All Levels class is perfect for truly anyone at any level, with modifications for beginners and options for more advanced poses. At other studios, I've gotten bored with repetitive classes, but teachers at IPY are frequently evolving their classes. read more

This is a long review, but when you're deciding on a place to further a mind/body practice such as yoga, I think it's best to do research and be informed! After a sporadic practice spanning almost 20 years (!!!), I decided I wanted to make yoga a regular part of my life, and I also wanted a bit more of a challenge in my practice. I started dropping in to various studios around the area. After trying several, I found Inner Power. Not to put too fine a point on it: IPY immediately felt like the home I had been looking for: warm and gracious but not overbearing and "gooshy," small but not too small, challenging without being competitive, serious about yoga without being too over-the-top. When I arrived, Ursula gave me the lowdown on the studio (More about Ursula in a minute). The entry to studio is clean and lovely, with a shoe rack and plenty of hooks for personal items. IPY maintains a small boutique near the front desk that sells clothing and accessories for much the same prices as on Amazon.com - i.e., no discernable huge markup. Water is available from water fountains in the building, or you can snag a bottle for $1.00 on the honor system (I appreciate being treated with trust)! There is a sizable curtained-off changing area equipped with hooks and a stool for your belongings. Also available for use are complimentary yoga mats - and though I bring my own, these look to be very high quality and clean! The studio itself is beautiful. Clean pale floors, pale walls, and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows make the room a lovely place to practice. Ample blocks, straps, and eye pillows are available. The room is heated, but the heat-to-humidity ratio must have been carefully determined because it doesn't feel oppressive, even to this perpetually sweaty reviewer. Now, back to Ursula and the other teachers: across the board, this is the finest yoga instruction I've received, and I've taken my fair share of yoga classes. I promised you more about Ursula, and here it is: she is, from first impression onward, one of the most graceful and caring individuals I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. When I say she is graceful, I mean graceful on the mat, for sure, but also in her way of handling herself in her interactions with others. And her caring personality shows itself not only in her classes, where she makes sure to greet each and every student personally and gives gentle but incisive corrections, but her caring is also revealed in all the thoughtful details the studio offers, as well as in her willingness to take time with each and every student. I arrived for my first class without a towel (rookie move, I should have known I'd need one), and Ursula graciously offered me her own - it's a small thing, but it goes to show her thoughtfulness down to the smallest details. Tiffany has a wonderful, youthful energy, but leads class like a seasoned pro. I've also seen her attend classes and workshops frequently, which is great because I love to see teachers continuing to learn (and, if I can't see the instructor, I can follow her)! Also, she gives the most wonderful mini-massages during savasana - I think she has magic fingers! Mariana teaches challenging, super-creative, awesome flows that link the traditional yoga poses in ways I've never experienced before, and it is always so surprising and delightful to see how they come together! Also, she uses wonderful music in her classes, which is a big plus for this music lover. Sylvia is a delight - incredibly charming and funny - and she gives amazing adjustments. She will make you work hard, and work correctly! She truly challenges you to push yourself, but to push yourself safely. And Jessica is amazingly warm and inviting - after class she encouraged us all to say hello to someone we didn't know, and she gave amazing verbal descriptions and corrections throughout class that really kept us on track. Moreover, she seemed to have an intuitive ability to sense when students were struggling with a particular pose, and she would quietly help them (cough, me, cough) in such a non-intimidating way. I haven't had a chance to take class with the other instructors yet, but I have no doubt that they're just as lovely. I have taken the basics, all levels, Friday flow, and Ashtanga classes, and they are all wonderful offerings - I was especially excited to try Ashtanga, and I was not disappointed! So there you have it - my experiences at IPY. I encourage you to visit and form your own opinions! read more

I have been practicing yoga for about 11 months. I went to several other studios and classes before I discovered IPY. I had some "interesting experiences" before coming to IPY and am glad to say I now practice 4-5 times a week at IPY. IPY is a very special studio. They have a strong community and a very welcoming style. The practice is physically challenging but they make it accessible for anyone who wants to participate. When starting out their basics classes at 7:45 PM are perfect. I was initially unsure of the heat but it isn't anything like bikram it is 85-90 degrees so you will definitely sweat but in a purifying, detoxifying, great work out kind of way. Every instructor they have is knowledgeable, open, warm and puts on a great class. They have a diverse community of students and provide an appropriate level of challenge for practioners at every level. I can't believe how I have grown in my practice and how many great relationships I have formed! If you are new to yoga or have been practicing yoga forever IPY is definitely a place you want to check out! read more

I am new to yoga, but was immediately impressed by the warm, friendly atmosphere at Inner Power Yoga. It can be intimidating to a newcomer, but my first class with Ursula was so incredible that I couldn't wait to go again. It's a great workout - I've been about 5 times now, practicing with Ursula and Jessica (both WONDERFUL) and I can feel myself getting a little stronger and a little more flexible each time. It's an inspiration to see all of the experienced yoginis doing amazing things in class and it just makes me want to do more. Prices are reasonable and there are several different classes to choose from. I highly recommend Inner Power Yoga to newbies and yoga veterans! read more

Hot yoga (85 F) is not my thing, but I had such an amazing class here on Sunday with Cyndi (9:30am), I am totally in love and want to come back every week for more. Also the owner, Ursula, is a total sweetheart and if you want to do more of exercise/strength/kick your butt yoga, her class is the one to hit up. read more

I'm still relatively new to yoga and have been switching between three yoga studios in the area until I saw a friend recommend IPY on Facebook and decided to give it a try. Since then, I only go to another studio when I am traveling. Ursula (the owner) is an amazing instructor who knows her students and where they are in their practice and manages personalize everyone's practice even in a group class. All the other instructors whose classes I attended at IPY have also been great. The studio is very clean, nicely lit, and smells great. The great part about coming to IPY is no matter what class I take and no matter the level of the other students in the class, I always leave feeling great and looking forward to the next time. read more

Fifth yoga review from the road...Ursula is one of those teachers you can't wait to come back to. What impresses me is that she has eagle eyes, remembers where you are in your personal development, gives terrific instructions, and spends a few minutes after savasana to talk to the class, giving each person an upbeat comment on what she felt they accomplished that day. With her experience in Ashtanga and vinyasa, she teaches excellent alignment with an encouraging attitude. Super clean with a really devoted clientele. It says a lot that I drove 30 minutes each way in traffic from Vienna when in DC to study with Ursula. read more

This is a GREAT studio. Great, knowledgeable teachers, several classes a day, and a large community. There is a variety of people that practice at IPY, from hardcore yogis to regular people looking to shed a few pounds. I find these classes challenging and relaxing. I like power yoga for the good workout but I need the mindfulness and relaxation of yoga as well to keep me level headed. IPY is a great combination of both. There are no mirrors, but the instructors are always walking around and will correct you or help you enhance your pose if needed. You have a full view of the lake at the front of the room. The ambiance is great: they take lighting, temperature, music, and everything else into consideration for the optimal practice. The class sizes (that I've seen) have been anywhere from 7-40 at a time. My ONLY negative is that the space is small. The front room is a bit tight when the class lets out. I think they're ready to expand to a bigger space! read more

Wonderful studio with dedicated teachers who have a genuine interest in all of their students. IPY offers peace and tranquility fused with a challenging workout that works out your body and brain. I love it! read more

I am very, very new to yoga , I've been going to Inner Power Yoga for only a month (I've only taken about 8 or so classes) but I really love it already and I know I will keep coming back. I was nervous to try yoga because I am not flexible, I have terrible balance and I had no idea what to expect and was afraid of making an ass out of myself. Well, I make an ass out of myself every class but I love it anyway! Everyone is really, really nice, helpful and supportive. All of the teachers are excellent but I am partial to the classes taught by Ursula (just a personal preference, they are all great!). Also - start with at least 2-3 'basics' classes- trust me! :) read more

I love this place! Ursula is such a sweet person and awesome teacher, and although I'm fairly new to yoga, she makes sure I feel comfortable doing the poses and have the basic alignment and posture correct in her Basics classes. I don't feel intimidated at all, and the classes go at the perfect pace. She is there to demonstrate the poses when we are confused, and tries to talk to everyone in the class before class starts to ensure that everyone is fine and healthy. I am sure that the other staff members are as wonderful, and I am happy I found this place! Highly recommend coming here, even if you've never tried yoga before...this is the perfect place to start! read more

I go there once to 4 times a week depending on how busy I am and I cannot get over it. I see my practice evolving every time. I love how I feel I am being taken care of no matter which teacher it is. I love this place. I feel this is an extension of my home... read more

I like this place and most of the instructors. The studio is hotter than I anticipated but since I've done hot yoga, it wasn't unbearable. It's not THAT hot. The class times are accommodating, the studio is clean, the location is kinda funky. I can't really tell the difference between the classes I take. read more

My FAVORITE place for yoga. 5 Stars pretty much says it all. I'd tried yoga at other places previously but could never get into it until I came to IPY. I was basically a beginner when I came to IPY and I was hooked after my first class. You will learn so much from this place--all the instructors are highly trained and also very approachable. When they come around to correct people, it's subtle and doesn't interrupt the flow of the class--which is something I appreciated as a beginner who didn't want attention drawn to myself. I've gone to many other studios and the quality of instruction here is top notch. Even though it is a warm yoga place that involves a bit of sweating, the studio still feels very clean. read more

Absolutely love this place! It is warm and inviting, everyone is so friendly. Ursula has an lovely calming voice. I will definitely be going back. read more

I have been practicing yoga for many years on my own thru books, videos and tips from other yogis. I was hesitant to attend classes until my company offered us to attend IPY as incentive. I really loved the first class Tiffany taught us in our office and I immediately signed up. I have been here for only 1.5 months now and I really like this place. Ursula, Mariana, Sylvia - all the teachers I have attended so far are really good and have their own style. I am from India and most of my friends ask how much does IPY Americanize Yoga and my answer to those is that every yogi is different and has different expectations and only certain aspects can be taught by a Guru and the rest like meditation, breathing, concentration is up to the disciple practice. I love this place as they start with a chanting of OM and end with another chanting OM, with sufficient time given to Savasana (sleep pose) at the end for those practicing pranayama. Different levels are taught in different classes - Basics, All Levels, Ashtanga. The location is good and class has beautiful pond view in the front. read more

I would recommend Inner Power Yoga to anyone and everyone interested in improving their day. For those who hate gyms because you feel like a hamster in its wheel - nothing beats the warm, professional studio. For those who want a great work out - you do not get better bodies than the serious yogis. For those who want community - there are friendly, smiling faces every time you walk in. For those who are really picky and want to be as comfortable working out as they are at home? definitely go to Inner Power Yoga. Ursula Cox is warm, friendly and delightful, making your day better every time you enter her studio. She has chosen amazing instructors who genuinely care about the well-being of all beings. You are missing out if you do not try IPY at least once. read more

My first experience with Yoga was today and it was perfect! This studio and Ursula Cox (the owner) are amazing. Ursula spent time with me prior to the session and again after the session. We worked hard and had a great workout! I felt energized and my mind was at peace when I left. I cannot wait to go back. ALSO, everyone there was so nice and helpful, I didn't feel intimated at all! Best workout I've EVER had, I already feel strong and fit! I really love this studio, if you're interested in Yoga you've got to come here first! MaryAnn Ottenberg Potomac Falls, Va. read more

I am brand new to yoga. The instructors at IPY have been incredibly kind, supportive, and welcoming. The studio is beautiful and clean. Be prepared for a good workout: while there is an emphasis on mindfulness, power yoga is terrific exercise. I highly recommend Inner Power Yoga to newbies, as well as experienced yogis. read more

This studio is just amazing! It doesn't matter your age, gender, weight, color.....etc... you are excepted as you are its not just yoga for physical body but also for your inner side it's wonderful atmosphere that comes from Ursula she has that incredible energy to make everyone feel good just as they are ! And since she is amazing all the teachers are as well ! Im practicing in IPY studio almost a year, I'm regularly visiting and it gives me great feeling for the days, it's part of my life and I truly love it I'm so blessed that i have found IPY read more

When I go to Inner Power Yoga for a class, I feel like I'm coming home. Ursula, the owner, is amazing and always makes you feel welcome and special. The other instructors are also terrific. I've been to other studios and even tried doing yoga at the gym, but I am spoiled! From the beautiful and convenient space to the great instruction to the gorgeous view during practice -- it's just the place to do yoga. Great for beginners and everyone else. As I get older I really appreciate the stretching, strengthening and flexibility I see after regular practice. Give it a try! Namaste. read more

I went there for a class. I did like the place and staff but the area is a bit small. I would go often but it is a bit far for me to drive. Although I still get the emails and there's definitely classes I would take. So I am not ruling this studio out altogether. read more

IPY is--by far--my favorite studio in the NOVA area. I must have tried a dozen different studios and a variety of styles of yoga before coming to IPY. The staff is so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The studio itself is gorgeous with huge windows overlooking a lake. One of the best things about IPY is that the staff, especially Ursula, make an effort to get to know each of the students to help them push themselves (in a good way) to help enhance their yoga practice. It's awesome because even when I've had the most stressful days, I always leave here feeling better than when I came in. read more

I have had such a great experience at Inner Power Yoga. I started off with a Living Social deal, and have been so happy with it that I am going to keep going when my deal runs out. The founder, Ursula, is very friendly and welcoming. I have only done the All Level classes, which are very intense but rewarding. They keep it warm, which took me a while to get used to, but it's not as hot as some places. It is such a great workout and you will feel great body and mind afterwards! read more
