Great yoga flows, killer playlists, and a wonderful welcoming community Highly recommend!!

Midtown Yoga is the best!!! Classes and instructors are amazing! I usually go to Durham location which is great as well

Love this yoga studio. All the instructors are very knowledgeable, create a great ambience for your practice, and each class is easily modifiable to your individual needs. But taken at a pace that is sure to provide some challenges! Definitely recommend!! read more

I never taught I would enjoy Yoga as much as I do. I look forward to it and have enjoyed every class. My favorite part is the towel at the end. read more

Midtown yoga is the best! I usually just get a class pass whenever I need a hot yoga sesh and it always hits the spot. The room is really hot - sometimes almost too intense depending on the class. The locker rooms are clean and sometimes they have social outings. read more

Midtown Yoga has a Raleigh studio and a Durham studio. I usually go to the Durham location, but I want to leave a review for Midtown Yoga in general. They offer a nice introductory special for 10 days, so I recommend checking that out. The Durham location has 2 studios that are outfitted with awesome color lights (red, blue, green, purple...) that change during class along with the music. The ambient lighting really does add a certain je ne sais quoi to the sessions. I typically sign up for hot flow and core flow classes (usually around 1 hour). At first, one might be a little surprised by how fast-faced the hot flow classes can be. However, it really makes a difference which teacher's class you choose, because some of them instruct at a faster pace than others. In Durham, I'll go ahead and say that I really enjoy Megan's classes, which are a beat slower, but somehow, I always leave feeling really satisfied with the encouragement to play with balance and feel out and settle into each pose with your body. I still sweat thoroughly in the 90-100 degree heated room. All classes incorporate intentional time to practice breathing. Instructors will walk around with cold, lavender-scented wet towels in the last 5 minutes of class for you to self-regulate at the end and cool down. This is sooo nice. During COVID, there are some vaccination required classes where you can forego wearing a mask. Other classes do require a mask while practicing. read more

Awesome studio and staff! Highly recommend taking a class here. Everyone was very respectful and made it a great experience.

After Midtown hosted several free community yoga sessions at Lululemon during their construction I was super excited to see that they were finally open- and hosting free classes for their grand opening. So naturally, I grabbed my mat and grabbed a class! Scheduling was super easy and the class descriptions were super helpful for picking the right one for me. Considering i'm pretty much a novice (opting for free community classes usually) I decided to try the warm foundations class which was perfect! When I arrived I was blown away by the space. It's absolutely gorgeous and totally Instagram worthy. Amenities-wise I still think that Cyclebar still beats out all the other studios in North Hills, but the basics were provided here. The only thing that was a bit bothersome was the water fountain was awkward for filling bottles and only gave lukewarm water (which is actually the same issue Orangetheory has so maybe it's a building issue?). The class itself was informative and very tough- in a good way. I left feeling sweaty (of course) but also like I had a good work out, rather than having just sat in a hot room and stretched for an hour. The cool towel at the end was a lovely addition as well! All in all Midtown Yoga is a very welcome addition to the work-out scene in North Hills! I'm a bit fan and will probably return, though I may wait for an offer- as it's pretty pricey to practice here. read more

Got the 10 day new client pass and came here every day for hot yoga for a week and got to try out almost all the teachers. We absolutely loved it. The staff is extremely kind and welcoming, and the place itself is really cute. There's so many different times throughout the day so you can always work a class into your schedule. Each teacher varies in their difficulty but the satisfaction at the end is always worth it. The room is dark with colored lights and extremely soothing. read more

The yoga studio itself is great. The parking is horrendous. I usually go to class on a weekday morning so maybe that's why, but I shouldn't have to spend 20 minutes looking for a parking spot all over N Hills. Today I never found one, so I called and spoke to Emily (which I found out is the owner) and told her I wasn't going to make it to class because I couldn't park anywhere. Her reply was that she's working on getting more parking available and that her suggestion is to just arrive early to look for it. Wow thanks...because I didn't think of that (insert eye roll). So I got to the parking lot at 9:15am, 30 minutes before class and I'm supposed to arrive earlier than that?? I don't think so. I have a class pass package and I asked for a refund (because I can't actually get to class!) and Emily told me they don't offer refunds. I get that, but if I CAN'T actually get to class then what am I supposed to do...Uber? I don't think so. So I guess I can't go to Midtown yoga because there's no where to park and I can't get a refund, so I guess I'm out a couple hundred dollars now. That's just great. UPDATE: I'm very happy to report that shortly after this review I received an email from the owner with an apology and a refund. read more

Just attended a most phenomenal class ("second saturday") at MY led by Emily! It was so thoughtfully sequenced, filled with creativity, and challenging in the best of ways. I loved the drills, the heat, the implementation of CARS and mobility at cool down, and the freedom to move about in ways that enhanced and offered personal expression to the practice. Above all, I loved the notion the work on our mats doesn't have to be "all or nothing" - an incredibly valuable concept I offer in my own classes. Highest recommendations read more

I enjoyed the yoga class I recently took here! The space is beautiful and modern and you can tell they put care into decorating their lobby. The space is small, and there are no real cubbies or anything like that to store your things. You pretty much just put them on a bench right outside the room. This is mainly a heated yoga studio so if that is not your thing you may have a hard time finding a class that you like. However if you are into that, then they have plenty of options available. Parking is easy on the weekends and evenings, but I know it can be a little trickier during the week when the office folks take over the parking lot right by the studio. If you are going during the workday just be sure to give yourself a bit of extra time to find parking. This is located in the new part of North Hills, turn in by the Captrust building and take an immediate right, follow it down and you will see them! Happy + Hale is building next door which will be a great addition and spot to grab lunch or dinner after your class. read more

I have been practicing hot yoga since 2004. Over the years, I've taken hot (vinyasa and Bikram) yoga classes in many U.S. cities and at several different studios in Raleigh--some are no longer in business. My critique of Midtown Yoga (MY) is based on a comparison to other studios that I have visited. Midtown Yoga has unique, differentiating features and offers yoga classes 7 days a week and frequently offers special workshops, special events in conjunction with North Hills and charity-supporting classes. The studio is conveniently located in North Hills. I practice yoga almost daily and in full disclosure, have an annual membership at Midtown Yoga. I first registered as a founding member before MY was opened for business. In my opinion and by far, Midtown Yoga (MY) is the most aesthetically beautiful studio in the Raleigh area. Obviously, the owner carefully thought through the studio's design--both aesthetically and from a use perspective. From the moment you enter MY you are greeted by a smiling instructor or staff person who welcomes you. The lobby has plenty of space to hang-out in while waiting for your scheduled class and has a retail component with mats, clothes, books, mala beads and other yoga-related products. The restrooms/showers are clean, bright, well-lit, stocked with plenty of towels, shampoo, body wash and have freshly-cut flowers. The actual yoga classroom is clean. There is no funky smell/odor that is often noticed in other studios. While the classroom varies in temperature between 90 to 105o depending on whether the class is a "warm" or "hot" vinyasa flow class, the room seems very well ventilated with strong air-circulation because I have never witnessed a need for the instructor to open the classroom entrance door to "allow" for fresh air--as occasionally I have experienced in other studios. The classroom looks like this: 2 walls are mirror lined, the flooring appears to be a smooth "one piece" surface, 3 or 4 ceiling fans, recessed ceiling lighting that seems to be state-of-the-art programmable as it changes colors during the class, a strip of floor lighting under the mirrors and battery-operated candles illuminating the perimeter of the room. The instructors are knowledgeable yogis, passionate and are attentive to the students/practitioners providing useful suggestions/adjustments to better the yoga experience. It is obvious the instructors are committed to instruct and assist students/practitioners--rather than just leading a "follow the yogi" class. The studio also offers other, non-yoga classes such: strength building with weights, strength with bands, mediation and pre-natal yoga. Pricing: Modestly priced and equal to the current rate at other studios. Great value. Drop-in, monthly and annual packages available. Monthly and annual packages include mat, mat towel and shower towels. As a runner, this yoga practice builds core strength, increases balance and overall flexibility. I think it is the perfect foundation for anyone--regardless athlete or not. This yoga is the recipe for maintaining youthfulness, flexibility as the aging process creeps in, helps to reduce stress, tension and increase focus and calmness. The classes in the late afternoon (M-F) are popular and well-attended so I always arrive early to ensure I get a place! You won't be disappointed! read more

The space is beautiful, the instructors are the best in town, and the location is PRIME! The first time I took one of Emily Wallace's classes, I was hooked on yoga, and her teaching style. I went to Jolene's class last week during their soft opening as well, and it was just as amazing (no surprise there). Midtown Yoga is walking distance from my apartment, but there is plenty of parking all around. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

I went to the studio during a recent work trip. They have a good intro special where you pay a flat fee and can take as many classes as you want for a set time period. The studio is really cute, the hot room has these colored lights which give it an interesting vibe. I was only able to make it to the hot flow classes, they were ok. Each yoga class is different and for me hot flow was good but I prefer to hold postures just a beat more to really get an opportunity to feel the stretch. I found this flow to be quite repetitive. That's not a dig at the instructors, just different than the yoga I typically practice. I was grateful for the heat during my travels. The staff was friendly. They offer you plenty of towels, mats, you can fill up your water bottle, they have retail and outdoor classes which is nice. I'd go to the studio again. read more

Midtown is an incredible community for all of us regulars but also a beautiful studio for visiting yogis. I'm always so excited and proud when guests join us for a class! Emily has done a phenomenal job with the people and the space.... The Vibe: It's gorgeous and, beyond a studio, it's a gathering place for supportive and loving people (and occasionally their pups). Well before or after any given class, you'll find people swinging in the hanging chairs, catching up in the front of the studio or enjoying Happy & Hale food/drinks at the outdoor tables. The Space: I always get a kick of people seeing it for the first time - it's just downright pretty! They do a great job of keeping things clean and we all love the moody LED lights in the studio itself. Smells good and looks good and that's a luxury in hot yoga. The Staff: They set the tone the minute you walk in the door and always greet you with a warm, genuine smile. The instructor roster is the best in Raleigh and there's enough variety in the class/schedule without diluting the integrity of the practice. I can't speak highly enough of the value in striking that balance. #midtownyoga4lyfe read more

Having just moved from CA I was having a hard time finding a new studio that was as amazing as the ones I had experience previously. Midtown yoga was recommended to me and I'm really happy it was. Emily was my teacher (and owner!) and she is absolutely incredible. Her class was easy to follow, yet challenging. Having been out of practice for over a month I was happy to have a tough enough class to knock me on my butt. She cues modifications when appropriate and her pace was perfect. Emily also let me know about the 5 classes for $59 pack which I rushed to the desk to purchase after class. Thank you midtown for being my new yoga home! I cannot wait to be back. read more

I tried the Warm Yoga and had such a nice experience! The class was open to all levels of yoga and the teacher was calming and directive. The space was very clean and modern. The studio wasn't large but I felt it created a nice space for a smaller yoga class with more guidance if needed. read more

Love coming here. Excellent instructors and easy to follow along. Everyone is so friendly and the area is clean and inviting. I especially like checking in before class to ensure i have a spot. I definitely would recommend this studio. read more

LOVE Midtown Yoga. I always feel challenged and refreshed during and after class. I also love how they are different than many other studios in Raleigh, you won't just have a class with all the standard poses. Money for value is on point!! The studio is very cool, it does get SUPER packed in some classes which I understand but don't love. Very awesome staff. This place is definitely worth trying out if you haven't already!! read more
