I went to FlyDog yesterday for the first time and loved it! The studio is brand new and there is so…read moremuch space compared to the downtown studios I've been too. Plus there is ample parking at the studio, again something you don't get downtown. The locker room was very much appreciated so I could actually be seen in public after sweating so much. I went to a heated vinyasa class with Patrick and really enjoyed the flow. I want a class with a challenge, that makes me sweat but also lets my mind wander some. That is exactly what I got and I can't wait for another!

I was visiting Charlottesville and needed a yoga home for the next few nights. I came across this…read morefabulous studio and was very in awe with the instructors and the community. The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground. My last class was the candlelight on Thursday and instantly after class I thought, I'm really going to miss this studio. I hope to visit again when I'm in town. Super clean and cozy. Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!

Carroll Ann and Liam are committed to approaching Ashtanga from a place that makes it accessible to all (financially and physically). Their teaching are safe and trustworthy!

I found Ashtanga Yoga through Crossfit Charlottesville, who hosted a special yoga class with Annie…read moreR. The class was excellent, so I asked Annie where she taught: Opal Yoga. I started with Mary B's power hour - probably one of the most difficult classes I've ever taken! Mary is incredibly knowledgeable and she did a wonderful job of both challenging me and adjusting moves to my level. I can only speak for Annie and Mary, but if you get a chance to take one of their classes, I highly recommend it. Honestly, prior to finding these great instructors, I was not a fan of Yoga - now, I love it and do it multiple times a week.

The yoga itself and the teacher are great! However fully enjoying the experience is hindered by…read morewhat seems to be a no cap on number of people/fit as many bodies in the room as possible. It's very uncomfortable to be so squeezed in and so close to your neighbor that it's hard to do some poses. Also when you're sweating profusely no one wants to be that close together. Especially for $26 a class I expect to have space. Not show up and have to ask people to squeeze together their mats because there doesn't seem to be room for us even though we booked in advance? Also it seems that many people crammed in a room like that has to be against fire code. It is really frustrating that it seems they don't manage the amount of people who sign up for the classes or put a cap on it. Like we easily couldn't not had a spot and we signed up/paid in advance. Please Hot Yoga put a lower cap on classes so we can better enjoy the experience!

I joined NOWyoga shortly after moving to Cville. I started with their 3 weeks for $30 offer and…read morehave since signed up for their three month intro offer with plans to continue as a monthly member. All of the instructors are amazing (I especially love Rachel and Lydia), and Sabine and Aly (the owners) have set up a relaxing and inviting space. There is a beautiful patio outside of one of the studios that you can practice on, but you can also stay inside if it's too hot or cold for you. Teachers teach from the space between, so you have options. Bolsters, blocks, towels, blankets, straps, cups for water, and mats are available at no extra charge. There are also bins to put your belongings in as well as a changing room. The bathroom is stocked with hair ties, bug spray, spray deodorant, and other items you might need. I was initially hesitant to join because NOWyoga costs slightly more than other studios in Cville, but it's well worth the price. The instructors are very personal and are willing to talk before and after class about specific postures or struggles, and I find that the classes I attend provide a challenge without feeling overwhelming. It can be stressful to start a new workout routine or join a new studio, but the staff have really helped my transition into a new routine and to a new city. I feel like I have joined a community. I am always so excited to go to class, and I always feel so refreshed after. NOWyoga is a great studio for people of all ages and levels, and I can't recommend it enough!

And if you think you might go for multiple sessions, they sometimes run a deal with buy 4/ get 1 free. Booking is also very easy to do online. I had been going to Cali for acupuncture and I wish I could give her 6 stars! She helped me with a physical issue I was dealing with, and most importantly, by seeing her regularly I was able to get on a regular sleeping schedule again. Cali is truly, truly special. Head's up that the acupuncture space is a community model - so no individual rooms (which has never detracted from my experience - it's just a good thing to know!)

I was relatively new to yoga when I started coming here in January, and have felt incredibly welcomed.

The yoga is just amazing because now it stretches everything out and you get a cool down. It's such an all-around exercise and very balanced.

You're not trying to keep up with the class you're trying to work your own body at your pace. Excellent work out! I highly recommend this to everyone!!
