I've been here a couple times and it is just an average studio. However, what I am truly and utterly shocked about is this workshop they have decided to put on. This workshop is free to black people and $120 for white people. This is 100% Racism, and if you disagree then just ask yourself this; if black people had to pay $120 and whites got it for free would it then be racist? I WILL NEVER support this business again! We need businesses in this neighborhood to unite everyone, and this is just tearing it further apart. http://www.nirvanayogaatlanta.com/workshops/ read more

Nirvana Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Was in town visiting from LA and took Monie's Friday noon class - what a TREAT!! Excellent instruction and queueing, rad-chill music, couldn't also for anything more :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

See all

Nirvana Yoga Studio is...warm, inviting, professional, healing, inclusive; the list goes on! I always feel welcome here. The instructors are fantastic, and there are classes to meet everyone's needs. I have a much deeper appreciation & understanding of yoga and meditation due to Nirvana...thank you Leigh Anne & Britney especially! read more

I have a love hate relationship with yoga. I always believe I am an amazing yogi until I get into a class that is way too advanced for me and the instructor couldn't give a hoot about me. Then they have me doing head stands in the first week of class. Did I tell you I could do head stands?! No! I knew I found my yoga studio when my instructor Lucy put up her hands above her hands and said, "Imagine something awesome between your hands like lightning." Not a soft bubble of healing energy but lightning. You should have heard the party of thoughts in my head, mainly a chorus of YES we must take more yoga here! Lucy was amazing in the fact that she listened to both of us, learned about what injuries we have, and then created an almost new class just for the two of us. I highly recommend that people come here and hang out, I mean do yoga with, Lucy. Did I mention that at the end of the class she wrapped us up like cannolis, put eye covers on our eyes and said if you fall asleep it's ok? Best relaxation ever! All I can say is that I am actually excited to return this Friday to this smaller which makes it perfect yoga studio. Oh did I also mention they don't let the classes get bigger that 15 people so the instructor can focus on each student? Again, Love it! read more

Do yourself a favor and go to a class here. Six stars! Nirvana Yoga, which is located in the heart of Grant Park, is so awesome for so many reasons. First of all, All the teachers here are really great! In the last couple of months, I have taken classes from about 5 different teachers and ALL of them have been so wonderful & inspiring. I feel like I just float through my practice here.. Second, the large studio space is beautiful, open, and full of warm light and energy. The historic building in which it is situated used to be a masonic temple over 100 years ago.(cool!) There seems to be other businesses in the building (which never interrupt class), but the yoga studio space is so nice because of it's all original floor-to-ceiling wood finish and large,open windows. Overall, a very inviting place to practice. As far as prices go...the best in town!! I don't think there is a more affordable studio in town. Drop-in classes are $12, but In these financially strapped times, they also offer a handful of $5 classes and free classes. Also, they offer an introductory special for newcomers that truly can't be beat - $20 for unlimited classes for one whole week! If you are looking for a place to practice yoga, connect with some amazing folks, and stretch your body & mind, this is the place! It is really amazing - and you should go and see for yourself. read more

Nirvana is my favorite yoga studio in Atlanta. It has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The space is gorgeous with beautiful art and windows to enjoy the old growth and flowering trees. The classes are very affordable - they've offered $5 noon yoga for years! The teachers are top notch as well. I'm a big fan of Lucy Curtis who makes the practice fun while keeping you safe. I always feel great when I leave. read more

We came here to try it out at the $5 Sunday class. It was a small group led by Catlin. It was a very pleasant well led class. The studio was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room. There are windows to let in natural light and fans to help circulate the air. The class was very challenging but relaxing with a good flow. You can rent mats for a dollar. There is a kitchen where you can get water and tea which is a very nice touch. They accept credit cards. Parking is street parking which was easy to find on a Sunday. Definitely give it a try as a intimate yoga studio. read more

Was in town from out of town and tried this yoga studio. GREAT vibe her and Amanda's class was just what I needed to unwind from the day. She is very dedicated to her practice, it is clear. Met the owner and she was very welcoming too. Love this place. read more

I love this place! It's my home studio. The teacher training course is worth all the effort and investment.

I'm so obsessed with this place. Been going here so about 3 years and I love it. I've been to a couple other studios with friends and this is hands down my favorite of any studio I've been to. The atmosphere is so cozy and calm, the teachers are great, there's plenty of class options. I'm so grateful to have such a great studio so close to home! read more

Anybody who does yoga knows how much teachers matter. There are lots of different styles of yoga and temperaments of teacher, and when a yoga practitioner finds a teacher whose style and attitude fit the bill, that's what makes one's practice meaningful and effective. What has made my experience at Nirvana less than ideal is that you never really know which teacher is going to be leading any particular class. There are some truly great teachers here (especially Leigh Anne, who is fun and charismatic and runs a vigorous and enjoyable class), and some inexperienced, poorly trained, highly mediocre, even irresponsible teachers. Though names of teachers are listed on the schedule, they sub out for one another regularly. This is announced on their Facebook page, but if you're not on Facebook you might miss it. I have many, many times walked into the studio thinking that the teacher would be someone I'd worked with before and liked -- which is why I came to the studio for that class in the first place! -- only to find a teacher I'd decided to avoid, or a sub from another local studio who might never be at Nirvana again. It's incredibly frustrating. Other than that, this is a lovely place. Airy, welcoming space; reasonably priced classes; friendly, super non-snobby clientele. They've also been offering chilled compresses scented with tangerine and lavender during shavasana, which is absolute genius on a hot summer day. So I would give Nirvana four stars, maybe even five, if the schedule was reliable, or the teaching staff was of more consistent quality. read more

Sometimes the classes are really excellent, then again sometimes the attitude is so thick you couldn't cut it with a smudge stick.

Gentle Yoga was the perfect class to take after traveling for several days. Airplane seats and hotel beds led to aches and tenderness that only yoga could fix. This class was well led by Lucy and I feel amazing now! read more

Things I dislike about yoga: -dragging my tuchus into any location offering group activities involving physical prowess (including yoga studios, even though yes, I know it's not supposed to be competitive). This is probably why I have been in a gym exactly twice since 2007 -instructors putting their hands on me -instructors telling me to put my hands on other people (partnering) -instructors having a vibe of superiority -not quite grasping verbal instructions, doing something completely random and feeling like a moron -flopping gracelessly onto the ground during the upward-dog phase of s sun salutation because I lack all upper-body strength -seeing how far my heels are from the floor during downward dog -feeling like my tuchus was kicked so hard by the session that I definitely couldn't control my breathing, I'm lucky to have stayed alive -classes that are too spiritual -classes that are not spiritual enough -classes that are too crowded to have legit personal space -straps (Aside: yoga is my preferred form of physical activity, so you can infer from my gripes how athletic I am in general) Leigh Anne (Nirvana's owner) pretty much dissolves the above. She is shiny, happy, friendly, quirky, a little TMI, and not at all judgmental. She has a great response for my unstated protests. She is spiritual and cares about all the froofy stuff but she brings it down to earth. I friggin went to see the transit of Venus because her talk inspired me! She gives me hope that there may be room in yoga for neurotics like me yet. I went to the Rise and Shine (hatha) yoga class regularly for a couple of months until I injured my foot, and now I haven't gotten my motivation up to go back. Hopefully soon. I can only speak for this class, but it's just perfect - it didn't push me so hard that I felt defeated, but hard enough to feel fulfilled. When she adjusted me it was really unobtrusive. And when I made stupid mistakes she handled it great and made me laugh at myself. There was zero partnering involved. There was plenty of space but yeah, it's the 7 AM class so not sure if this is true generally. The only negatives -They don't take credit card, I think -The first time you come the payment process can seem a little overwhelming -Once Leigh Anne played music including some popular songs like "Don't Stop Believin." My sister loved this, I didn't - it was distracting. I've only heard that done once though. -I did not like the lemongrass towel on my face, but it is optional -I would actually love the option of a 6 AM class instead of 7, but I'm probably more likely to go at 7 anyway and I like going to the 1st of the day They have a new student discount that you can apparently use once whenever you want - unlimited yoga for a week $20. I haven't used mine yet, and am excited to. read more

I attended Narinder's Kundalini yoga class on Saturday morning at 11 and it was amazing. The space is conducive to a beautiful experience and the class was educational, spiritual and physical all at once. If you haven't tried KY I highly recommend it. It's a game changer. read more

Nirvana Yoga as an amazing studio full of love and community! They have a variety of classes on the schedule to suit many preferences of yoga. All of the classes are well thought out and taught by amazing teachers! You're first class is free and the have a new student deal $50 for a month of unlimited yoga read more

I've been to this studio a few times. Pluses and minuses. Be aware that teachers sub for each other frequently and that CLASSES ARE CANCELLED frequently. Be sure to check their Facebook page rather than their website for notifications. Other than that, this studio is great. The atmosphere is lovely. The teachers are well versed and seem to genuinely enjoy their work. The prices are reasonable. Props are available. Parking is not a problem. read more

I can't believe that Nirvana hasn't been reviewed yet. Love the space in Grant Park, I drive from Avondale Estates just to get to the 7pm class on Wednesdays. I love Leigh Annes style of teaching. The studio is simple and spacious and always smells good and warm, hot tea is always offered and there is a sense of community if you attend this studio. There are several different styles of yoga offered and different levels. You can buy a class card that never expires and get a bit of a discount. Parking is on the street but I've never had a problem. So I love Nirvana, and have tried many of the yoga studios intown, this is my favorite. I just wish they were closer, perhaps Leigh Anne can start a studio in Avondale Estates? read more

Spiritual, (but not preachy) comfortable, supportive, lovely studio. Entry was currently under renovation and signs are a bit confusing Keep looking until you find it; it is worth it. Brittney Bruderman provided a nice sequence with lots of offers for modification. Lots of support for newby orientation. Warm and welcoming. read more

This is the best studio I've ever been to! The instructors are really well-trained and caring. The space is welcoming and it is easy to check in and pay--studio is on the Mind Body app, and they have a receptionist who handles sign-in. The instructors and classes differ in intensity and style, but I think the written descriptions of classes on their site gives you a good idea of what to expect. Like any studio, it's best to try out a few different classes and instructors to see what fits you personally. What I like about Nirvana in general, though, is that the classes are really holistic--a safe warm up, a solid work out and the ever important mind body connection that should be part of any yoga instruction. This is my home studio for a good reason. read more

Absolutely the best yoga studio ever. The instructors make it challenging and a great deal of fun, and the environment is completely welcoming and relaxed. All the instructors I've had class with have been kind and encouraging, and all levels are definitely welcome at Nirvana. Leigh Anne has created such a warm, comfortable space, and I can't imagine a better place to practice. read more

This studio is so peaceful. It is near little 5 points and the classes are great! I wish the studio was a little bit bigger, I remember having to take turns doing the headstand. I do however, love the wall. Kicking up into a handstand on that back wall is easy. read more

This yoga studio is WONDERFUL. The space itself is amazing and so are the teachers. I've been to about five classes so far all with different instructors. Each one is kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this studio especially for beginners like myself! read more

This place isn't for people who like to sweat and get a workout. I've gone to a lot of yoga studios, and the classes at Nirvana are like the last 15 minutes of the classes I typically go to, except stretched out over an hour and fifteen minutes. I've been to about 6 classes and I've never broken a sweat. The instructors are nice and the studio is cozy, but if you're looking to change your body at all try somewhere else (Hotlanta, Corepower, Highland Yoga, etc). read more

I've been going a little over a month and I've had such a great experience thus far. The teachers are all wonderful. They ask about injuries you may have or areas you'd like to focus on before beginning class, and they keep you in mind as the class progresses. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and the pricing is very reasonable. They just had a special for unlimited classes for 6 months for $400. That's about $67 per month for as many classes as you want! I live in Grant Park, so the location couldn't be any better for me, but most people like it because it's in a nice, quiet area. If you've never given yoga a try and might be a little nervous about it, this is the best place ever to go to for your first class. read more

By far the best studio in Atlanta and I've been to several. Leigh Anne has done a wonderful job in creating a studio with the atmosphere of yoga as not only a tool for relaxation but also a workout. Her enthusiasm shines though as genuine and kind. I highly recommend the $5 class with Amy, Leigh Anne, and Amanda for Yin/Vin. read more

So far I've really enjoyed this place. My experiences here are that their instructors are patient, friendly, and listen to customers needs and try to customize classes based on specific pain (usually lower back). I like the space; I like the atmosphere they create; and on top of all that, the classes are inexpensive and nearby. I'll be back! read more
