Wow! What a special experience it is to attend a yoga class at Radiance Yoga…read more Even though this is a large studio with serious yogis, you won't experience the snobbiness and exclusivity that often comes with yoga studios today. Everyone, from staff to students is friendly and welcomings, which makes for a happy and welcoming atmosphere. The tea station and large round table is such a nice touch and really feeds the community atmosphere at the studio. I wish more yoga studios were like this. I took the Kundalini Yoga class with Sat Katar Singh. He's amazing. He is calm and wise with a playful sense of humor, which creates a nice energy in the class. I'll definitely return when I am back in town and I look forward to experiencing the wide range of classes and teachers that the studio offers.

I have been out of practice for a bit so this was a nice re-entry point. While the music and instruction and very quiet setting were different from my preferred yoga style, I will say that Angelina was a good teacher. The sequencing of the flow was great and I felt very challenged. I also appreciated how engaged she was with each student in different ways and the hands-on assistance she provided. I've been doing yoga for a while but there are still postures I'm confident aren't exactly right. She helped me correct a few and I was very grateful. She also recognized my flexibility and gave me additional adjustments/gentle pushes to get deeper into some postures. I also appreciated Mo at the front desk who was very nice and welcoming. Sometimes, when I come to smaller studios where everyone knows each other, I feel out of place but that wasn't the case here. Thanks, Radiance!

Reminds me of something in NYC or LA. The instructors are welcoming and helpful. It's also an amazing full body workout that will be sure to give you lean muscle definition. My favorite instructor is Kayla - she also has the best sequencing on the machine and seems to know exactly how to burn out muscles- in the best type of way. She must meticulously plan her class and music because it feels super professional each and every time and I always feel like I had an amazing workout with the right amount of soreness. I also like the variety she uses because I sometimes can get bored with certain workouts- blame my ADHD. She pushes you the right amount too and just when I think I can't give anymore- there she is to help me keep going! I haven't tried their Arms&Abs class but I'd LOVE to see a Booty&Abs focused class :) Classes go by quickly and the loud music helps you get out of your mind and have FUN! Working out should be a good time in my opinion - it keeps me going back for more !

Well, after 3 lessons with Laura, I am learning so much -- and Laura is carefully tailoring my Reformer exercisers to help my sciatica. So far I couldn't be more thrilled -- most of my pain is gone -- and I walk straight and tall at least for the rest of the day. Even my husband has commented that my limp is mostly gone. I signed up for 5 classes and will be continuing beyond those-- the Pilates sessions with Laura have given me more lasting results than therapeutic massages which I had been trying. My Pilates session with Laura is one of the highlights of my week.

Zoom sessions for 60.00 (Individual) or 30.00 (Group), were offered with a note that "our packages would be waiting post-pandemic." This Zoom sessions were quite expensive given no reformer and the pandemic environment so I did not sign up for classes. I have yet to receive a update regarding the studio reopening and when I can use the rest of my package. No issue with paying the money for nothing but seems somewhat greedy.

This was such a loaded experience. As someone who frequents many small studios like this in various…read moreparts of the DMV, especially the V, I definitely have my likes and dislikes. Likes: Anna-Maria, the instructor, was very sweet. She was warm and welcoming, very encouraging throughout the workout, and had an interesting playlist. It was also a pretty good workout with the core/upper body sections being better than others. Format: Surge Strength. It was very much a "lift to the music" while bringing in cardio elements workout. I like having music blaring but being on beat (or striving to be) annoys me because you're pressured to break form and not move meaningfully. I probably looked crazy, but I was seconds behind the other people in class because I wanted to actually lift, not swing my arms around. Also, some of the moves (mostly lower body), when moving that quickly, just don't target the areas I want to strengthen meaningfully. For some moves, I'd opt for slower, more controlled, classic moves so I could get it right. We were using "light to heavy" dumbbells - I think the highest is 15 pounds. Also, the "stop, grab your mat, unfold, and do floor work for a couple minutes" thing was kind of disorienting at times. Facilities/equipment: this is my second biggest gripe. While it looked mostly visibly clean, the floors were dirty AF, covered in stringy hairs. Ew. During the floor sections, I could see hair and other debris on the floor and it would even get on me if any part of me even slightly came off the mat, or hairs would be hanging from my weights when I picked them up.yuckkk. Also, the mats were funky. Very clear that they rely on folks doing the one-wipe swipe after sweaty workouts for cleaning and that's gross. They don't have a water cooler or even a cool Flow Water station or anything - they have two water fountains that are relatively low pressure. And they're connected, so only one works at a time. And they looked a little dusty. Vibe: It's a no for me, dawg. Outside of Anna-Maria, there was like NO diversity in the room (maybe one Asian woman in the front) which feels VERY WEIRD when the playlist is VERY Black with a little Brown sprinkled in. On top of that, the women in there were stuck up and some were, frankly, obnoxious. I got multiple stares (Yes, I'm Black! OMG lol) and when I was attempting to fill my water at the ratchet fountain, before I knew they were connected, this one white studio member, in such a condescending way, was like, "hi, yeah, they're actually connected, so..." Girl, bye. Oh, that brings me to another point: It was my first time at that location. I checked in and received no orientation/guidance from the girl at the front desk. I ended up entering the studio room and, thankfully, Anna-Maria was able to help me get set up. I think the girl at the front desk heard me receiving instructions and ran in just as the workout was about to start and apologized for not introducing me to things. But it was very much an afterthought and if I was someone who was super anxious or thrown off by stuff like that, I would've left. Oh, and it's def the type of place where the same people show up for the same classes (or multiple) regularly. To be honest, I disliked the vibe so much initially, I considered leaving like five minutes into the workout. But a player has goals, so I stayed. It seemed pretty clear who this space is intended for. And I've pretty much NEVER felt that way before, even when working out in tiny studios in places like Del Ray and Loudoun. I was less uncomfy towards the end, but initial impression plus hair: ew. You'll get a cute workout in but this vibe? Not for me.
