The instructors are all very kind, knowledgable, and make it a welcoming space for everyone. It doesn't matter where you are at in your pilates journey or what your strength level is, the instructors will work with you and let you take it at a pace you are comfortable with. I have a injury that has limited me with other types of exercises, but as long as you let your instructor know before class, they will make modifications to accommodate you. While Pilates is low impact, you will notice the toning of muscles you wouldn't normally workout with other exercises! Highly recommend coming here!

The hot yoga (express or regular - I've taken both) is challenging yet fun and all of the instructors queue lots of options, making it accessible for everyone to do what they want to do and make each practice their own. The locker room is spacious and the music keeps the vibes high before and after the workout. I can't wait to keep taking more classes here!

This studio has…read moretaught me so much - in fact, I learned the basics here that have kept me going as a yoga lover. I have been going on and off here since 2018 (pre-pandemic). Once we were able to attend classes again, I was very impressed by their dedication to keeping their clients staying safe and feeling that they were in the right hands. I have been attending classes - a few of which are free! They have 2-3 classes a week that are free to introduce you to the studio and to the art of yoga! Following their social media and keeping in touch with the studio will help you figure out when these classes happen. One of my favorite classes that this studio has to offer is "sculpt." They incorporate weights into a traditional yoga setting. This turns the class into s a full-body workout. As a male, there are times where I may not "fit in" to yoga and fitness classes, but here I felt welcome. I feel that this is a workout that other males may also benefit from. They have sessions throughout the entire day. Be sure to check the schedule and plan ahead of time as spaces fill up.

I especially love the ones with Kathleen, Jackie and Shannon! Can't recommend them enough.

Seriously challenging Lagree workout (in the best way)…read more I've now taken two Lagree classes at The Body Lab in Leawood while in town for work, and WOW. This is not a casual workout. For context, I'm a regular reformer Pilates attendee so I'm used to resistance training and core work. Lagree here absolutely humbled me. I was sore for days! the good kind of sore where you know the workout actually did something. I believe my instructor's name was Veronica and she was phenomenal. Clear cues, strong presence, and very attentive. She offered helpful corrections and encouragement without being overwhelming. It felt structured and intentional, not chaotic. The facility itself is: * Super clean * Bright and modern * Well maintained * Easy to navigate Check-in was simple and smooth. The vibe overall was welcoming and not intimidating. They're beginner-friendly but still deliver an advanced-level burn if you're experienced. I love that they also have a Prairie Village location that's on ClassPass! I'll probably book there next time to save a little money but I'll absolutely keep coming back whenever I'm in the Kansas City / Overland Park area for work. I'm tempted to try their heated yoga class, but I'm heat-sensitive and might pass out otherwise I would! If you want a serious, effective Lagree workout in Leawood or Overland Park, The Body Lab is 100% worth it.

Someone texted me soon after I reached out for information and she was clear and helpful--which made me feel comfortable before I even stepped through the door. They offered a free 30-minute introductory session, which was the perfect way to get familiar with the space, the reformer, and one of the instructor's teaching style. Signing up for classes is super convenient through the Achieve app, where you can check availability and manage your schedule easily. There are a variety of reformer levels, mat, athletic and tower classes held early morning, afternoon, and early evening. The studio itself is a boutique style--small, clean, and well-organized, with five reformers that allow for focused, personalized instruction. After I signed up, they sent a detailed email outlining class etiquette and pricing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for offering a special package for teachers--such a thoughtful touch! I'm looking forward to experiencing the other classes offered!

Housed in a building that was once part of Kansas City's film row, I had a good feeling as I walked over Joan Crawford's and Jean Harlow's stars on the sidewalk leading into the building. (both screen queens spent their formative years in KC... wow, I have a way of fitting that into many reviews, don't I?) The studio is on the second floor, down past the check-in desk and hallway where you'll find the bathrooms and an alkaline water system. The studio itself is lovely, with bamboo floors and all kinds of wall hangings and statues around the room with Ganesh and other Hindu deities, which automatically makes me feel happy. The room has lots of windows, which allows for natural light and they like to keep the temperature to 80 degrees. No, this is NOT hot yoga (not a fan, personally), but you will sweat. Personally, I do like having windows open, letting in fresh air and fans, but I think I'm in the minority as I haven't found any studios that have this kind of thing. Most classes are taught by Kathleen and Wade, the husband and wife team that own Maya Yoga and both are approachable, strong instructors that will push you as far as you need to be pushed, while not going too far. It's noted on the schedules which classes are more for beginning students, by the way, so take note of that if you are a beginner. Having fallen out of regular practice, I mixed it up a bit to get back into it. I've taken a combination of classes, although not those in the morning or evening (ashtanga) which are really for those who have some background in yoga. I don't love ashtanga, but I did take two intro classes with Wade and he really does a great job of easing you into this challenging practice, for many of us, would take years to be able to do a lot of the asanas to their fullest benefit. Keep in mind, yoga is a practice and it's not about who can do this or that pose or asana. It's hard for most Westerners, as most of us are looking to be "good" at it (myself not excluded). What I've always found interesting is that you can be an absolute beginner but able to do some challenging poses with ease, like from when I started yoga many years ago, I found ankle to knee pose to be a piece of cake while a good portion of seasoned practitioners struggle with this. Meanwhile, I've still yet to be able to put my hands flat the floor when doing a forward bend. Kathleen's Tuesday midday Vinyasa class is perfect and definitely challenges me (hello splits! Still can't do those, either), while keeping me in good practice for those poses that come easier (Yay, backbends!). Today we had a really fantastic sub named Gwen and I need to see if she teaches other classes, because she was a blast- really down to earth, really helpful, but again, it's not gentle yoga (which she teaches as well, to seniors. How awesome is that?!) I come from a Vinyasa and Kundalini practice and ideally my practice combines both. Maya doesn't offer Kundalini, so I'll probably be going elsewhere for that, but I am really happy that I found a yoga studio that I love for Vinyasa!

Truthfully, it kicked my tush but the instructor was so upbeat and so kind - and there were truly ALL shapes and sizes! I wasnt self conscious at all. I came back the next week and a different instructor and she was a bit more of a teacher of the steps than the first and realized that it would take me awhile to learn the routines but I would get it. For the first time in my life I was doing cardio three times a week and enjoying it. Encouraging, non-judgemental, fun, and worth the $7 per class (or $6 if you buy a pass).
