I just started working with Karen Roodman a month ago, and have been incredibly impressed with her…read moretremendous depth of knowledge about pilates and the human body. This, of course, led to very on-target instruction. Not a moment was wasted. Karen is naturally passionate so her ability to make me feel great about what I was doing for myself was just what I needed after an injury that led to a drastic change in my physical abilities. You can't get a better combination of skills and natural empathy. She's fantastic, and I recommend her to anyone.

I got to try this studio twice so far. If you sign up online through their website, the first class…read moreis free! This is also available through ClassPass which is a-maaaaaaaaaaaaazing! I got to try this the first time when my friend was subbing, and she totally kicked my butt. The class was a great workout on a Sunday morning and left me sore for honestly 3 days. She kicked my butt in that class. The second time, I took it with Christy. She was a such a fun and awesome instructor, really enjoyed her a lot! I think with my prior training and cardio workouts got me to keep up with her class and not stay sore for too long! (Thanks Alyssa for the heads up on these classes haha). I love how cute the studio is. Very clean and simple. The decor is small and adorable for the studio and provides pretty much everything that you need. Only need to bring your own towel and water bottle and you're good to go! If I'm actually in RVA during the weekends, you bet your butt I'll be taking a morning class again here!

Wanna burn 500 calories in 50 minutes? Go take a class! The first one is free on their app (linked…read morethrough their website) or there's a deal on Groupon right now. I would recommend the Groupon because you'll definitely want to go more than once! I had my first class with Christy, the owner, and already have my next two scheduled. The classes are small which is nice after the year we've had and it allows for one on one assistance from the instructor. After a fairly lazy pregnancy and recovery I needed and appreciated the extra instruction! With that being said I was nervous for my first class but Christy made it easy to modify the steps. I was still covered in sweat and burned 500 calories before I left. As a new client I felt super welcome and can't wait to go back!

I started taking yoga classes with Nora over a decade ago, when I was just out of college. In a…read moretransitional time during my life, yoga provided me with a simple daily practice that helped with my physical stress. However, over the years it became much more of a life philosophy that has stayed with me through many years and many transitions. Integral Yoga and Nora have been a positive force in my life, even when I wasn't living in Virginia. From Raja yoga and meditation classes, to a grief workshop at Yogaville after I lost my mother, these teachings and her compassionate nature have helped me greatly over the years. She has brought the teachings of Swami Satchidananda and Yogaville to Richmond in a way that is accessible to many people in many walks of life. I firmly believe that yoga is a life-changing practice that can be applied to many aspects of one's daily life. If you are looking for an authentic yoga experience and not just another big box yoga chain, Integral Yoga is the place.

Our coach, Gigi, was incredibly kind and super helpful; She adjusted our reformers and made sure we were doing each move correctly. The class is definitely challenging, but in a fun and motivating way. You feel pushed without feeling overwhelmed, and it really makes you want to come back and keep improving. Make sure to bring a pair of grippy socks, but if you forget, they have some available for purchase, along with water and energy drinks. I had a great time and will definitely be back!

I have been doing yoga for close to thirty years. probably 40 different instructors or more. Every…read moreexperience left me feeling uplifted and glad I had gone with the exception of the hot yogalaties class at this location. I had been to the location a couple of years before and was happy with it. The problem started at the beginning when the instructor gave a passionate plea to speak up about all the awful stuff going on in the country. I ignored it. To be fair I was happy with the class tempo, music, and degree of difficulty. The class ended with a repeat of political activism and shaming if you might not hold those same opinions. I quietly left class but the instructor was at the desk as I put on my coat. I quietly told her I know she noticed I left early, and that I was used to yogis that left us uplifted with quotes from poets, philosophers , or other yogis. That I felt she was giving a political lecture. She vehemently said " Yoga is political". But i feel it is spiritual not political, or at least should be. I was a drop in so maybe the members like this but if you plan on going to this location just be for warned. I was so put off and mad instead of the feeling of love and peace yoga has brought me over the years.

I don't usually leave reviews (I know I should more for the businesses I love) but felt the need to…read moreafter seeing Stephanie S.'s review. Not only is her review very misleading (because I was there at said class) but she wasn't honest about her behavior (which was embarrassing for her). Every class begins and ends with motivational quotes. Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Just because something isn't relevant to her life (how lucky) doesn't mean it isn't for someone else. She did not leave quietly, I got to hear her huff & puff and leave class early. I thought that was the end of it but she waited out in the lobby to confront the instructor & raised her voice enough about her Asian American family that came here "the right way" (crazy to assume someone else didn't) that she had to be asked to leave. Now I attend Bruna's class almost every week & always leave feeling empowered & strong. She is an amazing instructor & knows her stuff & I see it every class with how many members love her & look forward to her class. Anyways we love you Bruna & I will always recommend her & all the instructors at Midlo Hot Yoga & Wellness.

I came early, went to the wrong side of the mall and had to run to class. I ended up being two minutes late, the door was locked, and they had a sign blocking the door as well. I stood there for a second waiting to get in, but then someone shooed me away!! This was last week. One other time I booked, they canceled class the night before, and now when I want to actually go they wouldn't let me in? Huge disappointment. I'm a regular class passer and have NEVER been somewhere where there isn't a five minute grace period. And to lock people out?! I really hope they fix some things because this is isn't normal. Surely there are lots of people who have trouble finding this spot. It's in a MALL. Please do better

I'm so…read moreglad I made the trek from the Fan to Midlothian - this little jewel of a studio is so pretty and the owner, Sonja, really cares about her students and staff, which shines through. Located on the second floor of a stand alone building, the first thing I noticed when I walked in is how bright, clean and welcoming the studio is. There is an adorable boutique in the entry area where you check in. The boutique carries a thoughtful selection of yoga-centric items including yoga props (belts and blocks) essential oils, books and hand made jewelry. There's plenty of space to store your bags, coats, shoes and such before entering the studio. Once inside you immediately feel the light pouring in through the windows. The paint colors are calming and inviting. The room feels spacious but not overly large. Yoga props are plentiful and include great quality blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters and even sand bags. Spiritual Flow Yoga Studio offers a variety of class types including vinyasa flow, beginner, gentle, philosophy, meditation, restorative, pre natal and mama and baby. The studio is growing and additional classes are being added as needed. Private instruction is also available! I left the studio feeling great! The instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing yoga with the community. I will definitely be back to enjoy more classes!

My girlfriend, who is a regular yoga practitioner, and friends of mine have encouraged me to take yoga to increase my flexibility and maintain my level of fitness. My girlfriend encouraged for me to take a Beginner's Yoga Class at Spiritual Flow Yoga Studio, where she takes classes. We signed up for the Beginner's Yoga Class on Thursday evening, instructed by Celine. When class began, right away, I noticed something I hadn't expected-- a release of stress from a long day of work. Celine clearly explained the positioning of each pose in a patient voice and was also very encouraging. I continue to take classes at Spiritual Flow, and enjoy all of the instructors I have taken class with. I highly recommend Spiritual Flow to people of all different levels of practice, and with a desire to unwind and destress from our busy, busy lives.
