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!

I really enjoyed the 30 day into to FlyDog Yoga. I enjoyed taking aerial level 1 on Saturdays, as…read morewell as the Yin and Barre classes. As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.

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.

COMPLETELY able to teach this multifaceted 90 minute yoga class! During this month long internship, we learned every Sanskrit yoga pose term, how to teach meditation, yoga nidra, Hatha, Pranayama, studied Raja yoga and SO much more! The environment is SO supportive and "chill". Private rooms were nice and the 3 vegan meals a day were healthy and fantastic as well. There are many hiking trails here, and several fantastic places to meditate alone, or with a group. I highly recommend this program to any student who wants to fully immerse themselves into furthering their yoga practice AND gain a teaching certificate. Namaste

Adore adore adore! Lake Anna Wellness Studio is now my absolute favorite yoga studio…read more When my mom told me there was a good yoga studio on the lake, I was initially skeptical. I have done yoga in many locations, and currently live in Hawaii, where yoga has a fantastic presence. However, I wanted to give it a shot, so off I went. Upon entering the studio, I felt instantly calm. I was greeted by two lovely ladies, one who was the owner of the shop, Beth, and the other who turned out to be one of the instructors, June. I was coming to try the "Restorative Yoga" class. I used to practice yoga regularly, but since having my kiddo, yoga has been far in between for me. I was a little worried about how rusty I'd be, but I should not have worried--the instructor caters every movement to your yoga practice level, comfort level, and your needs. Before class we were offered a restorative drink, as well as some chocolate and fruit. It felt so luxurious--I felt pampered, honestly. (That's an added bonus for the evening restorative yoga classes, and makes me want to come every night they have it!) The class began. They'd set out all the items we would need, so it was a simple transition, just picking a spot. The instructor, June, walked us through everything, often explaining the thought process behind what we were doing. She also walked around and helped you get the correct posture or pose, gently. (The instructor even noticed I was having trouble with a certain position, and helped me find a way to strengthen my body after class!) I'm not going to go through every pose we did, or every part of the session, but I will leave you with this: It was good for mind, body, and soul. It was challenging, but fun. It was perfect for beginners, mid level folks, and yoga expert aficionados. Everyone there was at a different place in their practice, and we all enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend Lake Anna Wellness Studio, and can't wait to return! If you're considering it, you need to go! They also offer Pilates, Aerial Yoga, and All Levels Yoga classes! I am going to try them all!
