I live out of town and taking virtual online yoga classes at Alchemy is the best decision I've ever made! Evonne is an extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and caring yoga teacher. She does a complete & comprehensive assessment of my body, mind, & environment during virtual classes. Based on what she learnt from her assessment, she engaged my body in the most pain-relieving yoga session. I felt better & energized after the session. Also, the way she stayed in constant communication before, during, and after each session shows so much care and intention for her clients. Alchemy is the only yoga studio for me!!!

I've tried several yoga studios, but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, none of them felt just…read moreright. As Yelper Hannah G perfectly put it, "With how saturated the yoga market is, it was hard for me to find a place that I connected with". For me, that place has turned out to be Sukha Yoga. Sure, Mark (co-founder) has no idea who I am--I've only taken his class once--but that single experience left a lasting impression. I attended his Saturday Bhakti Service: Flow, Meditation, and Sound, an 80 min class that collaborates an intentional vinyasa flow practice with mindfulness. For "busy" folks who struggle to slow down or are close-minded, this class (and maybe even this style of practice) might not be for you. As Mark's fists say, he certainly is a "GURU." He guides his class with intention and power, while also subtly weaving in his musical talents, playing several instruments and even singing, in a way that feels genuine and somehow not cringe. The class is structured, yet somehow freeing. Mark allows you to set your own pace during sun salutations, which feels like pure magic. The experience made me feel grounded and safe. I could have cried with how deeply content my soul felt. BONUS: If you love dogs, you'll probably find Mark's extremely well behaved mini doodle, Mai, practicing her down dog. If you don't, there's a door... NOTE: For first timers, it's located next door to Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co--easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

Another day, another new yoga studio. This time I found myself just off South Lamar at Sukha Yoga…read morefor a 6am practice. I arrived at the studio and it was still dark out. Finding the studio and parking was a bit difficult, but once I was inside it felt warm and inviting. There was a small waiting area with some seating which led right to the studio itself. Not huge, but cozy. The class started on time and the instructor took us through a well sequenced flow. It was powerful but far from overwhelming. The studio was supposed to be heated, but it's possible I was not near enough to an infrared light which kept me from getting a sweat in. After the class was over, the instructor invited me to join a small group for a Barton Springs plunge. Really appreciated the community building outside of class! Thanks again and I'll look forward to returning and trying out some other class styles!

I was pretty sure I was going to love the Austin Yoga Institute right away. Since my yoga training…read moreis in the Iyengar method, I sought out a Iyengar-exclusive studio when I move to Austin. From what I can tell, the Austin Yoga Institute is the only yoga school in the city that has an Iyengar curriculum. So if you want to focus your yoga on the Iyengar method, this is definitely the place for you. I've taken classes with three different teachers at this point. They all have different personalities and teaching styles, but I enjoyed working with all of them. Each is well-trained, personable, and able to help you work around any chronic problems you might have. In addition, they all seem to be willing to help each other out, meaning that if a teacher can't make it that day due to illness or emergency, another teacher is able to step in and help out. Since I have a day job, I attend the 6 p.m. class on Mondays and Wednesdays. These classes have never had more than 10 peope in them. The daytime and weekend classes might be fuller, but I can't be sure. Another perk to the studio is that it offers teacher training in the Iyengar method. So if you want to be an Iyengar instructor, this is probably your best option. And for complete beginners to yoga, there is an 8-week series designed for people with no yoga experience. So whether you're just starting out, or you're looking to become a teacher, Austin Yoga Institute has something for you. I will warn you that the school's fees are pretty expensive. However, there are discounts for students and for people who practice green transportation practices (taking the bus, riding a bike). And if you're really hard up for money, the teachers are willing to work with you. So if you really want to take yoga classes but find the cost prohibitive, I encourage you to talk to one of the teachers to find out about alternative accomodations.

The Iyengar method, which is the only flavor served here, is one of the most intensive and detailed hatha methods.

Founder Peggy Kelley has been at this stuff around forty years and has been selfless in the early promotion of yoga in Austin. I have had classes with about half of the teachers here and all were very good. If I lived South of the river, this would be my regular yoga haunt!

His dry sense of humor provided just enough levity through the hot heated room, but I think I was the only person laughing. I loved the intention behind each pose, as I was able to find my way to the peak pose in a way I hadn't before. I also appreciated the strength building in the legs and the poses that promoted hip stability. Super important! I'm glad it wasn't just the regular old flow that everyone else teaches. I was also glad there wasn't music.

The office/front end (?) staff is unprofessional, cliquey, and over the top rude if you're not "one…read moreof them." The only reason I've ever even ventured so far out of Austin proper to this place is for 2 sound bath events that a beloved practitioner was hosting. I've had horrible interactions with their check in people both times and heard similarly from others who aren't "regulars" here. This is not a knock on the general people in this part of Austin as the folks I've had the opportunity to experience/get to know in class on both occasions have been lovely. It's a review based on the unnecessarily bad interactions with staff in this studio during the check in process for after hrs classes. Tonight, I walked in and waited directly next to a woman (who look most like the pic for "Liz D" who I never met before 8/8) who was clearly responsible as "the one checking people in with a manual sheet of names that she's confirming payment for before allowing entry into the room next door." As I'm waiting, she acts like I'm wearing an invisible cape and makes a big show of happily greeting 4 people who walk in after me and tells them to go ahead to the sound bath room w/o doing any checklist scratch off things (these peeps, btw aren't on "the list" which I can clearly see standing 5" to her side on the right). I interject into her happy greeting of another clique member to say I need to check in as I've paid for class. She asks my name and then points to someone named Anteylou (sp?) as the only "Ann" she sees. I repeat that my name is "Ann" not what she's pointing to and she proceeds to tell me I'm not on the list and starts to walk away. As she's departing I more loudly state I clearly see my name in the first column and spell it out for her. She turns around, glares at me, rolls her eyes, looks back at her clique, and gives me her best/worst valley girl impersonation of an obnoxious "Oh that's so great, thanks for letting me know!!! Have a great time!!!!!" And then smirks looking back at her clique encouraging them to giggle. WTF?! I will never be back to this location as the front end staff (or at least the women who worked the last 2 events on 8/8 and 7/21) have such awful demeanors that vomit an unexpected bad vibe on you when all you're trying to figure out is who the person is to "check in with because you paid for a spot in the room" that you have to focus on releasing and transmuting that ick before you can actually start enjoying class. :( Not sure if these women doing the check ins for special sound bath classes that begin at 8 pm are frustrated with having to work after hours and the manual task of and scratching out names of paid guests who aren't part of their clique on a handwritten list or they have other difficult personal matters going on in life in general, but goodness, ya'll don't need to take it out on the guests who've signed up and paid for a class! If you're paid and/or volunteered to check people into a class/session it's pretty easy to just confirm names and say WELCOME and move along. If that's frustrating for you, don't agree to do it. Problem solved! If you're an adult, I don't recommend anyone trying this place. So MANY other kind places in Austin that are a better way to spend your time and $$.

I've been to Black Swan Yoga's Orchard location twice now and I really it! The heated yoga class…read morewas amazing and everyone has been so nice.

Overall, both classes were great and the trainer was pretty good, I had an amazing experience here!

Generally I love Black Swan! I've been going to their Flow classes for years. Here's the thing:…read moreBlack Swan lists a bunch of their classes just as "Flow" but each one is led by a different teacher with a different style and different definition of "all-level." Your experience will vary based on the teacher and time of day. 5:30pm - you're gonna get a sweaty, packed room and hardcore workout. 8:30pm - you're gonna get a chill vibe more focused on stretching and winding down for the day. I'm glad they offer both, but it's hard to know what you're gonna get when you book. I literally started keeping a list of teacher's names to note if I liked their style or not ‍ Parking sucks at Orchard (& Cesar Chavez). Get there early to find a spot. Also, they also don't clearly advertise that the rooms are heated. Trust me - bring a sweat towel!
