I made the mistake of going to another hot studio in Northern VA and was bitterly disappointed. The energy and atmosphere that Studio South has is unmatche. Now I'm no professional yogi or advanced anything, but the instructors are respectful and kind while still helpful and constructively critical. The studio is CLEAN. Such a huge deal to me, and I didn't even realize until I saw another hot studio with carpet instead of the hard flooring. There is never any odor, even at the height of class. AND there is an immense student discount!! 275$ for the year or something like that when I've seen memberships as high as 1800. read more

I won't return here. They have a crazy cancellation policy which does not permit you to cancel over the phone. There was about an 8-month period where I couldn't attend (due to "life,"), so for 8 months I paid the monthly fee thinking I'd start up again at some point and 8 months I paid them and didn't use anything I was paying for. After about 8 months I decided that at that time, I probably wasn't going to go back for a while. I was out of town on a trip when I called to cancel, and they would not cancel my membership over the phone. It was a lengthy trip, so I got charged an additional 2 months for a membership simply because I was in a completely different state and they would not cancel my membership over the phone or even just send me an email cancellation option. You'd think, since we are almost in 2020, that they could figure out a way to accommodate people who need to cancel via phone or email. No. I had to wait until I returned and could physically go in to cancel - absolutely ridiculous, and I was charged for an additional 3 months because of that. It has been almost a year, and this still makes me upset. I will never go back to this studio due to what I feel was extremely poor customer service. I understand they have this noted on their webpage -- you'd better make sure you read everything before you sign up with them, is all I can say. Personally, I find it ridiculous and I'll find another yoga studio. Other than this issue, I actually enjoyed this studio and I would have highly recommended them to anyone. But after that -- I'm sorry, but I don't understand why someone can not cancel over the phone or via email. It's a bit ridiculous to require someone to personally go in and cancel, especially if they are in a completely different state. What would have happened if I had moved and forgotten to cancel? Would they just keep charging me and I would have to purchase a plane ticket solely to come and cancel my membership in person? It's almost 2020, people -- time to get into the digital age. read more

Today I enjoyed two classes from home!Something I was never able to accomplish before this Staying Home Time. Luckily, my favorite studio never missed a beat and while they closed the studio doors they blew the virtual possibilities wide open. Now I can just sign up for classes and enjoy them LIVE on line. LIVE is so much better and motivating. Community is important! I'm getting to try instructors I never had class with before due to my own hectic life. Added bonus: no extra fees for my cats to join in on class! No judgement as per usual as a novice I am inspired to see my yoga mates doing it their way during class. Grateful to still have yoga even though so much else is upside down. read more

This studio looks good on the outside. It is very clean and offers a variety of classes. However, it has become more of a boutique lately and it seems as though the owner is more interested in selling merchandise than the practice of yoga. She seems to have lost her way a bit. People who work there for years disappear without any explanation and there have been many over the 4+ years I went there. It was OK (other than the monthly fee) until I asked to take a leave of absence for a month for a very personal issue. I was told I would have to "rejoin" when I returned at the $139 a month versus the $109 I was paying. This is extremely expensive. I found a new Yoga home and am saving so much money as well as practicing with a lot of true Yogis. read more

Studio South is a wonderful yoga community and so much more: in good times and times of crisis the yogis are so positive and supportive of your individual yoga practice, all while building a warm, welcoming fellowship in yoga, barre, and other outlets. The creation of the Om From Home sessions are just what many need right now. I am grateful to SS for responding quickly and creating this online opportunity for yoga and connection to others. read more

Studio South - Barre Classes Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I adore Studio South and so appreciate the founder, instructors and facility. They care deeply about their members and strive to be of service to them physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When Covid-19 hit and required social distancing and sheltering in place, the studio expanded its offerings in a matter of a few days to support instructors live streaming classes from their homes and in making on demand videos of classes available 24/7 to members. Thank you so much for all you do to foster joy, hope, belonging and vitality by boosting my mindfulness, stamina, strength, flexibility, stability and dexterity. read more

The studio is very clean and many classes are taught by wonderful instructors. However, many teachers seem to lack theoretical background in the principals/teachings of yoga. For example, in class once an instructor explained dharma incorrectly as the spark that brings you joy. I'm ok with a person not knowing things but don't presume to explain the philosophy of yoga without doing some reading first. It isn't supposed to just be a form of exercise. Also, as of late, the customer service has not been very good. Given the high cost, this is not ok. I've found a new place to practice with a more humble vibe and won't ever be going back. I wish them good luck. read more

This place has it all! When joining any workout/gym/studio we all feel a bit out of place at first but not here. The staff is friendly and amazingly helpful. They walk you through all the classes and are more than happy to answer any questions. This was my first time at trying Barre classes and I'll admit I was hesitant. The staff being so helpful and friendly put all my reservations at rest and now I can't stop telling all my friends how amazing they are!!! This place makes you feel like family. I look forward to seeing the staffs friendly faces everyday and love the challenge of all the classes. read more

See all

Studio South is the most welcoming, friendly place I've ever been to. I've never felt out of place or awkward, and people have gone out of their way to remember my name. Thanks for providing a comfortable space where I can work on improving myself and have a great time doing it! read more

I love this studio! The studio itself is beautiful and relaxing. The barre classes are the perfect with a lot of barre, a bit of yoga, a little stretching and then ending with a peaceful relaxation and a lavender eye pillow. I have since moved and am still in search of a place just like Studio South! read more

I loved this adorable studio! I was visiting Williamsburg for a week and came to this studio three times. From my first visit, I was treated as though I'd been practicing here for years. There's a wonderful selection of clothing, mats, crystals and books in the beautiful entry area. I practiced with a variety of teachers, all very different in style, but all warm and wonderful. There's a small changing area and... get this... they don't have lockers, just cubbies that cannot be locked. We aren't in NYC anymore, Toto. Seriously though, I love that community feel and that you can leave your belongs without fear of anything being taken. This is a wonderful place. If I lived in Williamsburg, I would 100% belong to this studio. read more

The staff is friendly, the classes are what they are described but overall you can't beat the welcoming vibe you get. Just started at the studio and now I am addicted to it. They offer all different classes at different times to accommodate anyone. read more

I love this studio, the teachers and practices are very special to me. I am so happy when I can get to a practice and take time to breathe.

Best yoga studio in Williamsburg, VA. Love it all! Super friendly, good prices, always clean and the teachers are THE best.

Studio South is a fabulous addition to the Williamsburg community! The hot yoga classes are of the highest quality and the instructors are all knowledgeable and inviting. The barre classes are a really fun and challenging way to get a workout (and this is coming from a former ballet dancer)! The environment of the studio is warm and inviting--no one is a stranger to Katy, Meghan or the rest of the team. If you've been looking to try yoga or barre and haven't made up your mind on whether or not to give Studio South a try, do it! I couldn't give it a higher recommendation. Absolutely wonderful place! read more

Just finished hot yoga with Felix. His voice was very tranquil and relaxing. I was very nervous about trying hot yoga but everyone was very welcoming and kind. The shop is very cute and they have towels for your matts, matts to rent and cubbies for your belongings. The studio was very dim upon arrival to allow for relaxation and the temperature was perfect. Felix moved right into his set-up and it flowed nicely giving plenty of water breaks & time to towel off. The cold towel at the end that he places on your forehead was dipped in lavender and was the perfect end to a great yoga session. I will be back! read more

I was in Williamsburg visiting family for the holidays and signed up at Studio South for a week unlimited pass. This studio is committed to providing a professional, challenging, and positive environment for their members. I was so impressed. Each instructor was very knowledgeable and helped create a tough workout in every class (I was there for barre). Everyone I met there was warm, friendly, and engaging. If I lived there I would definitely join this amazing community. read more

I've practiced yoga in almost every state, and I like this studio the best by far. I practiced at this studio when it only had one, now it has two. From the availability and diversity of the schedule to the free hand towels, to the cold compress after hot yoga, to the lavender masks after barre, this studio is NR 1! Katie is very accommodating and very easy to work with. I look forward too future visits to this studio. read more

This is my happy place! The atmosphere is welcoming. It is beautifully maintained, clean and the staff is so attentive and friendly. The teachers are passionate about sharing yoga (whatever that is to you). There is no sense of exclusivity or separation. Everyone is very approachable (including other patrons) and happy to offer suggestions if asked. It's the one place I can just let it all go! Thank goodness! read more
