I hadn't been to an Iyengar yoga class for 25 years and was pleasantly surprised to see it offered in the classes. The monthly sound bath class is quite a treat and the yin class is a must-do. This is such a wonderful studio and all seem welcome.

I loved the classes here! I was a total beginner when I started, and one of the best things about…read morethis studio is that they have a variety of class levels -- Beginners, Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Mixed-Level, Hot Yoga, etc -- so after I felt comfortable with the basics, I could progress to the other kinds and improve my practice. The instructors were really amazing and were always attentive to everyone in the class, both beginners who needed more guidance in postures or advanced yogis who may have wanted a deeper stretch in certain areas. Classes are also spaced 15-30min apart so the instructors often stayed after class to answer any questions the students had. The atmosphere of the classes is also incredibly calming and renewing. All classes had music in the background with candles lit softly towards the front of the class. Often the instructors would come around during shavasana to give a temple rub, shoulder adjustment, or even some lavendar oil. After just 1 month of classes, I was visibly more toned, I could finally bend all the way down in camel's pose (!), and felt so much calmer. I highly recommend coming here.

Colleen is an excellent instructor! I have attended both in-person and by Zoom. The classes are a…read moregentle mix of yoga and pilates, which is good for me as a 72 year old in reasonably good shape. Colleen is very thorough in instructing and uses lots of imagery ("imagine your spine is a string of pearls") which helps foster the learning to know one's body. In the studio she is very attentive to each student and watches to assist poses. The space is warm, clean, visually appealing, and orderly. The classes I attend are restorative, I would say, where some props are used. This is not the tpe of class where more time is spent arranging than actually engaging your body.. She also instructs in how to modify a pose or movement and givers space to do that depending on your needs. What has been helpful for me personally is stretching of muscle groups, and the attention paid to moving hip and shoulder joints which are often problem areas for seniors. Yesterday's session involved legs and hips--"drawing circles on the ceiling", doing bridges, and more than I can't recall right now. We also take time to shake out muscles after movement. Within 12 hours I had some relief of pain, which says a lot about the benefits of this work.

What a warm space with a caring instructor!…read more The location can be a challenge to reach, there's no sign to search for but once you get there you'll be grateful. The ambience is fantastic, perfect for a relaxing experience. I felt welcomed and at home, the space is small but don't take that as a negative sign. The space accommodates 12 people comfortably, this allows the instructor to have time for one on one. The front wall of the yoga room has a garden for you to enjoy during your practice, helps when trying to find something to focus on. I went to a group yoga session and had a lovely experience. The instructor makes time throughout the session to walk around and aid any of those in need. She genuinely cares about our success and experience in the practice. It nice to see this, especially in a full class like ours. She has a beautifully personality that makes people gravitate towards her. She not only teaches yoga but offers 2 hour tai chi massages... something to try in the future. My only complaints would be the hours, most of the sessions are in the daytime and not many options for late evening.

I've done yoga in the past so am not a newbie (although haven't done much in recent years). The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The instructors seem much less experienced than what I experienced in the past. There were few classes that fit into my schedule and location. The studio itself is pleasant enough (although it can get warm with direct sunlight). However, if you are a newbie or a bit shy, this might be the right fit for you.

But, they offer a bunch of other classes, mini-retreats as well . Some of which I do. I enjoy the community practice group. I always learn something new that I can use. The instructors are professionals in healthcare or folks volunteering their knowledge from years of experience doing what they are teaching and showing you how to do, which you can do or not, they don't get in my hair about it. They really take care of their facility and about issues of privacy and personal comfort. In my opinion I get a lot for my membership fee.

I've struggled lately to find a studio that I love, SumitsKC fits the bill. I stumbled upon SumitsKC by accident and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This studio offers a variety of classes every day. The room is hot, but without the typical "hot yoga odor" as found in most other hot studios. Sumits style is a mix of Bikram and Vinyasa, my two favorites. They also offer PiYo and other classes if you wanna shake things up a bit. Highly recommend this studio. Namaste ‍

Found a Groupon for hot yoga - read about the benefits and decided let's do this!!! I tried a few of the classes on the unlimited month. The sumits 60 was not the first class I should of been trying - wish I could eventually build up to that level though. The restore and relax classes are nice when you just want to relax and stretch and enjoy the heat. My favorite class is with Joni on Wednesday mornings - the slow and flow class. It's just slow enough to keep up for me but not too fast and I love her enthusiasm and loooove the hot yoga aspect. Try it out.

The space is beautifully calm, and spacious enough to accomodate a big group. The high, exposed ceilings means tall yogis will have no barriers, and the cork floors are very comfortable and warm to walk on barefoot (of course, the day outside wasn't a mid-November one, either.) All the accessory props you'd need were there, even a mat (free!) if you just want to give it a one-time trial. The class was taught by Patricia, who is one of the founding owners. She was very knowledgeable, offered hands-on assists to her students, paced her classes well, and was an encouraging instructor. I love how the yoga practice room sees no shod feet due to how it's arranged with the entry downstairs. However, this confused me for a brief moment when trying to enter: the entrance is actually around the back of the building near the farmer's market shelter, not at the storefront on Santa Fe Dr. Word has it that Saturdays require a bit of creativity in parking because of the market, too.
