The studio is celebrating its 5 year anniversary. It's a one room studio so if you get there too…read moreearly or late the door is locked. I thought the classes were pricey for the area at $16 a class, but they do offer pay what you can community classes. According to their website they designed their studio environmentally green including using only "non-petroleum soy candles". Music is played during class which is nice. The studio has high ceilings and tall windows, but really only comfortably fits about 15 people practicing at once, but they can squeeze in 45 or so with mats 3 inches apart from each other. They have a store in the front with lots of books, dvds, and clothing. With a name like Blue Lotus I was expecting to see a blue wall somewhere or a lotus candle, something that plays on their name in the decor, but I think they were going for a white space with minimal decor. The students that come here are all very friendly and chat with each other.

I don't have the time or space for that during hot yoga--I'm focused solely on breathing, balancing, and my overall experience of what is happening in my body. It's truly refreshing! I enjoy the Saturday morning classes with Addie!

When I arrived at my first class, Matt assured me that this was a safe space, and it was okay if I needed to take a break. Matt's class was amazing and energizing! I love that he gave us space to be ourselves and just flow. I've been back to his class twice and to another class. I've enjoyed all my experiences and would highly recommend them!!

Looking forward to others.

This is the second yoga studio I haw tried since we moved to NC and this is my yoga home now…read more There is a nice balance between the physical practice and the soul practice. They have many classes, as early as 6 am, which for me is a big plus. The teachers make you feel welcomed, in fact, let me rephrase that by saying, they are genuinely interested in getting to know you. No fake stuff. I tried the new student pass and I have bought a membership.

I first started going when they first opened and had to take a break due to work schedule etc. I recently joined back and it was like I never left. Instructors remembered my name and for those who didn't know me, quickly introduced themselves and made me feel right at home. I was blown away on how quickly everyone remembers your name.. it's a small thing.. but to me it, it made a world of difference. It's proof they truly do care about getting to know their community. I signed up for the yearly unlimited pass and could not be happier with all of the classes they offer. They have been extremely safe during covid, making sure everyone wears masks. The studio is super clean and they offer hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. If you're wanting to be a part of a local Yoga community that you're always welcome in, look no further. Now more than ever we need to support local businesses and this one has been top on my list! Thank you YoBa!

I've experienced 2 different instructors and both were patient & encouraging, I even cried in one of the sessions because that particular practice resonated with me so much. The studio is very clean. The bathroom was in impeccable shape. They offer some amazing products for cleaning up too one in particular that caught my eye was the Indie Lee Product. I didn't bring a mat but I was able to us one of theirs, the fee is $2. They offer a wide variety of drinks and I heard someone raving about the coconut water. Signing in is easy and quick. You just find your name and press check in. The cubbies are in the front and they lock the doors during a session to ensure safety of your things. Overall the studio, class instructors and staff are amazing. Such an amazing place to do yoga in Raleigh. Ps, there is plenty of parking too.

After the class I was in dire need of a shower because I was headed to the grocery. I was pleasantly surprised to find the showers (very clean) had shampoo, conditioner and soap!

The entire vibe of the studio has shifted and it doesn't seem as upbeat and homey as it used to be. It seems like the instructors are not being treated fairly and that concerns me.

Instructors, you are loved by your students and we appreciate you showing up and teaching amazing classes!
