Customer service - A Environment/Vibe -A Class content/structure -A Mats and blocks available to rent daily, no need to bring anything along. Grateful for the opportunity to practice a few days with uptown and the variety of classes available. Highly recommended On a trip to Dallas, I called around on a Sunday to find a yoga studio to check out while I was in town. Got to 2 (1 slow flow and one mixed level) classes led by Alexandra, who is fantastic at the warm customer service side of things and leads a class that was easy to follow along with my eyes closed. 1 other mixed level class was with Naomi, a class that had an easy to follow, well-connected flow that connected breath and movement. They also had a small workshop available for new members that covered the basics of Sun salutation in detail which was great read more

I took this class through ClassPass, and it's a beautiful studio with lots of natural light and a small parking lot behind the building. The class was a bit faster-paced than I expected, especially as a beginner, but that's my only critique. The instructor was kind, and the class is a great energy booster. read more

I love Uptown Yoga, the teachers and the community. It's really helped my Yoga practice and is the perfect Neighbour yoga studio for my Husband and me. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to start or dive right back in. :) read more

Really great instructor and class. I do yoga a lot and really enjoyed the intensity of the session. Unfortunately they need to reduce the number of students per class. The studio is packed with people immediately next to each other. Makes it difficult to practice harder balance moves or makes it really hard if the person beside you doesn't have good etiquette :( Aside from that I would most definitely recommend it. read more

I canceled my membership at Uptown Yoga a few days ago. If you truly want to grow in your practice, don't go to Uptown Yoga and call it to be your home for yoga. I am over 14,000 hr teaching experienced not including the hours of the teacher trainings I have conducted and achieved multiple teacher certificates worldwide. I specialize in enriching the yoga teachers' teaching skills. Teachers here lead the class to many unfavorable poses and flows. Students have to do many high & low planks, more of side planks, more for side lunges, push ups, many lunges and nothing more than basic warrior 1, 2 & 3 and so on. And they repeat almost same things. Out of respect I followed their general etiquette and instructions, but it caused me to injure my right hip & extremely hard on my IT band. Teachers said that they would focus on releasing tension/tightness on hips, but the flow of the class would make hard on hips. Four teachers complained about my practice because I modified; when I couldn't do the full lunges due to the injury, I put my knee down. When students were in child pose, I did handstands or drop backs. When there was side twisting, I did side twisting too yet deeper versions or side crow and so on. Truth is that you pay for the class and for your growth in yoga journeys, but you cannot grow here. As long as your practice is beneath the teacher's level, they would love you. Diana gave me an impression that she loves my advance practice I do in her class cuz she said she learns from me. And she said she was looking for me in her class; she was overly sweet to me past few days and unfortunately I found a reason why she was sweet to me was because it was from her own guilt that she was one of teachers who complained about me. KB told me multiple times saying that she would love to get a private training from me outside Uptown Yoga and said she will call me for an appointment but she never did; it was a cover-up and she was also one of four teachers who complained about my practice. That is all lies behind their smiling face. Emily stopped saying hi to me when I walked in the studio and I had to initiate first to say hi to her. It is about pride and jealousy not love. I signed up at Uptown Yoga because the class description of "All Level" but it is misleading. I couldn't practice at my level but beneath teacher's level. Both teachers and the class description of Uptown yoga have failed me. Don't go there unless you want to do more high & low planks to get you sweating. You pay them for your space and your practice should grow in that space on your mat and do the asanas your body craves in your loving free spirit!! I found another yoga studio. The owner and teachers appreciated my practice and asked me to do at any level my body can do! If you want to grow in yoga, contact me at Mimiphillips1@gmail.com for the name of studio I am at now. read more

A friend invited me to a new moon sound bath. The set start time was 530. I arrived 10 minutes late. I'm not super familiar with the neighborhood and my first bus was cancelled. When I arrived both doors were locked. I knocked on the door multiple times, because I paid for this class hours in advance. There was no answer. Nowhere in the class description was it stated that an early arrival time was required to attend the class. So I was pretty upset. I've never had this experience with a yoga studio. Update: I reached out and was provided a one time refund. Apparently information about class start times is listed on Uptown's website. I looked around the website and didn't see this info. I don't want to complain on this studio too hard (esp since I haven't experienced a class) but it seems like a real inconvenience for first timers and newbies. read more

I was in town for a work convention & took the trolley to visit a class. It was super easy to register online & I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere was everything you'd want it to be and I really appreciated the intentional focus of love, which seemed to inform everything from setting an intention to holding a pose. It was a completely refreshing reset I would highly recommend to anyone. read more

To quote a great political leader of our time, Leslie Knope: "Everything hurts and I'm dying" While I am a newbie to this whole yoga thing, the entire experience was refreshing. Clean, artsy vibes and easy-to-register kiosk as you enter. With multiple locations, I see why this is a staple in the yoga community read more

I took Yoga Teacher Training at Uptown Yoga! I wanted to dive deeper into the practice and understand more about yoga. I decided Uptown would be the best place for it since I had been a long time student. The YTT program and certification was taught by Jenn Usherr-Davis and Lisa (Reynolds) Bevers. It was a journey into the history of yoga, it's impact on mind and body, its philosophy, and all the skills necessary to be a competent yoga teacher. The program also focused on safety on the mat and different modifications for all physicalities in mind. Learning about the philosophy of yoga was surprisingly inspirational. I was able to dedicate myself to meditation more authentically and with vigor. YTT forced me to look inward and reimagine what it means to teach yoga. My new ability to create yoga flows means that I can teach yoga as well as have a more profound impact in my own practice. I'm very grateful to have completed the YTT at Uptown Yoga. I highly recommend it! read more

Uptown Yoga - YTT January 2022. - Yoga Near Me - Dallas, Texas

FAVORITE studio in Dallas! I adore Alex and Stella, but really the whole staff is amazing.

First of all, I am not a "yogi", but I do enjoy going to yoga at least 3x a month. I've tried various studios and this one was probably one of my top two studios. Finding the location was kind of trick if you're not from the neighborhood, it's in a corner building in the middle of a neighborhood of townhomes. Walking in, you are greeted with the scent of incense in indoor brick. It's a nice little cozy space, and the yoga room is pretty spacious. I did like that they kept the studio warm, I feel like sweating a lot during a workout, really adds to the fact that I actually got up and went to go workout. I forgot what my instructor's name was, but she was VERY nice and helpful, but not overbearing. She was encouraging, but not in a way that made you feel embarrassed for being corrected in class. The music she played was mellow but energetic. (I took this class on the 8th @ 10:15am on a Saturday, so maybe that will help in finding who the instructor was). The poses we went through weren't too challenging, but they did test your ability to stretch. I would definitely come back here! read more

I love teacher Alex and came to the uptown location to take her class. She's amazing ! My normal location is Austin Ranch . But most of the teachers with Uptown are really great which is why I have continued my membership there. read more

Been going here for about a year and I absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing, especially Alex and Stella, and I always look forward to my classes there! Though it's not technically hot yoga, it does get a little warm in there, so I'd definitely bring a towel to mop up your sweat, and maybe think of investing in a yoga mat towel. read more

Had a class here and it was awesome. Its was a Saturday 10:30a focused on Balance and led by Alex. The studio is super cute and in a great neighborhood. Great vibes read more

The studio is beautiful, and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I really like that there are spot markers to make sure everyone's mats are spaced out enough, and I love that they have a token system for letting the instructor know if you're open to hands-on adjustments during that session. Especially if you're looking to take your practice to the next level, I highly recommend going to a class with Alex. Her instructions are easy to follow and she offers adjustments and suggestions throughout the session that make a world of difference! read more

This is probably the best yoga studio in Dallas! The studio is beautiful and whenever I'm here I just feel so peaceful and relaxed. The studio is so spacious and clean, provides mats and hand towels if you don't bring your own. The teachers here are amazing. I always go to Alex's and Jenn's classes. They have a small parking lot in the back of the studio, but you can also find street parking around (unless it's a busy weekday evening). Highly recommend this studio! You will always come out feeling better physically and mentally! read more

Clean, great class, welcoming, close by, great teacher. Made it easy for me to get back into yoga after a 10 year break!

Remember that guy who likes doing a handstand while the rest of the class are taking child's pose, down dog, shavasana, bridge, sun A (you get my point) and holding it for half of the duration of the class? Good news is, this guy doesn't come to Uptown Yoga so you're in luck. People of various shapes and levels come here, so I personally feel comfortable during classes. While I do enjoy this location, I like the Austin Ranch location a lot better. If it's your first time, parking can be challenging. The studio is cute and bright, but they really need to do a better job at keeping the floor clean. No one wants to sweat next to other people's sweat or see dust bunnies on the floor during practice. Now move on to the actual classes. They typically start 2-5 min late, and also end late so plan accordingly if you have other stuff to attend to. All the classes I've taken were consistent but different. Some focus more on the flow, while others focus more on proper forms. I've tried beginner, all level and advanced flow classes, all of them are manageable and challenging in a different way. Highly highly recommend the beginner classes, as you will hold poses longer (which is hard!) and learn proper techniques and forms. Classes are usually full at night, but the one morning class that I attended only had a few students. I tried 1 Sunday morning class, and OMG it was PACKED. So unless you enjoy knocking over your neighbors and a super hot room, please avoid this time frame. read more

Alex has a way of teaching that fills my soul. Her cadence, her voice, her humility, her sense of humor and her hands on individual approach are without comparison. The studio is just THE best environment for calm and peace. read more

I've heard great things about this studio and even brought my boyfriend with me to try it out. I was lured by an awesome promotion on their website for new students - $10 for 10 days. It's a great deal! Well, when I got to the studio and pulled up their website promotion, they said that they raised the price to $20 for 10 days, and that the person responsible for updating the website was out of town. They said it was $20 and they cannot honor the $10 for 10 days anymore. They said they sent emails in late December about the rate increase. However, that logic doesn't apply to new students if they don't receive your emails. While I am not opposed to paying the money, as a new student it just seemed like bad business when you are promoting one price and then when a new student arrives (lured by the awesome promotion) at the studio, you say that the price has gone up. If it's still advertised on your website, you should still honor the price. They said that I could always pay the drop-in rate of $20 to try one class. I was frustrated at that point with their logic and left the studio. They killed my zen vibe. To anyone interested in trying this place out, just buy a Groupon. It's a better deal anyway... read more

The yoga instructor Naomi was very kind.. it was my first time going and she was very very helpful with making sure I was stretching right and seemed to notice whenever I was feeling uncomfortable so she would help out for example bringing me some blocks to rest my head. Overall I will be coming back to the 8:30 session with Naomi as the instructor. The vibe was amazing, oddly enough I loved the sound of the AC unit outside because I have a terrible ringing in my ears in very quiet places. Thank you for opening my eyes to yoga and a different way to wind down Namaste! read more

I love going to this studio for yoga! Parking is limited but you can park along the street around the studio. If you don't want to bring a mat, you can borrow one of theirs for free. There are tons of cubbies for your things, changing rooms, bathrooms/showers, and filtered water as well as bottled water for a dollar. The actual studio is gorgeous, although a bit creaky when it's quiet and someone is walking around. Alex Grimm is the best yoga teacher I've experienced here and always does a different and unique flow, so I usually only come here for her classes. Classes in the afternoon can fill up so book in advance! read more

I love Uptown Yoga. The instructors are amazing, the facilities are great and it feels like family when I come for my practices. Highly recommend you check it out. My whole family has now joined me in practicing at Uptown Yoga. read more

The studio is very attractive and inviting and the instructors are great! Will definitely be coming back to explore other classes:

This place has it all: Knowledgeable and friendly instructors in a safe and inviting environment. Online and in person options are both great read more

Great atmosphere. Quality instruction. I really enjoyed my first class at Uptown Yoga.

The most humble and uplifting yoga studio in Dallas!

Love the instructors and the space! I always feel great after class I'll be a member for a while.

I love everything about this studio, most especially the fantastic teachers. Uptown Yoga is my sanctuary away from home. ‍

I've been doing yoga for over 10 years and I'm shamefully a total studio snob... but I LOVE Uptown yoga. The studio itself is beautiful, the teachers are all awesome at modifying the classes to each students level of ability, and there is definitely a community vibe that a lot of studios in the are seem to have a hard time manifesting. read more

I was in Dallas from Denver for an extended work trip. I was looking for a yoga studio that has that certain something that's hard to articulate. It's a place where you feel like you're getting a warm hug when you walk in. A place where it feels both peaceful and energizing. A place where the people are real and authentic and welcoming- where you feel like a part of a community. Which for an out- of-towner, is a pretty big deal. Unfortunately, the vibe in some studios is more about what brand of clothing you're wearing. On the other end, some studios can be a bit too woo-woo. Uptown is a nicely balanced atmosphere. This studio is a damn gem! The ambiance is fantastic. The studio is a big space; you don't feel like you're on top of others. There's a variety in teacher styles & types of classes. Every human that works there is engaging and friendly. The clients are as well. I highly recommend checking this studio out!! read more

I like the class. I got a good workout and definitely zenned out at the end, but parking was scarce and the instructor (Melissa) moved kind of fast through the flows so it was hard to enjoy the moment you were in, but I would come back to for the workout. read more

Inflexible policy - my flight was delayed and I was unable to rollover my credit or cancel the reservation without a $14 fee, despite notifying 4 hours in advance over both call and email (they didn't answer even though their website said they were open). Other companies in the area, specifically Pure Barre and V12 Yoga, are way more understanding and accommodating even through ClassPass. read more

Disclaimer: When I began at UY, I was a brand new yogi -- meaning, I had never ever in my life done a single yoga pose. Yoga has always been on my bucket list, and as I began to dig myself into a deeper, more miserable hole with my current job, I realized I needed something to do each week for ME. What a concept. I walked in on a Saturday morning in late April, and was greeted by Alex, the teacher of the beginner class I was attending. She was kind and very informative. Since that day, I have attended every beginners class UY offers (at Lakewood and Uptown locations) with the exception of maybe 3. I have truly fallen in love. Some pros: -- High-quality Manduka yoga mats to not only borrow, but buy. -- Plenty of towels for cleaning, face wiping, etc., blocks, straps... -- Extremely caring instructors who I truly love. I have taken from Alex, Naomi, Maria, Liz, and Eppie -- each has been amazing. Only one time did I have a "mean" instructor. I think that was just her style, but I haven't been back to a class with that person. I guess that's the beauty of picking and choosing on a schedule. Very few cons: -- Some of my classes tend to start late...but they also tend to go over, as well, to make up for it. If you have something to go to ASAP after class, be aware. -- As other reviewers have mentioned, you're packed in pretty tight. I've learned that yoga is my practice and my practice only, so if I hit someone's hand on accident, who cares? Apologize and move on. Little things: -- There's a reason I continue to go to Beginner's Classes, even after having been a member for about 4 months - they're tough! The teachers always provide modifications, however, if you're a newbie or just feeling not so shabby that day. -- They lock the studio once class begins, so your keys/wallet are always safe. Really gives me peace of mind. -- There are occasional events that the studio puts on, like anatomy classes and special guests. Love Uptown Yoga. Can't wait to continue my practice. read more

The classes here are no joke. Challenging and fast paced classes are offered at very conveinent times throughout the day which I really like. I love the neighborhood vibe of this studio, with its big room and friendly staff. With that said, I felt really uncomfortable when I took my first class here. It seemed as though everyone else is a "regular" and I didn't know what to do or where to go. I wish someone would have shown me where to put my purse, how the room was set up, where to get mats/blocks/etc. so I felt more at ease. read more

Sooooooooo I'm in love. I'll admit it's a bit of a love/hate relationship.....but I'm smitten none-the-less. I've always wanted to try out yoga. I did ONE session years ago off a Yoga video.....sucked. I knew that actually going to yoga studio would be better, but just never really pursued it. That is until the recent Uptown Yoga groupon popped up.....30 days unlimited yoga for $35 bucks. SOLD! Let's just see what all the hype is about. I LOVED it. First, their Uptown location is so cool...its in the midst of lofts/apartments/and the hustle and bustle of uptown...but tucked away just enough that you still feel very calm and serene when you leave. The inside is perfect for the mood it needs to set....brick walls, big mirrors, candles, hard wood floors, big windows and the rafters showing. Lots of charm...I like it already. The check-in was easy, the way they keep up with you is organized and hassle free. Getting better every second. While waiting for my beginners class to start, I check out the merchandise. I'll admit, the stuff was pricier than I would have imagined, but everything in there was top quality. If you are a dedicated yoga-er (go with it)....then I would assume this is the stuff you would want to spend a little cash on. They also had mats for beginners to borrow, a place for members to store their mats, cubbies for you to store your things while in class, 2 bathrooms & one with a shower (for those morning classes before work) and a massage room. YUP, you can get massages there. Might have to look into that! My class began. I highly recommend taking the beginners class before diving in. The instructor is awesome, very soothing voice.....slower pace....explains poses, etc. I left there so relaxed that I was amazed....and already couldn't wait for my next class. I've been two more times since then....to the All Levels Vinyasa classes. These are much faster and have more difficult poses, but the thing I love most about this place and these instructors is that they stress to you to ONLY do what your body says it can do. As you progress, you'll be able to go further and do some of the more difficult poses you see other people around you doing. This is not a pretentious place....They stress to you not to care what you look like while doing poses, everyone looks silly...but to just breathe, enjoy it, and explore your own bodies limitations. It's just so.....stress relieving. And we ALL know we can use a little of that. Tips: * be sure to bring a sweat towel.....I've never sweat this much in my life. * bring a bottle of water for your drive home...after sweating that much, you'll be ready to chug some H2)....they also have some there on sale for a $1 a bottle. * They have matts to borrow if you are just testing it out, but if you love it like I do, check out getting your own matt....I've seen some really cool ones in there! * Get there EARLY....those classes fill up FAST. IF you want a spot, get there at least 10 minutes early My ONE complaint. The reason they didnt get 5 stars: The last two Vinyasa classes I went to were so crowded, that it was almost uncomfortable...which fights the purpose of yoga all together. I still enjoyed it, but in my last class I was next to a new person, who I could tell was NOT ok with being that close to me or her neighbor, which in turn made me very uncomfortable. Not cool. I just feel like they overcrowded that room by at LEAST 10 people....I am happy for them that they are so busy, but jeez......it's losing it's relaxing atmosphere when on every other pose I am worried about hitting/kicking/rolling over on my neighbor....or if they are going to do that to me. Just a thought...lighten the load JUUUUST a tad. So there. Enjoy. Relax. Breathe. Namaste. read more

Good vibes, caring/knowledgeable instruction, comfortable/clean space. The warm temperature is effective.

I LOVE this studio because it is everything Sunstone is not (big, chain, gimmicky). It is small, quiet and intimate. There are a variety of classes and instructors for all types of yogi's out there. They do have a $10 for 10 days special which I wish I could come in wearing a wig and use a fake identity to capitalize on this great deal again. I prefer their Vinyasa flow because it is a little bit faster transition of movements and feels more like a calm cardio workout. They have mats available for use as well as a place for regulars to store their mats and not have to bring them back and forth. There is even a massage room on premises. I found this place to be serene and it I love that they play music in the class and keep the room closer to 80-85 degrees instead of smelly 95. Your muscles still stay warm and it doesn't reek to high hell in the room. For all you yoga haters and non-believers that this is actually a workout- you will sweat more in this class than you can imagine and you will def get your heart pumping. Go, check it out, calm your mind and work your body. Namaste. read more

I've been jonesin' to get back onto my yoga horse for months, but due to work and other assorted life events it has been difficult to find the time. In the meantime, I did my internet homework on yoga in Dallas. After reading the super positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to give Uptown Yoga a try. The studio sounded like the sort of place I would enjoy practicing at. So this week I finally had time to swing by after work to check out their Uptown location. Wow. I was so disappointed from the moment I walked in the door. The disinterested staff member at the desk (I think her name was Dallas, hi Dallas, thanks for not greeting me) to the sardine-can packed class room (and I was there 10 minutes early) almost had me running back out the door. But, hey, yoga is for me, not anyone else and I'm willing to give it a whirl. As I filled out my form, a steady stream of people continued to enter the studio. While paying up, I asked the smiling instructor if there was still any room left and she replied, "oh yes, we can fit up to 70 in there". I think there were about 45 that day and we were spaced 6 inches apart. I don't see how they could have fit any more people in there. However, my spidey senses went into oh-I-told-you-so overdrive when I watched the instructor don one of those motivational speaker headset microphones. No thank you, flexible Tony Robbins, I am not buying your book. Now about the content: the class was definitely advanced vinyasa, which even at my yoga peak I would have found intimidating. Sure, I sweat loads, but I think that was more due to having been packed into a brick canister with exposed wooden joists. The content was challenging and interesting, but definitely not beginner. And because of the challenging content, more than SIX INCHES between yogis would have been called for. I don't appreciate staring right into Lululemon covered butt when I try to open my heart chakra or get thwacked in the arm because my neighbor is super bendy and can get into reverse pretzel. Tony Robbins, learn to modify your flows based on your classroom situation!! The experience that other reviewers rave about is long gone. It's a shame that Uptown Yoga doesn't follow their own rules to lock the doors right at 5:30 but instead chooses to leave them open and pack the house to bursting. Hey Uptown Yoga owners, how about limiting the class sizes and turning people away once you hit 30 people? Or how about cancelling your relentless Groupons? Oh wait, you're a business in downtown Dallas, you're only in it for the money. read more

Cozy studio right in the heart of the State Thomas neighborhood. Street parking was easy enough though I went at noon during the week. The core class was amazing - my abs still hurt! The instructor/class was very welcoming, non-judgmental and chill. The studio is smaller but has all the basics you need. They only have one room at this location but it's huge, warm, and inviting, and I would imagine it fits a lot of yogis! My class wasn't crowded when I went so we all had room to spread out. It's a really convenient location serving the Uptown crowd, can't wait to go to another core class! read more
