Just a little info before you decide on a studio: there are many kinds of yoga you can practice…read more (See: http://www.yogajournal.com/basics/165) The most pervasive form practiced in north/northeast Orlando appears to be the westernized power/flow yoga. While this form is a good workout, it isn't for everyone at all times. For those interested in something reflective, more meditative, yet still provides excellent muscle training, Iyengar yoga is recommended. Problem: there are no Iyengar classes in Orlando. Just as good as Iyengar is Anusara yoga, a type of yoga developed by John Friend which takes from the Iyengar form and builds on its principles. I have visited many studios in N/NE Orlando. Most of the teachers at these studios have not been practicing long and have been teaching for less. This doesn't mean they aren't good teachers, it's just that with many years of experience comes wisdom and better teaching practices which equals a better more safe experience for you. I know a good teacher when I see one. I've practiced all kinds of yoga, been practicing for a while, and have taken classes with the best teachers in Los Angeles and San Francisco. I found Lake Center Yoga when I was looking for a teacher with many years of experience and someone who taught something other than power yoga. Sri Ekan and Nirgunavathi Ananda teach Anusara yoga at this studio. They have been practicing yoga for 36 and 31 years, respectively. (From what I've seen, the average length of practice for any teacher in Orlando has got to be ten years, if that.) I knew that this place was a gem after one visit. Sri Ekan's teaching style was casual without pretense or pedantry. I left the class feeling high as a kite and with knowledge that complemented my current practice. The studio itself is on the smaller side with a great view of a lake. The vibe is welcoming and laid back. The people were warm and friendly and of varying ages, ethnicity and build. Of note, there is a resident mascot, Honeybear, who has got to be one of the sweetest dogs I have ever encountered. I encourage everyone to give this hidden gem of a yoga studio a try. You will not be disappointed.

So much more than Yoga! This is such a special spiritual oasis. The studio overlooks the lake and…read moreclasses are so peaceful when the sun is setting because you have a front row view to God's beautiful art. The yoga classes are a perfect blend between meditations, asanas, and pranayamas. For 6 weeks the classes are created to all reside within a theme, and each class focuses on a certain element within that theme. I've learned so much, not just about yoga, attending LCY. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I do the hot vendosa yoga on Tuesdays at 5:30. Sue is a fantastic instructor, she offers lots of modifications for the newer yogis and more challenging poses for the advanced. There's always a great group there and a variety of levels so you never feel like you're in the wrong class. The studio is always very clean and inviting. If you're looking for a fabulous yoga studio in Oviedo look no further.

I've taken a few classes at Yoga Joint in Boca Raton, so I'm very excited to have a location here in Winter Park! I love that the lockers have the ability for you to create a 4 digit combo to lock up your valuables before class. It gives me more peace of mind. I took both the Flow60 and FIIT45 classes. Flow is more for a relaxing vinyasa yoga flow, and the Fiit is a high intensity interval workout. I didn't feel overwhelmed or judged by others in the FIIT class. Everyone goes at their own pace and prioritizes water breaks when needed. It was a week full of great workouts and flows and I will gladly be coming back for more classes soon!

I did the FIIT class it was amaaazing, but this is NOT a yoga class. It's more like hot Pilates! Studio was dope!! Lights and music were extremely motivating and upbeat Instructor was Alyssa and she was very knowledgeable- explained why we were doing what we were doing and gave multiple variations. High energy and intensity. I'm definitely coming back. Their membership are not the most expensive I've seen- very fair for what they offer and it's per month with 30 notice. Sounds like a good deal if you don't want to be locked in long contracts

Special speakers came in several times and did workshops with the students.It was really wonderful journey. The studio has a strong track record of Yoga Teacher training. You will absolutely deepen and discover things about yourself and your practice that you have not touched on yet. I've been practicing yoga for over 15 years and learned so many new and beautiful things in this program. I felt truly blessed in the experience I had here. Namaste, Jean Scott

YOGA--one of those 4-letter words I tried avoiding most of my life. I didn't want to know or…read moreunderstand the craze, the hype. Then I had to take a class for college credit (don't ask) and ended up at Guruv Yoga, only minutes away from my Heathrow/Lake Mary home. My middle-schooler and I began stretching, twisting, salutating, well you get the picture, in weekly yoga classes, busting moves I didn't think I still had. A group of diverse instructors ensure that classes, from Hatha to Ashtanga, meet expectations of the newbies as well as the lotus-elite. All that meditation makes for a great group of classmates eager to make new friends--Namaste.

We've been going for the last few week and we always leave feeling recharged and refreshed. She teaches with such intention, and is willing and able to read the room. We've made it our go to weekly class. The only issue I've had is sometimes the music is louder than the instructor. The parking is street parking, but has always been available when we have arrived. The facility is nice, they have a cold plunge, vibration plates, and a changing room.

Very high energy intense flow. I sweat so much every time which I feel is a must for hot yoga. I'll be back again & this studio isn't even very close to me. Loved this experience. Also it's a beautiful studio dark with beautiful lighting.

Mignon the owner and teacher, Clyde and the other instructors are kind, inclusive and deeply knowledgeable. Community is welcomed or just stop in randomly for some self care when needed. There is always new events going including group sound bath healing and mediations that are transformative. Mignon also does private and couple reiki sessions if you are looking for a practitioner and want a someone you can trust with your energy. I can't say enough good things about this small business, it became a second home to me during my teacher training and I was so impressed and grateful for what i learned and continue to learn there. The next teacher training starts in March, if you are interested in deepening your practice and possibly sharing it! if you want to support a woman owned, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent and BIPOC welcoming, and just in general really lovely and kind person's small business...please stop by! they'd love to have you

They've built an environment that feels genuinely welcoming, supportive, and uplifting. The sense of community here is something special -- it has had a real, meaningful impact on my life. I'm so proud to be part of it and would wholeheartedly recommend The Yoga Lab to anyone searching for a studio that feels like home. Today, we had our first class with the new infrared panels -- and it was truly transformative for me. I live with chronic back pain due to severe scoliosis, and today's class felt deeply therapeutic and healing. The infrared heat helped me move more freely and go deeper into my practice, and I left feeling like my body had truly released tension and begun to heal. Thank you, Zoe, for making this investment. It means more than you know.
