I'm an average yogi...and perhaps my limited experience doesn't even warrant calling myself a yogi. Nonetheless YL is a wonderful welcoming environment where I always feel comfortable and supported. When I find myself in awkward moments, each instructor seems to effortlessly find their way over with a gentle suggestion. I also recognize the knowledge and skill with all staff members. Typical classes start with the instructors asking questions of the class as to mood, areas to focus...and then they find ways to address. You won't be disappointed. read more

Awesome place in Boulder to do yoga, especially as an out-of-towner. They are very welcoming and their drop-in rate of $18 includes a mat rental. They also have a $30 option for 30 days which would make sense if you're going to go there more than once if you're just visiting Boulder. They have an ample schedule with lots of options of styles and teachers. They have legit locker rooms with showers and their new studio room has a soft floor that is really comfy but still allows for good gripping. Best of all the studio has big windows to view the mountains as you are doing yoga! Highly recommend! read more

Let me start by saying that if you're looking for your average yoga place ready to flow- be careful what classes you sign up for. Avita yoga is a very different kind of yoga. If you are looking for something to help heal an injury this is the class you want to take. I have learned more about my body, stretches, and healing in these classes with Jeff Bailey than I have in all of my years going to physical therapy for my sciatica. It's amazing what these small movements have done for me. I stumbled across Avita at a yoga festival and didn't really know what to think but the next day I felt the pain in my leg go away a little bit and as I have come and practiced, things have improved. My dad and husband have said the same thing about their shoulder injuries. My mom even drives down from the mountains to attend classes a few times a month. I can't recommend Jeff and his team more. read more

The only great studio that I've been to (or looked at classes) in the Boulder/Longmont area. Such a wide variety of classes extending beyond your basic vinyasa flows, no shoved-down-your-throat spirituality and a great intro offer. Only downside is that the rates are a bit high (I can't afford it regularly) and that the location is in south boulder which was quite the drive for me coming from Iris/Broadway and is now impossible now that I live in Hygiene. Please consider opening a Longmont location!!!! read more

Great, earthy, inviting studio. Women's locker room is clean, has 2 bathroom stalls / 3 shower stalls / spacious / many lockers + cubby holes / floors feel nice under the feet. They even have hair ties in case you've forgotten yours! = a nice touch They also have testers of Pangea Organics' beauty products to try, and a little boutique of yoga goods. Nice VARIETY OF CLASSES with great teachers: from basic (Yoga Fundamentals - FREE class) to semi-hot (Heated Fusion) to stretch (Yin Yoga) to Steph Schwartz' beautiful chanting (during Happy Hour Flow) and more. A refreshing (cold), aromatic (lavender) WASHCLOTH given at the end of class = another nice touch. Also, VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAINS replace mirrors; teachers go around the room to adjust poses as needed. Came with their 10 CLASSES FOR $10 deal. Was great to learn NEW POSES and try NEW STYLES - will have to try them all! Would gladly return! read more

This is such a great studio. You feel loved when you walk in and the facilities are immaculate and beautiful. The teachers have a great variety of teaching styles and I haven't had a bad class yet. My favorite teacher is definitely Steph Schwartz. The Happy Hour Flow on Fridays is not to be missed! read more

In preparation for my visit to Boulder, it was reassuring to know there's a kundalini yoga presence here so that I needn't miss my practice. Yoga Loft is located off of the Broadway/Table Mesa Skip bus stop (near Pharmaca and Kim and Jake's), and it's a sweet little yoga studio with a friendly staff to greet you, and a practice room that offers a stunning view of the mountains. Before I headed into class, I was especially appreciative of the thoughtful touches in the women's locker room: three shower stalls (!), plenty of storage area/lockers for your personal stuff, spare tampons, extra hair ties -- it was clean and oh-so considerate. My kundalini yoga teacher, Becca, is a wonderful and grounded instructor: she taught clearly and effectively, creating a class that was warm to beginners, considerate of those with any physical restrictions, AND challenging to advanced kundalini yogis. Her instructions were thoughtful with a gentle touch of humor, which made for very pleasant guidance. Us students all worked hard for the reward of deep relaxation in the end. Ahh, so good! No matter where I travel, and whomever teaches, I always find kundalini yoga classes to speak directly to me. It's eerily spot-on and always right on the pulse with what I need in my life. Such was the case with Becca's class, and I can't recommend her enough. Please support this tiny studio! read more

I took a yin class here and had an excellent experience. The class was solid and grounded and the instructor was very warm and seemed sincere. This studio isn't flashy but seems authentic and grounded I. The true meaning of yoga. If we hadn't moved to North Boulder I would be at this studio all the time! read more

It was my last few hours in Colorado and I wanted to take one more yoga class. I picked a Vinyasa 2 class. Yoga Loft is upstairs and faces the Flatirons. The studio was under construction at the time. The mats were $2 to rent. The class was amazing. It was full and started off with chanting/singing. Most people are regulars as they easily chanted along. I tried my best. The flow was perfect and the instructor was hands on. I was able to do many poses I had previously struggled with thanks to the flow of the poses. At the end, I was given a face towel with lavender oil that helped me stay calm and in the right mindset for savasana. read more

I was visiting from Jersey and I came across Yoga Loft, I was greeted with love, I took Jons class on Saturday at 12pm and it was amazing so I came back next days at 9am. The view from the class was amaze too! Thank you for the experience. read more

See all

Love, love, love. I tried the $30 for 30 days and I'm so glad I did. Sarah and Shannon are incredible instructors. Their classes were mindful and beautiful... The perfect amount of challenge and flow. Can't wait to take more classes here. Very kind humans and such an amazing view! read more

Awesome studio. The instructors make the classes fun and playful. It's a great place to gain some perspective or let go of a bad day. You'll also develop an impressive set of abs in the process. read more

I love how friendly the staff is. They welcome you the moment you walk in the door. They care about each individual and ask how their clients are doing and if they have any concerns or particular physical issues they wish to address. In class, they actively walk around and make gentle adjustments or make encouraging comments. I've been to a lot of yoga studios. Yoga Loft embodies what yoga is about: being of one mind, body and spirit with one's self and others. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I really love this studio! It has a very tranquil vibe with a beautiful view of the Flatirons from the studio to gaze at while you practice. At the end of class, they hand out these wonderful, cooling aromatherapy washcloths. It is a very nice touch to the end of your practice. They offer a variety of classes, including women's yoga, which I had never taken before. In September, I participated in the women's yoga workshop and it left me with the biggest smile on my face! I felt so open and reminded of how much more I need to connect with my sisters and female friends. I felt so lovely and connected. I hope to make that class part of my week more regularly. Truly a great place to practice! read more

First time taking a yoga class. I found the whole facility to be so beautiful and clean. The instructor, Elan, was very patient but also very motivating to push ourselves a little further. I definitely developed a great appreciation for yoga and believe it would be essential to practice at least once a week. I feel I am in above average shape and although I didn't break a sweat during the session I definitely noticed more tone and my muscles were much more relaxed after the session. Not to mention my mind was at ease and I felt a surge of confidence, like I got this! I'm all about the details and my fave part was the cold lavender cloths and her gently pressing on our shoulders at the end. Thank you yogaloft and if I am ever in the Boulder area again I will make sure to schedule another session! -Laura read more

I love how authentic the teachers are at yoga loft. They've all been amazing but Sarah W. and Hannah really stand out and I seek out their classes. I got up early this am just because Sarah was teaching. The view is also incredible and the props are good quality. Overall it's got the best vibes I've found in a yoga studio in Boulder. Thanks for creating such a beautiful space. read more

Awesome yoga dojo! Really accessible location, super clean studio space, and great variety of classes. I practiced with Nikki and would recommend her class to the brand new student or the experienced yogi-great class! read more

Good safe alignment based practice , but perhaps a little too careful--even for beginners. I was visiting from Philly where I also teach and practice --the teacher was fine but never shared much of herself at all---except to throw out some Sanskrit terminology such as "Samastihiti" and never define the term--especially to beginners-to me this makes yoga less accessible . There are teachers ...and there are "instructors" and I felt that this class lacked the "heart and soul" of teaching" I don't think she ever said her name and I won't say it here, as she was nice enough. She thanked us for coming but it just felt lackluster to me. Perhaps I'm spoiled by my studio at home where everyone greets you and is chatty, but I just didn't find anything here to write home about. Studio is clean and generic with some trendy retail options but the view they mention is obstructed by the blinds and frosted glass so you can't see the flatirons :( also, to ask everyone to "Om" is fine--but I think It is really helpful to give it context or else it just elevates it above people's heads into just another new age practice they have no baseline for. read more

Love this place. Knowledgeable teachers, low pressure setting without mirrors, lovely facilities, gorgeous views of the mountains, caring management, good vibe all around. Recommended! read more

Yoga Loft is a superb yoga studio in every way--its ownership by Jeff Bailey and Lori Kemmet, its fabulous yoga teachers, and the breadth and depth of yoga classes! read more

What a great yoga studio! The space is beautiful- studios look out on the flat irons and the 6am class was held outside on the deck during good weather. Sun salutations to the actual sun, overlooking the mountains with crisp white clouds, bright blue sky and birds sailing overhead? Yes, please. The ladies locker room is beautiful- clean with simple yet beautiful design. And a bowl of hair ties in case you forgot yours, how lovely! I liked the variety of classes and instructors. Forest yoga with Jon is my favorite! His classes are always both fun and good for my soul. Love the emphasis on protecting my neck and the way Jon demonstrates what not to do is super clear, like- I understand what other yoga teachers have been trying to tell me all these years. Ending yoga with a lavender scented Rowell over my eyes during shavasana is peaceful and nice. Five stars! read more

Great studio. Clean and good energy all around. I have only been twice and will continue my practice at the Loft. Bri is a great instructor. Her flow is exactly what suits my practice. Looking forward to practicing with other instructors. read more

Wonderful studio with warm staff, highly talented instructors, diverse and challenging classes and workshops, great Flatiron views and easy accessibility. I feel at home here. read more

I swear, every time I take a class here I enter a time vortex. I used to (at previous studios) look at the clock 30 minutes into a class and think "oh god, hang in there." Here, I find myself at the end of the hour feeling like a teletubby that's just been woken up from the best nap, and surprised that the hour has passed already. Warm, welcoming, non-competitive environment. Truly great and compassionate instructors that give individualized care and attention. I am feeling my body in new ways, and coming into a whole new body awareness. I feel like I've found a hidden gem in Boulder, and am so appreciative of this space. So looking forward to seeing where this practice goes! read more

I love it here. I first visited on a 10 days for $10 promotion, and was immediately welcomed to the studio. The insturctors, customers and other employees treated me like a long lost friend. It was so warm and refreshing to feel part of a community. If I wasn't on a college budget, I would definitely buy a membership here over any other studio in Boulder. read more

Yoga Loft is awesome. Yin yoga (with any teacher I've had at Yoga Loft so far) is the best class I've taken in Boulder, and I've been here for 7 years. Great atmosphere and experience! read more

I'm from out of town and came with my aunt who is a regular with the Avita classes. I've heard her speak so highly of this studio and I finally got to come, and man I wish i lived here it would be the only one I'd ever need again! Will be coming back as much as i can before I head back home. read more

Ridiculosly cool mountain views, knowledgeable and caring instructors. They don't call it "The Love Studio" for nothin'. Two thumbs way, way up. read more

I dropped into Yoga Loft on a one-day excursion to Boulder. I practice, study, and teach yoga in California and felt drawn to this studio on my trip (thanks to Yelp!). I am sooooo thankful to Matt for his amazing instruction in the lunchtime yoga class. The instruction was deep and amazing (Jai Hanuman!), the views from the studio incredible, the staff so friendly and helpful (thanks, Nikki for all the suggestions for food places and directions!) and the experience perfect. I will be back anytime I'm in town! Thank you, Matt, for the suggestion of Zeal for organic eats after - delicious! read more

I enjoyed the variety found in each individual teacher's style. The setting is spectacular with the Flatirons right outside the windows, room comfortable and supply of props abundant. read more

This is a beautifully simple, small, cozy yoga studio in South Boulder (we desperately needed one!). Amazing flatirons views in the lone studio, no mirrors so none of that ridiculous self-scrutiny, and down-to-earth owners who teach regularly. read more

This studio is the most amazing place on earth. I don't even think I could dream up a better yoga studio. Everyone is very personable, caring, knowledgeable. They believe in the students and feed off the energy in the room. I have been a member since the 2nd week they were open and not a single thought of canceling. If I could go to every class I would just because i love it so much. read more

I really enjoy practicing at this studio. I am new to Boulder, haven't even really checked out other studios but got a membership here after doing the "10 for 10"deal because I love the laid-back vibe, the beautiful practice room with views of the mountains where the sunlight comes in and hits you, and how authentic it is (not with lululemoned-out people aspiring to do one armed handstands in 105 degree temperatures while wearing 200 dollar pants or something.) So far all the instructors have just had such intelligent sequencing. I went to a level 2 class tonight where there was not a single inversion or arm balance yet it was one of the more challenging classes I'd been to just because of the thoughtful way it was sequenced. I'm glad I found this place! read more

Yoga Studios are a dime a dozen in Boulder, but what sets Yoga Loft apart is: no mirrors; stunning Flatiron views (the sunrise class is not to be missed, you get to watch the sun turn the Flatirons pink as it rises); lovely touches like lavender scented washcloths at class-end; non-snooty clientele; and really kind, gentle, engaged instructors. Especially great studio if you are a South Boulderite like me--why venture further when this lovely place is in our backyard? read more

This place not only offers a great workout but a time to connect with yourself and community. I have been to other studios that seem to focus on the workout of yoga and what yoga attire you're wearing and what your technique looks like. However, the Yoga Loft is welcoming, calming, and instead of mirrors, the studio looks out onto the beautiful Flatirons. The instructors are very knowledgable and know how to have some fun in their classrooms. They also give feedback on adjustments to different poses, which are always helpful and respectful. The class sizes are small, the prices are cheap (for yoga) and it is an amazing studio! What's not to love? I would recommend this studio to anyone of any level of practice! read more

beautiful little studio, kind & excellent teachers, and lovely cold lavender towels for savasana!

I love this place! You can read everyone else's reviews; they are all true. Awesome views, everything so clean and new, great teachers and class variety....go there!! I have to pass about 30 yoga studios to get there and it is worth it. read more

I have been practicing yoga for about five years and teaching for just over two years in USA and Central America. Spending some time in Colorado for the summer, I needed to find a studio to practice with. It is a personal passion of mine to teach the beginner crowd as well the students who have less range of motion or who are recovering from injuries. Kaiut yoga w/ Jeff is hands down one of the safest styles of yoga I have practiced. It's subtle yet active, therapeutic and inspiring, and I always feel so cared for and safe. Jeff offers adjustments to enhance any position for every type of body/injury. If you are looking for something more active/movement/physical, they have plenty of options, like the lunchtime express, and even Shakti Vinyasa was awesome! I also loved Becca's Kundalini class. I have taken Kundalini before and it always felt kind of cultish or too religious for me, but Becca's teaching style and personality is so relatable. Her delivery made the class so comfortable so that I could relax into the exercises and really feel the amazing benefits of Kundalini. The studio is state-of-the-art, with soft floors, mats, filtered water, lockers, showers, and incredible mountain views. Wonderful studio! read more

I'm giddy about this place and its staff. My 10-days-for-$10 experience has catalyzed an M.O.-imploding commitment to reorganize my life around my body (not just my brain), with yoga as a growing practice. All the teachers whose classes I've taken so far--Kirsten, Nikki, Steph, Brenda, and Sarah--have been such pros: deliberate, dedicated, gentle, generous, reinforcing, and clearly knowledgeable. They, the beautiful and immaculate space, and the view of the Flatirons make it hard to pretend I can keep going by doing yoga in my living room to a DVD. read more

I love the Yoga Loft, my friendly neighborhood yoga studio. The teachers are diverse and interesting. The space is clean, calm and lovely. The schedule has good range of styles and times of day. I do wish there were more 1.5 hour classes, but understand that they are responding to the fact most people are too busy for longer classes. read more
