As both a therapist and a yoga teacher, I value spaces that are ethical, professional, and genuinely supportive of growth. Yoga Pod Boulder embodies these qualities beautifully. The instructors are skilled and compassionate, the studio is clean and welcoming, and the community fosters both physical renewal and emotional well-being. When I first heard about the studio, I was misled by someone whose unethical behavior was directly tied to their role here and who was later dismissed. Experiencing the studio firsthand revealed just how inaccurate that portrayal was. In reality, Yoga Pod Boulder is built on authenticity, respect, and a high standard of practice. read more

I took my first class on a busy Saturday. I generally practice slow flows, but decided to try something new- Rocket yoga. It mixes Ashtanga and Vinyasa. So challenging, the teacher, Jesse was kind and supportive. He did some gentle assists to help me align my spine, thank you Jesse. The changing rooms were clean. Front desk staff was polite. It was a great experience, I can't wait to go back. read more

I love this studio so much. I've been attending Yogapod since 2020 and they have so many different styles of yoga and wonderful teachers.

This is an extremely unsafe studio for people who expect their feelings and dignity to be respected. After going to classes for several weeks, everything seemed well and fine until I had an interaction with a yoga teacher who had been acting strangely, giving me the silent treatment and pretending like I didn't exist. I tried to talk to this teacher after class, and was rudely told to go away. I tried to politely explain that I felt upset at being treated this way, and was told "I don't like your tone" and badgered to leave. I filed a complaint, but instead of punishing the teacher or immediately apologizing, the owners Gerry and Nicole gaslit me, falsely accusing me of lying instead of respectfully following up on my complaint. Their attitudes and the behavior of the teachers at the studio towards me was deeply unkind and disrespectful. read more

I am newer to yoga and have gone to two classes at this location. Both times I felt very welcomed and not judge for my lack of flexibility. You will want to bring a yoga mat and larger towel for any hot sessions. Water bottle too! I just did my best and definitely some experienced folks in the room to follow if I couldn't see the instructor during the pose. Class was about 65% women, 30% male and 5% unicorns (people's choice on how they identify themselves). They have a nice large locker room with multiple showers. I would recommend bringing a different towel for the shower and a different outfit. I will definitely come again! read more

This was my first time, and I really loved the class, but the front desk staff was really unkind and unwelcoming, so I probably won't come back. read more

Best yoga studio in Boulder! They have some of the best teachers around. Very warm and welcoming studio.

Big, beautiful, and upscale yoga studio. Probably the biggest selection of yoga classes in Boulder and an amazing deal for the wide selection, many classes they offer. They have classes all the way from early morning to late in the evenings which I love. The classes are excellent, and the instructors are really fun to learn from. This is my other favorite yoga studio in Boulder! Can't be beat for the quality and selection of classes offered. read more

I love this studio! All the teachers are knowledgeable and welcoming. I like hot yoga and it is actually helping with my stress/emotions in addition to other health benefits. The hot yoga is similar to bikram style poses versus vinyasa which I like. I highly recommend this studio and the teachers. read more

A friend of mine asked me to join him for a candle lit yoga session, with a teacher named Elizabeth. I went into this session of yoga with expectations of feeling relaxed and but also the feeling of really getting a work out. On top of meeting both expectations, Elizabeth really helped my first yoga experience feel spiritual. I was able to release some bad energy and vibrations, and feel renewed and forgiving. One of the most beautiful experiences I have EVER had, and I cannot wait to go again. read more

I was a loyal member of Yoga Pod Boulder from December 2011 until I started teaching vinyasa yoga there in 2016. Coming from a tight knit yoga community in New Jersey, I was searching for my new tribe and was so happy to find that in Yoga Pod. What I love about Yoga Pod: - Diversity. Unlike some studios in town, each teacher has free license to bring their own unique gifts to each class whether that is chanting Sanskrit mantra or offering life lessons from Buddhist teachers or discussing Chinese medicine or dropping amazing house music beats. Every teacher has something beautiful and interesting to offer which keeps me coming back and interested in trying new teachers. - Kindness. I can't say enough about Gerry & Nicole, the wonderful studio owners, who made me feel so welcome the first time I came to the studio & every week teach inspirational classes sharing their journey. The Yoga Pod community is warm, welcoming and open and it comes from the kindness of its founders. - Balance. Yoga Pod is the only studio I'm aware off that has done the research to offer class styles which work together to provide a balanced mind-heart-body experience. Yin Yoga for joints & fascia & the relaxation response; Hot Yoga to unwind tight muscles & unwind the mind through disciplined routine; Vinyasa Yoga to tune into intuition & inner wisdom; podFit for cardiovascular - kind of like an Orange Theory class! Plus now prenatal yoga & many beginner friends options, too. - Many classes. I appreciate that Yoga Pod has 3 rooms for classes, often with multiple classes going on at any one time. When my schedule changes, it's nice that I can catch a class an hour earlier or later, versus at some studios where there is a morning, lunchtime and evening class. I love Yoga Pod, it's my second home - and I recommend it highly as a yoga and fitness studio in Boulder. read more

A 5-star resolustion to a hard problem. So...COVID Karen came to Hot yoga class today. She wouldn't wear a mask, even though she had an American flag mask beside her. The Karen claimed a "medical condition." But what about the rest of us? Make note: As per the ADA rules, accommodation was offered to her in the form of a ZOOM class. The "Karen event" happened right at the start of class -- with me angrily expressing my fearful indignation. Keep in mind that there is a lot of sweat and heavy breathing in HOT Yoga Another student and I stomped out! (Surprisingly, a dude came to the Karen's defense.) More shouting. In a yoga class! Not cool. In the lobby, the studio manager tried to calm us 2 indignant and angry yogis down! WELL DONE! The manager actually called the studio owners. Again, WELL DONE! And even more impressive, the studio owners rushed to the studio -- and immediately resolved the situation (probably not to Karen's satisfaction, but not sure.) Amazing management! So responsive to the safety of their students! Lastly, so sorry to have had this happen as it caused a lot of stress. Think about the bewildered few still in the room. ( I suppose I became a Karen too. ) In any case, Wear a mask! As the president said: "it's patriotic." read more

Super duper great experience at the Pod. Warm and welcoming, the teachers were top notch and so was the studio. Lots of different styles were offered throughout the day at convenient times. I ended up taking a HOT class with Gerry and it was excellent. Solid cues, great instruction, and warm message. All in all a delightful experience I'll definitely will be back for more. Namaste, Bart H read more

My experience at Yoga Pod South Boulder has been great so far. I play a lot of volleyball and hike a fair amount and with the repetitive compression on my spine I've been stiff and sore for a while now and I knew I needed to do something to prevent injury and help loosen things up again so I can continue to play as I get older. A friend of mine recommended I try yin yoga as it targets the deep connective tissues and would help me stretch, lengthen, and loosen up. I'm new to yoga and not your typical yogi (tall, big-bearded male with a bit of a belly who is about as flexible as a flagpole), so I was a little nervous and in my own head felt out of place at first; however, the staff has been incredibly kind, friendly, patient, and supportive. Lara's classes are always calm, relaxing, and restorative; I always leave feeling more connected and aligned. Paul is kind-hearted, easy going, and has a great laugh; his classes are always fun to attend. I believe it's Cree that has been working the front desk from time-to-time? Anyway, she's always been warm, friendly, and welcoming with a big smile. My girlfriend and I are always glad to see her when she's there. Shannon has gone WAY above and beyond helping me. I was telling her after my first class with her that I'm new to Yoga to please feel free to correct me if I'm doing something wrong and somehow it came up that I have scoliosis... I've had it forever and had just kind of accepted that my back would be stiff on good days or sore and achy for a few days when I work or play too hard. Shannon took the time to get to know me, my spine and where it curves, where my back is usually stiff and sore. She's spent a lot of her free time making a personalized plan with yoga poses, strengthening exercises, etc. to help with better spinal alignment and reduce soreness. She's stayed late after many classes helping me with getting the poses right and finding variations that work for me. I'm only just starting; however, I've had comments that I'm moving better, and I feel like I recover a little faster and am a little less sore when I work or play hard. While I'm still awkward, inflexible, and don't always get the poses quite right, I feel like I belong and am accepted as part of the Yoga Pod South Boulder community. I don't know if yoga will ever fix my scoliosis; however, I do know that if I keep up the work on my end, I will be less stiff and sore, and I'll be able to continue to move and play and be in nature when I get older and for that I'm eternally grateful to Shannon and the rest of the Yoga Pod South Boulder team. read more

This place is fantastic. Some of the very best teachers in Boulder. The new studio is welcoming, clean, ample parking, and convenient. There are class styles to match whatever you are looking for, whether it be a sweaty workout or a more chanty spiritual mellow relaxation. Most importantly though, the people who teach here really love what they do, and it comes across in each class. read more

I just got more serious about yoga about six months ago. I had done some hot yoga, but was pretty over that. I started visiting Yoga Pod in Boulder, focused on Flow classes, and found not only a wonderful new practice in my life but a perfect home for it. Yoga Pod Boulder is beautiful, clean, light, and welcoming. Super simple parking in the mall garage. There's nothing snobby about it, and even a newbie like me has been welcomed by every member of the staff (often by name, often on first encounter) with whom I've interacted. Now that I'm pretty devoted to a daily yoga practice, I visit other studios on work trips, and I've realized that I inadvertently happened upon a yoga studio that has -- to a person -- phenomenal teachers. Again, I'm still a neophyte, and Boulder, CO, is filled with more than 40 yoga studios and tens of thousands of people who have been doing yoga for their whole lives. But what I observe is an unbelievably consistent cadre of teachers with exacting standards for cues, transitions, and mindfulness around injury prevention. More importantly, these teachers are individuals; their humanity, personal stories, senses of humor and musical tastes are welcome and diverse. I love this place. read more

In Boulder on work travel and had to get my yoga in. So glad I came. Rob was a great instructor and I really enjoyed the class. I took the PODFlow2 class and left feeling that yoga bliss! Highly recommend the studio, from the friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the studio and overall vibe....5 Stars! I will definitely be back if I'm in Boulder! read more

The yoga pod in Boulder, is a place where they accept you for who you are. It is a clean, calm enviornemnt where you feel a sense of ease the second you walk in the studio. The Staff is excepetional, kind, caring, and compassionate. They go above and beyond to make the enviornement what it is. I had to take a few months off, but i will definately be back!!! Yoga can help develop inner calmness, tranquiity, and ease in your day to day life , but finding an exceptional stuido which can help will all that and more is harder to find, that is what the yoga pod is!! read more

I have done a few classes at Yoga Pod, and I thought they were great! They also have an awesome deal of $30 for 30 days which is a great rate for the area. There are many class times to pick from, whereas other studios don't always have options that work for my work schedule. Would definitely recommend checking it out for a class or two! read more

So I went to the "sunrise yoga" class that my friend was raving about. Meh. If you like a bunch of quick sun salutations with little attention to transitions - even bad transitions, no mention of yoga or spirituality and music blaring - essentially if you are looking for a mat workout as if you were at a gym, this is it. If you are easily wowed by a nice space and changing rooms, Yoga Pod also offers this. But if you want real YOGA, don't go to Yoga Pod. I should have known not to trust my friend who is typically more preoccupied with wether her yoga pants match her yoga top (love you Karen, but it is true;) but atleat I made a deal. I'll try yours if you'll try mine..so she owes me a class with my favorite teacher at PrAna. We'll see where the down dog lies. read more

I love yoga pod, not only are they an uplifting and positive community of yogis. The classes are affordable and some of the most enjoyable and sweat-inducing hot yoga classes I've taken. The studios are lovely and the teachers each bring unique gifts to each class. read more

I attended a community yoga class @ yogapod in August. I paid to rent a mat from them, I donated money to their specified charity, I utilized their dressing rooms. I had researched yogapod on-line and thought I would enjoy their style of yoga...I love hatha flow, vinyasa, power yoga...I was hoping to receive a somewhat smaller version of what they offer in their regularly scheduled classes, though I did not. It was a bit confusing as the class was listed on their website and on https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/home.asp. The class was also listed on their paper fliers available inside their studio and when I stopped in earlier in the day within the studio they handed me a flier and welcomed me back for the class. It was very evident that this was the instructor's first solo class she came armored with a face full of make-up and perfume so strong it could be smelled if she walked by you...just a bit distracting and not aromatherapy at all. It was an ok class, but nothing like the descriptions of their other classes. Yogapod needs to take responsibility for the content of any class held within their studio. At no point did any representative from yogapod disclose that the class was not being lead by one of their regular instructors...they actually advertised the class?! Though the class was decent for a beginner based on my experience as a new customer I would not frequent Yogapod again. I did not feel enticed nor tempted into returning. The Denver/Boulder area has much to offer in yoga styles and I just found other studios were more to my taste and more inviting. Namaste. read more

I was in town for a week vacation and was recommended by one of my teachers back home in Delaware , to go try yoga pod while I'm out here. I did and was glad I made the choice for this studio Very friendly reception as I walked in the door , very spacious studio , very clean and great views. Plenty of classes and times to choose from. I would go back here if I'm back in town again ! Gregg C. read more

I'll start with the positives, Yoga Pod is clean. Now onto the bizarre, when I checked in with Caitlin I was instructed there was no talking in the studio, OK, I can understand that and can appreciate it. I go into studio, get a space on my mat and Caitlin asks the class how they are doing? Ok, so much for silence, but then she starts asking some questions of group. During the session, seemed like Caitlin was somewhat self absorbed with showing off how advanced her practice was instead of assisting students with improving their practice. She even said, I don't think any of you will be able to do this, but I want to show you what it looks like. Just seemed strange for a class that was mostly beginners. As other reviewers have commented, this not a place for a "spiritual experience". Located on 2 floor of an outdoor shopping mall, has more of a small exercise gym atmosphere. Call me crazy I but I decided to give Yoga Pod another try. I arrived as class was beginning, not 5 minutes late or even 2 minutes, literally as class was beginning and was told no late arrivals allowed. Ok, I left. So, if you choose to go, then be sure to be on time and don't speak unless spoken too! Have fun kids. read more

I have been here twice for hot yoga. My only wishes for this place is it to have less of a collegy vibe and to NOT be in a "mall." I have come in and it is so loud with young college girls that I cannot even hear the front desk person. The actual yoga room is nice and the entire place has a somewhat clean feeling. I haven't yet connected with a single teacher here, and find most of them to be a little to barby-doll-ish. Everything looks pretty, but their attention to detail, their spiritual side and explanations of transitions were not good. I've met the two owners and they seem like amazing people outside of the studio, but I don't understand/connect with their intentions of their studio. Seem more like a business than a spiritual yoga center. read more

This place is like a gym i call it yogercize! Reminded of cross between 24 Hour Fitness & Core Power Yoga. Lot's of people in the latest yoga pants and instructors posing. Id give it no stars, because I had endless problems with billing and they continued to bill my credit card after i was down. Beware of giving them a credit card... I'm giving it two stars because they have two teachers who are AWESOME and deserve a special mention. One is Jeannie, she is simply awesome, kind, caring, and makes EVERYONE feel welcome. The other is Sashi Golub. I had a month of classes and sampled a few teachers. Those are two that were head and shoulders above anyone else I came across. I will seek out Jeanie and Sashi at other studios in town. I'm sure there are other good instructors too. read more

I started the 2 week package for $30 and have been nothing but pleased with Yoga Pod's instructors, welcoming vibe, variety of classes and times. I can even find Yin (a deep, therapeutic form of yoga) offered every day! 17 years of practice and many yoga studios later, Yoga Pod is refreshing and real. My yoga foundation started with Ashtanga (no music, no mirrors) , so I find it comforting that there was little music played and during yin and hot. In the hot practice, they use most of the traditional Bikram postures in sequence, but add some variety. The variety isn't crazy postures, either - it's something everyone could do or modify. To me, it felt safer and more fluid. After a while doing traditional Bikram only, I sometimes feel more of my aches and pains instead of release, so I enjoy the variety. Not too many practitioners are there to impress. They are there to do yoga: to get hot, sweaty and healthy. This is a place for all shapes, sizes and ages....Without judgement. Young (college), mixed with middle to "mature" is nice to see. I could take my 76 year old mother here and she'd feel comfortable. I can't say that about all studios. read more

I love Noelle's classes! Great environment, very clean and always a welcoming, helpful staff.

The Yoga Pod is a great workout facility and fantastic deal for new customers... as far as a yoga *studio*, it's just okay. I agree with previous reviews commenting on the impersonal feel to Yoga Pod. My experience with yoga instructors has been they will introduce themselves to each (new) student and go out of their way to make a personal connection and seem welcoming. Not that Yoga Pod makes you feel unwelcome, it's just not as friendly as other studios I've been. It didn't bother me as much as I think it bothered others because I went for the exercise, got in, got out and went on with my day. They offer about a dozen classes per day (which is great if you have a busy schedule) and the rooms get packed, so this is probably another reason why you get the "factory" or "fast food" feel here. The locker rooms and studios were always extremely clean in my experience and the instructors are knowledgeable -- after a month of semi-regular yoga practice here, I definitely felt stronger. I'm by no means an expert on yoga, but I couldn't seem to find consistency between Vinyassa 1/Vinyassa 2/All Levels depending on which instructor was assigned to a particular class. I signed up with an unlimited $40 for your first month package, and I got my money's worth, so if this place is convenient for you, it's worth checking out. As I have access to CU's rec center as a graduate student and the Pod's prices are a bit high on a per class basis for me, I do not plan to continue going. read more

I love the Yoga Pod! I've been coming here for just about 8 months now and out of all the yoga studios I've tried around Boulder and neighboring areas, this one is the only one I will keep coming back to. I've tried several different classes here, but my jam is the hot yoga classes. I started doing Bikram/hot yoga a couple of years ago and never felt a strong connection to the other studios I practiced at. But at the Pod I feel more at ease to really dig deep into my practice. All of the teachers I've had have been great, really allowing you to listen to your body and how you feel rather than commanding you like a drill sergeant through each pose. Need to take a break because you're lightheaded? Go for it! They do recommend you stick with the stillness as much as you can between poses, but if you need a sip of water or a time out in Child's Pose, it's completely fine. Yes, it does get crowded in hot classes, especially in the evenings as most people come after work (like yours truly). I don't find that it really interrupts my flow while in my practice, and in fact, I really enjoy the energy I get from having all of those individuals practicing along together. Each teacher has their own style, obviously. And while I definitely jive better with some more than others, I don't feel that I've had any class where a teacher wasn't helpful or didn't know what he/she was doing. As for Gerry and Nicole, they are wonderful owners and incredible teachers themselves! The customer service here has always been great, and everyone is always so friendly and attentive. Everything about this place is welcoming, warm and down to earth. I try to come 5-6x a week, and when I miss a session, I'm always looking forward to going back! read more

I am the person to trust for yoga studio reviews, since I have been to so many fantastic and horrendous ones that I now have extremely high standards. Since I spend so much time practicing yoga, I expect a lot out of the place that may as well be a second home to me. Yoga Pod is just such a place- it emanates a warm, homey vibe that is impossible to fake and detectible immediately upon walking through the front doors. Gerry and Nicole, the studio owners, are immeasurably kind and caring people who take the time to truly get to know their patrons and genuinely care about them and what is going on in their lives. It is so easy to come across studios owned by greedy business folk who quickly forget about what is important. The prices were one of the biggest draws which attracted me to the Pod. For a student per month on auto-renew, it only costs $75. Other places charge at least twice that, which is extremely challenging for financially struggling students. Also, the first month for new students is only $40. There are courses for all levels of practitioners and at all times of the day which is very accommodating for busy individuals. The only criticism I have as a die hard hot yoga lover is that occasionally the hot classes do not get as high in temperature as my picky self would like. Other than that, the Yoga Pod is amazing- I feel welcome in such a beautiful, clean studio overlooking Boulder's flatirons! read more

Great customer service, clean locker room and my first hot yoga experience was wonderful.

Yoga Pod is my favorite studio in Boulder. All the teachers are fantastic, the studio is beautiful and there is plenty of parking all times of day. The owners and staff are very welcoming. I highly recommend this studio to all my clientele and friends. read more

I took the Pod Flow 2 with Larissa Ortiz for my first class at Yoga Pod. I just moved from Chicago and looking for a new studio to call home - Yoga Pod is the TOP of my list! Larissa's class was everything I didn't know I was missing in Chicago. Her balance between the emotional and physical was spot on. I appreciated the focus she gave us at the beginning of the class and the way she continually brought the focus back to our intention. All the staff was friendly and the community seems very open and welcoming. I've since taken from a few other teachers at the studio during my first month of free trial. I am very impressed by the consistent quality of all the instructors and the class times/availability are great! read more

Amazing yoga studio. Love that they have 3 yoga rooms offering class options. Teachers are amazing! I almost always take a class that fits my time needs and never disappointed. Beautiful studio too'. read more

Skilled and attentive yoga instructors. I have attended multiple classes and feel that the quality of instruction has been consistent. The instructors will take the time to discuss the benefits and correct form of a yoga pose. I also appreciate that you can chose from a variety of different yoga styles (hot, forrest, yin). The studio is clean and there is ample parking. Mid-day weekend classes tend to be more crowded. read more

Beautiful facility, diverse class offerings, and knowledgeable and engaged instructors. Wish the classes were named more like traditional yoga classes but that is a petty gripe. Great place. read more

My favorite studio in town. Amazing teachers, bright inviting clean studio, and consistently excellent classes.

I liked how friendly, welcoming, and helpful the instructor was at my first class.

I was visiting from Arizona and took Amy's class... she was really an incredible teacher. I loved the whole studio (super cute and clean, and all the staff members were so friendly) but was especially impressed with her! Thanks for the great class!! If I'm ever back in Boulder, I'll definitely visit Yoga Pod again!! -Erin read more
