I also think she may be the best massage therapist in Austin. When I am in town I plan on seeing her.

I've been coming to see Signe for massage for several years, and can't rave enough about her…read morepractice. Not only is she a magician with her hands, she has the most calming spirit about her. Her studio is peaceful and relaxing, and there's plenty of parking. Signe is invested in the wellness of her clients on a deep level, and even did a Zoom meeting with me during quarantine to give me some pointers on loosening up my shoulders. I'm so grateful she's a part of our community and hope everyone gets the chance to spend some time in her studio!

She and other staff were welcoming and the classes were great (a 60 and 75). Room was hot and positive vibe (which you don't always get!) was present. Would recommend this studio to anyone! One note, busy area so keep a few minutes to find street parking on way in.

This is the most healing yoga studio I've ever experienced. The environment is beautiful, calming,…read moreclean and organized. This space allows students to arrive with grace, settle in calmly, and meet themselves where they are. The staff are warm, present, and genuinely kind--something that makes a profound difference for anyone healing from stress or.. life. And the zen garden out back is an unexpected sanctuary. It's rare to find a studio that supports both physical practice and emotional well-being so intuitively. Grateful this place exists.

I've tried several yoga studios, but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, none of them felt just…read moreright. As Yelper Hannah G perfectly put it, "With how saturated the yoga market is, it was hard for me to find a place that I connected with". For me, that place has turned out to be Sukha Yoga. Sure, Mark (co-founder) has no idea who I am--I've only taken his class once--but that single experience left a lasting impression. I attended his Saturday Bhakti Service: Flow, Meditation, and Sound, an 80 min class that collaborates an intentional vinyasa flow practice with mindfulness. For "busy" folks who struggle to slow down or are close-minded, this class (and maybe even this style of practice) might not be for you. As Mark's fists say, he certainly is a "GURU." He guides his class with intention and power, while also subtly weaving in his musical talents, playing several instruments and even singing, in a way that feels genuine and somehow not cringe. The class is structured, yet somehow freeing. Mark allows you to set your own pace during sun salutations, which feels like pure magic. The experience made me feel grounded and safe. I could have cried with how deeply content my soul felt. BONUS: If you love dogs, you'll probably find Mark's extremely well behaved mini doodle, Mai, practicing her down dog. If you don't, there's a door... NOTE: For first timers, it's located next door to Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co--easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

Another day, another new yoga studio. This time I found myself just off South Lamar at Sukha Yoga…read morefor a 6am practice. I arrived at the studio and it was still dark out. Finding the studio and parking was a bit difficult, but once I was inside it felt warm and inviting. There was a small waiting area with some seating which led right to the studio itself. Not huge, but cozy. The class started on time and the instructor took us through a well sequenced flow. It was powerful but far from overwhelming. The studio was supposed to be heated, but it's possible I was not near enough to an infrared light which kept me from getting a sweat in. After the class was over, the instructor invited me to join a small group for a Barton Springs plunge. Really appreciated the community building outside of class! Thanks again and I'll look forward to returning and trying out some other class styles!

I love working out with Sondra. More than anyone I have ever worked out with, Sondra Lieder gets…read moreresults! She pushes me to work hard, but never pushes me to injury. I've improved not only my strength, but also my balance, stamina, and eating habits. When I started working with Sondra I had just finished my 3rd round of chemo. I had had breast cancer and several years later, uterine cancer. My diet had gotten really out of whack and I had gained about thirty pounds. In addition, my balance was terrible and I fell all the time. I had spent so much time in bed that I had very little strength or stamina. Our first year together was hard and I didn't always look forward to training. But I liked Sondra and actually began to enjoy our workouts! At first, I wasn't used to being challenged that way and I had gotten lazy. But something in me wanted to get stronger and fitter. I wanted her to be proud of me. I missed some workouts, but I kept at it. Today I'm not the same person. I look forward to workouts, and because Sondra is so knowledgeable, she knows how to keep me engaged. Now I hate to miss a session! I've lost all the weight I'd put on and am so much stronger and fitter, with better endurance. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe. I like the way I look and feel and I can do so much more than I once could. I plan to keep training with her. I think Sondra is the best! I recommend her unreservedly.

True Mysore Shala in Austin!…read more The teachers Andrew and Déjà are amazing! This practice is traditional so take into consideration that it's a self-practice and your teacher gives you new poses once they feel you're ready (and have overcome/mastered your last challenge posture). I absolutely love the Mysore Austin Shala - both the teachers and the student and community alike.

Make no mistake---this guy knows his stuff. If you are searching for direct-from-the-source,…read morestraight-up Mysore style yoga,this is the place. I've been practicing with Andrew since his early days here in Austin. I've also studied with Sharat Jois in Mysore, India. Everything from the strictness to the sweetness of Mysore is evident in this new shala. We are really lucky to have him. The shala has plenty of parking and Andrew is very flexible and communicative with all his students. The shala is sparse and serious. If you are in search of saunas and spacious locker rooms you will be disappointed. But if serious yoga study with an attentive teacher is your goal stop by. In a very short time Andrew has built a sweet community. While I underscore the serious nature of the shala it is also a very playful and fun place. It's no easy balance to strike but Andrew definitely captured it.
