This particular location of Black Swan is tucked away from the main road. It's one large room vs studios with multiple rooms.

They have plenty of props and the room being wide allows everyone to have a good view of the instructor as well as hear well.

It's rare to find a studio that supports both physical practice and emotional well-being so intuitively. Grateful this place exists.

The teacher (Lauren) crafted an expert sequence... definitely among the more challenging flows, but it also felt nourishing and balanced. The studio itself was in a great location right downtown, but it felt like a nice sanctuary amidst the buzz. Very clean overall, nice high ceilings in the studio, and even some showers/lockers in the bathroom! Really enjoyed it here and I'll look forward to coming back.

My only issues with YTX are that there is a fee to rent mats and there's a fee for a parking validation. Because of the parking I typically walk so I don't want to lug a mat around with me.

She is so upbeat and fun and keeps you engaged the whole way through. The class is lightly heated and involves your standard poses with some light to medium weights added in plus cardio bc who doesn't love cardio? Aside from the main yoga sculpt classes there's a plethora of additional options for all levels. The studio itself is well managed, parking available in the garage directly behind the studio. Towels and mats are available for rent and they have water refill stations in the hall with mens and womens locker rooms - both of which were super clean and spacious! If you're looking for a yoga studio in the area I can't recommend this one enough!

I asked the lady at the desk (Yael) if there was anywhere else I could park (this was at 10:30 the start time because I had never run into this parking issue before I am usually very punctual). She was very nice and told me to do street parking or park at Whole Foods (though it's a bit of a walk). She told us it would be okay if we were a bit late to class. We park at Whole Foods and we are then locked out of the studio. Yael reluctantly let us back in telling us to "not let it happen again" and that being this late was unacceptable. We then left the class completely since we didn't want to be in a space where we were obviously unwelcome.

It's a full gym offering a variety of classes, equipment, and wellness spa, the best part it has been locally owned for 22 years. Castle Hill isn't the prettiest or shiniest gym. She's funky and oddly shaped and full of good energy. As a VIP member you get unlimited group classes! Including Pilates with reformer, towers, and chairs! Plus yoga. Strength training classes. Rebounders. It's all here. I've never seen any other gym anywhere offer so much. Also, the members take care of this place, wiping down equipment, they don't use harsh chemicals either, it's essential oils so the place has a light hint of pine in the air. Also, towel service in included. Although, castle hill fitness isn't the prettiest gym, she has the most heart, I don't feel like a piece of meat in there, and it's kept clean. Def a fan of this place; the staff, and the value.

I was doing hot yoga around 3 to 4 times a week and some Pilates here and there, but I quickly had to change my routine as an expecting mother. And I was so blessed to find Austin Yoga lounge! I love taking the power flow classes for a bit of a challenge, and show up almost every Tuesday and Thursday to do Alex's prenatal strength. Do not be fooled, you will absolutely get a workout from these classes! Motherhood can be such an adjustment and I'm so grateful that I get to continue to move my body in a way that serves me. Beyond fitness, Austin Yoga lounge has a ton of different workshops geared towards various topics, mother's groups, and even doula services. I am a first time mom, and I live out of state and away from all my family, and Austin Yoga lounge has been my support system in my community through these past six months. If you aren't expecting mother looking for any level of support, I highly recommend you come. It truly goes beyond just a place to work out. It is a community. It is a home. It is a sisterhood!

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.

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!
