I have always wanted to get into yoga but never had the chance until I was on maternity leave. I started going to the Limber Babies class and O M G my baby and I looove it. It's literally the highlight of my week. At the beginning of class Aubrey checks in with every person to see how our mind and bodies are feeling and what our bodies need work on so she can decide what yoga poses to help strengthen us. 1000/10 review for this place if I could! My baby and I literally adore the atmosphere and everyone (the other moms and babies there). We even made other mom friends and go to get coffee right across the street afterwards. If you are thinking about coming here but just on the fence about it, I can assure you that you will NOT regret it!

Beyond movement and breathing practices, this studio has a really comforting sense of community and support. I've met several friends and discovered invaluable resources through Aubrey and others throughout my 8 months of joining. I can't wait to try their baby classes - and can't recommend this studio enough!

It was very helpful to me in so many ways... the class helped me stretch those tense muscles that develop during pregnancy, strengthen / prepare me for child birth and in general helped my body and soul relax! She is also really good about making sure your body is positioned correctly while you're in different poses and positions. There are other wonderful instructors that teach at the studio as well. I didn't know the difference between good and bad yoga instructors until I attended a few yoga classes at LA Fitness. It's definitely worth going and paying for "real yoga" and quite frankly, it's not that expensive per class. It's so much fun and you feel great afterwards!

Matt and Cherene are experts and mighty fine people to boot. They teach Iyengar yoga, which teaches you how to use perfect alignment in yoga poses. Now, I know that many people who do yoga think of Iyengar as being a boring beginners yoga. Maybe in some studios, but not here. They do have a beginners class, which I started off doing. It was a totally non-threatening, safe, supportive environment, and I learned to do the basics the right way. Then I progressed to more advanced poses - very challenging! Class sizes are small. It's very much a community, but not one that excludes newcomers. Most of the people who go there are North Bend locals. They are very friendly people, and I never once felt judgment or competition. Likewise, Matt and Cherene are very welcoming. If this is your first time doing yoga, don't be scared. You will be in good hands. If you've been doing it for years, you'll have a lot to learn from them. Read their website for more info about their training. It's very impressive. I am indebted to Matt and Cherene for the guidance, knowledge, and support they have given me. I'm moving to Oregon in a few weeks, but I will come visit whenever I can. Thank you!

Without question, Matt Queen is the best yoga instructor we have ever encountered. Anyone lucky enough to encounter his patience, kindness and deep knowledge of the subject has given themselves a precious and lifelong gift. Also, he can show it himself, which sadly we frequently find in places, even expensive yoga retreats. I think he does only private sessions, and may only teach teachers, but the trip out there is worth it if you can get a session.

With 2-3 classes a day that are offered in the morning, afternoon, or evening; there is a class for everyone! The classes are offered in a small studio and the class sizes are very intimate with a maximum of no more than 12-14 students. Given this the instructing is very up close and personal and Elizabeth is always there to help you on every step of your yoga journey. Not to mention she is always positive and upbeat and helps you believe that you can do anything. She is a true believer in choosing your own practice. If there are some poses you cannot do whether it be due to strength or injury, she always offers an alternative. And if the alternative is still not an option, you can always just take a moment to rest without judgement. Misa Yoga is truly an amazing gem of a studio in the heart of West Seattle. With an amazing instructor and reasonable class plans you really cannot go wrong. Ultimately you become more than just a student, you end up joining an amazing Yoga Community. So if you are looking to start yoga for the first time, or want to get away from the larger and busier studios, come check out Elizabeth at Misa. You won't be disappointed!

Elizabeth is an amazing teacher. She allows you to practice at your own pace, while still giving you opportunities to challenge yourself. She is extremely knowledgeable in all things yoga as well as the human body, so she is able to advise you in your poses and to help you along your practice no matter what kind of injury you may have/had in the past. Her classes are filled with students in all walks of life. These people are warm and friendly who quickly become your dearest friends. Misa yoga is a small studio, so you will always need to sign up ahead of time for a class. Elizabeth has extra mats, blocks, straps and towels for students to use if they dont have any. You dont need to be an experienced practitioner to come to Misa. All you need is a open heart and a positive attitude!

The clients are also very welcoming and friendly, representing every age-group and level of skill. I highly recommend West Seattle Pilates and, if you're new to Pilates, this is a great, welcoming and warm studio to get your routine going. **Bonus - local, woman-owned business (the owner is awesome and teaches the morning classes) and there's usually plenty of free on/off street parking.

Joel is hands-down the most patient, knowledgable, and honest yogi I've met. He blends philosophy and meditation with physical strength. One of the things he says in class is that "yoga is a breathing practice...with postures." For someone like me who is wound up really tightly, having a mentor who reminds me to slow down and breathe has changed the quality of my whole life. Joel works hard to create a community at the Smith. It's more of a family and less of a gym. He has an optional co-op program that allows members a discount on classes, and in exchange, we contribute to helping cancer patients practice for free. Classes are affordable, focused, and manageable for all levels of expertise. I find the curriculum challenging but not frustrating. I get a good workout and I always feel better after class. I love looking around the space and seeing an array of body shapes, skin colors, and ages. No egotistical show-offs here, just lovely people excited to do yoga together. The Smith is always clean, warm, and safe. It even smells good! I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders every time I climb the stairs. Highly recommended for newbies and old pros alike. Much love for Joel and Yogasmith!

Tucked away above the Jules Maes Tavern in Georgetown, Yogasmith is a serene refuge from the…read morestressors of the modern world. Siddhartha sits by the entrance, greeting practitioners as they arrive for class. A creaky staircase leads to an inviting space with brick walls, beautiful hardwood floors and ample windows throughout. A majestic gong sits front and center in the room and is surrounded by singing bowls. Music plays softly and, depending on the time of day, candles flicker. Merely entering the space stirs a sense of well-being. Yogasmith offers a variety of classes for students of all levels. These include an introductory series, as well as all-level, men's, restorative and cannabis-friendly classes. In addition to classes, there are workshops and special events such as a monthly Sound Bath. The instructors at Yogasmith come from different backgrounds, each bringing his/her own unique expertise. The studio is open seven days a week, which makes scheduling easy. Students can sign up for a series (or "stream" in Yogasmith lingo) or drop-in. Director Joel Benjamin is the soul-epicenter of Yogasmith. His approach to teaching is gentle, good-humored and encouraging. And as founder of the studio, he has gone to great length to create a community that is vibrant and inclusive. He is exquisitely mindful of how world events impact this community and is diligent in his efforts to offer comfort, resources and tools in response. There are always tea and snacks in the kitchen at Yogasmith. There is also a living room area with a library full of books on meditation, yoga and various spiritual traditions. Hang after class is highly encouraged. There are numerous coffee shops and restaurants around the bustling Georgetown neighborhood for anyone seeking a more substantial post-class nibble. I've been practicing at Yogasmith for a little over three years now, and the benefit has been invaluable. I always leave feeling better than when I came in. And with each practice, I learn something that I can take with me and apply to daily life. As a fairly recent empty nester, I'm especially grateful for the community I've found here. Whether you're a first-time student or a lifelong practitioner, there is something for you at Yogasmith. I encourage all to give it a try.
