I absolutely love this yoga studio and am so happy they opened a few weeks ago! In full disclosure so that this review is helpful for others, a little about myself...I have been an athlete my entire life and play D1 called lacrosse, post college I did a lot of running to stay in shape half marathons, marathons, etc. In December of 2009 I stumbled across Bikram yoga and fell in love, the intensity and work out and focus on breath and staying calm and still were very challenging for me. In April of 2011 I went to training and became a Bikram yoga teacher...fast forward to the current time period, I now have 2 kids and hardly enough time to shower let alone cut out an hour and a half to get to yoga....I still try though! NOw that this studio has opened I can get class in. I will always love Bikram but it's hard to fit in my life right now. The classes at this studio are challenging and they move pretty quickly but also allow me to relax for an hour, which is difficult with a 2 year old and 3 month old. The teachers here are so warm and welcoming and helpful. Being a yoga teacher myself I know none of us are in it for the money, we just love to help people and see people leaving feeling energized and good about themselves. The teachers here are very well trained and know a great deal about yoga and are always happy to help you before and after class with anything! Not every yoga class if for every person and not every person likes every teacher. with that said I have tried a lot of yoga myself and I like that I can fit this into my life right now and that I feel relaxed and energized when I leave but I also get a great work out! So hard as a mommy to fit that in and I really feel that at Annapolis power yoga they are trying to help make yoga accessible to everyone. I highly recommend this place and the lady Nancy who is running the child care is amazing and couldn't be any nicer! This studio has been life savor for me (and my husband) since I"m much happier now! read more

I took advantage of the new studio's grand opening "deal" at the beginning of the year. So far, I have taken BUTI (for ladies only) and the Asana 60 class while I work up the courage to try a Vinyasa Power hour (eeek!) The BUTI class is fun and challenging and I have noticed my strength improve in just a few classes (especially upper body strength) but still working on shaking my BUTI booty like a penguin..... The Asana 60 is essentially a Bikram class (with music and not as hot!) It's only an hour long and you are presented with optional (advanced?) choices on how to do the postures that are part of the Bikram series so... the same BUT not the same class every time and encouraging you to push yourself beyond the Bikram practice. Also, the class is more casual so you can feel free to ask questions. It's nice to know that if I don't have time for a full 1.5 hour Bikram class, I can still get the practice in with the Asana 60. I had started doing Bikram 3 years ago to work through and heal from injuries so Annapolis Power Yoga is a natural progression in helping me to start working toward the next level, safely. All the teachers are very knowledgable and nice and I trust them not to put me in a situation where I might re-injure myself. read more

I started coming here simply because they offer child care during morning weekday classes, and I found I loved every instructor, every flow, every class style. It is a practice I cannot live without. As an instructor myself for over ten years, I can attest to the knowledge and experience of each and every one of the instructors at APY. Not only are they knowledgeable, they each have beautiful spirits and radiate positive energy. I learn something new in every class and have enhanced my practice ten-fold over the course of a year. I am now doing poses I never thought I could do and never tried because I didn't believe in myself. My body feels (and looks) better than it ever has. I feel healthy, strong, and mindful. As someone who never liked hot yoga, I encourage you to at least try it. If you are a woman, try BUTI, as well. It will feel weird at first, but if you can allow yourself to let go and realize everyone else is doing the same movements, you will feel so empowered. It is a fun, killer workout. About the child care, I cannot say enough positive things. Alaina is WONDERFUL. My kids love her. If you are not doing yoga because you don't have child care, give yourself this gift. The best part? You can get a shower :-) read more

This brand new studio in Annapolis is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The space is nice and comfortable - there is a couch in the lobby, a place to put your shoes, and in the adjoining hallway there are benches and hooks on the wall to hang your coat, etc. The yoga room is big and open, with a wood (or wood look-a-like) floor and drinking fountains, which I find highly convenient. I have taken Power Vinyasa and Buti so far, and have loved them both. I can tell they work, because my abs were sore the next day :) The instructors and all the staff I have met have been incredibly welcoming and nice. If it sounds like I can't say enough good things about this place, it's because I can't. The prices are reasonable AND there's child care, so you don't have to worry about finding someone to watch your kid while you take class. The only downside I would mention is that there are no showers yet, but the staff informed me they would be getting showers installed soon. Short version: I love this place. It is awesome. read more

I would highly recommend Annapolis Power Yoga. All of the teachers are wonderful. They are each unique in their practice so you are sure to find someone that fits your style. Or if you are someone who likes variety you can rotate through all of the teachers each week and definitely learn something new or push your practice to a new level. One thing all of the teachers have in common here is they never disappoint. They are all very welcoming, knowledgeable, supportive and full of positive energy. I've practiced at APY for almost a year and I've never felt stronger or more confident in my yoga practice. Additionally it is such a benefit that they have childcare. My daughter loves Ms. Nancy. She brings activities for the kids and is so kind and patient. Don't let any of the negative comments deter you from checking out one of the best yoga studios in Annapolis. read more

I took my first class at Annapolis Power Yoga last week. It was a Buti class & I loved it! It was challenging but fun & taught in an encouraging environment. I completely disagree with the disparaging remarks about this studio. The teachers are very knowledgeable, caring and encouraging. I've been practicing Bikram Yoga for five years. The studio owners of Bikram Yoga Annapolis, Crofton, Severna Park as well as Annapolis Power Yoga have many years of experience in studying & teaching yoga. They've studied under the tutelage of some of the most respected names in the Bikram Yoga community. They've been serving the community for several years & couldn't be more passionate about yoga in all of it's forms. I am completely confident that Annapolis Power Yoga will grow & succeed. read more

Wow, I absolutely do not agree with the review above!!! Annapolis Power Yoga is AWESOME :) I have been to about a dozen classes so far, and I thought they were wonderful. I am already seeing big changes in my body (particularly my abs and upper body), and I love the variety of classes. They are challenging, fun and well-instructed. I do not know why the reviewer above had such difficulty relating with her soul, but I leave there nourished! I especially like the variety of sequencing, the options offered to advance my postures, and the personal corrections I receive from every teacher. I am one of many happy yogis who is getting stronger and more flexible every week :) Ignore the above comments and definitely go!!! read more

This is the greatest little yoga studio around. The teachers are all super knowledgeable and sweet everyone there is willing to take their time to help better my practice. Even the students that come to the studio are all very supportive of one another. It seems to me that if I go to a yoga class I would expect to feel love and support. Anybody that would find yoga to be competitive is just simply out for the wrong reasons. I would imagine the insulting comment left below was by another teacher. That's definitely bad karma I'm so sorry that happened to such an amazing studio but no sense in feeding into the drama come in and see for yourself The studio is very clean and welcoming I don't think you will be disappointed read more

Beautiful welcoming studio located in the shops below The Point. They have a variety of classes to choose from like Vinyasa, asana 60 and Buti. I've tried them all and each class offers a different challenge mentally and physically. The studio is slightly heated with large windows facing the street. All the teachers are friendly and helpful. As a mom with small children I find the best part of this studio is childcare. They have a small playroom set up and Nancy is there Mon through Fri during morning classes. My daughter really enjoys coming with me to hang out with Nancy and the other kids. Highly recommend you check it out for yourself! read more

I have taken about ten classes at Annapolis Power Yoga. It has been open for almost three weeks. I have not experienced the same Power Hour Class twice. I enjoy the sequence variations, as I find it helps strengthen and lengthen my muscles. I also appreciate the Asana 60 being a similar sequence of postures and poses to Bikram. Nice to get in and out in 60 minutes because my day does not always allow for the 90 minute Bikram Class. I found the candlelight class at the end of the day a cool experience. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends regardless of athletic background. I dig the location next to starbucks. read more

I have been going to this studio for a year now and can't say enough amazing things about the studio and all the teachers. I travel the world for a living and have done my fair share of yoga at a ton of studios and without a doubt this studio is the best! Many studios can be very pretentious which is so off putting but they are so chill here and just want you to be there and enjoy yourself. The instructors truly are the most amazing, patient, friendly and so knowledgeable. The schedule and the amount of classes offered is by far the most in town and the only place with a 6am class for the early working people. read more

I've been with Annapolis Power Yoga coming up on 2 years. My workout routine for years was weights and HIIT classes at the Y. I never took a yoga class there - didn't think it was going to be my thing. I was wrong! I had no idea Vinyasa would get my heart rate up like it does! & Buti & XY are amazing workouts/! Each instructor is very knowledgeable, informative and make it fun! The classes are for all levels. I love going to APY & am stronger & more flexible head to toe! You wont believe the improvement you make after just a couple months!!! read more

I have been coming to the studio since it opened. I love all the classes, but Buti is my favorite. The classes are offered at a variety of times so it is easy to get to a class almost daily. All the teachers are excellent and bring there own style to the classes. The classes are never the same or boring. Everyone is welcoming and friendly and most of the students continue to come regularly and this speaks volumes. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to APY! Do your mind and body a favor and try it out! read more

I was so excited to hear about this new studio opening up. I went the first week and loved it! It's so friendly and inviting from the moment you walk in. I love natural light and the studio is all windows on one side overlooking the street. The teachers are all encouraging and knowledgeable. They have helped me improve my practice. The best part for me has been the childcare provided. It has allowed me to take class more regularly and my son may even like going more than I do! read more

I have been coming to APY for about 2 months now, after having my third child. It has been an amazing experience, for my body, as well as my mind. The studio is wonderful and the instructors are amazing. Always so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The classes are great, at super convenient times and they offer an amazing Kids Club during the week, for the kids to hang while you are in class. Overall an amazing place and I highly recommend it! read more

I had never done anything that closely resembled yoga in my life before taking a class here and I'm thankful I did. The teachers are so supportive and encouraging that I was hooked right away. So much so that it's been a year now and what a difference it has made- I feel great, no more joint and knee pain, and I've met some great people too! It's the perfect place to start if you have never tried yoga before. read more

I love this place! APY came highly recommended by two close friends. I've been coming here regularly for a couple of months and can't speak highly enough of the studio. It's a beautiful, calming, clean space with a welcoming atmosphere. I adore every instructor and the students as well are all friendly and positive. The classes are phenomenal; I drive 20 minutes from home because it's just worth it. read more

I love this clean, bright welcoming studio. Instructors are wonderful with a diverse range of knowledge. They helped this reluctant yogi crave my practice. They offer a terrific introductory rate so skip the Groupon. My favorite is Vinyasa Power but definitely give XY a try for a challenging and fast workout. Great music, great instructors and terrific schedule. read more

I've been coming to APY for about a year. I started just to help with my flexibility due to being a runner. I became hooked - all the classes are great. XY is / 45 minute high-interval plyometric class, buti a fun yoga/dance, and then of course power yoga. All the instructors have been amazing: very friendly and willing to answer questions. read more
