As a beginner to yoga... I was looking for a studio to continue practicing yoga while home for the…read moreholidays. I'm originally from the Bay Area and I was very pleased to learn there was a yoga studio near my parents' home (at least one that didn't require bridge toll or a 30+ min drive). So I booked classes for the days I was staying in Gig Harbor and absolutely loved this yoga studio. LOGISTICS The yoga studio itself is very beautiful and airy. The high ceilings and lighting make it a great space for practicing yoga. Also very clean! They provide yoga mats, blocks, and straps to borrow... but you're free to bring your own. I also like that they provide the yoga mat cleaner spray, which is a great reminder to use after class. I booked all my classes online so the process was very easy. I had a few issue when I accidentally booked a same day class and couldn't cancel, but they were quick to returning my desperate email+calls to let me know they took me off the roster and would honor my class credits for a future class. The customer service communication has been a very good experience for me. There was an error in pricing for a pair of yoga pants I purchased through them, but we were able to resolve it over email without me needing to come in. Currently they require masks in the studio, however they make an exception if you email or show them your vaccine cards. You're still required to wear a mask when off your mat, but during the class itself you can remove it. It makes it so much easier to practice breathing this way. Parking is super easy since it's located in the Uptown shopping area next to the movie theater and HomeGoods. CLASSES The studio offers a very wide variety of class formats at different times of the day. Since I'm fairly new to yoga and could really only do morning classes... I've only done "Vinyasa Flow: Level 1 & 2" and "Hatha Strength and Stretch". Both are good for beginners and even if you're starting out, you can always go at your own pace / make adjustments as needed. Or rest in child's pose. The website will advise the experience level required for each class when you sign up, and the instructors are happy to provide extra instructions to complete newbies (at least from observation). Pacing can be slow or moderate in these classes - it depends a little on the instructor. I had one sub that did a faster pace for a Level 1 & 2 class, but it was quite fun to keep up with. It's really important to pay attention to what the instructor is saying in terms of cues when switching poses. And if you're very new... I'd recommend being in the middle row so you can not only see the instructor but also observe what others are doing. I enjoyed the classes and they were a fairly good workout (I did sweat in a few of them). I also never felt any judgement or pressure on how I was doing my poses. Plus the classes were all a little different in terms of poses used and the flow. After class, I always felt refreshed and relaxed after stretching out my body and working some muscles. INSTRUCTORS I really like the instructors at this studio - very clear cues and instructions, and they offer options depending on your fitness level. They've all been very friendly and unlike other yoga corporate studios I've been to, they actually try to focus on the spiritual aspect of it (without being too preachy). VALUE Coming from the Bay Area... unless I'm committing to a class package/membership, I'm used to paying $30 for one drop in class. Here, a drop in class is only $20 and the price gets lower as you do a class package or membership. $20 a drop in class is a really good deal ESPECIALLY when you're allowed to take more than one class in a day with your drop in class. They offer specials for new clients, like a 30 day trial at an extremely discounted rate. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend it so you can try all the different classes. They also offer discounts for military, which is thoughtful of them. Really though, the value is there for a yoga studio of this quality. OVERALL This dedicated yoga studio is a great addition to Gig Harbor. There's a sense of community and relaxation afterwards, which is something you won't usually get out of "gym" yoga classes. I'm a little jealous that my hometown has a yoga studio like this, but I'll look forward to stopping by to keep up my practice whenever I'm in town.

A yogi's hidden gem in Pierce County…read more I am in such deep gratitude for this yoga studio. It all started over a year ago when I moved myself and my family out here to this area. I knew I wanted to get back into yoga and decided to try out Tuladhara's new student special last summer for my birthday gift to self. Best decision of my 30's thus far! Fast forward to over a year now being at this studio: 1. I have never felt more connected to Self while practicing on my mat nowadays, all thanks to the amazing teacher staff here (special shout out to Alicia, Leslie, Laura, Sona and Caitlin!). 2. I am officially certified as a 200 Hour RYT myself THANKS to this studio. I took their 200 Hour training earlier this year and have since then graduated (extremely life-changing experience for those interested in becoming a certified yoga instructor or to simply deepen your practice). 3. Still one of the cleanest (with no marketing BS) yoga studios I've practiced in. If you're new to yoga, come to Tula. If you're not-so-new-but-would-like-to-come-back-to-it, come to Tula.

I have taken 3 classes here so far. 2 Power yoga classes: Wow, my first class kicked my butt. I was sore for a couple days after this class and I was sweating hard during all the chaturangas. This was a solid, intermediate level yogi workout. My second class was very personalized since there was only me and one other participant. It was less difficult cardio-wise, but it was definitely hard on my smaller muscles as it was focused on improving balance! Yin/yang yoga - this is a restorative style evening yoga meant to reconnect your mind-body and it was such a nice way for me to end a stressful workweek. Definitely felt mentally re-aligned afterwards and slept well that night. Studio is small and cozy. There is an ac unit that blasts cold air continuously. Wood floor is generally clean. They have mats, blocks, bolsters, and straps for use. My only issue is that this location is far from my house. I'll try to make more classes but distance is my issue.
