A variety of yoga classes, including accessible and challenging ones, with knowledgeable instructors. A nice studio, too.

What a great place once you hit the class. Checking in can feel a little clunky and cold but wait until you get inside. I wish they fit my schedule and level. This teacher is really good! read more

Love Aya Yoga Oasis! This is my favorite yoga studio. I was looking for a yoga studio close to hime and after trying a couple this was an easy decision. Thank you Carrie for creating a wonderful community with fantastic teachers. This is my happy place. read more

The 2 studios and adjoining rooms are beautiful and welcoming. There's a great range of classes on offer, from fiery heated vinyasa flows to ethereal meditative options to fluid unheated practice. The owner, Carrie, has a great vision for making this a true oasis where members and guests can practice, relax, and find a moment's (or several hours') worth of peace in a soothing space and accepting community. I love the inclusion of complimentary tea in the sitting area which encourages me to stick around as I reawaken after savasana and mingle with fellow yogis. There's even a reading room and lending library upstairs, stocked with books on wide-ranging topics that members can enjoy there, or borrow and take home for a bit! Side note! If I had a layover at SeaTac, I'd certainly consider taking a Lyft over to Burien (it's just 10 mins from the airport!) to squeeze in a class or even some self-guided open studio time between flights. Bonus: there's some real tasty restaurants within walking distance of the studio to grab a bite after a class, or pick up take-out to take back to the terminal while waiting to board. read more

I've been a member at Aya since it first opened. So much about living during a pandemic caused me to take many months off from yoga classes and my personal yoga practice. With the announcement of in-studio classes resuming with above and beyond Phase Two precautions being met, I decided it was time to head back into Aya. With 3 kids and a partner all home all the time, streaming and/or video classes just don't work for me. I was extremely nervous about participating in an indoor, public activity so I reached out to the owner, Carrie. Her response was understanding, caring, and reassuring, so I took the plunge! The studio has always been kept immaculate, even pre-Covid, but Carrie and her husband Steve have gone to great lengths to do everything within their control to keep their instructors and students healthy. Class sizes are limited to far less than the 25% capacity required in phase 2 (only 6 students per class!), they keep doors open (don't worry, the heat works well!) for ventilation, they've brought in new air purifiers, and masks are required for everyone. Of course, it still felt strange coming into an indoor, public space after nearly a year of avoiding this kind of thing, but it is clear that Carrie and Steve understand the importance of distancing, masking, and ventilating to keep folks healthy. As for the yoga itself, Aya is a place that will meet you where you are. Instructors understand pandemic life has taken a toll on our physical activity and there is zero judgement. I am not even close to being in the physical (not to mention mental/spiritual) shape I was in a year ago and I feel cared for as I take the scary step into practicing yoga again. read more

The definition of "oasis" is a "fertile or green spot in the desert." It represents a type of shelter from the storm. It is a moment of respite from the conditions of the desert. Out of something that has come to symbolize a lack of life and something devoid of vitality, the oasis emerges. There are so many good yoga studios, however, most of them purely focus on the physical act. Not Aya. That is what draws me here. The yogis have amazing energy, space is warm and welcoming. They thought of everything. From the ridiculous cork floors (if you have never done yoga on cork floors you are sooo missing out) to the frosted glass that lets light in but provides total privacy. The reading/meditation space, tea, shower etc. It's all there. This is a complete body/mind/soul experience with Yoga instructors that realize everybody is at their own stage and invite you to do your best without pushing you to a place of discomfort. Truly an oasis read more

Tried multiple different studios in the area and this is by far the best one. Super encouraging, and they focus a lot on the actual yoga and form. The teachers seem to know everyone by name and generally care if you improve. Glad this place was suggested to me. read more

Aya's owner, Carrie, has been my primary yoga instructor for several years now. Her collaborative personal way of leading a yoga class, as well as her passion for community and total inclusion is awesome. Her new studio has now opened and I highly recommend that you become a member, as Aya Yoga Oasis is absolutely proving to be a wonderful place to practice yoga, meditate, and be part of a wonderful community! read more

See all

Sold on this studio after doing the two week special. Clean and welcoming environment, very flexible and convenient scheduling which is perfect with my rather crazy schedule. Pilates offering was also great (was very sore after Pilates class in the best way). Highly recommend this studio if you are in the area. read more

Aya is amazing and truly has something for everyone. I get so much out of the classes -- mind, body, and spirit. I love George Ann's water class & Carrie's, Isabelle's, Tera's, and Katie's fire classes (although every teacher there is honestly amazing). I'd recommend them to any and everyone. They have really cool monthly offerings like sound baths, new years events, and deep meditations. I think they have classes suitable for every level of practice, truly. I appreciate that the studio is only lightly heated for their Fire classes, I feel its better suited for the purpose of yoga, rather than a studio that is over 100 degrees and incredibly uncomfortable. They also offer unheated classes, (which is oddly hard to find these days) that I really enjoy. Aya is incredibly inclusive to all, body positive, and non-judgmental -- I feel welcome to have fun and experiment in class (even if I fall over sometimes)! Aya has greatly improved my practice in every sense and is a community I'm so grateful to have found. I've learned so, so much wisdom from their offerings that I will hold forever. Beyond worth the membership! Coming here is one of my favorite, most proud things about my everyday life. The studio is always super clean and cute, has a comfy corkboard floor, and two studio rooms. Clean microfiber towels, mats, blocks, bolsters, fresh water (and cups!), blankets, and straps are always available in abundance. The bathroom is fully stocked and always clean. Teachers are mindful about touching and helpful around injuries or concerns. I never feel pressured to do a pose. There is no competitive feeling here, it is truly a fluid, non-judgmental, open, and welcoming community. Another huge plus is how flexible they are with scheduling. Many studios charge you for missing a classes, I really appreciate that Aya doesn't do this. Things happen. They also offer classes at many different times, to fit into your schedule easily. I can't say enough! read more

A real hidden gem! I purchased the Groupon and I am not disappointed! What a great, welcoming, and friendly community! There is a class for every one at any level and the variety of classes that they offer is very diverse. I would highly recommend this studio! Check it out! read more

I decided getting back into Yoga after a long time and decided to give this new studio a try, and I really like it! They are very nice and the class was great, they really put a lot of thought into everything they do and make you feel very welcomed, I really like they're upstairs meditation area! Will definitely continue coming back. I highly recommend you try it! read more

What a wonderful gem of a studio. The classes are a perfect blend of work and relaxation. The instructors take the time to make sure everyone is in the best pose for their body mechanics. They are patient and clam yet certainly don't let you cheat yourself out of a good workout. Though I only had experience with gym yoga I have been able to join the classes and get up to speed with their direction and cues. My favorite part of this space is that it in inclusive to everyone. You don't need to be a life long yogi to benefit. They not only use the proper pose and shape names they also put it in regular layman's terms. I highly encourage everyone to come try it out. You will be hooked! read more

Lovely studio with lots of different classes to offer. The studio is very inviting and promotes diversity and acceptance. Their class names are after the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Metal, etc. They offer traditional style classes, heated to 85 degrees or unheated, strength yoga classes and pilates. Best pricing I've seen around the area for classes as well. The teachers are excellent and get to know you by name right off the bat. Carrie & Steve are so sweet and love getting to know their students. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Welcoming studio, beautiful people. I started yoga just a little over two months ago. I visited all yoga studios in Burien before selecting Aya Yoga. Carrie was very welcoming and the place had a good vibe - that first impression hasn't changed. From the get-go, the instructors made me feel welcome and helped me learn (still are) the proper techniques. I enjoy the variety of classes offered. The instructors have different styles but a similar passion and desire to share their knowledge and insights. It makes for a nice community where everyone from beginners to experienced yogis can feel at home. I strongly recommend Aya Yoga Oasis and I suggest you come see for yourself why this place is unique. read more

What the community has been searching for in yoga. I have lived and worked in Burien for 11 years now. Finally there is a yoga community I can call my permanent home. The asanas to the meditation I feel like I have found a true place to be. Carrie (owner) has a true passion and vision. The space is warm and inviting with two studios one heated and one unheated, a reading nook, hot tea, 2 bathrooms one with a shower when you are on the go. I will be back for days, weeks and years to come. read more

Aya has a beautiful, warm, and inviting space. Every detail has been thought of. You feel a sense of calm walking through the front door. All of the teachers that I have taken class with are approachable and very friendly, ready to answer any questions you might have. Each instructor brings his or her own personality and passion to every class. This is a great place to practice whether you are brand new to yoga or more advanced. There is something for everyone! read more

Carrie and her team are amazing!!! Love this studio and it's authenticity. The teachers are all unique and very knowledgeable! Each class offers something everyone needs and they're always holding space for each attendee. I love coming here for practice because I like the more intimate setting and vibe of the space, and the offering to listen to your body and do what you need for today. They are very open and welcoming towards new students of all shapes sizes backgrounds and experiences. My favorite classes are Vinyasa, Earth and Ether -- highly recommended! They offer yoga tools such as weighted blankets, bolsters, blocks and straps as needed depending on the class of the day. I also appreciate the acknowledgement cards for hands on adjustment which other studios do no offer verbally or as a signal. HIGH RECOMMENDED yoga studio! One of my favorites and in the top 5 in Burien/ the Seattle area! read more

So happy to have this beautiful space to practice yoga in Burien. The studio is bright and cozy, comfortable and welcoming. All the classes I've taken have been great! Lots of different styles offered, all from excellent teachers. read more
