I chose the Kent location specifically because I saw a recent review from another woman of color, and I'm so glad I did. ​From day one, the representation here has been real. My intro instructor and the staff member who signed me up were POC, and I see that diversity is reflected in my fellow students in almost every class. ​Why I love this studio: ​The Vibe: I was so nervous about being "underdressed," but people here show up in Crocs, leggings, and oversized t-shirts. It's a true "come as you are" environment. ​The Community: A fantastic range of ages and backgrounds. I've never felt out of place. ​The Instructors: I started out super nervous, but every instructor has made me feel safe and supported. I'm now attending 3-4 times a week--the first time in my life I've actually looked forward to a workout. ​Yes, it's an investment but for the first time, I've found a fitness community where I truly feel seen.

I stay and do a Yin class afterwards. The temperatures are good - the Vinyasa and Yin are done at reasonable warm temperatures which is very important to me. If you like that really hot stuff, the Hatha classes are there, but I never do them due to the heat. The facility is nice with an excellent sound system. I love it that there is a variety of music, even within the same class. All of the instructors have been very good. Special mention of Kelsey whose classes particularly resonate with me. Kelsey often does one small adjustment per person per class, and that has slowly improved my yoga practice.

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!

As much as I want to keep this gem my little secret, I cannot help but give Shiva Studio the…read moreglowing review they deserve. Shiva Yoga has been a positive, life-changing experience for me. I've been practicing here for just over three months, and I continually leave class with a calm state of mind feeling relaxed and refreshed. All the instructors are super friendly and encouraging, fostering a safe, judgment-free environment. Shout out to all the instructors that have taught me SO MUCH. Thank you, Liz (owner), Ashley, Jamie, Julie, Michelle, and of course Beau. I love that they each have their unique teaching style, keeping classes fun and exciting. They consistently reinforce fitting the practice to fit your own body's needs. Whether you're just starting or have been doing this for years, all yogis are welcome here. Pilates and barre are still on my to-do list, but I've heard great things about them! They also hold events such as Barre-oke (barre meets karaoke), sound baths, buti yoga, and drum circles. They even did a special puppy (foster puppies) yoga session last month! Things To Note: Although the Shiva Studio remains listed on the Active & Fit website, it no longer participates in the A&F program. In The Kutt, a hip-hop dance studio is right next door; sometimes, each studio has a class simultaneously. Unfortunately, at no fault of Shiva's own, can be distracting to hear their music during a yoga session. However, this happens infrequently and isn't enough to negatively impact their score. FYI, after my two-week trial, I needed some assistance initiating the monthly membership through the Shiva website. Liz quickly and efficiently helped me with this in person at the studio. The Mind Body app is the most efficient way of looking up the weekly schedule and signing up for classes. Liz checks in on you by email after your first few sessions to see if you have any questions or comments! She has been timely and informative with my email inquiries. Come and support a small, local business that only does great things for our community!

Even the weekday classes before 4 PM were either pretty full or completely full. The studio itself is clean and well maintained. Just a heads-up : the showers are group-style (there's one for women, and I assume one for men), so no individual shower stalls. There are only a few toilets and the changing space is quite small, so it can get a little crowded before and after class. Overall, though, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for quality yoga classes and great instructors. The price, atmosphere and teaching make it totally worth it!

I have locked in at their yearly rate, it has been a great investment. I initially thought that yoga could help with my flexibility, but it's been more than that. The mental and physical evolution has been instrumental to my health. I've gain so much confidence to the point where I now take showers with all the yogis after class! I remember seeing the showers early on and was, oh no, I can't do open showers without any curtains. This place has been so welcoming and non judgmental. I feel seen and respected here. The atmosphere is amazing, encouraging and professional. I think I've taken classes with the majority of the teachers at the studio. They each have their own style which is what I love. They are always willing and eager to help and answer any questions. The bathroom and showers are always clean. The studio is large and I love the wall of windows in the back. Of course during the summer it can get steamy in the room but the sunlight after a nice session is always a wonderful gift! I would recommend this place for anyone who is considering trying Yoga classes! They also host different events throughout the year.

He has Palilala or a form of OCD, which requires him to repeat every cue multiple times in a row for every single change in his long, slow cues. He has a hard time explaining how to get into each position and it takes him multiple times to repeat the same sentence before he can move on with his next direction. It's very frustrating for the students who are trying to go from one pose to the next and listen to a long series of repetitive sentences after each pose. Not only did that make me realize how hard it was to relax in yin class, he also made multiple poses feel very uncomfortable with odd comments. He mentioned how one position was good if you are currently on your menstrual cycle. Then he said, "If you aren't currently on your cycle, don't worry because you will be someday". Keep in mind that the class had quite a few men. I was just trying to figure out why an instructor would say that. Then, he started talking about how we need to thank our colons during a different pose. He said, "say, thank you, colon", and then he started talking about how he had a colonoscopy. I thought that the class was giving me weird vibes at the beginning. It just kept getting worse and worse. I guess everyone has different ways of teaching, but social awareness and self awareness are important as an instructor. I may try a different instructor, but this time made me never want to go back.
