Love the selection of classes and friendly teachers. The studio is well equipped and inviting. I look forward to many more classes.

Customer service is substandard. I prepaid and regretted it.

I went to Bhavana on 12/20/17 and 12/22/17 for open yoga while visiting family in the area. I was looking for a place to recover from traveling and deal with the stress the holidays. Bhavana has a drop in rate of $18.00 which is more than fair when compared to other yoga studios. I like the fact that my personal items were secure. The studio offers free cubicles for their participants to store their personal items. The FRONT DOOR OF THE STUDIO IS LOCKED AFTER CLASS BEGINS (and since Bhavana only has 1 studio) the only people who have access to your personal items are the other class participants. If you're a guest you can use one of their mats free of charge. I did not see a place to purchase water and/or refreshments so make sure to bring water with you (particularity if you're attending one of their warm or hot classes). The studio where the classes are held is relatively small. However, Bhavana does it best to accommodate everyone comfortably in the room. The regulars participants were friendly and accommodating (they were more than willing to help fit more people in). I thought my instructor Brittany was very good. I have taken several yoga classes over the years (but I am no way a "yogi") and, her detailed explanations on how to get into a pose and/or use a prop(s) was one of the best I have experienced. I also found the use of props during her classes very unique. For example, the blocks I have typically used in yoga (to go deeper into a pose) were used as weights. If I had one compliant is the studio has a lot of "warm" or "hot" yoga classes on their schedule. I would have liked more classes that were not done in this style. I am not a fan of "hot" yoga and, I might have attended more classes had I had the option for a non-heated class. In a nutshell next time I am in Sarasota, FL I will make it a priority to check out a class at Bhavana. read more

Bhavana Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I am so disappointed in this place. Not only will the owner not extend my one month membership due to my work schedule but today in class there was a roach! Disappointed and disgusted by treatment and lack of customer service. read more

I really love this yoga studio. Everyone is very nice. It's so much fun to be learning yoga. I was nervous but they are so welcoming and try to help me as I begin my yoga journey. I am taking a variety of classes and enjoy each one I highly recommend this yoga studio. It's a convenient location with a variety of times and I think they are affordable. I am also impressed with the special touches to make each class an experience. The instructors are very knowledgeable and walk you through each position/pose and variations when needed. The owner of the studio Soraya does a great job and each instructor brings something unique to their class. This has been my first yoga month and a true blessing! read more

Love Bhavana! Soraya the owner is so accommodating and genuinely cares. I feel extremely comfortable there and have from day one! I was new to yoga and thanks to Bhavana I now love and do yoga regularly! read more

Shortly after I started going to this yoga studio, Soraya (also one of the instructors) purchased it. Seemingly, overnight the energy changed along with quite a few needed updates to the studio. It's now a very welcoming,calming and peaceful environment. It's amazing what "good energy" will do. I've been so impressed with Soraya's Tuesday morning "All Levels" class, and Kim's Friday morning Gentle class. The readings, and at times the sharing of essential oils during class, have been so healing and appreciated. The only reason I gave 4 of the 5 stars is that the morning classes begin at 9AM. I'd love it if they could begin at 930-10:00. I totally understand though that majority rules, and that it would effect the classes that follow. Thank you Bhavana for creating a lovely studio so close to home. read more

It's a great studio with the various class offerings, special events, knowledgeable instructors, and convenient location.

Do not miss an opportunity to practice yoga here. I did my yoga instructor certification here and it was an amazing experience. The beauty of the studio will enhance your experience along with the caring and professional instruction. Namaste read more

Last minute joined a class here and was pleasantly surprised. The Sarasota location is located on the backside of the building. Small space but it was enough for the number of people attending. They have a $29 for 2 weeks unlimited which my bf did and he enjoyed most classes. I would love to go back when I am in town! read more

I love the smaller, more intimate atmosphere of classes here and all of the instructors are wonderful!

Bhavana is the treasure that I found as I was exploring a local plaza while visiting Sarasota. I immediately felt welcome as I inquired about their classes. During my stay, I took advantage of the introductory 2-week unlimited plan. In all I attend 7 classes of various titles. I found that they use a variety of props, bolsters, blocks, blankets, balls, and encourage adapting the poses as dictated by your body. The other students were friendly and helpful. The instructors were great, very calming and enthusiastic toward their craft. I felt like this could be my home studio when I am away from home. Great place, wonderful people! read more

I highly encourage everyone to try the outdoor yoga class at Heartwood Retreat Center. My instructor, Denver was warm and inviting. She guided me through the entire class. It was a spiritual experience I'll never forget. Thank you! read more

I found this studio about 2 months after I moved permanently to Sarasota. I was searching for a studio that was not far from my place and I found this one, which was under a different owner at the time. I loved it immediately and was very pleased with the instructors and the space. Soraya, one of the instructors, purchased the studio shortly after I joined and renamed it Bhavana Yoga. She continues to improve the space and to try to offer different classes. They have classes at various times of the day and 7 days a week. I do wish that the Vinyasa Flow classes were more popular as I prefer those and the slow flow and haha yoga to the warm or hot classes, although I do love the Saturday morning early warm vinyasa as the heat is only on for part of the class. If you are looking for caring and well-trained instructors and a warm and inviting space, please consider Bhavana Yoga Studio. read more
