I started coming here more regularly a few months ago and I'm so glad that I did! I've been…read morepracticing yoga since I was a teenager and it has become such an integral part of my life over the years. No matter where I've moved, I've always managed to find a studio and I'm so glad to have found BambooMoves in Locust Point! It's more than just a space where I practice yoga - it's a space that helps me reflect on things and take some much needed time for myself. I love the fact that it's walking distance from my home and that it has such a calming vibe. When I start at a new studio, there are always a few things I look for - clean, bright and open space, small class sizes, friendly teachers and the option to practice at my own pace. BambooMoves checks off all those boxes and so much more! Everyone at the studio is so friendly and welcoming and is always encouraging students to listen to their bodies and practice at the pace that feels most comfortable to them. There are classes for all levels as well as classes for people just starting out in their yoga practice. Signing up for a class is super easy as well. If you visit the BambooMoves website, you can access the schedule for the week and can sign up directly on the website. All in all, I highly recommend this studio!

Today I took a aerial yoga class for the first time and I had a great time. I was a little scare at…read morefirst because it was a mixed class (with intermediate yogis) but everyone was welcoming and helping. The instructor was very sweet and she made me feel comfortable when I felt like I was going to fall flat on my face. I dont own a yoga mat but they had some mats available at the class. I will be going back

Today I took my gentle yoga class with Jayne, one of the owners of Yoga on York. Jayne is an…read moreexcellent teacher and very detailed with her instruction. I know what an excellent teacher is because I am a RYT-200 teacher of yoga, and taught for 12 years until I could no longer teach due to physical issues not related to yoga. The practice room is small, very clean (no dust balls) and quite nice. You enter from the door on York Road and there is a tiny registration area where you leave your shoes. The owners cleverly divided the studio from the commercial area with a set of sliding frosted glass doors to provide filtered light and privacy. Jayne locks the door about five minutes after the class starts to provide security - and peace to the yogis and yoginis in the studio. There is space for 12 to 16 students to practice comfortably. In the back of the studio behind a half-wall are two separate dressing rooms with lots of clothes hooks, a cabinet with props and a large bottle of hand cleanser (nice idea). Behind this area is a massage room and a little further back is a very clean, well-stocked restroom. There are some nice photographs and artwork on display giving the room a very warm feeling. So now that I've described the environment, what is it about the class that makes this a five star production. There are many teachers, with many styles, but Jayne is a spiritual yoga dance instructor. She has many years of dance and yoga experience and has her own dance company. She is also a creator of aerial yoga and has written a book about this lighter than air yoga called "Aerial Dance." WBALTV recently featured this on one of their shows at: http://www.wbaltv.com/news/health/Sarah-tries-aerial-yoga/-/9379230/12559522/-/784eag/-/index.html She has a unique understanding of how the body moves in space and how the postures can be done with safety from her many years of dancing and yoga. The class always moves nicely and there are postures that focus on the tightest spaces in the body ( the lower lumbar and those terrible tight hamstrings). Students never have to worry about how they look or what level they are when they take this gentle yoga class. It's a choreographed 60-minute class that works for all. She provides breath work (pranayama), an intention for the class, postures that everyone can do (asanas) and a rest period (Savasana -corpse pose). The price is right and it is so worth the effort to attend. This class is authentic yoga, and provides the total package for anyone who wants to learn about how the mind/body connection works to reduce stress in a safe environment.

Jen is really lovely, she is super kind to all clients. This is a trend with CP but the teaching…read moreskills are a bit inconsistent. Some instructors are better with explaining how to do the movements correctly. I really have enjoyed my classes with Taylor and Avery (best music as well). I've taken classes with 5 other instructors as well. Another trend I've noticed is the lack of inclusivity. I've been to other workout studios and there's usually a culture of kindness, here I'll smile at the women and they will literally look at me like or just looking up/down at you... it seems oddly competitive? My other experience as well is one of the instructors kept calling me by the name of the only other Asian girl in the studio, I didn't notice it until midway through class. Lastly I think the cost for 8 classes a month for $200 is a bit steep when looking at Solidcore/Core power yoga unlimited classes are $180 per month. Something to note! I definitely would've kept going if the cost made sense and I could frequent classes with solid instructors.

The classes are challenging yet fun, and I love the 1.5 class format - it's the perfect balance. My only wish is that they offered more Sculpt or high cardio classes, as I tend to lean towards those. One thing to note: be prepared for a monthly contract. Overall, I'm enjoying it and look forward to sweating it out with Nicole and Taylor!

Finally - a barre studio in the area! I've gone to many barre classes in other cities, and…read moreBarrevolution definitely combines the best of all of them - big movements mixed with smaller, isometric movements. You will definitely feel sore the next day. The instructors provide a great energy to set the tone of class. Since it's a new studio, they're open to feedback, adding new class times and classes, and have lots of great events. Added bonus - parking lot with free parking!

I've been attending classes for almost a year now and there are not enough nice things I could say about about Barrevolution. From barre to PiYo to boot camp, the classes are challenging but always so much fun. Everyone is so kind and helpful, but most importantly charitable. Sometimes there's even some dog sightings and babies. 12/10 would recommend.

As a Bikram Yoga instructor, I have high standards. I like it hot. I'm not talking the prescribed…read more104 degrees with 40% humidity. No! I'm talking throw me into the mouth of a fire breathing dragon, allow me to suffer a bit, sometimes tease me with a breath of fresh air, allow me to continue melting, and throw some positivity in to keep me from completely sputtering out. Thankfully, Breathing Dragon lives up to its name. This delightful hot yoga studio, which was converted from a core power yoga studio, has everything I need to be happily at home. Breathing Dragon IS absolutely hot. While a hot yoga room is ideal, teaching is VERY important to me. Mori, the owner, is exceptional!!! She is, what I would refer to in the yoga world, a Master Teacher. She is extremely knowledgable about the body, the yoga practice, has over 20 years of teaching experience, and radiates positive energy. She has funny jokes, inspiring quotes, and advanced corrections which is particularly important to someone like me who has almost 22 years of yoga practice. She walks around with a ruler, ensures proper alignment, and provided me with hands on corrections, which I just adore. Thank you, Mori. Her rays of sunshine alleviated (some of) my suffering - after all, I chose to practice in the hottest spot in the room (far left when facing the mirror). Mori did kindly advise me of that spot, but I love a challenge. Let me say, Mori's class is a pleasant challenge. I have practiced at 100s of studios around the US and other countries. I have very high standards. Mori meets Every Single One of them. Would I practice here again? Absolutely. The studio has showers, lockers (bring your own lock), towels/mats for rent, and cubby holes for shoes at the door. Mori of Breathing Dragon has fostered a beautiful community of welcoming practitioners. If you move to downtown Baltimore or just passing through and want to make friends or just simply meet quality humans, practice at Breathing Dragon.

I live in LA but travel through Baltimore often and love this studio. Similar to my LA studio, the…read morefloor is not carpeted which definitely minimizes lingering odors. If you are used to practicing regular yoga, i.e. without heat and on a wood floor, I can see why you might detect a sweaty odor in any Bikram studio. But since the point of Bikram is to sweat, most studios will have some odor and humidity. I've been practicing Bikram for 4 years - this studio is clean, not smelly, roomy and cozy. The teachers are uniformly excellent and they keep the room hot. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming. The bathrooms are clean and there are three showers and numerous lockers if you want to lock up your stuff. I'm grateful to have Bikram Baltimore my home away from home! 11/1/19 - still love this studio. Consistently good teachers, clean and professional. If You are used to bikram yoga, you will find it a pleasure. If it's your first time, it's always a challenge but everyone here is nice and supportive

I just got back from my first Bikram Yoga class ever. I've done Ashtanga yoga before, but never hot…read moreyoga. When you first walk into the room, it's of course hot (as it's supposed to be), but smells like a wet dog. The floor is carpeted, and people sweat all over the carpet, but it honestly smells like they don't ever clean the carpet. It's honestly disgusting. On top of that, I went with a diabetic friend who also had never done hot yoga. The instructor, Barbara, recommended that we stay in the room, even if we can't do the moves, to receive the most benefit out of the class. She also told us it is normal to feel nauseous or light-headed during class. After about 15-20 minutes of class, my friend wanted to step out for a minute because she didn't feel well. Being diabetic, it is really easy to get dehydrated and she wanted a bit of fresh air so she could try to last through the whole 90-minute class. Barbara asked her to stay, and she didn't because it's ultimately her choice as to whether or not she steps out for air. After a few minutes, Barbara had us take a brief water break and stepped out to talk to my friend. She came back in shortly thereafter and made a few comments about how wrong and inappropriate it is for people to leave class. I don't care who you are or what business you're in, but it is NEVER appropriate to talk badly about a customer in front of other customers. Ever. For any reason. I asked my friend what happened after we left, and she told me that Barbara came out and just basically yelled at her for leaving class. She said she talked to her like a child, and told her she can't leave class and she can't be hanging around there because "she might steal something." She came out a while later and walked up front, diddled around at the front desk and kept an eye on my friend, making sure she didn't do anything wrong. Barbara never bothered to ask if my friend was okay (and she knew my friend was diabetic), she never asked if she had any blood sugar problems, or even tried to encourage her to finish the class. She barked at her like she was a dog and then accused her of trying to steal. In addition, after she came back in the class room at one point, she was going on and on about how different people have different thresholds and different capabilities and such. Yet, somehow, it wasn't okay for someone who didn't have a high threshold for heat to step out for a minute and catch their breath. I can tell you one thing, I will never give them my business ever again. Even if we had enjoyed the class and wanted to come back, after being treated that way as a new customer, it makes me not want to come back. How can you honestly treat new customers that way? I don't understand how someone can be so rude. I've never in my life had a yoga instructor be anything less than encouraging and caring. But if one instructor there is like that, I can't imagine what the others are like.

I attended the Movement and Meditation class on Friday at 11am (as part of the deal) and got entry for just $4.10! I managed to find street parking right out front during this time. The entrance to the studio is tucked away in a little alley. When you walk in, you're warmly greeted by the colorful wallpaper, patterned tiled floor, and comfy lounge area. This building is very historical and looks to have been an old bible study building. You wouldn't think this would make for a good yoga studio but the high ceilings and large windows are just perfection! Elizabeth (owner and teacher) led the movement and meditation class expertly. It was a great class for centering myself and giving my body a rest since I mainly do vinyasa yoga and weight lifting. This particular class was super slow, gentle, and incorporated some releasing postures I had never tried before. I highly recommend paying a visit to Soulage! Your body and mind will thank you.

Kristy and Jodie are amazing Pilates instructors and extremely welcoming to all skill levels. While I had taken several Pilates classes before, I had not used a Pilates reformer until first visiting Embody Pilates & Wellness in 2018 - I might have been the only one in my first class who had zero reformer experience. Instructing a class with a wide variety of experience can be challenging, but Kristy and Jodie do it with ease and seamlessly offer modifications to make each portion of the class accessible to anyone. Easily Baltimore's best!

I try to go to all the classes she teaches because not only is she kicking my butt and making me the strongest I've ever been, there's just something about her that is so soothing to my brain. She's always excited to see you and she is so encouraging during the workout. It will be the toughest workout but somehow she makes it not seem so bad. It helps that she is either doing the entire workout with you or demonstrating so you know exactly what to do. I can't sing her praises enough! Definitely go to her if you're new to barre (or a pro at barre!). I use the "mind body" app to schedule all my classes (or just go to their website).
