I've tried many yoga studios, this one is good but not the best. They offer flows often throughout the week which is appreciated. I can't stand places that shut down over the weekend or just offer a 9am Saturday class. The heat is good, I got some great sweating and detox going. It's a very small studio that gets very crowded. There is also a lack of creativity to a lot of the classes, for example they do side plank over and over again and repeat sequences constantly. read more

To say I'm excited that a studio opened on Carmel Road is an understatement. I love the friendly atmosphere, diversity in the classes, and styles of the teachers. The classes are great for any level and you can modify as needed. I always come away feeling more relaxed and grounded. So glad to be back in practice and the location so close to home is a bonus. read more

I've been coming to this studio for years and have tried others in the Charlotte area and when I travel to different states and this is by far my favorite one. No other studios compare. Great staff, friendly & welcoming environment, mix of beginners and experienced yogis, and plenty of classes per day, so it's always convenient to fit in your schedule. The heat is the perfect amount, never overbearing but you get a good sweat, warm your body, and able to deepen the poses. I've been to other studios that are WAY too hot that I could barely finish the class. I'm happy that I found this studio years ago and feel lucky to be a part of this great community of yogis. Give it a try! read more

This is such a great studio! From the teachers to the community around you. Great energy and a sense of belonging. I highly recommend there are so many instructors and classes. Something for everyone's practice! Go! You won't regret it. NAMASTE read more

I can only get out a mini review right now because I'm in such a zen state. But needless to say, am hour of hot vinyasa flow yoga is just what this body needed to counter all these 17 degree days. The teacher was helpful and provided modifications without being critical and the class was extremely welcoming to a newcomer like me. (Even though they had fancy anti slip mats and I had my Beauty and the Beast towel.) I'll be back for more for sure. read more

Charlotte Yoga - My mat looked a little different from everyone else's - Gyms Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

See all

I did a $10 drop in with Lindsay! Her flow class was AWESOME!!! It's very physical and just the way I love my practice!

I am a Class Pass subscriber and saw that Charlotte Yoga had a highly rated hot vinyasa class, so I decided to sign-up for a class and I am very glad that I did! Once I got over feeling far too square in the majority hipster crowd, I found the instructor and the other yogis super friendly. The studio gets really hot, which is a plus for me because I don't like "hot yoga" classes where I barely break a sweat. Make sure you bring a towel and some water with you because, unlike other studios I've sampled in the Queen City, you'll NEED it at Charlotte Yoga!!! I'm very much beginner/intermediate in my yoga practice and I didn't feel judged for not being able to complete all of the poses. I will definitely return and recommend Charlotte Yoga to both seasoned yogis and beginners! read more

Great first Experience with Charlotte Yoga!! I like hot yoga but this class was HOT. I had sweat dripping in my eyes!! After a while I forgot I was in a sauna and focused on my movements. I'm a beginner yoga person so I would have liked more instruction on finding each pose that I'm not familiar with. I tried to follow those around me but it seemed like everyone was doing a different pose. BUT I wouldn't consider that a bad thing...I will defiantly come back so I can get better! read more

Charlotte yoga is my refuge. My safe place. I love the staff - the owner Courtney is always welcoming and gives the best hugs. The instructors are genuine. You will feel like family here once they see you in your second time. There's an instructor for every one for any level! read more

This place reeks. It smells disgusting and the people are stuck up. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I came because of the great reviews, but I fail to see anything 5 star about this place. read more

Looking for a challenge and are you ready to sweat it up? I couldn't resist trying a class for free to see what Charlotte Yoga is all about. They offered a free class for anyone to practice as a way to dedicate that hour to the people in our lives who inspire us. How cool is that?! Forty-four of us piled in the yoga studio...like tightly packed sardines, but happy sardines nonetheless. Jonathan was the instructor and Lee Anne assisted. They made a great pair! It was nice to get the occasional help to be more aligned or to sink in a pose with assistance. Jonathan was upbeat and encouraged gratitude the entire time...even when I just wanted to fall onto my mat and not move into the next pose. The studio is spacious and has a large window in the back to allow natural lighting to illuminate the room. In addition, they did a great job of airing the studio by propping open the back door and fanning out all the hard work from us yogis for the next class. The entrance is a bit small and gets crowded quickly if too many people are lined up, but what a fun way to meet someone new. Right? They also have a retail section and offer Lululemon apparel. The women's bathroom has approximately 3 showers. It's a bit tight as well, so I didn't stick around too long to scope it out. I appreciate this studio and the instructors who guided us. I will return to try more classes! read more

New Ownership has really turned is studio around. The teachers are awesome and with the newly revamped space really adds to the experience.

Beware!! I have never written a review, but this establishment kept my credit card number after I had purchased classes for my daughter as a gift. When she didn't make it to class they charged me. Covid has hit us all, but credit card fraud is illegal. After I found the charge on my bill, they refunded my money but stole my peace of mind. So much for promoting inner peace. Watch your wallet!! read more

This is a good place for beginners to the art to get introduced. They work with you and you can go at your own pace. They can also set you up with a mat and workout clothes. All in all a good experience. read more

Charlotte Yoga - Gyms Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

After practicing at many other yoga studios around Charlotte, I was pleasantly surprised by this small boutique studio, tucked away in a shopping center. I was in search of a studio that could be challenging for someone with a fairly advanced practice, while still being a warm and welcoming space. I finally found it. Unlike other local studios, whose classes center around one teacher's dogma and style (Baptiste, Bikram, etc) Charlotte yoga integrates the flow of Vinyasa with roots in Ashtanga, Kripalu, among other styles, allowing the instructors to bring some variety and playfulness to the practice. I'm excited to return and experience more here, but so far, I'm a fan. Jonathan is a wonderful teacher. Open and fun, but clearly knowledgeable. read more

I really enjoyed my drop-in class at Charlotte Yoga with Joey. This studio has one room for all yoga classes, so I was impressed at the turn-around time between the hot class and the power hour, switching out pretty quickly in 15 minutes. The hot yoga instructor was kind enough to do a quick Swiffer job on the hardwoods to mop up any leftover sweat pools, for which I was grateful. Glad to see they do this here, as I know not all studios do between classes! Most importantly though, the class was great. Joey had a great way of bringing intention to the practice upon opening, but still allowing each person to have their own experience. The music was at a comfortably loud and upbeat level, a tricky sweet spot to find. Loud enough not to be distracted by others' breathing or talking outside of the studio, not so loud as to not be able to get lost inside one's practice. The sequencing was exactly what I would have expected from the class description. Oh, and he was thoughtful enough to ask my name and introduce himself, always a nice touch to a new student! Just what this yogi on the road needed! I will definitely be back. read more

If you think of YOGA as an anorexic looking person contorting their limbs into pretzel like positions....then you will be pleasantly surprised! HOT YOGA is fun, exciting and beneficial. Yes it is. I finally got the courage to attend my first HOT YOGA class at Charlotte Yoga studio. Impressively enough I was greeted with a warm welcome from the time I stepped through the door. The receptionist, the instructor (Lee Ann) and fellow students were all genuinely inviting and very social. The website prepared me for items I should bring (towel, mat, water, comfortable clothing). The class was very diverse and you move at your own pace. Great class for beginners... p.s. For new students they have a 5 classes for $25 special! Check it out. read more

I love Charlotte Yoga! This is a friendly yoga studio without the pretense of some other studios. The instructors are great-- Rowena, Angie and Jaime are my favorites. And, when you go to a $5 class, not only are you getting a great class but also a great value! The studio itself is clean, and has a lot of natural light streaming in from the floor to ceiling windows, which I like during my practice. I feel a little claustrophobic in a hot studio that doesn't have windows. The bathrooms are adequate (well the women's bathroom, did not check out the men's) with showers. The hall does get crowded during class changes, but most studios have this issue. They also have filtered water, fill up before you get into class! The power classes that are offered after a hot class are little too hot, or I would give 5-stars. Several times the classes that are advertised as "in an 85 degree room" have been in a 100 degree + room (I check the thermostat because I always wonder if something is wrong with me when my practice seems harder than normal!). I have heard several people comment/complan about this issue. Believe me, there is quite a difference between 85-87 degrees and 100 degrees! This place is overflowing with friendly yogis. My husband, who was really intimidated by the whole yoga thing, loves this place! My top 2 studio in Charlotte. --"Friend" them on Facebook for (occasional) coupons and discounts-- read more

I stopped In for a one time class while here for work! It was such an amazing high energy class and was EXACTLY what I needed to start off my weekend. I will make it a point to come back here if ever in charlotte again. If I lived here it would be my regular spot... I think the instructors name was Jenna. But I can't remember. read more

I have been taking classes at this studio for over 5 months now and I really enjoy it. All the instructors have different styles, so find one that you like. Leann is very yoga-like and relaxing while Suzanne gives you a tough workout (I hope I got the names right). My only gripe is all the classes are 'hot.' I love the hot class (95 degrees and up) but I need to find some classes that have no heat and am going to try out other studios. There are some other classes that are not advertised as 'hot' but the temp is never below 85. They have recently redone the studio and it looks great. read more

I have been looking to branch out and explore the various yoga studios at Charlotte. This morning I had the great fortune to experience a PureHot 90 class with Suzanne. She started the class by personally introducing herself to the new yogis, including myself. She was encouraging and positive throughout the class. The class was hot without being sickeningly hot, and Suzanne was always cognizant of the temperature in the room. Overall, I loved the vibe here! Everyone seems warm and caring. The class was challenging and inspirational. This is what yoga is all about. read more

I have been to three classes here This is a first class studio with high quality teachers. If you think of a yoga continuum from focus on teaching yoga vs. focus on giving a hard workout, I found the classes more on the continuum on the teaching side and less on giving a vigorous workout. From a hot yoga standpoint, I would say their heat is medium high usually I expect hotter for hot yoga but it works here and if you prefer a milder hot yoga, this is probably perfect for you. read more

Great place for hot yoga. Lots of class options and the hot power vinyasa is always good.

Huge disappointment. I moved here after doing yoga in both Asheville and Wilmington for ~10 years in several different amazing studios. I REALLY wanted to like this place and will continue to seek a yoga studio home in the area. For starters, Charlotte Yoga is everything but a reverent, meditative, relaxing environment. If that is what you are looking for this is not your spot. As a runner/ biker/swimmer (ironman triathlete in my former life:)) I do yoga to relax, stretch, meditate and get some strength training. The experience at CLT yoga is more like a $19.99/mo gym class; dirty, loud and competitive. When you walk in the room expect a lot of noise and conversation (like you would in any old gym class). Also, I have been 4 times now and 2 of those times the floor was not mopped/cleaned from the prior class. YIKES. So everyone put their mats down in puddles of someone else's sweat from the last hour. This was a bit shocking to me, especially considering the monthly price tag.:Z, but no one seemed bothered by it. Finally, the instructors are focused on the "achievement" of the pose to it's fullest rather than the individual experience. For years my yoga instructors have preached things like "listen to your body today, every day is different, every body is different" and "we are all put together differently, this is not a competition, this is your personal journey." Charlotte yoga is the antithesis. It is all about what you can and can't do. Please understand, this review is not out of inability. Quite the opposite. I am capable and fit. I just think people should know what they are getting into before they visit CLT Yoga. It is not yoga by definition. read more

Try before you buy! I have been going to this studio regularly for over 4 years. The benefits of this studio are 1. They offer many classes throughout the morning, day, and evening, so you can always find a class that works for your schedule. 2. The classes are challenging to all levels with a power/flow style. Most of the teachers use music as well. 3. The atmosphere including the teachers, yogis, etc. is relaxed and friendly. Some of the watch outs: 1. This studio has recently had an owner change and major class schedule change. 2. There is not a lot of consistency with the teachers as they are constantly coming and going, so if you have a favorite teacher, you need to always check the schedule. 3. Additionally the studio has converted the majority of the classes to hot. At times is can be overwhelmingly HOT. This is another area where you can expect inconsistency. 4. They do not offer much for true beginners or restorative classes. 5. Some of the classes can get CRAZY crowded and the studio is rather small so it can be a cluster both in the parking lot and in the studio with the class-changes. As far as price, they are in line with most of the other studios around. If you have flexibility, you can save. But this is another area that continues to change as well. read more

True, I haven't been in a while but being a HUGE fan of hot yoga, I have to say, this studio just didn't do it for me. First thing, music during yoga, dislike, country music during yoga, disdain. And wooden floors for hot yoga, smells better than carpet but very slippery...all in all too much money to go back read more

Love practicing at Charlotte yoga. It's such a great yoga community to be a part of. The teachers are very knowledgeable and personable. Every practice i feel is a new experience. Love you guys !!!!! read more

Offers hot yoga only and teachers really aren't very experienced. I took a trial period for unlimited month to try multiple teachers being new to Charlotte and didn't find any who really understood proper alignment. I won't be returning, I'll be searching for another studio with teachers who are more experienced! read more

After hearing many mixed reviews about this studio, I decided to give it a try. I ventured away from my home studio to try the new student special here. To say the least, I was not impressed. As an experienced teacher with 500hrs+ of yoga training, here is my takeaway: -Many of the teachers here seem unexperienced, very few can comfortably/naturally lead a class. The overall feeling is cold, almost militaristic. Even the checkin people are snobby and not helpful. -What the staff lacks, the space doesn't make up for. The studio offers very little in terms of luxury, usually dirty with hairballs, dust and visible mold on the wall. The bathrooms are bare minimum and the studio floors are hard/uncomfortable to practice on. The lobby floors at southend are gross, dirty/scribbled on. -The final straw that made me decide not to come back was after taking a teachers class who was new to the schedule. He went on and on about himself and his addiction. To be honest, he seemed like he was on drugs because he slurred, rambled and made no sense. He wall all over the place and totally sketched me out- all I wanted to do was leave but I did;t want to seem rude. I think if you're a yoga teacher it's an influential role, and you shouldn't use that platform to talk about yourself the entire time. I felt like he was using us paying clients to give him sympathy and attention. I come to yoga for very different reasons, not to listen to the teacher brag about himself, or disparage others while delivering his sob story. Sorry but this was a definite no and left a very sour taste in my mouth. I will not be back. read more

Was recently in town for the holidays and stumbled upon Jonathan's Power Hour--I was delighted by his efficient, graceful and ass-kicking class. As a long time yogi it's a pleasure to encounter a teacher who is knowledgeable, great at pacing, and delicately intertwines insights about alignment and gratitude, and all with a sense of humor. Thank you Charlotte Yoga and thank you Jonathan! read more

I love love love Charlotte Yoga! It's a great place for more advanced yogis. You have to try Jaimi's power class (or what I like to call yoga bootcamp) on Saturdays at 10:45. All of the other instructors are great and super helpful. read more

Great studio! Very clean, lots of class times. I have been to 5 different instructors and they have each provided a great class. Definitely check this place out! read more

Such a great vibe here!! Love the space. Good music. Warm people. Challenging classes. Mindful thoughts to take with you for later.

I purchased the 30 days for $30 on December 13 knowing that I would have the ability to go over the holiday while my husband was off work. I was notified a few days before Christmas that the studio that I could attend (Park Towne) would be closing for approximately 10 days. Not only was I surprised and extremely disappointed... I emailed two separate times to ask for an extension because it was completely unrelated to anything on my end and I was never informed of this closure when I decided to purchase the package. I never heard back in response to either of my emails... Then today I received an email saying that my package was going to expire only a few days after they've reopened. I am a business owner myself and I find this completely unprofessional and horrible customer service. I am from San Diego where there is a yoga studio almost on every corner and I have been looking for a place to call my yoga home since I moved to Charlotte. I am disappointed to say this place will not be my yoga home as I really enjoyed the classes. read more

I travel around the country for work and come across a lot of yoga studios that are not very good but tonight's class with Tarra was awesome. Fun, challenging and relaxing. I am looking forward to my next trip to the area so I can take her class again. read more

Worst customer service studio I've ever been to. Do not go to Charlotte Yoga. There are much better yoga studios in Charlotte that offer better classes, friendlier staff, and better community environments. read more

This place has really gone downhill in the last few months since the new year. The changes in staff, removal of mirrors, misguided schedule changes are all stripping away what used to make this place my go-to yoga spot. The new management doesn't seem to care less about customer feedback. From what I hear the owner has a terrible rep and creeps me out always trying to hug and flirt with attractive young girls. The quality of teachers has declined in my opinion and alot of the new teachers have a boring repetitive style and don't really seem to know what they're doing. They rarely play any music or get the class pumped up or excited. The schedule and teachers are inconsistent, the mirrors have been taken down and there isn't a single class on the schedule that isn't hot. The renovations look like they ran out of money and are trying to cover it up with gaudy decor. The prices continue to increase every few months without any warning. They increased the autopay prices and re-signed me back up at the new price without even asking me first or informing anyone of the rate hike! When I approached the owner about it he lectured me on class prices and broke down how frequently I was coming. It seems like they are greedily just trying to make a buck to keep from going out of business. It makes me sad because it no longer has the cool friendly vibe it once did where you walk in and felt embraced and loved by the staff. The best teachers have all moved on to other studios and the front desk has become a revolving door of strangers. Sorry but I can't continue to be disappointed by this place. I go to yoga to find peace, not to increase my frustrations. read more

I came to this studio years ago and the classes were always awesome but then the great instructors left or work at other studios and the classes became okay I came early at 7 once and it seems they put the trainees early the class was only 3 people I can see why. I was a little upset because I got up earlier to go to a class that was not so good and still had to pay the same price for it. I also think the classes are way too hot but I will quit complaining and just go elsewhere read more

Charlotte Yoga is my favorite studio in town. It is my favorite studio because of the vast amount of class offerings. There are so many classes. I always have time to practice around my work schedule. I love this studio. It is clean and it is just what I need to unwind (and get a good workout) after work. Also, the package deals here are definitely worth the $! They are very reasonable in comparison to a lot of other studios. read more
