My work decided to have a yoga instructor come in twice a week and offer a group rate type payment…read moreplan. I wavered on this for a few days but finally realized that it's simply never going to be any cheaper or any more convenient; that this is as good an opportunity as I'm going to get, so why not? Please keep in mind that I'm 260 pounds and do not exercise beyond walking my dogs and swimming. So today was day one of my yoga experience. Lindsey arrived on time to our office and brought everything we'd need to get going: mats, blocks, straps, music, payment punch cards and an awesome, fun attitude :-) And did I mention that she's 6 months pregnant?? (I'll admit that I felt much more confident in doing yoga with my own big belly when I saw hers!) We begin with some explanations of terms and of how Lindsey likes to teach. Next thing I know we're on the floor stretching and doing it. We are doing yoga in the middle of the day at my work... ok- pretty cool :-) As we change poses and laugh at how unbalanced we all are, I discover that I'm having some dizziness issues so I mention it out loud during class hoping it won't spell the end of my yoga opportunities. Lindsey said that was no problem, that there were various poses that would work the same body parts that would not make me as dizzy. I was SO glad I said something instead of just quitting :-) The tone of her response kept me feeling optimistic. (Thanks Lindsey!) Lindsey is so kind and gentle and patient, I felt immediately at ease with her despite the sweat dripping off my nose! I am so thankful for this opportunity to work with Lindsey. I do feel more energized today after our first session and I'm excited to go back :-) If you're nervous or intimidated to try yoga, I highly recommend reaching out to Lindsey, she can devise a plan that will make it workable for you all while addressing any issues or fears you may have.

The perfect concept and execution! I'll admit this was my…read morefirst visit and I promise to update but so far, so excellent! Stephanie, the instructor, went at a medium pace and her teaching style kept the semi experienced yogi (like me) engaged and on track. Unfortunately - and maybe it's a fluke - this particular class fell into the bro-ga category. I've been assured this is not typically the case, but golly; will some diversity please show up next time? Afterward we had margaritas and I went to a brewery near Amelie's to wind down. All in all, having yoga and beer is a full on win concept. Please come try it out - provided you're willing to get bendy and relax with a drink afterward. ;)

This was my first time, and even though I wasn't nervous, I really appreciated the instructor's guidance and support. She gave clear verbal explanations followed by physical demonstrations, which was extremely helpful for those of us who were brand new. The space was clean, welcoming, and I loved that she used sanitizer wipes on the yoga mats before class. I didn't expect the fabric to have such a rough, "grabby" feeling at first, but after a while it didn't bother me at all. The staff was so kind, and we genuinely appreciated the chance to try something different together as a group. Highly recommend!

I have visited this studio a few times and so far I really like it. I must admit that I am not the…read morebiggest fan of yoga. However, since going to this studio I have increased my yoga participation from annually to a few times per year! Next goal is monthly... The studio is small and cozy although it can seek crowed at times (but briefly) during class change and post class when trying to gather my belongings. The lobby contains a few seating areas and merchandise for sale. There is also an area to store belongings during class (no lock up area so avoid bringing valuables). The class size in all the sessions that I have attended is comfortable, not too crowded. All of the instructors have been pleasant and helpful. The best thing I like about this studio is that the various class options tailor to various yoga levels. So far my favorite class has been DEEP STRETCH because it's easier to keep up with the slower pace for the novice or slacker yogis like myself. I also enjoy SLOW FLOW, which has a steady pace of ongoing movement. Class availability and descripts can be easily found and registered for online,which is a big convenience. There is a parking lot, but it is shared amongst other establishments within the plaza. I would recommend this studio and definitely plan to go again, hopefully someday meeting my ultimate goal of attending yoga weekly!

I'm conflicted. I really enjoy practicing yoga and I appreciate new businesses trying to reach out…read moreto the public. However, my husband and I have been greatly disappointed at the business end of Be Yoga. Our initial visit was warm and welcoming (when it was Yoga Palace). The employee greeted us and gave a quick tour of the studio. After checking it out, we decided to commit to the month deal of $39 per person for unlimited classes. Then it took a turn for the worst... Our second visit was chaotic and definitely threw off our practice.The doors were locked, no sign indicating that the class was still scheduled, the teacher arrived 10 minutes before class and didn't have a key, and then he got on the phone to call someone to let us all in. The class started a bit late to say the least. When I went to officially register, the woman helping me told me that one of their class packages was a really great deal and I should buy it because the following day the price would change. The pricing didn't change the following day. Her sales pitch did not sit well with me, especially when she was late and then the price didn't actually change. They kept a business phone in the actual studio. I found it distracting when the phone rang...perhaps they can turn the ringer off or take the phone out of the studio area entirely and leave it at the front desk. When the studio changed owners, we were charged again. It has been a hassle to get refunded to say the least: 1) I called, the phone was disconnected; 2) I went to the studio and there was no clear indication that I could get refunded unless I tracked down the original owner; 3) I had to go to the original owner's other business to finally get reimbursed; 4) the studio manager emailed and said we could get a one-month credit to retry the new studio regardless of the reimbursement outcome; 4) When we emailed to start the complimentary month, the manager told us it was miscommunication and the offer was no longer valid since we were finally reimbursed for the double charge that I had to work for. I hope they are able to make significant customer service changes quickly because they have a lot of potential and are located in a great area. However, we will not be returning...no namaste here for me.

The studio provides a full sensory experience that is pure yogi heaven. The space, lighting, scent, music, and the instructor's calming voice, assistive touch, energy-chef's kiss. What really sets this studio apart is the attention to comfort and detail. There is plenty of space to move freely, and the larger floor mats ensure that you're never spilling onto a hard surface when your pose moves you off of your personal mat. Bring your own mat, or not. They provide everything including props like bolsters and blocks which further makes the experience feel intentional and accessible . The bar has been raised. Kudos to the owners of MYC. You have blessed the village.

Would love to see a reinstatement of that policy.

The staff was super welcoming and friendly which is important when you are looking to have a period of relaxation. I do not remember the name of the guy who assisted me, but he was very knowledgeable of the studio's services and willing to answer any questions I had. Now, about the float therapy- the one hour session went the exact way it was described. I had a little anxiety in the beginning, but once I relaxed and floated, I took a little nap. Real relaxation is when you can fall asleep floating in a tub of water without fear of drowning. After the session was over, there was one thing I wasn't prepared for, but this has no reflection on the wellness studio. I tried my best to keep my belongings far away from the water. However, getting out of the tub wet along with my dripping wet hair, showering, etc. must have gotten a few of my items wet because minutes after I left the studio, I had dried salt on my jacket, jeans, shoes and purse. It was a simple fix to wipe everything down and throw a load in the laundry, but I'll be better prepared at my next float session and bring a duffle bag to keep everything in.

Unfortunately the front desk/Community Ambassador Vince Dubman (I only know his name for researching it, he didn't introduce himself) was anything but the aforementioned qualities; he was unwelcoming, curt, and frosty.
