I'm baaaaack yogis, back on my mat and back to core power. If you've been here before expect a…read moreworkout like no other. I love the vibe, the classes, the music and the teachers. Personally I make every excuse not to come to class but once I'm here and I'm done, it's 110% worth it. You'll feel stronger, relaxed and all the stress and worries just go away. I come here to not think about the outside world for just an hour and it really works. Whether it's your first time coming or you've been a yogi forever, I'm sure you can agree with me but the classes are great and as long as you come here with an open mind, you'll keep coming back! Ok down to the logistics. First things first, if you're new, welcome! Signing up is easy. You can either sign up at the location or online and you get a free week! What a great deal right? You can literally take as many classes and try them all before you commit to a set of classes or the black tag membership. Next, sign up for classes online and then head on over. Once you get here, check in the front and then walk to the back to drop off your belongings. Although this place is in a nice location, I would bring a lock just in case you leave your personal belongings. I usually leave my mat bag and then bring my wallet, keys and phone to class but that's because I always forget to bring my lock. Then walk over to room 1 or 2 for your class. Set up your mat and enjoy your class. Some other key tips or just things to know and bring - a water bottle and a towel to dry yourself off. Oh and try not to step on other yogi's mats if you're trying to move around in a crowded class. That's it! Enjoy and hope you found this review helpful. If you did, give me a thumbs up and a follow!

Came here last night to try out a class (Core Restore) and I was really impressed with this…read morefacility upon walking in, it's very clean, the layout is nice, one of the instructors (I wish I had her name) at the register was very friendly and very welcoming, the restroom and lockers were pretty clean and tidy. The yoga room felt comfortable, very spacious and the people who come here all are quite friendly with one another. They also had wipes which I used to wipe down our blocks. I set up my mat towards the front of the room by the side wall (closet) and as I was getting ready to lay down and do some stretching I noticed a cockroach running across on my mat and luckily I had the wipes I used to wipe down my mat so I was able to smush it but ughh was so disgusted by it, and I couldn't help but think what if I hadn't seen it and I was already laying down it may have ran and brushed up next to me or got in my hair. And I wouldn't have seen it, but the fact that I did put me in a totally different headspace the rest of the night and felt unsettled by it the rest of the class. Well after class ended and the lights came on and I was getting ready to clean up and roll my mat, I AGAIN saw a bug (I don't know what kind) making its way on my mat! Very disappointing and uneasy. The class itself was great, the instructor was wonderful, it did get quite warm in there during our class which I noticed our instructor opened the door to let some air in. I did let the instructor know after that I saw cockroach in the beginning of class and it seemed like the facility was already aware of this issue, as she acknowledged that the roaches come from under the closet door, however, it didn't feel like much is being done to address it. So yogis, beware of securing a spot by the closet as these could very easily come out. With that said, I hope the studio can take additional steps to address and eliminate the presence of roaches and other bugs so members can feel comfortable and relaxed in the space, especially after what was found last night.

(They were too intense and lacked the spiritual side that I love about yoga.) I am used to bikram and I don't believe they offer the traditional bikram sequence but I don't mind because they incorporate a lot of the same postures into their flow classes.

I have only been coming to YogaSukhum for about 2 months (nearly daily), but I can definitely feel…read moreand see a a difference. I joined yoga because I needed an outlet for my anxiety and burnout from work. I feel more flexible and for the first time ever, have been able to touch my toes (a small but important success for me). All the instructors are great, especially Satya and Varsha. I absolutely love the fact that they take the time and explain why the poses are done in each way, the importance of it and what part of the body we're working on. I've always been hesitant about starting yoga because I have been very conscious about my lack of flexibility and unable to hold certain poses. But at YogaSukhum, it's never about the ability to hold a pose, it's where your body is that day and going into the pose correctly and safely. Using yoga props, not forcing poses and listening to my body, has allowed me to improve on my flexibility, feel stronger and have been able to hold and do poses that I never thought I would be able to. The instructors are very personable, will address specific limitations and will provide any modifications needed to feel comfortable and confident. I truly appreciate that they push us to go further, but never make us uncomfortable. I have also attended a sound bathe and an inversion training class. It was my first time experiencing a sound bathe and it was very different and beautiful experience. I was very nervous trying the inversion class, but I wanted to go outside my comfort zone and try something different. The class was a lot of fun and the way they slowly approached inversions really helped me feel safe and comfortable trying it. We used an inversion trainer and it was honestly a lot of fun. They have classes multiple times a day - daily and have an option of joining online. Even online, the instructors will give each yogi attention, encouragement and feedback. The classes are 75 min long, but the time goes by so fast. Classes are easy to join via using their app and they have great membership options. They are also very mindful of COVID regulations and everyone who attends must be vaccinated. I am so glad my husband googled a yoga studio near us and found this amazing place for me. After trialing it for 15 days, I signed up for a 6 month commitment without any hesitation. The most important aspect I respect about coming here is the emphasis of mind, body and breath. I am very grateful for this yoga studio and the instructors.

Yogasukham has been a true blessing…read more I was searching for a studio that focused on mindful breathing and proper technique--not just poses--and this place has deeply enriched my practice. Satya, Varsha, and all the teachers create such a warm, intentional space.

During postpartum, I developed chronic migraines and medically there was no solution to it. I was…read moretaking heavy pain killers everyday and thats when I resorted to finding a solution through natural ways.  I reached out to Priya for yoga classes and it's been the best decision that I have ever made. In about a little over a month's time, not only have the headaches lessened by 80% but I feel much stronger than before. I have taken yoga classes with different teachers many times before however I have never experienced yoga classes like the one that Priya takes. She is an incredible teacher and I really look forward to her classes.  Priya is very authentic, trusting and extremely pure at heart and this shows in how she cares for her students overall health & wellness.  She has a deep understanding of anatomy and explains each yoga pose which has allowed me to understand my body better. She challenges me in a gentle way to do better each day with the result that I have gained lot of confidence in my practice.  Each session is fun & is a blend of relaxation techniques, pranayama, yoga, assisted stretches and strength exercises.  What I really like about her overall program is that she focuses on the overall health of her students - For example in my case, apart from the focus of healing migraines, she introduced postpartum yoga exercises for helping me recover faster, assisted stretches( because she is so attentive to how her students do the yoga poses that she is able to make out which body part muscle need more flexibility), customized deep breathing & meditation techniques. I feel stronger, more flexible and much calmer than before! Thankyou Priya for making such a huge difference in my life - you have instilled the importance of yoga life long in me!!
