Came here for a class pass try out - and I'm glad I did! I thought the class and the instructor (I believe Jyoti) were both great - it seemed appropriate for most skill levels; I'm pretty out of shape and out of my yoga practice, but I could adapt and keep up, and suggestions for modifications in either direction (easier or more challenging) were given. I felt calmer and more flexible after! I could also tell there's a real sense of community there - the other members knew each other and knew Jyoti well. read more

They are non-responsive when you email with questions about your account and appropriate classes and pre-requisites. They are unwelcoming if you come by to talk to them before or after a class. They refused to refund my money . One year ago and three years ago similar complaints were mentioned in reviews. read more

Good Vibes Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This studio is truly special. I've been a member for a little under two years and it's become a really important part of my self care and healing journey. It's great for restorative and healing yoga practices. The other classes (sculpt, Pilates) are also great. They're beginner friendly but still a great workout- I'm easily intimidated by workout classes and I was able to jump right in with no issues. Jiyoti is a kind, charismatic, and supportive instructor who makes everyone feel comfortable. She even does fun themes every now and then like glow in the dark yoga with black lights and glow sticks or candlelight yoga in the winter to keep it cozy. The studio is always spotlessly clean and the location is very accessible with plenty of open lot free parking. I really don't think there is another studio like this, especially in the DC area. read more

Decide for yourself: I came to Good Vibes to reprioritize my health after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which I disclosed to Jyoti in our first class. I had a good experience with Good Vibes during my one-month trial membership, so I signed up for a full membership. Just before my first full membership class (and my very first Pilates class), I made a joke that I shouldn't be in front of the camera since I didn't know what I was doing yet. Jyoti then asked me (in front of the class) if I had ADHD and if I took any medication. I told her (and the class, I guess) that I take medication for anxiety. After class, she pulled me aside and expressed a (genuine, I think) concern that I had ADHD. I expressed openness to the possibility and I agreed to discuss with my therapist. The next morning, she sent me the attached email. As you can see, she says I need to get assessed for ADHD asap and take medication if I want to stay in group classes. It wouldn't surprise me if my energy was out of balance--I was (and still am) processing my diagnosis. Sometimes I feel depressed. Her comment that sometimes I seemed "stoned" was especially hurtful, as fatigue is one of my symptoms. Her message left me feeling pressured, almost threatened, and ashamed about how I was showing up in the world at that point in my recovery. I wish she had shared her concerns about my participation in group classes in the month before I signed up for a full membership. So I emailed her back and asked for a refund. She didn't answer. So I disputed the charge with my credit card company, something I have never done before. Several weeks later I emailed her again and she informed me that my membership would not renew but that I still had classes available to me for that month. So, no refund. If after telling me that I couldn't stay in group classes long-term Jyoti had agreed to refund my membership I wouldn't have left this review. Almost two months later, my bank has given me a refund. If I'm mistaken and Jyoti did agree with my bank to refund me, I would be happy to amend this review. And as it turns out, I don't have ADHD. *Update: Jyoti requested that my prior screenshots of her email be removed for privacy reasons. I have re-uploaded them without the final paragraph as I believe that resolves the issue.* read more

Update: I did the first review in the "before times". During the pandemic Good Vibes has been a grounding force. Joyti, the owner, has evolved the Covid precautions. In studio, vaccines and boosters are required and kept students and teachers safe. She also brilliantly allows all classes to be joined via zoom. If you can't join in real-time she sends on-demand recordings so you can join as convenient for you. Check out Good Vibes! If there were a higher star rating, I would give it! I love Good Vibes Yoga! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It is truly an inclusive environment to practice!! There is no judgement and no mirrors so you focus on your mindfulness and mat. All instructors I have had are experienced and provide good instruction. Jyoti, the owner is fabulous and works every day to make the studio even better with small thoughtful ideas for students. I have been going to classes for the last 16 months have noticed a change in both my mindfulness practice but my strength and flexibility. Highly recommend this studio. read more

I've been practicing yoga at Good Vibes Yoga for nearly four years. I've always enjoyed taking yoga classes, but my practice has deepened and improved significantly since starting with Good Vibes. Through the pandemic, the online classes helped me feel grounded and calm, and I mastered many new poses and gained new strength. Now that classes are in-person again, I love the community and dynamic vibe that Jyoti has built at the studio. She is a knowledgeable, compassionate, fun teacher and offers a broad range of practices and styles from vinyasa to yin to Pilates. I also really appreciate that she emphasizes the spiritual aspects of yoga and meditation and shares her insights about astrology! I highly recommend this studio. read more

Good Vibes Yoga is my happy place & I am sure it will be yours too! From the moment you walk into the building and up the stairs you can sense (and smell / truly Jyoti should bottle a signature sent) the serenity and positive energy this studio emits. Jyoti is as silly and knowledgeable as she is passionate & inspiring. Whether it's Pilates, Moon Flow or Chakra Reset - you won't be disappointed. Good Vibes Yoga is a community for all and a place to grow and deepen your practice. read more

Update: This studio is still my jam. With virtual and in-person classes, it's so easy to join a class. There's lots of perks for members (like discounts on workshops). Jyoti always keeps classes fresh and interesting. read more

Love this place! Have been attending classes here for more than 3 years now. The owner is wonderful and quickly pivoted when COVID started to offering live classes on line, and then classes on demand. While I was happy to get back to the studio, I greatly appreciate being able to join online or do on-demand when I need to. read more

This is a lovely, intimate yoga studio. Jyoti (the owner) is patient, kind, super knowledgeable, and has the most calming and positive energy. She's a fantastic teacher and has built a wonderful community. The studio feels like home. Don't miss out on practicing yoga, meditation, or Pilates here at this oasis in Alexandria. read more

In my 45 years on this Earth, I had taken exactly ONE yoga class prior to Good Vibes. Why? Probably because I am a big ol' stiff who thought yoga either wasn't for him or that I couldn't do it or a combination of both. Well, after 3+ years of both in-person and virtual (thanks pandemic!) classes I'm here to tell you that Jyoti and Good Vibes changed all that. I love the community she has created, and I love having the support and space to strengthen both mind and body. Sure, I still can't quite touch my toes, and my yogi squat is more "catcher behind home plate", but that doesn't matter. I am encouraged to practice in a way that allows me to grow and advance at my own pace. I love Good Vibes. 10/10 no notes read more

I came to the Studio this morning to ask about yoga sessions and there's a session already I waited until the class finished because I didn't want to interrupt them once they finished ,the owner/trainer opened the door and said Hi she asked me if I have a question I said yes and asked her about the time and price she said you will find everything in the website and gave me their business card. I felt so unwelcome. I came all the way to her studio and she doesn't even asked me enter it or answer my questions. I'm very disappointed and will never go back again.. read more

Five stars isn't enough for Good Vibes Yoga! I've been going to Good Vibes for many years. It offers well-trained teachers, an inviting, cozy studio, and a welcoming community. The owner and primary teacher, Jyoti, goes the extra mile to have a safe and engaging practice both in-studio and on-line. I highly recommend Good Vibes if you are looking for a small studio with great teachers and good vibes. It is a treasure for Alexandria! read more

I've been coming here for a little over a month and I love this studio! It's small and clean, which is a nice change of pace from some of the more commercialized, high intensity style yoga spots. A variety of classes are offered, and the teachers are all super nice and accommodating. I originally came for Pilates, but I've found myself exploring and enjoying all of the classes. read more

Fantastic little yoga studio. I have been twice and each time I left feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. I haven't been in a few weeks and I feel a bit hectic and frazzled, so I know I need to go back and find a way to wind down from the work week. It is in an odd location, but don't let that stop you from trying out a class. read more

Attended the beginners class: I am completely new to yoga--in fact, this was my first ever class. I was incredibly impressed by the instructor's knowledge of yoga and the techniques to perfect it. She was delightful to listen to and patient with the class of beginners as we worked through the sun salutation sequence of moves. I was also grateful that the instructor was very cautious about safety in the performance of our yoga moves and with COVID precautions. I definitely recommend this studio, especially this basic yoga class for beginners. read more

Great little yoga studio! I'm a newbie to yoga and am still exploring my options (i.e., if I want to try tai chi or other types of exercise and relaxing meditation). I highly recommend and will likely be back as a repeat student. Parking is also very plentiful! read more

This yoga studio is my happy place. I hadn't done yoga in years and found it very easy to go at my own pace. Good Vibes offers a lot of options for classes and many that are friendly to those who have to work a bit late. The pricing options are extremely reasonable, parking is a breeze, the studio itself is very clean and welcoming and the website is so easy to use to schedule classes. My husband, who was a beginner, has quickly become a fan at Good Vibes. Jyoti, the founder, is dedicated to making sure everyone's experience is positive, healthy, injury-free and productive. **Tips for those who join: 1) arrive 10 minutes early so you can get settled 2) take your shoes off before you reach the wood floor --there are great little cubbies for your shoes, etc. 3) if you are doing a more rigorous class, bring a towel---you will work up a sweat! read more

This has quickly become my favorite yoga studio. The studio is small but cozy and they offer a wide variety of classes. Parking is plentiful and free!

She has created such a wonderful community of yogis at all levels. read more

I am not sure where to start about how amazing this yoga studio is! I found Good Vibes on a whim and decided to give it a try. Little did I know that I would be in the midst of the most loving, caring and supportive studio owner, Jyoti! She has created a welcoming studio that welcomes anywhere from first time yogis to the most experienced! The small class sizes allow for a more one on one feel. The variety of classes and workshops offered allow for a balanced yoga experience. All of the teachers at this studio do a great job of explaining each of the moves and how they can translate in healing our everyday lives. There aren't enough stars for how much I love this place...give it a try, you won't be sorry! read more

Good Vibes Yoga is the hidden gem of yoga in Alexandria. You couldn't ask for a better atmosphere and a kinder instructor. I've taken many of Jyoti's classes and keep coming back for more.

I've been looking for a good instructor who has technical knowledge and empathy for older participants. Jyoti is gentle and her kind spirit comes through the moment you walk in the door. The studio is very small but comfortable enough. Book ahead early. read more

I have been thinking about joining a yoga studio for the longest time. I had two criterias, close to home and small classes. Not only met Good Vibes Yoga those criterias but the teachers are wonderful and every time I go i feel so relaxed and at peace. Price value is wonderful and no parking problems. I highly recommend Good Vibes Yoga and I will be back soon. read more

Good Vibes is the place I come to re-center and de-stress after work or prepare for the week with a clear mind. I love Good Vibes because I can build personal relationships with my teachers and feel a really strong sense of community. I also love that the class sizes are small, so you get really personalized attention. Each class is small enough that the teachers can ask you what you want or need and really cater to that (like totally tailor an entire class to EXACTLY what you want. Today Jyoti threw together a sun flow, yin, restorative, nidra mix just for me - AMAZING!). PLEASE practice here... all of the teachers are wonderful and Jyoti's heart and soul shine through in this studio in such a unique and positive way. All of the workshops I have attended have also been really informative and wonderful. Jyoti sincerely and personally cares about everyone who walks through the door, and my experience in this studio has been so relaxing and spiritual that I will often have dreams about the sounds and smells I experience while I'm there. read more
