I tried Hot Yoga Tyson's and unfortunately, the vibe just wasn't there for me…read more Before class even started, the instructor asked if I had done hot yoga before. I shared that I've practiced hot yoga many times at CorePower Yoga, but he immediately shut that down by saying they're "not the same." After actually taking the class, I don't agree, between the temperature, humidity, and sequence of movements, it felt very similar. The dismissive response rubbed me the wrong way and honestly made me less excited going into what was supposed to be my first 60-minute class with him. The studio itself also felt pretty old and dingy. It doesn't have the modern, clean, welcoming feel that I'm used to at CorePower. Overall, it seemed to cater more toward an older crowd and a very traditional, no-frills hot yoga style. Personally, I missed the motivating and encouraging energy from instructors, as well as the music and upbeat atmosphere that make classes feel more engaging for me. This studio might work well for people who prefer a very classic, straightforward hot yoga experience, but it just wasn't the right fit for me.

I've been coming here for over a month now, and I've consistently felt welcomed and encouraged by every instructor. I will note that each instructor has their own teaching style and slight variations in how they run their classes, but they all clearly have your best interests in mind. The classes are HOT, hotter than a lot of other studios in the area. If you're not looking for a challenge, this might not be the place for you. If I had to recommend one class, I'd recommend trying out the Sunday class with Maria. She's awesome, and the class always forces me to get up on a Sunday morning. The studio is very clean and well maintained. The women's locker room has plenty of space and showers, which come in handy after sweating it out in class. Be sure to bring your own mat, a full sized towel, and plenty of water. If you forget anything, they usually have some available.

Neighborhood gem…read more Popped in for a few classes with Jose and Jessica...their instruction is subtle and you don't feel like you're getting yelled at while practicing your peace. Space is intimate and hidden in a shopping center. Bought a class pack and noticed they are expanding their services by adding a hot hiit class and a hot Pilates too. Yay! Jessica also makes fresh juice! Can't wait to put an order in soon. *the only reservation I have is for the studio members. BE QUIET IN THE HOT ROOM BEFORE CLASS. For real. You don't know what someone is going thru, processing and why they are there trying to meditate in silence. Posting a "Keep conversations out of the hot room is respectful to all yogi's" should be posted. But seriously y'all, no one needs to hear about weekend plans, where you are for lunch, etc. it's rude and defeats the purpose of someone coming in early to be within self.

I took an intermediate class and felt appropriately challenged and went through many new poses which I enjoyed. My instructor was awesome, she gave us different modifications for difficult poses and allowed us time to practice balance postures on our own. Edge Yoga is a small no frills studio with great classes which was exactly what I was looking for in a yoga studio.

Come to Edge. I took a yoga course in college and loved it, but something like ten years passed…read morebefore I picked up my practice again, and that started with a walk-in at Edge Yoga. Last summer I moved to NYC. Before that time I spent almost six years in Arlington studying with Mark and his team for 500-1000 total hours. He is a very experienced teacher, and the most studied and wise yoga expert I have met so far on the East Coast, bar none. Be advised that Mark does not teach pranayama (breath work) or meditation in his classroom, but this isn't because he would dismiss their benefits. When you practice with Mark, you're there to work, to build endurance, and become (I can't think of a better way to say it) incredibly super strong. In addition to having some years of active vinyasa practice under your belt, I recommend that you start to build a pranayama and meditation practice before coming to his classes, so that when you do come to explore the physical practice, you can do so with more focus, and someday get into postures you might only be able to dream of today. Mark is an all-around fitness guru; he gives great assists and adjustments in yoga, and is a savant when it comes to observing the body and training its movement. His cues are verbally advanced, but over time you'll realize that they contain all of the practically useful knowledge you need to cultivate a really badass practice. Rebecca is funny, brilliant and absolutely amazing with beginners. You'll love her style and her presence. I know I did. Nikki's classes were always my favorites. She does teach pranayama, and so beautifully. And every single week she brings a new sequence. Just an incredibly bright, creative and supportive teacher, and an expert on transitions and inversions. All of the staff bring something great to Edge. I totally recommend it to travelers in NoVa who have an active practice and are looking for great weekend morning offerings. To any locals who haven't tried it, get there!

The combination of the heat and the targeted spine strengthening series has made a huge difference in alleviating pain and building back strength. I've attended three bikram studios in the DMV area and Reston Yoga is my favorite. The instructors mentioned in previous negative reviews do not teach here anymore. The studio is cheery and clean and the staff, instructors, and students are very friendly. Particular shoutout to Yun and Julie for their calm but motivating teaching style and for being so welcoming when I brought my partner to try a class! Tip for first class - attend an Original class (and hydrate a lot!) Request - Please add more weekday morning options (60 min or a 6-7:30). I loved the 7am pop-up class last Friday!

I love their staff and how hard they push their students to grow and dig a little deeper while still focusing on proper form. I love the wide variety of classes they offer and the fact that they have the occasional special and even offer some free classes on the plaza. I love that they hold community events and seem to genuinely care about their students. To be honest, I haven't ever found such a feeling of community at any of the other Pilates or Yoga studios I have been to. Fairfax is very lucky to have such a wonderful studio and I am very glad I stuck it out through that first barre class. Since then, I have had so much fun going through the intro equipment classes, getting to know different teachers, fine tuning movements, and getting pointers on how to take my practice to the next level. I have also thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the Dog Days of Summer package they offered in August and taking unlimited barre classes. A+

I have been taking the Wednesday class off and on as my schedule allows for a few years now. The community that Beth has created is a big part of it for me! Theoretically, I could meditate or do a guided meditation on my own but it is not the same. Not only does the community connection before and after the class enhance the experience but Beth asks us to set intentions before class and magically works them all in to the guided meditation. The recordings of the class are just an added bonus for weeks that just feel too long between classed! Beth is a very gifted teacher and I am so grateful that her gifts continue to impact my life in the virtual setting! Oh and, just like most things in life, I get way more out of the practice when I do it regularly so this is a good reminder for me to sign up for class this week! :)
