Kelly is AMAZING! I took my first class with Kelly on Friday for the Meditative Vinyasa class and it was sooo healing. Since it was a small class, she was able to focus on each individual one of us. She's able to help us stretch a little more than we could've by ourselves. I left so much calmer and in less tension. I will be back regularly for this class! Pros: - small class - lots of services offered - Kelly's healing energy is unmatched - parking in front (does get packed, but there's parking in the back alleyway) read more

Loves this yin yoga studio! The space was super comforting, and the instructor is so attentive. Got my heart rate up and sweated. This was exactly the stretch I needed. If you're reading this, you should come check out this yoga studio :) She's just ahhh-mahzing. read more

Very big nice house and plants all over the place creating a comfortable environment for yoga

A couple of massages with Kelly gave me relief from a scoliosis related headache that physical therapy, meditation, prior massages, myofascial release and saunas hadn't ever alleviated. She has a great knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. She worked intensively on specific constricted muscles as well as on areas of the side body that seemed key to the resultant relief. It was a small miracle to walk out the door of her studio without a pain I've lived with for around 15 years. It hasn't returned, two weeks out! Kelly's a gem of a yoga teacher as well. She guides at the perfect pace and maps each class to feel cohesive but fresh. read more

Kelly is amazing both for yoga training and for massages! Highly recommend her and, true to her tag line, she definitely helps me be happier, healthier and walk through the world with ease. Kelly's tag line: "May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you walk through the world with ease." read more

Bliss! Treat yourself right with regular massage, your body will thank you. The therapist, Kelly, has many years of massage experience and is in tune with your body, while listening to your reports of trouble spots. I have went to plenty of massage therapists and she is one of the best. In addition to massage therapy, the studio offers yoga sessions, a friend of mine says it's great. The studio is in a large historical building right off the freeway with convenient parking, plus it's close to public transportation. If you care about supporting small business instead of the large and impersonal massage and crowded yoga studios, you will appreciate her offerings. Go here, it's woth every penny. read more

Kelly is a highly skilled, exceptionally knowledgeable and effective massage therapist. She is a healer and set the standard for excellence. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in a truly therapeutic treatment. read more

She took her time with me and answered all my questions thoroughly. without a doubt she's full of experience and great at what she does. I will definitely be going back for more yoga sessions and massages read more

Review is only for the hot yoga classes. Disclaimer: I hate working out. Yes, yes, I know exercise is good for you and I'm sure that rush of endorphins makes you look all hot and glowy, but to quote the almighty Ann Perkins of Parks and Recreation, God, at what cost? The cost of sitting on the couch and eating fries dunked in cookie dough ice cream. (Sidebar: someone once told me that her drunk food splurge was carrot juice. I like carrot juice as much as the next rabbit-person but my face uncontrollably seized up into a WTF expression.) But I don't want to be all floppy and soggy in my bits when I hit the big 8-0, so I turned to what I thought would be the least strenuous "sport" of all, yoga. I mean, it's only synchronized stretching, duh. Let me tell you, Bikram yoga kicks my butt three times to Sunday. The hot yoga classes here are insane: orthodox Bikram consists of a flow of 26 poses, but depending on the instructor and the class, they throw in crunches, planks, and standing half-moon splits. Yeah, it's where you balance on one foot and one hand, with the other foot and hand sticking up in the air. It's super sexy unless you're hopping and flailing around like me. The room is heated to a nice toasty 90 degrees and if you're not slipping in a puddle of sweat by the time you're in your tenth downward dog, you're doing something wrong or I seriously envy how much you save on deodorant. Teachers here are very laid-back and caring. They'll ask who's new to yoga at the beginning of the class, so don't be shy and definitely don't try to pretend you're all experienced when you're not. The crow pose separates the men from the boys, the chaff from the wheat, the former gymnasts from the couch potatoes. They will also give modifications which I truly appreciate when my hamstrings are killing me and I don't want to do king pigeon, thanks. Sometimes the music selection is a bit ... odd. Like playing 1 Direction's What makes you beautiful. Great song, but I want to hear some Tibetan monks chanting when I'm trying to convince my arms to do one more chaturanga. Flow into Warrior 2. (*You're insecure, don't know what for*) Remember your ujjayi breathing. (*Everyone else in the room can see it*) Knit your ribs back. (*NAH NAH NAH NAH NAHNAHNAHNAH*) The yoga room is small and windowless, but that just means you'll get to know your neighbors very well when you can't figure out whose sweat droplet just landed on your back and is now rolling verrrrry slowly down your arm. Bring your own yoga mat and towel, because they only keep a few spares. read more

Thank you Yelp for this great find! I was staying at an Inn just a few blocks away and was happy to find a hot yoga studio in walking distance. Tucked upstairs on Main St. in the Downtown Mall area is this boutique yoga studio. I signed up online for a drop in 60min hot flow class. This is definitely a boutique studio so don't worry if the doors are locked someone will be there to let you in I promise. I was greeted by Kelly the founder of Hydra Yoga Spa she walked me up to the studio and was very sweet. This is a very small studio but has a relaxing feel to it and a lot of character. I got spoiled with only one other student in the 9am class we enjoyed an almost private class with hands on instruction. Whether you are a beginner or advanced yogi you will feel comfortable at this studio. I loved how challenging Kelly made the workout and really enjoyed a few new positions I've never done before. Kelly is also a massage therapist and she spoiled me at the end of my practice with a little massage. If I lived in Charlottesville no doubt I'd be here everyday. I can tell that Kelly is really passionate about her yoga and massage and she makes you feel really comfortable. If you are looking for that local spot to really enhance your practice and release your mind then come check Hydra Yoga Spa out, you won't be disappointed. Take advantage of the $5 off Yelp check in offer as well for drop ins and $65 for $80 deal on Yelp! read more

Kelly is Amazing. She really understands how my body works and what to do to help me run better. I had trouble running consistently before she started working on me. Since then, my running has consistently improved, in quality, quantity, and speed. I could not recommend her highly enough. read more

Kelly is amazing! I have some serious hip pain from working at a desk all day, and I've been in search of relief of the pain and stiffness. With absolutely no experience in yoga I was nervous but Kelly made me feel right at home. I'm three weeks in about to attend my fourth week, and I can honestly say the pain is gone. With Kelly's experience and background in physical therapy & massage she was able to create a personalized grouping of yoga stretches and positions that targeted my problem areas. The studio is small but clean, she plays peaceful music. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Kelly is amazing! She has literally healed me from the hip pain that has been plaguing me for over two years.

Kelly is IT. The yoga community and fitness scene here is sooooo blessed to have this yogi leading classes here. Her massages are beyond amazing; with training from Thai massage to deep tissue to etc., Kelly makes every appointment worth every second. I went in for shoulder pain and she helped me manage the pain levels as well as give me simple exercises and tips as to how I can continue to strengthen my shoulder. She's THE go-to therapist for our sports scene here! read more

Nothing like a bad massage while you are traveling to make you realize how good you have it at home. Kelly is amazing. If you want a massage where you will feel the after effects for a few days then Kelly is your girl. I carry all my stress in my mid-back, right next to my spine. It's a weird spot and hard for a masseuse to attack. I tried at least a half dozen before Kelly. Kelly was able to get in there and knew that my hips connected to that area of my back. I left her feeling true relief. If my budget allowed, I would make this as regular as possible. Kelly is really fantastic. read more

Kelly is amazing, the studio is peaceful, relaxing and clean. The experience with Kelly has been life changing. She has done a world of good not only for my body, but also my mind. She always finds the spots that need the most work and takes care of them. Her range of knowledge has me experiencing something new with each visit. I hope to remain within her care. read more

Kelly and her team at Hydra Hot Yoga are the best! I have taken several types of classes here with different teachers for over two years now, and each class has taught me something new about my body. The sequence of poses in each class are well thought out, and everyone comes away feeling better physically and mentally. I highly recommend trying out one of the many classes that are offered each week, you will be glad you did! Also, do yourself a favor and book a massage with Kelly soon! She offers several types, and truthfully, the Thai massage was the greatest in my opinion. Check out the website and see everything that the spa offers! read more

One on one star treatment for yoga classes. That, but my main review is for massage. I see my masseuse there once only every 6 months. I have crippling lower back pain, and one visit to her is enough to absolutely cure me, miraculously, for half a year. It's pure magic, not to mention a calming voice and an empathetic ear to go along with talented hands. Absolutely couldn't recommend this business more- they work with you on prices, their facility is aesthetically pleasing and private, and the staff really know what they're doing. Bravo. read more

Kelly's Watsu and massage are phenomenal. I've received Watsu from a number of practitioners over the years, and with Kelly the experience is as amazing as with international instructors. With both aquatic and land work, anyone can go through the motions. Kelly helps me get out of my racing mind and into the ongoing moment of now. Her work is exactly what bodywork should be - positively transcendental! read more

I went to get a Thai Massage from Kelly, who is the owner, and it was the best thing I've ever done. It was very needed, finals stress, etc. She is the sweetest person, and it was an awesome experience. I have had some pretty serious health/orthopedic problems for a while, and I guess I didn't realize how much better i could feel. I will definitely be returning. read more

I have been to a hot yoga studio before and I have to say this one is quite different (in a good way) than my prior experience. Kelly (the owner) is so sweet and really makes the atmosphere calm and relaxing and makes you feel invited in to this space. My previous experience at a yoga studio was just okay, I enjoyed going but never felt really welcomed. I felt like just a name on a list but at Hydra Yoga Spa, they really try to get to know you as a person, address you by your name and to me that means a lot. I also really loved after class on some days they offered snacks, tea and even beer tastings. They do everything to make you feel like you are part of an elite yoga group and are always asking for suggestions for class. Kelly and her team do a great job teaching yoga and making it fun for the students! I also got a great deal on Yelp that I used at the studio! Definitely worth it! Check it out! read more

Best massage ever! Intense, deep tissue; thai massage. Great for athletes or for those needing therapeutic massage. This is my regular treat to myself to boost my immune system and de-stress. Kelly is awesome! read more

Great yoga studio! Really love the atmosphere! My girlfriend and I purchased a Yelp deal and signed up for 1 month unlimited. Kelly is a great instructor! She really makes you feel welcome in her studio. I appreciate the time she takes to customize class to what our needs are. She makes it a point to get to know everyone that comes in her class which I feel is really important and made us want to come back. You really build bonds with these people and get to know them! I also really enjoy my mini massage she gives after class. read more

I love Kelly's yoga studio! The best yoga in town and I'm so lucky I found it. The studio is so charming and cozy. The classes are small, which helps a lot. Kelly does yoga with us instead of just providing instructions, so we can see the right way of doing yoga poses. Kelly is such a warm, kind, and positive person. Her yoga classes are challenging, fun, and relaxing. My yoga practice has improved so much during the time I have been going to Kelly's studio. She treats her clients as they are her dear friends and family. There is soft music in the studio, relaxing lights, and even essential oils at the end of each class. Kelly even gives mini massages after/during some yoga classes, which are awesome! I feel rejuvenated and relaxed after each class. The best yoga experiences I ever had! read more

I absolutely lalalove Kelly's Thai massages. She is a miracle worker. I treat myself after finals and during midterms. The pricing is fair, and worth every penny. It's like getting your car detailed but for your body. It detoxes, soothes and resets everything in your body. I highly recommend her massages. read more
