So, for those who are yoga newbies, but not workout newbies - this is an entirely different type of…read moreworkout - and instead of feeling exhausted you feel a refreshing euphoria. It's week 2 of my 2-week student special: $20 gets you unlimited yoga for 14 days - you could come 5 times a day every day if you wanted (you'd be INSANE). Staff is courteous and super professional, the people who come are nice and not judgmental when you need a one minute breathing break :-)

Popped in during my recent visit to the area to sample what had become of the merger between Yoga…read moreGallery and Inspire Yoga. The space is beautifully calm, and spacious enough to accomodate a big group. The high, exposed ceilings means tall yogis will have no barriers, and the cork floors are very comfortable and warm to walk on barefoot (of course, the day outside wasn't a mid-November one, either.) All the accessory props you'd need were there, even a mat (free!) if you just want to give it a one-time trial. The class was taught by Patricia, who is one of the founding owners. She was very knowledgeable, offered hands-on assists to her students, paced her classes well, and was an encouraging instructor. I love how the yoga practice room sees no shod feet due to how it's arranged with the entry downstairs. However, this confused me for a brief moment when trying to enter: the entrance is actually around the back of the building near the farmer's market shelter, not at the storefront on Santa Fe Dr. Word has it that Saturdays require a bit of creativity in parking because of the market, too.

Karma Tribe Yoga is an amazing yoga studio. Lauren owns the studio and she's an amazing instructor…read more I love taking all of her classes. She makes you feel so comfortable and challenges me just enough physically and mentally. She's so down to earth and funny. The studio has a variety of classes for beginners and advanced yogis. There are multiple events, such as hiking and yoga or headstand clinics. They even held a yoga teacher training program this year. The donation based yoga really builds a sense of community for this studio. I want to keep this place a secret, but this place really deserves 5 stars and to thrive!

This is a great studio. I'm visiting from San Francisco/Oakland and needed a place to practice. I…read morechose here only because of the proximity, however I was completely impressed. I can honestly say it was one of the better yoga experiences I've had in my year of practicing weekly. The studio itself is perfectly designed. Calming and simple. Some nice murals and a wonderful water sculpture. The lights were left low, which is my preference. The class itself was a standard vinyasa flow. The teacher (I forgot her name, but she is an owner) definitely knew what she was doing and led the class confidently but with a nice sense of humor. The set was challenging in just the right way. For the poses I knew were be beyond my current practice, we were offered alternatives. My favorite aspect of the studio is that they keep the spiritual aspect of the practice in place (but not overbearingly so). You are reminded to stay present. You close with OM. I have a hard time with teachers who treat this like its solely an aerobics class. This is not the case here. Planning on going back any time I'm in KC.

Check the website before you go: http://www.innerspaceyogakc.com/ ** They have a generous new-student two-week special. I tried the special when I was in the Hyde Park area this summer and went to as many classes as I could fit in. I go back now when I am in the area or when I have out-of-town yoga-loving friends who I want to impress. I took a friend who is a New York yoga teacher, and she was totally won over. Same reaction from several other friends I have brought with me to a class at ISY. The owner's artistic abilities shine in this place. I remember loving the GREEN that is in the studio with beautiful plants in the entrance area. Laura's classes were OUTSTANDING. She courageously started the studio and lends her love of the practice to everyone who walks in the door. She has created an environment, a space to be completely relaxed and go deep into the practice (if that's where you are) or dip your toe into what yoga is all about. She is so thoughtful and kind with her instruction and demeanor. All the teachers were welcoming. I learned something new or heard an instruction in a new way and would return again to any of their classes. I would highly recommend Kelly. Her brilliance in the art of yoga is only matched by her caring instruction and dedication to her students. If you can make her classes here or see her name on a line-up at another studio or yoga event- you want to do yourself a favor and GO! So, no, I'm not related to anyone involved, and yes, I clearly recommend this place. To anyone. Newbie on up. Oh, and come 5-10 minutes early if you can. It's really good for you to get your moneys worth and ease in. **I did not add specifics on time or schedule or prices, as that is really clear on their website and postcards, and can change with time. I hope this review helped you!

I'm new to yoga in general and have been trying a lot of new places…read more I tried a regular studio and was like ehhh. Found a Groupon for hot yoga - read about the benefits and decided let's do this!!! I tried a few of the classes on the unlimited month. The sumits 60 was not the first class I should of been trying - wish I could eventually build up to that level though. The restore and relax classes are nice when you just want to relax and stretch and enjoy the heat. My favorite class is with Joni on Wednesday mornings - the slow and flow class. It's just slow enough to keep up for me but not too fast and I love her enthusiasm and loooove the hot yoga aspect. Try it out.

They have a very diverse range of classes, included a heated Pi-Yo class that is SUPER challenging and includes a lot of cardio. Their sumit flows are great and so are their late night stretching classes. The teachers are lovely and do a great job of making the classes challenging and also relaxing. It is definitely a non-judgmental space as well! There is a great Groupon available right now that I recommend and their community classes are $9 which is pretty accessible.

(Now I've had a second child and I need to go see them again!!) Fast results, soothing atmosphere, easy to park. I wish it was a little less expensive, but that is my only complaint. The mat classes are excellent as well! Check the schedule on their site.

Attended a yoga class at 0830 am on a Snow Sunday Morning today and had a great time and workout!…read moreThe class was a Community Yelp event spearheaded by Kieu, Yelp KC Community Coordinator. I've done yoga before and actually had a membership at a yoga studio in LA in the past, but after not doing it for 2 years, I was a little apprehensive to get back into it. Luckily, the instructor today was very chill and gave a class fitting to beginners and more geared for a relaxing time than an intense strength/endurance test. She was very clear with the instructions and with only 9 attendees there, she was able monitor us and made comments/tips to help us get the best out of the class. She was very personable, nice and had lovely stories to share. It was a very personalized class as opposed to feeling like she made it the same for every class. All the mats, blocks, straps, blankets, and pillow were available to use for class. Perfect for those who don't have all the equipment! Facility was clean and the bathroom was clean. The Yelp KC Community Coordinator, Kieu, provided healthy snacks and drinks after the class. Thanks for making this event possible! It was a donation yoga class, but I like how the instructor didn't hound us on giving a tip or donation. She just made it an option if we could, which was nice. I did end up tipping and luckily she took credit cards!

I am not very flexible or balanced but it didn't matter! We had props to help and make us feel comfortable. Our class was very relaxed, not super full and relaxing. Our instructor chose to do a more beginner level / relaxed class since some of us hadn't done yoga before. As usual, the instructor was in the front of the class but she still made her way around the room. If one of us was doing a position incorrectly or needed a little guidance, she was gentle in handling​ and helping us. I didn't feel silly if I fell over or had her come help me. They had mats, blocks, straps and blankets available​. Which, thank goodness, because I don't own any of these! After the class, our coordinator had snacks and drinks set up for after the class. I'm very glad the class wasn't canceled due to the scary weather and I will for sure be looking into taking up some classes here!
