After an hour of cleaning up the creek, Kate took us through a beautiful practice. It was a gorgeous day and so peaceful on the water. Really love when my worlds collide and I can marry a few of my favorite things together: SUP, yoga, nature, my city.

We had such a great adventure doing Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga yesterday! I had seen where this…read morecompany hosts alot of events at Wicked Barley where they launch and then Wicked Barley gives you a complimentary beer afterwards. Sweet! Yes..Yes you can bribe me with beer. Lol. We decided however to contact them and we hosted our own private party with a group of friends. Classes are full with a capacity of 11 people. Alot of friends were reluctant to come because they thought for sure they would fall off but we did way better than expected. Ive done maybe 3 yoga classes my whole life and that was about 5 yrs ago so we didnt know any moves and I had never been on a paddle board before so I went into this expecting a few falls however it was easier than I thought. I did not fall! #winner Before the event there is a short tutorial 101 to watch that goes over paddling and manuevering the board that was very helpful. When I first hit the water I was really nervous that the river was going to sweep me away but that feeling quickly left me as I became a pro on the water. We paddled upstream a little to this nice "elbow" area where there were egrets and cranes and osprey just hanging out enjoying the day. We hooked all our paddleboards to an anchored rope so that we didnt float away while doing our Yoga. Our Instructor, Kate, did an amazing job at teaching us newbies how to do some beginner yoga and guided meditation. It was really relaxing to be on the water and hearing the birds and feeling the wind. We even had a curious Manatee pop up and say hello. Now I know what your thinking. GATORS! That was my fear as well but Kate explained they are more scared of us than we are of them and they didnt like human activity and she has never encountered a gator. So I put my faith in her and low and behold I didnt get eaten! #2ndwin. These events are good for men and women and kids I say 13 and up would be a good starting age and Kate takes lots of pictures so you have proof that you came, you saw and you conquered and hey if you fall, you just land in the water. No harm done. I wont lie. I did want to kidnap my board and explore the rest of that area going rogue but I am going to save that for when I get my own board which thanks to Kate and this great event, I will be purchasing one. Cant wait to go again!

The instructor Cassie was phenomenal and this was my second class with her, she truly is the best. Even though I signed up last minute through ClassPass, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. I took the Yoga + HIIT class and can't recommend it enough. It was the perfect balance of strength and flow. I also love that the studio hosts community events. And one of my favorite little details is that they offer lavender scented cold towels which was such a thoughtful and refreshing touch. I can't wait to come back for my next class!

The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel so comfortable trying something out of your comfort zone. You leave the class knowing a few beginner moves and combinations. And MAN! what an Ab workout. I highly recommend checking out their numerous classes and events. It's a great way to get cardio in and pick up some dance moves.

Anybody can shake their money maker, but shaking it with grace and skill is another matter altogether. Also, it's a workout for that problematic area--you know the one--your abs. I definitely have a new appreciation for belly dancers. Will I ever reach that level of skill where I'd actually perform amongst restaurant patrons, snaking my way through veils of hookah smoke and cloth covered tables loaded with hummus and schwarma? If I continue to go to these classes I will. But even if I only dance in my dreams, I'll be doing it correctly. I'll also be wearing one of their fabulous costumes they have for sale too 'cause if you're gonna shimmy, you should look properly glamorous while doing it.

The staff is always friendly and so are the people who are there for the practice of yoga. If you need a may, yoga towel, or a towel there are some available (maybe for a small price?).

Anna, Ryann, Heather Ann are at the top of my list mainly due to the type of classes I do. I could add all the other instructors to my list as well (I don't want to leave anyone out - so I will keep it general). Bella Vida offers a variety of different classes - so it should appeal to a mix of yogis. While Power Yoga is a favorite, I have also enjoyed so many other types of practices (Reggae, Yoga Nidra, Hatha, Yin). There are always other events, such as community pot lucks, full moon practices, workshops, etc. and it's a wonderful little community. I am so glad I discovered this place (thanks to Shannon and Ryann) and I look forward to every practice. Kudos to you Brittany for the care and attention you put into your little oasis in our local community!

But red skies nails all 3! And added bonus- it has both hot and air conditioned classes. I'm not quite a beginner, but certainly no yogi expert. I've tried 3 styles of their classes instructors and truly enjoyed all 3! My fav was cool vinyasa today with Heather - I found it to be challenging and strengthening without the chaos of power yoga. Gentle yoga with Susan is truly an all levels class where everyone can modify poses to their skill level. Power yoga was one of the hardest workouts I've ever done! I can't wait to continue taking all 3 types of classes & improve my skill set. I'm already feeling more confident and having less back pain. Thanks red skies for making me feel welcome in your studio and helping me improve my practice. I look forward to class every time!

I'm not sure what the first review is about but I've been coming here since they opened last year…read more The owners and instructors have always been friendly and encouraging. Most of the classes are geared for women but they do offer a Co-ed Yoga class. Let's be clear...I do NOT enjoy working out myself....but I'm getting older and time is not on my side! I can say that I THOROUGHLY enjoy each class I've tried here. There's a variety of classes to choose from... pole classes (ladies, you'll be surprised what you can do!) strength conditioning, aerial yoga(once you take this class, a regular yoga class will seem BORING!). Shannon is a great instructor who challenges you but is mindful of your body's limitations. She will push you though! Sometimes a little ass- kicking is good for the soul;) Kelly and Dawn are amazing pole instructors who are not only patient going over every tiny step but help you find your inner sexiness...ooohhlala! I leave every class feeling tired but STRONG and empowered because I've tried something challenging and rewarding. Try this place out! You won't regret it!
