Cool little place. Small space, and no central air, but they machines and make it work. It's actually not the space--which is limited although consecrated--that makes it great. It's the teachers! Also, it's a black owned business in a gentrificlusion zone (gentrified but mixed income), or revitalized area, if you prefer. Those are two more reasons to show up!

Love this yoga studio and the wide variety of classes and workshops they offer. I particularly love Sheera's Thursday evening candle light class and Monica's Monday evening class. My 1.5 year old son loves the Saturday morning toddler classes. Love the fact that the studio is small and everyone is super friendly and inviting, no matter your skill level. read more

I recently have started to search out yoga studios. I have pinpointed 3 of them to check out in particular. Two are in DC and one is in Hyattsville, closer to where I live (in Cheverly). I attended Studio #1 last Saturday and loved it so much that I know I'll be attending that class and that teacher every Saturday (See my other reviews for my review of Yoga District....Wisconsin Avenue branch). Studio #2 I attended on Tuesday. It is the Hyattsville location---"Love Yoga". Initially I was a little thrown off to be honest with you. The teacher's style is 100% different from my first teacher at the other studio. I could tell that the first teacher (at Yoga District) has been practicing yoga for many moons now and that she is a master teacher. This teacher (Sherri) is happy-go-lucky and does not take herself too seriously. She goes with the flow, is funny and is a terrific teacher. I would not call her a master but she is good, and fun, and knowledgeable and challenging. She's hands on and is good at correcting postures. Right away she had us trying head stands, shoulder stands and a lot of other challenging poses. I broke a sweat for sure! The studio itself is eeny-weeny. There were 4 of us there, plus the teacher and that was plenty for comfort. However, I'm guessing that at least 8 can fit in there but it would be tight. Will I return? No. But it has nothing to do with the teacher or the space. It's just that the first teacher's style fits my personality to the absolute n'th degree. And so I'll be attending her class for as long as she teaches it. I have one more studio to visit and if I like that one, I'll have 2 studios to visit...but at least I have one for now. Do I recommend you attend the "Love Yoga" studio? ABSOLUTELY! I highly recommend you check it out. I have only been in Sherri's class so I cannot speak for the other teachers at that location. But Sherri is fun, hip, encouraging, and will work you into a sweat. Check it out! read more

I've been meaning to write a review of Love Yoga for a while now. What a welcoming, inclusive community! I attended classes there for about two years (recently moved), and really enjoyed getting to know the instructors and other students. Monica is wonderful, and so much fun - she taught some lunchtime classes for a group of us at my former workplace, too. If you're looking to try yoga for the first time, or if you have a seasoned practice already, I would wholeheartedly recommend this studio. read more

Come to Love Yoga if you want individual attention and a variety of classes to choose from. There is a diverse range of teachers who are all kind and knowledgeable. Monica the owner is always welcome and open. Once I joined Love, I saw my practice expand in ways I didn't know was possible. It was the supportive environment that I needed to try new things. Love Yoga is a positive force the Hyattsville community! read more

It pains me to give such a poor rating to a local yoga business here in Hyattsville, but our overall experience at Love Yoga was not very good, and as a result, we will not be back to patronize this business. This is due in large part to the teacher we had on Wednesday night (late December 2015). Perhaps there was a cultural issue, but I feel obliged to document how the evening went: our teacher did not greet us (we were greeted by the gal who checked us in, that's good!), he did not ask for our names, he did not ask if we had injuries or if we needed to have any accommodations made for the evening practice, he jumped right into the 75 minute session w/out explaining what area(s) and asanas we would focus on for the evening and provided little in the way of alternative asanas for those who could not do the asanas he was demonstrating. This is not only unprofessional, it is dangerous for the client. I fully understand that each and every yoga teacher has their own style, focus, and likes/dislikes, but this experience was both unprofessional and unsafe. Now, I feel it is necessary to provide some yoga street cred since the fair Yelp readers may come to believe I am an disgruntled individual, ignorant of the practice of yoga and what yoga is about. That I assure you is far from the truth. I have consistently and regularly practiced yoga since February 2009 at there local yoga studios: Yoga Space (three blocks away from Love Yoga), Joe's Movement Emporium (two miles away in Mt. Rainer), and Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park. I can guarantee you that I have never had an experience as described above at any of these three local studios, nor have I had a remotely similar experience when I am practicing yoga in local studios while on travel. I cannot speak to other teachers at the studio--they may be amazing. However, our first impression was unfortunately quite negative which means we will not be returning and unfortunately won't be supporting a local business here in lovely Hyattsville. :( read more

I thoroughly enjoyed our private yoga session! This was the first time that I laughed while doing yoga. It's not just about breathing and the movements, but about having a fun and relaxing experience. Our session was tailored to our needs (i.e. most of us are working professionals who may spend long hours sitting and we're women who carry a lot of bags daily lol -- so she did poses such as eagle pose, happy baby, and cat cow, etc.) I loved that she played spiritual music as well (again, this was tailored to our request for our private session) for our gospel yoga session. I left with my hips more open, feeling more in balance, and energized. I actually may plan my birthday party here in the Spring :-) read more

I love this studio! Great community and classes are varied so you should be able to find your perfect fit in the different teachers.

I'm so excited about this brand new studio. The first time I scheduled to attend I had to cancel last minute and they were super nice about it. Then I make it to a class and the other 2 people that were supposed to attend canceled about 5 minutes beforehand and I had a personal class for an hour and fifteen minutes! They don't charge you to borrow mats and the place is perfectly peaceful. I got there early since it was my first class and the owner was unbelievably nice and let me know what they were thinking of adding in the future and changes to the neighborhood. For the class itself I had cherea and she was amazing. Asked what I wanted to work on and adjusted the class to fit my needs. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been attending Love Yoga since they opened in summer 2014. I thoroughly enjoy this studio and the broad range of classes they offer. There is no doubt this is a small studio (maximum 10-12 students), but it is clean, cozy, well-equipped, and has tremendous charm and accessibility for a local studio. Inexpensive ($1 an hour) and plentiful parking is available at the public parking area (near Franklin's restaurant) about three doors down. For a small studio they offer a diverse number of classes including Flow, Yin Yoga, Restorative, and wonderful family oriented classes (Baby Yoga, Mommy & Me, all inclusive family). Classes are offered all days of the week and at a variety of times (including early morning/sunrise). I have enjoyed most of the instructors but especially like the 7:45 pm weeknight classes because I have time to get home from work and eat a light dinner before heading to class. The owner lives in the local area and has really worked with the Hyattsville community to offer other services such as wellness, nutrition, and children's workshops. The prices are in line with other area studios and they often run an introductory special for new students. There is a tremendous yogi community in Hyattsville and I look forward to continuing my yoga studies at this and other area studios. http://www.love-yogastudio.com/ read more
