A side bonus, the sweat is the best thing ever for your skin. My skin has gotten so soft.

It's hot and it's a workout. But, the results are well worth it. I am getting better at the poses (asanas) and that in itself is rewarding. If you are considering, I strongly recommend you give it a try! The reception area, studio and locker rooms are all very nice and clean. The gals at the reception desk are so very sweet and welcoming. The instructors are all great. They make you feel welcome no matter what level 'yogi' you are at---beginner (me) to advanced (amazing) Special shout-out to Miss Hailey Lewis. She's an amazing young lady who transforms into an incredibly powerful yoga instructor right before your eyes. Namaste, John Fuchs

I have also been able to attend classes by Wesley, Lee, Michelle, Tate and Bijou, who are all masterful in their own right. The staff behind the counter is super friendly.

I really love this studio and all of their classes, which is why this was so disappointing. I was…read morepretty grossed out walking into a recent class and noticing the room hadn't been cleaned or sanitized after the previous session. Everyone was expected to lay their mats directly on top of other people's sweat, and the weights were still wet and sticky. For a studio at this price point, I would expect much better sanitation practices. Clean equipment and floors aren't just about appearances, they're important for helping prevent the spread of germs and ensuring members feel comfortable. I hope the studio makes cleanliness a higher priority moving forward because otherwise it's a fantastic place to work out.

I am deeply disappointed by how my membership with Anahata Yoga ended. I was a founding member and…read morehave supported this studio since the beginning. I brought friends and family, recommended the studio to others, and genuinely believed in the community and values being created. I want to acknowledge my part in what happened. I had a conversation where my frustration came through strongly, and my tone was not how I would have wanted to communicate. I have reflected on that and take responsibility for the way I expressed myself. However, I want to clarify that my frustration was not directed at Victoria or Anahata. I was upset because I felt the studio and its community were not being respected by Emerald Mallard allowing smoking near the studio. My reaction came from caring about a business and space that I had supported for years. After reflecting, I reached out, apologized for my tone, and my apology was accepted. I attended class the following day as planned and believed we had repaired the situation and were moving forward. Instead, shortly afterward, while I was out of town, I received an email ending my membership. I was shocked and hurt that, after what I believed was a resolved conversation, the decision was made without another discussion or an opportunity to understand what had changed. What was most painful was not the decision itself, but the lack of communication and the way it was handled. After years of showing up for this studio as a founding member, I expected a more compassionate and direct conversation. Anahata promotes values like mindfulness, compassion, and communication. Unfortunately, my experience during a difficult moment did not feel aligned with those values. I hope others have a positive experience, but I wanted to share my own experience of feeling dismissed and blindsided after years of support.
