Tried out this studio as a part of class pass, and absolutely loved it! I feel like any level of yoga could be practiced at the class I went to (beginner, moderate, advanced) - because the instructor offered modifications to make the poses both easier and more challenging if needed. I also loved the warm, clean, inviting vibe of the studio. Will absolutely return to try out more classes! read more

Address needs to be updated, I showed up to the old location, barely made it to the class. The new address is 1011 king street instead of 110 king street shown on Yelp. Instructor Toni was great, the only complaint I have is it's way too cold in the studio for my liking. read more

Refresh Yoga Center - Yoga Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

We come here at least once a week, it is such a great studio in the heart of Old Town on King Street, the studio itself is beautiful, there's a huge skylight so it's always well lit during daytime classes. The energy in the studio is just great, we have taken classes with 3-4 different instructors and all of them have been knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and I really enjoy the way they lead classes Classes here tend to be challenging but not overly so, you get a good workout but you also feel very relaxed and centered. Overall this is one of our favorite studios in Old Town. read more

Refresh Yoga Center - Yoga Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Had an amazing experience at this studio for an evening class. The instructor was so caring, both on and off the mat. She readily gave modifications for the poses, told funny anecdotes, and seemed very genuine. The studio provided the mats, blocks, etc. would definitely recommend! read more

Beautiful studio and great instruction. Lindsey tailored the class to student needs and is very personable. I highly recommend!

I'm reviewing another online yoga class - are you surprised?! I love exploring online yoga classes during the pandemic, and when I come across a good one, it's always a fun find. I attended a Yin/Restorative class with Elizabeth and had a great experience. The class was communicated in a timely fashion with Zoom links and they made everything easy to navigate. I always appreciate when they treat the online attendees just as well as the in-person attendees! Online yoga classes are getting harder and harder to find in my own community despite rising COVID numbers. Elizabeth is a great instructor. I felt very well-stretched and relaxed after class. The class wasn't super challenging but was challenging enough for an advanced Yin yogi like me. Elizabeth really knew what she was doing, and you could tell. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone seeking a quality Yin/Restorative experience online or in-person. An overall great place with qualified instructors and nice people! Love from Cleveland! read more

Absolutely amazing instructors and welcoming community. Highly highly recommend! Just do it.

Refresh is a wonderful studio! I was so pleased they had a morning Thanksgiving class to offer those of us that wanted a nice workout before our meals. The mats, blocks, straps and other equipment are of high quality. The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful as well as the other instructor that was there to correct our form and assist those that needed pose options. The studio is bright and modern. I will stop in the next time I'm in town. (I might even check out their massage options. ) read more

After buying ClassPass, I have been a regular here at Refresh Yoga Center. I tried out the Stretch and Refresh class with Cynthia and then the Restorative/Yin Yoga with Chelsea before branching into both Gentle Yoga and Slow Flow Vinyasa with Pia and finally, regular Vinyasa Yoga with Chelsea. Nowadays, I usually book Vinyasa with Chelsea or Gentle Yoga with Pia. The studio, while small, is very inviting and cozy. Due to its size, the classes are fairly small so you don't feel too cramped and can get individual, personalized support from your teachers. There are open cubbies to put your belongings, two bathrooms where you can change, coat racks, and benches for shoes. The studio is very clean and bright. I really like the regular flow class. The Slow Flow Vinyasa is also great, a bit slower paced so that you can concentrate on your movements and breaths. Restorative/Yin and Stretch & Refresh are both fantastic options for gentle stretches and muscle and mind relaxation - I highly recommend taking these just before the work week starts! The teachers always offer modifications if you need them, which is very much appreciated. In addition, they have Mindful Movement, which is an all-levels class designed for those with injuries, mobility issues, or going through recovery. There is a Sweat & Refresh, which is a HIIT class, and a Core Strength & Length, which helps you build your core with focus on abs, hips, glutes, and the back. They even have a prenatal yoga class. For beginners, they do offer a 4-week beginner series ($75). New students get unlimited classes for two weeks at $30. Great opportunity to check out the studio and the classes. Otherwise, a single class is $20 and 5-class pack is $95. There are other membership options for monthly members. I have been on and off yoga for years, but I feel that I will be on for much longer this time around due to Refresh Yoga Center. I love taking classes with Chelsea and Pia - they are both great at giving instructions both verbally and with hands-on assistance, and their voices evoke instant calmness. Since trying out Refresh, I have been at least twice a week (unless I'm on travel) and I always look forward to going back! read more

Had my first prenatal class with Maria after reading the great reviews both here and on Mind+Body Connect. Being new to yoga period I was nervous but excited to try something new to assist me through my first pregnancy. Maria took time to make sure we were all in good form and even stopped me after class to provide more insight into yoga as a whole. I enjoyed her so much that I signed up for her class this upcoming Tuesday. read more

link did not work for online first time at this place -too complicated a process to just do yoga

Clean, bright, beautiful studio, matched with beautiful teachers and staff. I love coming here -- it's an amazing community with lots of class options. Did I mention how clean and bright it is? It's a cozy, space with teachers that accommodate all levels. You can't go wrong here! read more

The online sign up is really easy (the new client monthly unlimited package is cheapest I found in Old Town.. I looked at five or six other studios), and you can reserve a spot in the classes, pay, see the schedule, etc. The yoga is good, and I loved all the teachers. I've had Emily (my absolute favorite, great personality and easy going), Caroline (probably the most "vigorous" teacher, great for getting a good work out), Andre (cool mustache and music), and Pia (great with adjustments and very sweet). I've been happy with all of my classes there, I have nothing bad to say about the studio or the teachers. I would like to have seen a little more variety in poses, which I could have gotten in the intermediate classes undoubtedly, but my schedule would only permit going to the all levels. The reason they got four out of five is the parking. If you are within reasonable walking distance, this is a great studio. I live about two miles away (in Del Ray), and I would have to leave 30-40 minutes before each class so I could circle around Old Town to park, and I still usually ended up about four blocks away. I'm going to try out a studio closer to my house, and if that doesn't work out I'll be back at Refresh read more

I went here for the Prenatal Yoga Class with Rebekah. The class was excellent, something I really needed. I definitely need to continue to participate with the classes. read more

Love this studio. Parking can be a challenge (garages nearby cost almost as much as a drop-in; consider yourself warned) so plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to circle the block. Their vinyasa classes are reliable, thoughtfully prepared and each instructor puts a unique spin on them. Wish there was a bit more variety in terms of class style and level of challenge but I've been waiting for a studio with a chill vibe and great teachers. Highly recommend Refresh Yoga. read more

I had a lot of anxiety coming into my first yoga class--not only am I brand new to yoga, but I also don't have much exercise experience in general. Despite nearly everyone I know assuring me that "yoga is for every body," I'm neurotic and scared of people judging me for being out of shape and not skinny. Bad lower back pain finally forced me to suck it up and give yoga a shot, and I am SO glad I did. The staff and teachers at Refresh have made me feel so welcome! So far, I've taken several Vinyasa Foundations and Yin Yoga classes with Jyoti and Erin. Jyoti is kind and gives excellent instructions. She really took the time to break down the basics for me on my first day, even really simple postures that other people already knew. I also love how Jyoti tailors the class to issues the students want to work on. It's so easy, as a teacher, to just teach a set lesson, but Jyoti really listens and makes the class individualized. We spent one entire class just working on stretches to help with back pain. Jyoti also knows when to push you to the next level--last week, she taught me how to do a shoulder stand. To those with yoga experience, this probably seems like nothing, but I couldn't believe I was able to do the pose after only a week of yoga. Erin's classes can be a bit faster-paced and focus more on mastering the flow of Vinyasa. I'm still pretty terrible at sun salutations, but Erin's encouragement and insistence on paying attention to my own body makes me feel like I'm improving already. Erin is, above all else, a friendly person, which makes her own personal athleticism less intimidating! The best part of all of this (or TL;DR): after only two and a half weeks of yoga, my back pain is almost entirely gone. I've never once felt judged, even when my down dog looks more like a down turtle. The studio is peaceful and clean, and I've seen students of all ages, sizes, shapes, races, and levels of ability. Throw in the $30/30-day new-student special, and Refresh Yoga couldn't be more perfect. read more

Hands down amazing. This place is everything you could want in a yoga studio - knowledgeable instructors, convenient location, pleasant scent (yet not too strong) and beautiful space. I absolutely love refresh! It's a hands on studio, which I prefer as a beginner. They are happy to give you advice and if you choose, adjust you during your practice to make sure you're doing the poses correctly. I have attended classes regularly taught by Emily, Pia & Andre. They are incredible instructors! During relaxation they offer a cold, sometimes lightly scented, cloth. Overall, it's an amazing experience. PARKING - There are multiple parking garages on Union Street, just around the corner from the studio! read more

I liked the location on busy King Street. Parking was easy, free for two hours and just 2 blocks away. The light in the studio was nice. I appreciated the nicely coordinated grey yoga equipment. Bernie welcomed me , was friendly and helpful. I had a good class and look forward to many more. read more

I really enjoyed the instructors and the feel of the space! The studio offers a very serene atmosphere even with busy Old Town right outside. So far, I've taken the Vinyasa 1.5 class from both Allison and Megan. I really appreciated how each instructor tailored the class to the level of the students. Unlike other yoga classes I've taken, I was challenged and it really felt good. Although I live about 45 minutes away, I will definitely be going back! read more

I have been doing Bikram yoga on and off for years and when I first moved to the area I thought I would attend some classes. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but bad experiences with the Bikram yoga classes in the area (especially at the DuPont Circle location). The instructors are impolite, the classes are not relaxing at all (yes, it is possible to relax while doing Bikram), and I never once felt a sense of community; it was more like a competition among the students with every class. A friend of mine recommended Refresh and after a little back and forth I attended a class. Now, I am a regular attendant! I thought Vinyasa Flow would be kind of wimpy and not challenging, but I quickly learned that I was very wrong. The instructors are awesome, especially Allison and Emily. They really know how to help you get out of your head and just relax and enjoy your time. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. In fact, after one class I asked the instructor (whos name I cannot remember) about my ankle pain when I do a particular positon. Not only did she give me some advise right off the bat but the next day I received an email out of the blue from her with instructions on how to reduce my pain. I've never gotten that kind of one-on-one from an instructor before! There is a wonderful sense of community in this space. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Don't let the discription of the Yin class put you off; it's fantastic! I love this studio and I plan on renewing my package at the end of this month. Give Refresh a shot. You won't regret it! read more

I love this place! The location is fantastic, walkable to all the best of Old Town. Beautiful space and great classes. Very knowledgeable instructors and welcoming atmosphere. Lots of different class options. Great place to call your yoga home! read more

I bought the Living Social deal and went to a vinyasa class last night. I believe Emily taught the class. It was great! Challenging and interesting as she told a warrior story and based her class around that. I attended this studio for a year before Refresh took over the space and I'm very happy they have maintained the calm and the comfortability of it. I look forward to my next class! read more

In town for a few days and was lucky enough to get into an awesome Restorative/Yin class. Everyone was very nice and the studio was nicely set up and clean. I felt very welcome and the instructor (Sojourner) was wonderful ! read more

The integrity and love in this studio is so apparent. Everyone that works here is so genuine and kind. I have never felt so understood by people I don't even know. Also, their rocket classes are crazy challenging in the best way. My personal favorite though is the candlelight series, because it's perfect ambiance. Such a beautiful studio and so much elegant and natural design. In the literal heart of old town I love to take a walk by the water or grab lunch/dinner after. BUT the best is actually the Starbucks right next door lol. Yay tea post wonderful yoga! read more

I recently checked out Refresh Yoga's prenantal class thanks to groupon and had a very relaxing experience. I'm not new to yoga, but I am new to prenatal yoga so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, it wasn't strenuous which is good, but I pushed myself and ended up feeling a little creaky the next day. For the most part I think this class would be good for anyone even those new to yoga. I learned some ways to modify poses, got some good stretching in and also got nice and relaxed. As for the studio itself it was clean, airy and bright. The yoga room was smaller than I expected. The instructor was great. I look forward to going back again. read more

Today was my second Vinyasa 2 class at Refresh. Both were superb! Alison and Emily are attentive, creative, and supportive teachers; I have high hopes for the rest of the instructors. I've practiced in Seattle, New York, and now NoVa regularly for the past four years - while my Warrior 1 still looks suspiciously like a Crescent Lunge, I have a fair amount of experience with yoga. What I look for is pretty simple: good queuing, a flow that makes sense, good adjustments, and a chance to turn my brain off. Refresh ticks all of these boxes. Phenomenal introductory specials - $18 for three classes is unheard of, especially around here. There's a genuine effort to build community underway at Refresh and this is a great contribution to that. The space is unexpectedly bright, airy, and quiet. It's one of the nicer studios I've visited, and will be great in late autumn and winter. read more

I've been going to Refresh for almost a year and after every class I think, I really need to write a review. Today's class with Jyoti was exceptional and prompted me to finally write a review. I work a couple of blocks from Refresh and the location is great - close to the water if you want to continue to unwind after class, parking is fairly easy and it's also accessible by metro and trolley. I go to Jyoti's Slow Flow Vinyasa twice a week and it's such an incredible way to break up my work day. So much so that my co-workers know when I've been to yoga and want to get in on getting a yoga glow. The studio is very clean and welcoming. I was nervous to go at first as I haven't practiced in a while and didn't want to be the biggest gal in the room, but the $30/unlimited one month was too tempting. No attitudes here - everyone is so nice and positive. The slow flow class is great if you have basic yoga experience and want to slow things down. This does not mean it's easier - I've often walked down the steps after class with trembling legs and feel it in the best possible way the next day. Jyoti is great with adjustments, offering amplifications of moves and tailoring the class to newcomers and old timers alike. She is open to suggestion and knows when to push you to the next level- like today :). I like the reading she does at the end of class, it gives you something to think about for the day. I've also had Pia for a couple of the classes and she is very sweet and also good with adjustments. It's amazing to see how much strength and flexibility you gain after only a couple of classes and it really does help with relieving everyday stress. I have not had a massage here, but my co-workers swear by them. My only suggestion is to have a class during lunch. If only I could fit more yoga into my week at Refresh. Try the new student deal and thank me later! read more

Refresh is my new happy place. I love my DC neighborhood but Refresh seriously made me wish I lived or worked in Old Town. I was running errands in the neighborhood when I felt like I could use some serious de-stress yoga in my life. I logged into ClassPass and ta-da! Refresh was the closest studio with a Vinyasa class available in 15 minutes. I registered not expecting anything special. I've been to way too many yoga studios around the country and they all kinda felt the same to me. Refresh was different. So inviting, so bright, and very clean (very much appreciated in this crazy summer stickiness.) I was pleasantly surprised to see hair bands, make-up remover wipes, organic hand lotions and other hygiene products available. Big +. They have Manduka and Jade yoga mats available for rent ($2), another + (best yoga mats, imho). Their blocks are also Manduka. As for the class itself - Andre was a fantastic teacher. Great energy, great flow, and great sense of humor. He was excellent at explaining poses (it was a Foundations class, after all) and even better at making sure everyone's form was correct. I look forward to more classes here. read more

I love this place! I went to their prenatal yoga classes during the last two months of my pregnancy and learned so much. I wish I had gone the entire time I was pregnant. I can't say enough good things about Paige who was the instructor for most of my classes. She knows just how to motivate you and how to accommodate what your body is capable of while still stretching you. She's really just fabulous! I had a couple classes with Erin too and loved those as well. I enjoyed the time where I could focus on my body and my baby. It was great that the classes were small because it allowed the ladies attending to get to know each other and bond. I'm excited to get back there once I've finished my postpartum recovery. The website is very user friendly. read more

I had been looking for a yoga studio in the Old Town Alexandria area, and with having never done yoga before, I was completely lost. I found Refresh Yoga one evening while walking down King St. so I decided to take a brochure and see what their rates and classes provided were. What amazed me at first when looking at their brochure was that they offered "New Students" a $30/month membership. Fast forward to my first time going in for classes. I was recommended by the lovely staff to try the Vinyasa Foundations class since like I said before, I have never done yoga. Andre was my instructor and he was great! I was really able to concentrate and be there in the moment. He also teaches more advanced classes so he is able to work with you whatever level you are on. I have also taken the Slow Flow Vinyasa class with Emily and she was amazing as well! This class was more focused on posing and stretching, which is definitely something I needed. She was able to help me out tremendously whenever I felt I wasn't able to pose correctly. All in all, I am very happy with Refresh Yoga and will recommend it all my friends and you as well! read more

I am not a yoga person. It's really hard for me to stop thinking during class. Lots of my friends love yoga but I'm not in love with it... it just becomes boring after awhile because I can't get into it. The teacher at Refresh emphasized "breathing through my nose" the entire time, which allowed me to concentrate for the majority of the class. She also eases you into class, which helps me relax, and if I don't feel like working out that day sort of tricks me into it. I've been going for awhile now and used to always wake up at night with stiff knees (I'm not really sure why- I'm only 27- it may have something to do with wearing heels everyday?) but have woken up sometimes without even noticing them. I highly recommend this studio. read more

The prenatal yoga has been a wonderful experience. I started at 16 weeks, and am currently 6 months pregnant. Paige is great--you can tell she has been teaching prenatal for a while. Class is very intimate, with a limit of 6 people per class (you can sign up online ahead of time to reserve your spot). This makes for a welcoming environment, where you get a chance to learn from others at other stages of pregnancy. The instructor takes into account your current trouble spots, and works to prepare you for handling both labor, and motherhood/life in general. I really look forward to going to class after spending a day at my desk at work! read more

LOVE THIS STUDIO! I left VA so I stopped going, but I'm so glad I got to see this little studio start out and then rise up since then. Classes are great, for experienced people but those that are still relaxed/not stuck up about yoga. I love Yin Yoga, if you haven't done it yet, please do. You will love it, not as a work out but as really good stretching. They have a lot of good deals to get you in the door and are only expanding. Try it out, you'll love it. read more

Love this studio. Did the new student pass and absolutely loved each and every class. Location is awesome too.

I had such a great experience here! I took the pre-natal class. The instructor was super nice and helpful. She came to talk with me after the class to see how I felt and asked if I enjoyed the class. The front staff was also really warm and welcoming. Hope to become a regular here! read more

Amazing studio! I took my first class which was Yin Yoga and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to go back next week. Refresh is a very warm, welcoming environment. read more

Calm and clean space to practice. Loved both teachers I had for Vinyasa flow on back to back days while visiting from SLC. Learned our names and were so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back if ever in the area. read more

Love this place and the people. I started coming for prenatal with Jess and Maria and really enjoyed the different approaches from each instructor. I continue to enjoy classes with all of the other instructors allowing me some focus and clarity in this busy mom brain. read more

I took advantage of their one-month unlimited deal for new student just before the holidays. I was really dedicated about going there everyday. Emily, Pia, and Andre are great instructors. They got awesome personality and their cues are easily to follow. It's perfect for beginners or those who have been absent from Yoga for awhile, like myself. Studio is relative small but cozy and clean. The downside is parking due to its prime location on King Street. read more

I attended my first ever yoga class on Saturday and it was great. I had never done yoga before and I felt a tad apprehensive, but Rebekah who ran our Vinyasa Foundation session was an excellent teacher and I am looking forward to my next yoga class. read more
