I have absolutely loved every experience I have had in the studio or practicing with one of their instructors at an event in the community. Most of my physical activity involves running and I am definitely not anywhere close to an advanced yogi. I enjoy it for the stretch and the gift of just being able to be somewhere totally in the moment without distractions. It really is a gift to myself that I don't give nearly enough. If I had time to add another activity onto my weekly schedule, I wouldn't hesitate to be a member. Thankfully, their drop-in process is easy and the ability to buy class packs makes it easy to come in whenever my schedule allows. I never feel like an "outsider" when I drop in, a vibe I have gotten from other studios. Peyton and Ann have been my favorite go-to instructors, but everyone has been wonderful in their own unique teaching style. I personally like a little humor in my yoga. They have so many varieties of classes for all levels of student. One day maybe I'll get adventurous and branch away from yin, restorative, foundations, and yoga for athletes classes. For now, that's where you will find me though- each class helps during a different point in my training cycle & year. This studio has a full bathroom with showers. They also already have everything you need to practice including straps, blocks, blankets, towels, and bolsters. They also have a handful of mats to borrow if you forgot one or are just giving yoga a try for the first time. When you enter the studio you first check in with the desk before putting your belongings in the cubbies directly across from the desk. The receptionists have always been friendly and helpful. There are three rooms, it is helpful to go ahead and ask which one your class will be in when you check in. They usually assume you already know- which maybe I should for some of the classes I've taken a few times. I still like to ask! This studio offers a huge variety of classes and class times. They have been perfect for a casual novice person like myself; but they also offer instructor training and advanced workshops. They have kids classes, barre classes, pilates, and probably a few others that I don't even know about! I've checked out a few other studios just to compare and this checks all the boxes and just feels like home every time I drop in for a class.

Love how awesome the yoga community is here!

We have practiced for almost a decade and this was absolutely the most overpriced and mediocre class we've taken across the world! Each prop was hospitably offered to us, only for us to realize that each item they offered us cost us 5/10 more dollars. if I would've accepted their kind offer of blocks or straps to use during the class, it would've been a hundred dollar yoga class! Not to mention the teacher was incredibly difficult to hear over the music (which I must say was fire- only reason I'm giving two stars) . For the price of the class, I would've loved at least a hands on adjustment or two, more audible cues, a more imaginative flow, or perhaps a spa treatment!!! I think they are less interested in providing a challenging, interesting yoga experience than taking peoples money. But, good for them, they seem to be doing quite well.

I must say after coming here....I have a renewed love for Virginia Beaches!…read more Located a short drive, 30 minutes south of the "ever popular and crowded" Virginia Beach District, is Sandbridge Beach. This beach is unique gem. I almost didn't want to write this review because I wanted to keep it a secret to myself and share with no one. lol This beach is everything...and provides all one needs for a relaxing beach getaway. It is a secluded beach hideaway of pristine waters, sand dunes and sea oats whispering in the wind...in which if you are quiet enough...it almost sounds like waves, wind and sea are all having a conversation with themselves -- you excluded. It is a quiet, relaxing and peaceful community where you can truly slow down and unwind on your vacation. The beaches are clean and the waters are perfect...no kelp, debris or rocks. The Memorial Day Holiday weekend was my first visit to this beach and I am forever hooked! It was just what I need. I came here with a group of friends. We rented one of the many "Baller" beach house rentals and had the best of times...without the need for anything but us and the beach. If you are looking to get outdoors and have a more scenic beach vacation...Sanbridge Beach is your place. The marshes and open waters of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park make for great kayaking, hiking, and fishing. Or,.....just call it a day become a beach bum on the beach without being bothered by anyone but you and the crashing waves. After coming here....I don't think I will ever go to Virginia Beach again. Besides, being a short ride from Sandbridge Beach...we found it really cool to head into Virginia Beach for the nightlife but stay overall in Sandbridge. There are a couple of pizza-bar spots, shops and local business to meet your needs where you literally don't have to leave. In all, we couldn't have stumbled on a better beach. Sandbridge Beach is by far, one of my favorites and best beaches surrounding all of the DMV -- DC/Maryland/Virginia! I am literally online....checking for properties, pizza delivery boy/bartender jobs and trying to figure out how I can trade in the hustle n' bustle of the city and my corporate grind....for a piece of life at this place! Most definitely will be back!!

The beach and city come alive in the Summer. Parking has never been an issue at Sandbridge Beach. Locate Little Island Park where there is a massive amount of space.

I'm not a surfer, so I only hear this from friends that it's a good area to learn surfing. Swimming is permitted, however guards work the Memorial Day to Labor Day span with shoulder months depending on the weather. The pier to fish off of is one of the most popular locations for locals. Bring your own equipment and bait. There is no where to launch a boat from at the park. There are a few restaurants and even food trucks, but not much at all with regards to eating out. Your only 15-20 minutes from many food options. This goes for shopping of merchandise and groceries. There are small mom and pop shops only. Simply Steamed has been a recent favorite. There are so many reasons why Virginia Beach residents feel as though they live in paradise. Our beaches point blank rock and few would dispute that the city knows how to take excellent care of them for our tourist and locals alike. Just because the kids are back in school does not mean you cannot take advantage. Get out and enjoy all there is to offer at Little Island Park and the surrounding area.

When my friend mentioned Back Bay I was thinking, oh snap. What did I commit myself to?? Kayaking where there might be cottonmouths??!! But I was thinking Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where I've seen lots of them. There were no cottonmouths. I promise you. Just lots of duck blinds and marsh areas that open into the bay. It was so serene. You get 2 hours, and rental includes the pfd and they loan you a waterproof phone case if needed which was nice. Because I was pretty dry until I got out of the kayak from our 2 hours. I landed in waist deep water, my feet sunk into the sand. I couldn't recover from the fall and face planted into the water - baseball hat, sunglasses and waterproof phone case and all. THAT waterproof phone case saved my phone and my key fob!! Don't do what I did Launch it parallel to the land so you don't end up in the water like I did. The young man that worked there was kind and genuinely concerned. When he arrived to pull the kayaks further up on land, he asked if I got hot. Because he saw I was soaking wet. I think he thought I took a dip in the water. But I told him, I actually fell in getting out of the kayak. (The older couple with their beach chairs outside Baja got quite a show of me splashing around. Haha. ) He made sure I was okay and asked if my phone was okay and to make sure since the waterproof phone cases aren't 100% waterproof. Thankfully, it was fine and so was my key fob. You can rent single or tandem kayaks and are free to roam the area. It's $35 plus tax but they offer military discounts 10% with ID so it came out to $33.39 for me. Staff was very nice the young man was the same person who checked us in and took our payments and the young ladies were friendly and kind as well. Kudos to the staff with their patience, because there was a large group (family) that was blocking the entrance to the shack. When it was time for them to gear up for their pfds, they ransacked the racks of life vests and staff had to politely inform them that they have it in order and will fit each of them individually properly. Therefore there's no need to take them off the rack. I looked it up on their website and if you have your own kayak you can pay a $15 launch fee so that's cool.

There is one nice wide family slide for everyone. There is one super steep one that my six year old braved successfully. The last two are like a twisty open one and then a twisty closed tube style. No life jackets are allowed on the slides but the lifeguards literally stand there and catch your kids and take them back to the side to get out and go again. I was there by myself outnumbered and nervous about my nonswimming kids and no life jackets but quickly relaxed and realized my kids were safe and having the time of their lives. The lifeguards were happy to pass my kids to me but also totally fine if I got out to go do the family slide with one of them if needed. That's always the tricky part of being outnumbered by kids - when the pack wants to split up and I can't be two places at once. Anyway the snack bar food was pretty terrible but pizza was alright. You can bring in a cooler though. Next time I'll pack a full picnic for everyone. They do a lot of adult swims so the lifeguards can rotate but that gives everyone a chance to grab a snack and potty and also gave us a nice window to exit.

So, pack away and save yourself a fortune in concession stand prices. This is a clean and well-maintained facility, for sure. They offer pavilion rental and swimming lessons, which is great! One thing you'll want to warn your kids about ahead of time is "adult swim time" which is a 15 minute break for the kids from the pool they allows the adults to enjoy the facilities (and helps prevent sun-poisoned, exhausted kids)... my kids were upset because adult swim happened 10 mins after we arrived. Oops! There is plenty of seating and it's not so crazy (or wasn't today) that there are long lines... if you get here in time to snag a table, you'll have shade under an umbrella, but annoyingly, people fill the tables with their stuff (even though they aren't sitting there) and you'll be left without shade unless you plan ahead. The snack bar is an array of popsicles, string cheese, burgers, and preservative-packed packaged food that will run you between $0.50 and $5.00 per item. Not terrible on price, really, but far from health-friendly. Better than nothing! For $6/$8 per person, it's a great time. Pack a lunch to save more money, bring as many friends as you can fit in your car. We will be back!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this unassuming business. It's tucked away in a lovely neighborhood, Rudee inlet. Randy, our tour guide is full of optimistic energy, he is patient while teaching the mechanics of paddle boarding. Having grown up in the area gives him the advantage of really knowing the area he'll take you to. It goes without saying SAFETY is the name of the game, he has eyes in the back of his head he keeps you safe! Confidence is the number one idea he wants to instill in his customers, number two he wants you to relax and take in the beauty of all you see. He loves nature and knows the name of every sea creature, water foul and neighborhood pet you paddle by. It was so much fun the best part of any guided tour should be your tour guide, Randy does not disappoint. His enthusiasm stays with you long after your tour has ended. I highly recommend going with this paddle boarding business you'll not be disappointed. read more

What a great tour we had with Rudee Inlet SUP. 3 of us went - all first time paddleboarders. I am a middle aged, slightly overweight woman, and he got me to stand up on the board with his excellent coaching. He got us out of the inlet and into the ocean, even with the wind. Unfortunately, the dolphins didn't show themselves, but we rode some waves and did some yoga on the boards and had a great time! Randy is entertaining and supportive, and seems to really take the safety of his clients seriously. Highly recommend this company! read more

Randy took us out paddle boarding and we had a great time. We were able to go in the ocean where he taught us to surf. We came into the inlet right before a storm and I was determined to get there on my own despite the rough current going against me. He was right there to cheer me along and offered to tow me.

Randy, Scott and Nancy are fantastic. We had a group ranging in age from 10 to 45. Great instruction for us newbies to paddle boarding. Enjoyed the morning and the Bald Eagle sighting. We will come back and paddle with them again. read more

This was an awesome paddle. It was a yoga sup adventure. I can't believe that I was able to do yoga on a paddle board but I was. The employees are supportive, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely do a tour with them again! read more

Solid instruction, awesome vibes, welcoming, and encouraging for all levels! I came back to VB just to visit Randy, the instructor, and his SUP adventures. Super clean too (COVID won't stop me). read more

My friend rented kayaks before with this company. It was her idea to go kayaking and I am so glad…read morewe did! I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful the area was where we kayaked. When my friend mentioned Back Bay I was thinking, oh snap. What did I commit myself to?? Kayaking where there might be cottonmouths??!! But I was thinking Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where I've seen lots of them. There were no cottonmouths. I promise you. Just lots of duck blinds and marsh areas that open into the bay. It was so serene. You get 2 hours, and rental includes the pfd and they loan you a waterproof phone case if needed which was nice. Because I was pretty dry until I got out of the kayak from our 2 hours. I landed in waist deep water, my feet sunk into the sand. I couldn't recover from the fall and face planted into the water - baseball hat, sunglasses and waterproof phone case and all. THAT waterproof phone case saved my phone and my key fob!! Don't do what I did Launch it parallel to the land so you don't end up in the water like I did. The young man that worked there was kind and genuinely concerned. When he arrived to pull the kayaks further up on land, he asked if I got hot. Because he saw I was soaking wet. I think he thought I took a dip in the water. But I told him, I actually fell in getting out of the kayak. (The older couple with their beach chairs outside Baja got quite a show of me splashing around. Haha. ) He made sure I was okay and asked if my phone was okay and to make sure since the waterproof phone cases aren't 100% waterproof. Thankfully, it was fine and so was my key fob. You can rent single or tandem kayaks and are free to roam the area. It's $35 plus tax but they offer military discounts 10% with ID so it came out to $33.39 for me. Staff was very nice the young man was the same person who checked us in and took our payments and the young ladies were friendly and kind as well. Kudos to the staff with their patience, because there was a large group (family) that was blocking the entrance to the shack. When it was time for them to gear up for their pfds, they ransacked the racks of life vests and staff had to politely inform them that they have it in order and will fit each of them individually properly. Therefore there's no need to take them off the rack. I looked it up on their website and if you have your own kayak you can pay a $15 launch fee so that's cool.

Today was my wife's birthday; she is very adventurous. The staff was amazing. They explained what to expect and provided the necessary safety equipment. The ride was fantastic. I am 50+, and I was holding on, with my eyes closed and a smile, to my two kids. The driver helped me adjust to changes in speed and water turbulence resulting from the boat ride. My kids and my wife were laughing. They helped us create a lasting family legacy moment we can cherish. I will come again and use them in the future. I highly recommend them for locals and out-of-town guests. Thank you, John, Cheyenne, Emily, and the rest of the staff.

SO MUCH FUN! This…read morewas our first zipline experience, and this place went above my expectations. My 9 year old was close to the weight limit and our guides let her do a few to test. Luckily we were able to go the whole way and we are so thankful - she can't stop talking about how much fun it was. Our guides, Mr. Bob and Mr. Kim were encouraging for everyone, especially one member of the group who was pretty scared and she also made it the whole way. They also kept encouraging my kiddo, which I think added to her bravery It was overcast so not a sun issue but it was humid because of the type of environment. Make sure to hydrate! There was a water station half way through. Also, bug spray is recommended. Some of the group didn't wear any and got a couple bites. Also comfy loose clothing and closed toe shoes. Overall I think this was exactly the place we wanted - it wasn't some commercial theme attraction but a real zipline experience. We will go again if we visit the area again. Thanks Mr. Bob and Mr. Kim!!!

Lines vary in height and challenge, none too scary for our family members of varying ages. Jimmy and Sean were great guides: initiated icebreakers for getting to know group members, reviewed safety rules before and during obstacles, assisted and helped every person get geared up. Nothing like being outdoors with family, cruising swiftly at treetop levels. We loved the dual line race, mom v dad / sis v sis / bro v bro. Of course wifey "beat me" (I intentionally pushed off late - duh!). They constantly tweak courses and line speeds to balance safety and adventure level. Total price was steep for my fam of 6 ($375), but hey, it was a "yes day." Recommend offering a family price to entice more family groups. That said, I'd do it again...after my bank account recovers from first yes day!

We caught about 25 croakers(?) but people around us caught many more, someone even caught a shark. Ryan and Nick the first mates were really knowledgeable and personable. They helped us identify fish, cut our bait, and chatted with us throughout the night. They both helped make this fishing experience amazing. The Captain introduced himself and the boat at the start, communicated with us as the night went on and most importantly kept us level when the currents got a little rough. There were about 20 people fishing with us so the only downfall of this trip was some of our lines kept getting tangled which was likely user error. We will definitely be back to try out the early morning fishing trip.
