Ive been attending Suzes (Samatone) yoga for about 6 years. I consider this yoga studio a safe haven of truth and healing. I am a wife, and mother of three. My life is very hectic and stressful at times and having a place to run to for mental and physical healing is a God given blessing. I read some of these other reviews and I couldn't believe what some of the "negative' people were saying. You cant judge a book when you only read the front cover or skim through the pages. Yoga practice is a relationship with your own body and learning about yourself mentally and physically. Ive tried several other yoga studios in the Dallas area and non of them compare to Suzes. I like a workout that is intense, powerful, strengthening and healing. Your body feels different everyday so how can you judge a studio by attending one or two classes? I have many thanks to give the staff and studio for helping me through the years. This place has been such a blessing to me that I now bring my 15 year old daughter to the classes and she is loving it. I question what the gripe is about the vocal noise in the class? I would rather get my frustration out in an intense work out rather than keeping it all buried inside and creating disease in my body. If you dont vocalize your pain appropriately then it comes out in dangerous ways...(like taking your anger out ,venting to others and disease) I use to have painful back problems before I started attending these classes. I dont even think of my back anymore because its strong and healed through yoga. I put up with enough bullsh*t from people out in the world and my yoga studio is the LAST place i want to hear pompous stuck up attitudes. This studio is real, honest, innovative and healing.

I've attended Suze's studio for 8 years. I travel extensively & enjoy many styles of yoga practices all over the world. And, I always return home - so grateful that this amazing studio & practice is in my back yard. I work with a company that (every year) highlights "the best" in various businesses throughout the country. Every year, the sheer volume of life-affirming, positive "personal testimonies" from her students - puts her studio in the Top 5 of the region. (you can read them for yourself at - http://alist.wfaa.com/...). Suze's heart, wisdom, knowledge & experience permeate her teachers, staff & students. Over the years, she has encouraged us to experience all styles of yoga - sharing with us that ALL styles are good - that the meaning of yoga is - to yoke / union / balance / harmony. This studio/practice is an extraordinary heated, power yoga practice - and so much more. It is in this moment (as I type) that I fully grasp the greatest gift she has compassionately shared with all of us - being true to ourselves! This is a practice that everyone can experience - the teachers offer modifications for those newer to the practice or healing through an injury, and challenges the most-seasoned practitioners to their most-desired level. Everyone feels safe to practice 'where-they-are' that day. I am grateful and blessed to have this wonderful practice in my life - consistently helping me maintain health and balance - and I highly recommend Suze's studio to everyone. read more

A COMPLETE review of Suze's website gives a modest description of the unprecedented experience you will have - AWESOME. It IS heated, not hot (although more students will kick it up a bit, but the gift of exhaust gently modifies it). Just like the home page says it is 'Dallas' original POWER YOGA' - i.e. think flow, strength, stamina and the PLUS! is the overwhelming sense of release and stress relief you'll achieve. Teachers are eager to help you learn modifications if you are RESPONSIBLE enough to ask for it in addition to their standard modification callouts as well as the inspiration to get out of your comfort zone, yet AVOIDING PAIN . This studio is so amazing in that it encapsulates the gifts of Ashtanga, Viniyoga, Iyengar with a splash of Bikram. You are constantly empowered to get out of the class what YOU put into it - as yoga should be - realization of self, not comparison to others. If it 'clicks', it clicks, if not, blessings on your yoga path. Definitely have fun getting out of your safety zone experiencing 'sound and vibration' - Deepak Chopra, Seane Corne, Morrissette and many others, ALL value this healing power. With so many classes, babysitting and talented teachers one could almost feel guilty for getting such an awesome economic value - the return on investment is PRICELESS. Guess that's why Suze's studio has been GROWING for over 12 years, quality lasts. Give it a try, first time is FREE!! read more

Amazing!!! I have been practicing yoga at Suze Curtis's Dynamic Power Yoga Plus for a little over a year now and the classes never cease to amaze me. Upon starting my yoga practice, I would hear testimonies from other people who worked out there that would involve statements such as "it has completely changed my life" and "I feel alive after i practice." Of course, being me, I was hesitant and skeptical of going, much less, allowing the class to "change my life." I can honestly say, after a year, I am a completely different person than I was when I started working out there. The classes offer so much self-expresion through voice and movement. It is unlike anything I have experienced before. I have previously taken yoga classes at other studios/gyms and have never felt the release that I feel when I go to Dynamic Power Yoga Plus. Just when I thought it could not get any better, I started a new class called "Trance/Vini-Flow." I am in love! I walked out of the class feeling like a 7 year old who had just pulled all the cushions off of the sofa and jumped on them for an hour. And honestly, where else are you going to get to experience something like that? It is incredible! My skeptical attitude has been proven wrong and now I am one of those people saying yoga has "completely changed my life!" Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I have been coming to DPYP for almost 5 years. I started regularly as a college student at UTD and went almost everyday for an entire year. In the past 2 years, I have moved to Rockwall, Texas which is about 45 minutes away. I am not able to go near as often and that has been tough. I have tried 5 or 6 different studios to find the same 'feel' I have at Suze's. It does not exist anywhere else. At one (very popular) studio I was addressed after class for not having proper yoga etiquette in that I rested during a few of the poses. Ridiculous. Yoga is a practice and at Suze's I progressed and saw results. I was in the best shape of my life when I attended regularly. Now I go to de-stress from the week and get my mind straight. It is powerful, uplifting, and one of my favorite places in the world. I felt it necessary to leave a review as I feel that some of the people leaving reviews are missing the point of yoga. It is personal and unique for each person in the room. If you are there to just do a few poses and leave then this is not the place for you. If you are there to improve spiritually, mentally, and physically then DPYP is the most amazing place to practice. Suze's is not the cookie cutter style of yoga you find across Dallas. It is different, it is challenging, and it is a full body workout. read more

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude, that's how I feel about Suze's studio! I started about 4 years ago when I was looking for something more from my workouts. As a personal trainer I thought it might be a nice change of pace. Wow! I was hooked from my first class. The physical aspect is amazing, the best hot, power yoga in the area, but the mental, emotional and spiritual side is truly what keeps me coming back for more. Suze teaches students to release by sound and vibration, and this is such a powerful tool! I know it has made a HUGE difference in my life by keeping me balanced, and I continue to see positive growth in my life because of it. With an open heart there is no way you won't leave feeling like you moved your body & soul! While maintaining consistency, each class is still it's own special experience. All the teachers are wonderful and unique in their own way. ALL LEVELS are welcome here with modifications given by all instructors. This studio is special, and that's the reason Suze has such a following. Even teachers at other yoga studios frequent her classes because there is nothing like it in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. She knows what she is doing, and for that again I am forever grateful. Try a class and you'll see! read more

So the facts are that you can experience 26 classes per week, ~75-90 minutes each in a heated room. The studio offers changing areas, shower accommodations, babysitting, massage therapy, and a yoga clothing boutique. Being a novice at yoga with only eleven years of experience, I have enjoyed practicing various styles from coast to coast and all over the world. The style taught at this studio is based on hatha yoga principles whereby you can flow through each pose guided by an instructor who will encourage you to be true to yourself. For every time you step onto the mat, its a new beginning a new you, and however you describe yourself, as a seasoned practitioner, a newbie, or no labels at all, the energy of this studio is full of encouragement for you to "BE" and to flow through each asana according to your beingness and to listen to your body, your intuition in each breath. And as you inhale and exhale, it is for you to choose how deep into a pose you want to BE. All yoga is an experience and each "union" varies from one journey to the next. If you enjoy flowing in a heated room lead by "teachers" who guide you through each pose with a spirit of love, you will enjoy the experience at Dynamic Power Yoga. read more

I have been to many yoga studios throughout the Dallas/Ft Worth, Houston, and Austin area. As much as I learned and enjoyed those studios, I didn't connect with them the way I have with Suze's studio. Suze's studio offers a home not only to practice yoga, but a place to heal and practice letting go. Within a year and a half of being with Suze, I was able to get out of my smoking/drinking.etc..lifestyle and then some..Trying to gain weight was something I fought with for a long time and as soon as I was ready to give up, I gained 25 lbs and maintained a healthy and solid 110 lbs. NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. That's what Suze's studio is about, making the impossible...possible. Suze has a line of awesome instructors! You never know what to expect going into class, they have great adjustments and modifications and keep you focus while still having fun. Suze is like NO other instructor I have practice with. She knows each of her students.... their strengths and weaknesses...and uses that knowledge to help us grow. ..I have a deep appreciation for Suze and her studio, and in so many ways she has TRULY changed my life. read more

This is, by far, my favorite yoga studio in Dallas. I started practicing here over a year ago and have not been able to find anything that has had such an immediate and powerful result on my body. The studio has unique, soft wooden-looking floors. It gives a nice fung-shui feel to the studio while providing a softer foundation to attempt more poses without fear of hurting yourself. The studio is alive with colors and positive energy. The classes are a hot, power yoga (vinyasa flow). Suze has created a system that allows people to sculpt their bodies in a unique way, by providing a consistency to each yoga sequence. She rotates the sequences so that different parts of the body receive focus and attention on different class days. Overall, it is the best workout I have ever taken part in. After two months or regular practice, my friends were commenting on the lines I developed from such an intense, core workout. I am stronger than I have ever been and my body looks amazing. I would recommend this studio to anyone who loves yoga AND desires an intense workout. It is the perfect marriage of both :) read more

Well, i have just recently discovered yelp ...but have been going to Suze's yoga studio for 6 years! I never thought about sharing thoughts in such a way .... but for me this yoga practice helped me get through some pretty tough life transitions...deaths , layoff, etc... it has been a constant, a mental , spiritual , meditation if you will... I love the freedom of expression and the physical sense of well being i have when i complete a class. Suze's classes are always pretty packed but ... the other teachers have been trained and are also certified yoga instructors ...they reflect the spirit of the studio and I feel completely confident that they know what they are doing during a class. I read a review from a person that said they were a yoga teacher and she had all kinds of criticism... what ever...every one is different, i have been to so many different yoga studios in town and all are different ! Its whatever works for you and where your spirit feels connected and replenished.... just travel the path and find your place.... this is my place and i love it! read more

Really loving this studio. Warm, inviting environment and beautiful relaxing space. Friendly, helpful people. I've read the other reviews and they're all true. Great yoga, more traditional, deeper practice that's challenging, invigorating and calming - relieves stress, feels great. Best workout in years - good variety, never boring. Experienced teachers. The cleanliness and effort behind making things fresh and sanitized is really appreciated. Beautiful, unique (soft floor, affirmation ceiling) practice room, plenty of space for comfort and the classes are streamed (better than Zoom) in case I get stuck in traffic and can't make it. Really loving this studio, highly recommend. read more

I have been attending Suze Curtis yoga studio off and on for years. I live rather far from her studio so I have tried other studios. Suze Curtis is hands down the best yoga studio I have ever been too. When I am stressed out and my spirits are low, I know if I make it to class I will feel great mentally and physically. I like the way the instructors walk around and help you get into poses. I like the music and I think the recorded tapes are great because they allow the instructor to walk around and help you get into the poses correctly. Anyone who does yoga knows that if you are not in the pose right you may not get the benefits you came for. Keep up the good work!! Krissy read more

This is such a beautiful style of yoga. Suze's dynamic personality is perfectly inspiring and she has a true gift that is RARE among yoga teachers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and you leave the studio feeling totally uplifted, empowered, and ready for more. The on-site babysitting is THE BEST. What other yoga studio can a momma-yogi go to and practice while their kiddos are in the next room?? The light up coasters (like in restaurants) will alert me if I'm needed. It's been total peace of mind and body! Both of my kids (ages 5 and almost 2) have been practically raised at the studio! I enjoy checking out other studios, but SUZE'S DPYP is my yoga home. read more

I have been a member of samatone yoga for at least 5 years. Before joining this studio, I was visiting my chiropractor 1 to 4 times a month for an old neck injury. I never thought I could do yoga due to injury. But I was desperate for some kind of relief. For the past few years I have been virtually pain free. I have only been to my chiropractor 3 times in 3 years. This studio has been a blessing for my physical and mental health. Samatone yoga also helped me surpass my weight plateau I was unable to conquer doing weights and cardio. Thank you for everything Suze, you are amazing! read more

I have been attending Suze's for a little over a year. I was very nervous at first-thinking that this was not going to be a workout as much as stretching. However, my booty was kicked and I left feeling a calm invigoration (I know that is an oxymoron). I have torn ligaments up and down my spine, and I have had YEARS of physical therapy... and I am only in my early twenties!!!!!! Yet, after a few months of practicing at Suze's my pain has lessened and I have discontinued my therapy. I am not claiming that yoga can heal everything, but it has benefitted me tremendously. :) read more

Samatone Yoga is a phenomenal studio, led by incredibly seasoned, compassionate instructors. Practicing with Suze and her team has been a critical part of my recovery from significant health challenges. I am stronger, more mindful and far more resilient as a result of weekly sessions at Samatone. From the moment I walked in, Suze showed a true interest in supporting my health goals and made the practice approachable to me (as a total beginner). I visit other studios when I travel for work, and they all pale in comparison. Samatone has truly set the standard in every way. read more

What a wonderful yoga studio! The instructor was great, she pushes you just enough to further your practice while adding a little humor to keep you going. They have infrared heat and padded flooring, which is gentle on the joints. The power flow is advanced, but still available to everyone no matter where they are in their yoga journey. Don't forget the sense of community you get when you walk in, it seems like everyone embraces each other. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy all the benefits of yoga they have to offer! read more

I absolutely love this place! I had very limited yoga knowledge before I visited. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm and welcoming energy. The instructors are so knowledgeable and truly passionate about what they do. They take the time to explain each pose, offering helpful adjustments and guidance tailored to your bodies needs. It's clear that they care deeply about their students' well-being, both physically and mentally. Highly recommend! read more

I have practiced at Suze's for over 15 years and it's such a joy. It's a great studio for both seasoned yogis and those placing their mat on the floor for the very first time. Suze and all of her instructors do such a great job of explaining each pose and then offering modifications to simplify the pose or to make you challenge yourself. I have tried other studios when out of town and realized what a gift Suze and all of the instructors are. read more
