I've since dropped in several times for some amazing kundalini + sound classes and most recently their New Year's Day meditation class that was completely full! I love the location and the studio. It's very calm, clean, and well run. The owner/manager, Lindsay, is amazing and always remembers my name, which is amazing given my unique name! I love that I can drop in as my schedule permits and can check their schedule easily online. I appreciate the flexibility for the price. They have a big selection of classes from kundalini, yin, vinyasa, flow, somatic, sound, etc. and I look forward to trying different ones in 2025! I highly recommend this place for beginners or advanced practitioners. Namaste. Sat Nam!

I've tried several yoga studios, but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, none of them felt just…read moreright. As Yelper Hannah G perfectly put it, "With how saturated the yoga market is, it was hard for me to find a place that I connected with". For me, that place has turned out to be Sukha Yoga. Sure, Mark (co-founder) has no idea who I am--I've only taken his class once--but that single experience left a lasting impression. I attended his Saturday Bhakti Service: Flow, Meditation, and Sound, an 80 min class that collaborates an intentional vinyasa flow practice with mindfulness. For "busy" folks who struggle to slow down or are close-minded, this class (and maybe even this style of practice) might not be for you. As Mark's fists say, he certainly is a "GURU." He guides his class with intention and power, while also subtly weaving in his musical talents, playing several instruments and even singing, in a way that feels genuine and somehow not cringe. The class is structured, yet somehow freeing. Mark allows you to set your own pace during sun salutations, which feels like pure magic. The experience made me feel grounded and safe. I could have cried with how deeply content my soul felt. BONUS: If you love dogs, you'll probably find Mark's extremely well behaved mini doodle, Mai, practicing her down dog. If you don't, there's a door... NOTE: For first timers, it's located next door to Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co--easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

Another day, another new yoga studio. This time I found myself just off South Lamar at Sukha Yoga…read morefor a 6am practice. I arrived at the studio and it was still dark out. Finding the studio and parking was a bit difficult, but once I was inside it felt warm and inviting. There was a small waiting area with some seating which led right to the studio itself. Not huge, but cozy. The class started on time and the instructor took us through a well sequenced flow. It was powerful but far from overwhelming. The studio was supposed to be heated, but it's possible I was not near enough to an infrared light which kept me from getting a sweat in. After the class was over, the instructor invited me to join a small group for a Barton Springs plunge. Really appreciated the community building outside of class! Thanks again and I'll look forward to returning and trying out some other class styles!

The space is so cute and has a really relaxed, communal feel with social seating. There's such a peaceful energy here that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The person working was also incredibly sweet and genuine. You could really feel the warmth and positive energy they brought to the space. Such a lovely place to grab something delicious, relax, and soak in the good vibes.

A friend was kind enough to show me around, and I'm looking forward to experiencing more on a return. I love consideration of "third eye chakra," located in the center of the forehead and traditionally associated with intuition, imagination, and inner wisdom - also anatomically aligned with our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brains responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation. This space feels peaceful, bringing thoughtful consideration of all of the connections within and between us. On the lighter side, "cacao" makes me think of an old Portlandia episode that cracks me up, aside from my delight in any form of chocolate. The Mayan Cacao is sweetened to specification and perfectly spicy but rich and balanced - a treat enjoyed morning or afternoon, without the guilt of dessert.

This place became home for me for a month or so while I was in Austin during the holidays. The vibe…read morehere is different from many other yoga studios - it is calm, friendly, easy-going. My nervous system felt relaxed and welcomed. They provide all the equipment, including mats. Check-in is easy, the room is beautiful and large, and the best part - their instructors. They draw in a community of teachers who share that mindful easeful style of teaching. There's no rush, no push, no competition. My body felt great after a few weeks of classes - no aches or pains, no strain, but moving with greater flexibility and more mobile. I also loved the Breathwork classes with Anais, who is also an incredible tarot reader, the sound meditation with Meg where it felt like every cell of my body was resetting, and the somatic dance class with Liz (the owner), which was healing and nurturing. Each class felt like a warm hug of community and from a place of care.

The Texas Yoga Retreat is a few days of exhaling. If you are someone who has fantasies about…read moreslowing down for a few days, you'll want to sign up for this retreat. Not only do you get exposure to some of the greatest yoga teachers (as I learned) but you get a chance to understand the benefits of meditation as well as being in tune with your body. I had the pleasure of knowing the people behind Texas Yoga Retreat and doing some media work on their behalf. That said, this review is the truth as I know it. The wiz behind the curtain matters when it comes to most ventures and this is a positive thing for the Texas Yoga Retreat. The people behind the retreat are in touch with their mission as well as esteemed by their community for the work they do. (I sound like I'm writing for them right now but my impression of them is that high). I highly recommend this retreat to everyone - men and women, yoga folks or not. As someone who does yoga on a whim, I was a little nervous about attending a retreat since I hadn't experienced any formal training. I was pleased to find out that the experience was more than comfortable. The retreat draws people from all over the world - with varied levels of experience in yoga. As I mentioned, even novices can attend this retreat but the same is true of expert yoga enthusiasts and instructors. In fact, I met a lot of instructors during the retreat I attended. It probably helps that the coordinators of this retreat are the owners of Texas Yoga, which is a renowned yoga certification program, so they do a good job of providing instructors and topics that benefit people at different levels of expertise. Don't expect to just be on a yoga mat the whole time - or even most of the time. While there, you get options of which classes you wish to attend so you have a lot of say over the experience. Some classes focus on technique while others provide overall understanding. I was able to finally take a class on Ayurveda which was something I was very interested in learning about. I also had some amazing yoga classes. The food is good but definitely healthy - which is a nice compliment to the experience. There's a wonderful table behind the eatery that faces out to a field. I highly recommend you have your meal out there. It's a great place to zone out if you want to process the experience or bring your new yoga friends and just enjoy the scenery. Speaking of scenery, Barsana Dham is Austin's first Hindu temple but this event is not affiliated with a religion. It's a very beautiful setting for the retreat. In addition to enjoying the classes, people and healthy food, you can tour the grounds which are just gorgeous. It's highly recommended you stay on campus for the full experience, including get togethers at night. I opted to drive in each day so I can't speak to staying there but I hear it's a good experience that allowed people to connect with other retreat goers. To sum it up for you: this retreat was so amazing it made me think about getting certified one day. We'll see what happens with that but one thing is for sure - Texas Yoga Retreat is an A+ experience.

Where else could I have met Rama Vernon, a founder of Yoga Journal and the Yoga Alliance? My most amazing moment of the retreat was when she looked me in the eyes and affirmed to me that I am yoga... There were so many other teachers that made my experience complete. These yogis don't put themselves on pedestals and hide behind microphones. They are accessible and eat their lunches with the rest of us. We really are one. If you're a teacher and interested in continuing education, this high caliber trainings offered here will not disappoint. From Ayurveda to yoga therapy, there are highly skilled professionals that can enhance your existing knowledge. The website at www.texasyogaretreat.com lists the classes and instructors in detail. Not a teacher? Not skinny and flexible? There were all kinds of people at the retreat. If you want to attend, then it's for you. I didn't know what it would be like to study on the grounds of an ashram, but it was like being at a really peaceful hotel where everyone dresses very moderately. The devotees who live on the property are very kind and smile when they see you. The food that they prepare for our meals is amazingly good!! Thank you to the staff who pulled this retreat together, from the devotees to Charles and Ellen. You make a difference in a profound way to many people, including me.

I've been to this space several times through class pass in the last few years, so that is awesome…read morethat they accept that. I'm one that needs a lot of variety to keep on track with working out. I went to an 8:30 AM slow flow class this morning. I'm not a morning person, but I knew with how stiff and in pain I'd been feeling the past week, I needed to go to yoga earlier in my day. This class was perfect! The instructor was so kind and warm. Cued each movement and was just such a soothing presence. The class was the perfect size...everyone had enough space to do the movements and not feel packed in. You could tell the class was made up of all stages of life, yoga abilities, and body types... definitely a loving and inclusive space. Bonus: they have a coffee shop inside their beautiful lobby area. And yes, I rewarded myself with a coffee after a great morning yoga session. They have other cute gifts for sale through the yoga studio and also some really cute swag for sale. This space was previously called Mantra Yoga Collective. From looking at their website... I believe it's still the same ownership, they just have changed their name to The Retreat.
