Shefa is wonderful. All the teachers are great. Sean Dereck is funny, plays fantastic music and touches on the broader spiritual aspects of yoga in a way that is meaningful. I love that there are no teachers here that speak in platitudes, with the kind of stuff that makes you internally roll your eyes. They are all authentic and they all offer a great practice. read more

I love Shefayoga. Unfortunately we moved away from the Greenlake area and I haven't found a studio that compares. I really liked the times that Shefa offered and I really liked the type of yoga they offered too. There wasn't one instructor that I didn't really really like going to, they were all super great! Go here!!! read more

I don't love yoga, and am not usually able to connect with the words and practice of the instructor, but this class was different. The movements were seamlessly connected with postures that created a continuous flow throughout the class; and the warmth and inspiring message of the teacher (Kristen) was enlivening. The class also challenged me physically. This class was one of my favorite yoga classes I have take in Seattle! So glad I discovered this studio on Yelp! read more

What an amazing experience. The space and instructors are incredible. As a visitor to Seattle I am so fortunate to have been recommended Shefayoga. Mat rentals are the best I've ever experienced traveling and it has quickly become a must do experience when I'm in town. If I lived here, this would easily be my regular studio. read more

Shefayoga studio is rad, very welcoming and full of good vibes. The teachers are knowledgeable and offer lots of options for poses. The yin class blisses me out and the vinyasa will make you feel like a rubber band (in the best way possible). Everyone is welcoming and joyful. It's the closest studio for me but even if it wasn't I would make a special trip to get to this peaceful and airy slice of paradise. read more

Great studio in the Roosevelt area. I love the community vibe. Sara's Saturday classes are my favorite. She is great at motivating and focusing the class and I like how she talks us through trying challenging poses. read more

What a beautiful space! I anticipated this place being awesome (as it's got the inherent recipe for success branching from already-awesome studio: Haute Yoga of Queen Anne) but I was pleasantly surprised to find a few cool things I wasn't expecting: 1) great lighting - this is not always easy to find at studios in Seattle 2) a ton of locker/storage/changing space 3) ample parking. I did expect and found, an assortment of upper-caliber teachers and a friendly, professional front desk staff. This place is great and located right around the corner from a killer smoothie place (Thrive- don't miss it)! read more

I'm in love. The studio is beautiful. The front desk staff is welcoming (and so forgiving for every time I forget my check-in card). And the instructors? Amazing. Hilary and Jackie are two of my favorite yoga instructors. (this is saying a lot--I used to instruct fitness classes, so I'm a judgy giraffe when it comes to fitness classes.) Both are down-to-earth, attentive, and knowledgable. The music selection has made this studio a keeper for me. All the instructors do a superb job of selecting the perfect music for the class. You get anything from worldly, flute-in-the-wind-with-monks-chanting to OMG-I-can't-hold-this-pose-because-I-want-to-twerk-to-Yonce music. Golden experience here. Highly recommended! read more

I've gone to numerous yoga studios all around Seattle and I can honestly say that this is the best one. I went last Saturday and our instructor Sarah was amazing on every level. She was super friendly, energetic, positive, playful and funny! The session was a perfect balance, not overly intense, but definitely not a breeze. I learned new breathing techniques while pushing my body to limits I had not known. Thank you Sarah, you have a customer for life! read more

Wonderful yoga studio. The facilities are very clean and all the instructors are very knowledgeable. Most classes are very well paced and help you to not only have a great workout but unwind from daily stress. They seem to have a style of "guided meditation" through the classes as well, which ads in an emotional/mental element to the practice, which I love. read more

It is the yoga studio that inspires me and surprises me the most. The movements are very creative. The only drawback is it can be really packed sometimes. read more

Great instructors. Beautiful and clean space. Yoga mats available to rent. Street parking is a bit hars during peak hours.

I tried Shefayoga based on their great student special ($25 for 2 weeks unlimited) & their close proximity to the u district. I loved the quaint studio & the instructors were all wonderful & had their own unique teaching style. I loved how motivational Karina was. I'm a fan of power vinyasa classes in general & all of the classes I took here left me sore for a few days, I loved it. read more

Just took my first hot yoga class ever with Leah, the owner. What can I say? I'm hooked! Leah was warm, lovely and nurturing to everyone's differences and abilities. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Love, love love this yoga studio! The instructors really know how to teach a good yoga class for each level! This is real authentic yoga, each instructor is different in their practice. Its so refreshing and motivating to go knowing your in for a great workout set to your level. Leave the stress at the door and reward yourself by feeling good at the end of your hour yoga session! read more

Great! Love the space, love the instructors and the classes. Clean, friendly and always fun!

I am such a fan of Shefayoga! I love taking Leah's classes in particular. They are challenging and always different so it's impossible to get bored or complacent. The front desk gals are super welcoming and the studio is clean. Highly recommend! read more

I have really enjoyed taking classes at Shefayoga Roosevelt. They keep the room a perfect temperature for hot yoga and there seems to always be enough room for everyone. The instructors have all been wonderful. Each class is different and I really appreciate uniqueness in each instructor. read more

There is a wide variety of classes and times. Great place to try your first hot yoga class!! Really enjoying my experience here

I really enjoy this studio and majority of the teachers who work here. The front staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions, and will always greet you when you enter the studio and say goodbye when you leave. They also start to remember your name after you've been coming to the studio for a couple weeks which is nice. The owner is also very friendly and does everything she can to make sure there is a feeling of community. For example, she recently made a tea area so teachers and students can have free tea before and/or after class and socialize. They also provide yoga tune up balls which the instructors sometimes show how to use during restorative yoga classes which are AWESOME. Using them during one of the classes convinced me to go buy my own since they essentially allow you to massage out your muscles, but are able to get deeper than a foam roller. In addition, the studio has lockers for use along with 3 changing rooms. I wish there was a larger area by the lockers though since it can get really crowded after class as everyone is trying to get their stuff out of the locker. They also have really nice facilities which always seem to be clean (including the bathroom!). However, I really really wish that they had showers available. At Corepower yoga in Capitol Hill they had showers available in the locker room which makes it really convenient to go to a yoga class during a break between classes, or during lunch for those who work. In addition, then you don't have to drive all the way home all sweaty. I've had friends also comment about how they wished shefayoga had showers available. I understand though that it's a rather small studio and they've made the most of their space. However, if they are able to upgrade the space I really hope they add showers! Shefayoga also has an awesome water fountain that you can use to fill your water bottle with, which I really love since it always has cold and clean tasting water (sadly a rarity). Now to comment on the teachers at shefayoga. I've been to every teacher's class before, except for the new teachers (Sarah and Angela) and love every single one of them except for Janna (pronounced Ja-nae). Janna is very condescending during her classes and will go around and correct people who aren't doing a pose absolutely perfectly. The problem isn't the correction (I love getting individual help from teachers), but it's more the way that she goes about correcting people- she does it in a very condescending way and often will correct things that the person can't currently change (due to flexibility or strength). However, that is not how yoga should be- it's about self improvement. Yes, maybe that girl is not able to get her feel completely flat while doing downward facing dog, but that is what she is here for. She is here to improve herself, and the longer she practices the closer she will get to being able to have her feet flat. I know personally I wasn't able to get my feet flat when I first started yoga. However, in this instance, Janna went and corrected this one poor girl a good 5+ times and kept telling her "You need to get your feet flat!" and tried to force her feet flat. This was not helping though since obviously the girl was physically unable to do so. Instead, it just ended up embarrassing her since Janna kept announcing to the class for everyone to get their feet flat during downward facing dog, when obviously we all knew she was talking about that one girl. The few times I have gone to her class she seems to have favorites that she constantly praises and is condescending to most of the other people in her class, often singling people out and loudly telling them what they are doing wrong. She really doesn't provide a comfortable atmosphere for people to learn and grow in, and as such has caused me to completely avoid her class at all costs. I've also had friends who go to the studio say the exact same thing- Janna is very condescending and they try to avoid her class. Though, just because there is one bad teacher at the studio does not mean you should avoid trying it out. All the other teachers here are absolutely amazing- they are supportive, have great classes which are always different (so things never get boring), extremely friendly, and always willing to take suggestions. If you are looking for a new studio to try you should definitely give shefayoga a chance! In addition, they are often offering Groupon deals where you can try their studio for a much lower rate. So really, there is no reason not to give this studio a chance. They have awesome teachers, a nice studio, everyone is very friendly, and you can even try the studio for a low price. read more

Love Shefa - great studio, great teachers, very relaxing atmosphere. Only wish there was better parking!

Love Shefayoga! Before joining Shefa I went to yoga sporadically at best, but the classes and instructors here made yoga a part of my daily/weekly routine. The class times are great, the instructors are super personal, and the studio is clean. Over the past 3 months I have been able to feel myself getting stronger, and my yoga has improved immensely. Would definitely recommend! read more

I enjoy that I can come to the yoga studio and keep to myself or engage with others. I have been coming to the studio for a few weeks. I think it's a place I could find myself growing into and being a part of more. For now, it provides me with a soft & warm landing spot. read more

this was my first yoga studio. I thought the class size was good, but I felt like the instructors moved a little too fast for me (which could have definately been because I was a beginner). Overall good experience with yoga, but would recommend going if you have already done some yoga (or go to beginner class) - I think I risked getting injured by trying to move through poses too quickly. read more

I am in town for a work retreat and wanted to check out a yoga class while I had some free time so I went to a class taught by Alysha. I have been practicing yoga for a number of years and have had all types of teachers and I have to say her class was amazing. I wish I was staying here for a bit longer to take a few more classes. The studio was nice and the community was friendly. read more

Great Saturday morning class. Leah is a wonderful teacher who gives good feedback and timely adjustments while keeping the flow of the class consistent. read more

One of the most authentic yoga experiences available in Seattle. Highly qualified, creative teaching styles. There is a mirror, there is some music but these aspects are used in a supportive as opposed to distracting manner (Urban yoga spa, Live Love Flow etc). The teaching staff has an incredible amount of experience and the vibe/facility is top notch. read more

I love this studio. It's welcoming and friendly. I find the classes challenging and interesting - not the same old formula. And, it's not just a physical challenge, but a mental one. I try to come whenever I can. read more

Great place. Easy to find, friendly front desk staff, great teachers. Strength with teaching to the middle of the class and creating unique and interesting atmospheres. My only criticism is that the classes can get overly crowded, lessening the experience. Perhaps there could be a cap to how many can enroll per class to avoid this problem. read more

Great studio and great staff. I have never liked (hot) yoga, but now I look forward to my Thursday sessions with Meghan Smith; she is such a skilled instructor and has made it easier to get into class. I appreciate her positive energy and I can tell she is highly educated in the field. Namaste! read more

Loving this simple, clean, well-designed yoga studio. Everything from booking classes online, the staff, the classes have been very professional and a great experience. read more

Super nice, clean studio! All the teachers are great and the classes I've taken have all been great! Highly recommend!

I joined this yoga studio the day after I moved to Seattle (two weeks ago), and it has been great so far! First of all, can't beat the value of $75 for 3 months unlimited yoga available through a special deal on Groupon. In terms of the studio itself, the room is "just right" warm temperature and humidity and the room feels cozy and spacious. All of the instructors have dependably delivered a great power yoga class, while still including variety and a mix of styles within each of their practices. I would highly recommend Shefayoga to anyone wishing to grow in their yoga practice. read more

I love this studio. I have been practicing yoga on and off for 8 years and recently moved to Seattle. The vibe at Shefayoga is a nice intersection of physical and mental challenge. I have begun yoga again to help balance my body and mind after the birth of my second baby, I feel rejuvenated after a couple weeks of attending Shefayoga. The studio is nice and clean (doesn't smell even given all the sweat happening). This is hot yoga, but not uncomfortably hot. I've only been able to experience a couple instructors so far, but both are wonderful. The owner, Leah, teaches from a place of wisdom. I love the inspiration and intention she gives at the beginning of class and the sequencing truly flows. Having the early morning classes is key for my schedule right now. Location is easy to get too, parking at the Park and Ride is key during busier times. But usually I can park in front of the studio for the early morning classes. I'm so thrilled I found this place. read more

Amazing studio with incredible instructors and staff! Power Vinyasa with Alexis is one of my favorites, but everyone and every class is awesome at Shefayoga! read more

I love this studio. I've been several times and have never had a bad experience. The studio is hot but not so hot that you want to die, and instructors often incorporate meditative aspects to the practice. Highly recommend it! read more

I started practicing at shefayoga entirely because Puja teaches here. I've taken her classes on and off for many years and she is still my favorite teacher I've ever practiced with. She has such a warm spirit and a beautiful way of encouraging a multidimensional practice - focused but playful, challenging but non-striving, always curious, open, present. read more

Very clean and inviting studio, with a convenient location. I've found the weekday afternoon classes to be top notch on my lunch. But I've been practicing yoga for 15 years and hot yoga is no joke! Bring plenty of water and don't be a hero - take a break if you need to! read more

Great space. Clean and beautiful. Very helpful front desk staff and Vanessa G. taught an AWEEESSSOOMMMEEE class.

This area was screaming for a yoga community, just what the dr ordered and I can't wait to see it grow. The studio is brand spanken new and beautiful . A wonderful variety of teachers, something for everyone. Really gorgeous space and teachers dedicated to encouraging community and growth. Great class times and styles of heated vinyasa, hot hatha and restorative. I really love all the teachers, whether you are just starting out or a seasoned practitioner they have created a perfect blend to support your practice. They also have great deals on packages! Also a great spot for a yoga date as there are so many business within walking distance. Shefa meas abundance and man do they have alot to give. I recommend giving ShefaYoga a go, you wont be disappointed. read more
