Really enjoyed a recent class with Kennedi at Mind the Mat's Clarendon location (on Fairfax Drive…read morein Arlington). You can tell she has a dance background, and it shows in how well she paces the class and how clear her cueing is. She paid close attention to form throughout, which I always appreciate in a pilates class, and her music selection was great too. Looking forward to catching her class again! The location is also a real plus -- right in the Clarendon-Ballston corridor, equidistant from both the Clarendon and Virginia Square metro stops. And the 4pm Sunday time slot is great: it lets you sleep in on the weekend and still get your workout in. Starting the week having already met an exercise goal really helps me set the right tone going into Monday.

Over the holidays I tried a hot pilates class with friends, so I started giving a few studios a try. Initially, when I saw Mind the Mat offered a HAWT Pilates for Beginners, I was ESTATIC. However upon further review of the HAWT Pilates class offering, the description said the class wasn't really for beginners. So sadly I opted not to enroll in any classes BUT THEN(!!) MTM had the awesome idea to offer a beginner version and I enrolled immediately (at least I think it's fairly new)! When I arrived at the studio there were multiple classes going on and the "lobby" area was full of classgoers coming and going into various classes. The beginner instructor, Erika, called for all newbies to head over to the studio where class was offered - which was great because there was no front desk staff. Once in the room you were immediately embraced with the muggy temperature that hot classes are known for. I put my items into a free cubby and started setting up. This class was completely full so we were all comfortably close. Erika came around and checked us in as we started setting up so that class could begin on time. The class itself was AMAZING. Although lots of classes sometimes say they are beginner friendly, it can be hard to learn the fundamentals. What I loved about beginner HAWT pilates is it really walked up through the different movements and taught us how to breathe correctly and what it means to scoop your belly. I can say with certainty I was doing it all wrong before! Although the class wasn't the most challenging it was EXCELLENT for beginners and is the perfect introduction to pilates. Erika was very friendly and was able to offer corrections to everyone and ensure you were truly learning. I can't say enough positive things about the class and studio! My only "negatives" are that 1. There is no water for purchase so should you forget a bottle you're out of luck and 2. I wish the beginner's class was offered on more days and times. Nonetheless I highly recommend the studio and have had a blast at the classes I have attended! Thanks Erika and MTM!

Georgia's Yoga classes are always a blast.

I've bounced around other studios but I consistently come back here even if I'm trying out another location (or another type of yoga). The classes are small and provide a great deal of individual attention and a lot of focus on alignment, which are all things I greatly value from a yoga class/instructor. As others mention, Wendy is phenomenal at what she does. Every other instructor I've had so far has also been very good.

Be advised that Mark does not teach pranayama (breath work) or meditation in his classroom, but this isn't because he would dismiss their benefits. When you practice with Mark, you're there to work, to build endurance, and become (I can't think of a better way to say it) incredibly super strong.

Over the holidays I tried a hot pilates class with friends, so I wanted to find one in the NOVA area to give a try. After doing some scrolling I found Sukha offered a hot mat pilates class and eagerly signed up. The day of the class there was a huge storm and it was raining hard but luckily class was not cancelled! I arrived about 10 minutes early and only the instructor and maybe the owner (or front desk staff was there). They didn't say much, but welcomed me and told me I could go put my stuff in the lockers around the corner. Ok - easy enough. A few minutes later when I came back to the lobby there was still no "students" there but they told me I could go in the room and get set up. Ok - easy enough. The studio was BEAUTIFUL and with a huge window overlooking the street it was very calming on a rainy day. Eventually the instructor came in and said we'd start soon. Ok - easy enough. However she mentioned the heat wasn't really working, so although it would be warm it wouldn't be a try hot Pilates environment. Ok - sad. At the start of class there were only 3 of us and a few people virtually attending. I'm not sure if it was because of the rain or other factors, but the class was way smaller than expected. Anyways, it allowed the instructor to give us a very personalized experience and made for a good first class with lots of opportunity for clear instruction. I will say this class was NOT for beginners. Having gone to a few more classes at other studios since then, a lot of the movements I was unable to do just because they were kind of advanced. Not a huge deal just worth noting. Overall I did have a good class but was a little disappointed on the temperature. I also would have appreciated more engagement from the instructor before or after class, since I am so new to Pilates, but meh. I got the workout I came for. I haven't visited Sukha again, just because it wasn't quite what I was looking for regarding class size and content. However as I continue to learn I certainly would visit again in the future because it was a gorgeous studio space! However it's hard to speak to the community or the staff because the day I came it was very low attendance, rainy, and semi-quiet.

I was SO hoping this would finally be a place that wouldn't be WARM or HOT yoga, I've been looking…read morefor just regular vinyasa or similar classes without heat. (Will totally take suggestions on where to find them!) First class: I was the only one in person in the whole studio, three people joined online. I had let the instructor know I was so happy I found a place finally that isn't heated and she welcomed me in. The studio itself is really nice, I was hoping this would be my new place. The class was set at 85, the room got to 82 degrees throughout the class. What was even more confusing is that I was just basically watching her talk to her laptop. I could have used adjustment (and even appreciate that if I'm not doing something right!) but she didn't break eye contact from the screen, and waited to end the online session when her laptop was closed to acknowledge me again. At the end I tried my best to understand and ask what happened with the heat, and she said it must have been a mistake in the settings, and asked me to please come back to her Thursday Vinyasa and assured me it wouldn't be warm and it was a mistake. Upon arrival Thursday, she was checking in someone in front of me and said "I hope you don't mind heat today!" And I asked about it and they said they changed their mind and I could do another slow-movement class that evening instead. I was already there and ready, so I left and didn't go back. As someone who can't tolerate the heat, I always look for that in the descriptions and don't practice where rooms are hot from previous sessions. I paid $40 for the intro special and wasn't able to have a good class, and something else really weird happened.... One day I had to reschedule, so I was trying to cancel (there's no number to the studio) and sent in an online form. I received an email that had a phone number, so when I called it the person (see photo) Ahmed answered and tried to get me to come to another studio, since he didn't work there any more. I reported that upon my first arrival and no one seemed to care. Such a bummer, major disconnect on what they say and what they do. Just odd interactions the whole time.

I've done similar style classes (Sculpt, sculpt & flow, etc.) at a number of different studios/companies and how Stephanie did it at this location really got me going in the best way!

Rundown: Class format: sculpt & flow Instructors: Stephanie, Meera, Kristen, Abby Rating: 5/5 for all instructors Facility: 4.9/5 - The only thing this location is missing is the very awesome tea bar that's located at the South Alexandria location. They have one here but I like the tea options better at the other. 12 minutes of yoga. 36 of strength training. 12 of yoga cool down? Whew. In a heated room? Incredible. Music has been great across classes. Stephanie was encouraging and her stories made class go faster. I loved how good of a workout this was. Stephanie was a great instructor. Meera might be my faveeeeee. Her playlist was popping, and she was really making the girls work with her workout. The sculpt portion targeted pretty much everything. I'm trying to focus on, so very appreciated. Kristen was also amazing. While hers felt a little more cardio than anything else, I could definitely feel some significant sculpting happening, and she's got great energy. Super encouraging and definitely challenging. Location is clean. They validate parking and everyone was nice. Even though there are no showers, I LOVED that the bathroom has just about everything you need for a quick refresh, including face wash. Looking forward to coming back.

The class is also great for beginners; I've always been more of a Pilates girl, but I've found that YogaSix more than suits my needs in terms of strengthening and toning. While the class tends to be mostly attended by women, I've seen plenty of men sign up as well. Classes are almost always full, so early signup and arrival is recommended. I wish that they had showers so that I could do these workouts in the morning before work, but that is more of a personal preference and not a critique of the studio by any means. I cannot recommend this place enough, as it's great for people at any stage in their fitness journey

I went to the 4:30 Levels 2/3 yoga class today with Jackie, and I was seriously disappointed. I chose a lower level class because it was a new studio, and I really wasn't feeling flexible today. The facility: large, perfect temperature, free mats/blocks/blankets/etc., nice design, free tea, locker rooms and bathrooms for men and women. A+ for all of those things. The first class is free, which was great. The class: The asanas were done with little to no guidance - sometimes the instructor didn't even model the pose, even though there were new students in the class. They were also done without any breathing guidance. The instructor simply suggested, halfway into the class, that we see how it feels to breath with our movements (which I was already doing on my own). For me, pranayama is one of the most important parts of the practice! She did help a few people adjust their poses, but it wasn't constant enough. Also, she asked us how we felt after a certain set of postures, which I thought was a waste of class time and something that she could have done at the end of the class. We did very few postures, and for those that only worked one side of the body, we weren't told when to switch sides. This resulted in many people spending five minutes in the posture working their left side and only one minute working their right side, for example. In my opinion, this is a studio for people who don't know what real yoga is/feels like. read more

The classes are the real deal with teachers with years of experience who know how to teach so that you learn to do yoga the right way, focusing on breathing, balance, flexibility, strength, and inner peace. There are so many great teachers with different styles and different class levels that you will want to try them all. In addition to a fantastic yoga studio, Sun & Moon is a community-oriented, warm, and inviting place. Among many others, check out Amir, Annie, Lisa, Carol, Vicki, Aysa, and Enid.

The flow of her class and the transition through poses is easy to follow and her explanation of the value of the positions makes the class enjoyable, relaxing and is something I look forward to every week. She has a calming effect on her classes and is always willing to adjust and advise poses to accommodate everyone in the class.

What a great find! - Restorative Yoga & Guided Meditation (Sunday PM): love, love, love this send off into the coming week! It's not a fitness-yoga class, but rather a health-and-wellness class. Beyond regularly scheduled classes, there are workshops. I have enjoyed every workshop I've attended and I've learned a lot of applicable knowledge and skills! "May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be safe and at ease." ‍

Alexandria, VA - I recently had a great experience with yoga when at a work conference and realized…read moreit was time to find a solid studio to take on a more regular practice. Ran across this studio in an office building close to Huntington Metro. Right now there's a fantastic new student offer - 14 days of unlimited yoga for $30. Such a great low risk way to check it out! Scheduling is super easy via the website. It even sends calendar reminders. One can take the Metro or drive as this location features plenty of free parking. Once you schedule you are issued the door code to enter the building. The fourth floor studio holds about 20 or so students comfortably. Classes are taught by the studio owner Sarah and a few other teachers. So far I've been to the foundations class twice. Sarah talks through each pose and walks around to check how people are doing. I appreciate the slower pace and the fact that she offer suggestions to either make a pose harder or easier if needed and also coaches on alignment. Each class ended with resting at the end. Sarah also played the singing bowls which I will be honest I find a bit uncomfortable on my ears but if others in the class dig it, who am I to say differently? The Wednesday class features a 30 minute meditation afterwards. In this class different types of meditation are explored. It's easy to see that Sarah really cares about her students. The studio is neat and tidy and overall very welcoming. Sarah finds a lot of joy in what she does and shares that joy with her students. In my most recent class she cooked up a batch of turmeric milk for students to taste. Pretty neat! When my 14 day new student offer expires I plan to purchase a class pack to make this a regular part of my fitness routine. I am grateful to have found this lovely studio.

I did the one week free trial and had a great zen time. I tried four different types of classes:…read moreYoga Sculpt, C2 Yoga, Core Restore, and CSX (Full Body). I really liked the instructor Ann who led my C2 class. She led us through basic yoga flows and also showed us how to do more challenging poses. I appreciated the personal feedback on my form. Yoga Sculpt classes seem to be the most popular at CorePower because it's HIIT style with weights, and it resembled some of the pilates classes I've done before. For traditional yoga, I really enjoyed C2 and Core Restore! The 2pm Core Restore class in Clarendon location is also free. I found both of them very meditative. The facility in Ballston is also very nice. There's 2 rooms (with around 20-30? available slots) and a nice changing area with showers and products you can use. I really enjoyed my experience with Corepower and will be back! FYI when you start the one week trial, you get 7 full days to take classes, starting from your 1st class, but if you're having issues with access to book online (it only lets you book a week out from the current day), I called CorePower. Their support number is very helpful!

I recently attended one of the free Community C1 classes and had a wonderful time. Billy, the instructor, fostered a safe and comfortable environment that made me less nervous about being so new to yoga. He was able to help me and many other classmates with our form in a very respectful and encouraging way. I am looking forward to my next class here.

I have yet to experience a class I don't love here. Sculpt & Flow here is top-tier. First, I came…read morefor a Sculpt & Flow class with Stephanie and really enjoyed it. I've done similar style classes (Sculpt, sculpt & flow, etc.) at a number of different studios/companies and how Stephanie did it at this location really got me going in the best way! I've since taken class with multiple folks and they've all been great! Rundown: Class format: sculpt & flow Instructors: Stephanie, Meera, Kristen, Abby Rating: 5/5 for all instructors Facility: 4.9/5 - The only thing this location is missing is the very awesome tea bar that's located at the South Alexandria location. They have one here but I like the tea options better at the other. 12 minutes of yoga. 36 of strength training. 12 of yoga cool down? Whew. In a heated room? Incredible. Music has been great across classes. Stephanie was encouraging and her stories made class go faster. I loved how good of a workout this was. Stephanie was a great instructor. Meera might be my faveeeeee. Her playlist was popping, and she was really making the girls work with her workout. The sculpt portion targeted pretty much everything. I'm trying to focus on, so very appreciated. Kristen was also amazing. While hers felt a little more cardio than anything else, I could definitely feel some significant sculpting happening, and she's got great energy. Super encouraging and definitely challenging. Location is clean. They validate parking and everyone was nice. Even though there are no showers, I LOVED that the bathroom has just about everything you need for a quick refresh, including face wash. Looking forward to coming back. Also, out of the three locations I've been to across Alexandria and Arlington, I would say that this one definitely is my favorite.

I absolutely LOVE this studio. The staff is so friendly, and the instructors are great. You are…read moreexpected to bring your own yoga mats, and they also have mats available for rental or purchase. This studio also provides towels (including cold towels) and has a fill bottle station for water. I've only ever taken the yoga sculpt classes at this location, and this is the perfect workout to add to my weekly rotation. The class is also great for beginners; I've always been more of a Pilates girl, but I've found that YogaSix more than suits my needs in terms of strengthening and toning. While the class tends to be mostly attended by women, I've seen plenty of men sign up as well. Classes are almost always full, so early signup and arrival is recommended. I wish that they had showers so that I could do these workouts in the morning before work, but that is more of a personal preference and not a critique of the studio by any means. I cannot recommend this place enough, as it's great for people at any stage in their fitness journey

I did the new student package two for $35 , and I did warm Vinyassa classes for both. I did a Friday 6pm and Sunday 2:30pm, both instructors were excellent !!

I used to come 15 years ago when it was a purely bikram studio so now they have hot yoga which is bikram based and warm vinyassa - amazing to have a heated yoga studio that maybe when core power is feeling like too heavy a lift, it the perfect option.

My review is a 4 purely because of the barrier of entry to this studio (and the same family of…read morestudios across the area). First you need to take a private session for $90+ unless you qualify and then you can sign up for a level 1 course. The pricing per class is quite high but that's on par for Arlington studios. The studio itself was quaint with some parking nearby. Bathrooms were clean and the studio was clean. I wish they had some frosted glass because I didn't love how everyone from the parking lot can see right in. The class sizes are small (reformer was 4 people) but allows for more hands on. The machines were easy to use and the instructor kind. My biggest issue is it took 1 month to get into a class- and you can't move on to level 2 unless you are approved (which leaves it vague). If you are level 1 and want to take multiple classes in Arlington a week, it's impossible. I would love to visit more but my lifestyle doesn't always allow me to schedule a class 4 weeks in advance. I would hate to buy a pack of 10 classes and never be able to get into a class and be at the mercy of being approved to getting into the higher level courses.

I called about starting classes here & they said I had to do a private lesson to learn the…read moreequipment. In the call, nobody mentioned there being a charge for this first private lesson (almost $100) - I just assumed as it is required, and almost like a "trial", it would be free. Upon talking with the owner who was very helpful they were able to resolve the situation and were very kind. I completed the private lesson with a very knowledgeable and kind trainer who was very helpful. The machines were well kept & the space was very nice. Great small business with helpful staff!
