In a culture overrun by cold, gym-style power yoga studios, InBliss is my sanctuary. Warm, unique,…read moreand unpretentious, this studio welcomes all humans with a loving embrace. I mean it! They have one of the most diverse groups of students you'll encounter, and no matter where you are in your practice or physical abilities, there is a class for you. You'll find no judgement here. Nothing about InBliss feels like a business, rather, a safe space to recharge my batteries and deepen my yoga practice. I felt from the very beginning that they truly cared about me. Something I particularly love about InBliss is that they aren't afraid to dive deep - things like chanting, sound bowls hands on assists, and breathwork are just a few experiences I enjoy in every class here - and those things are becoming more rare as cookie cutter corporate studios are popping up all over the city. Matti, Starr, and the rest of the teachers are deeply knowledgeable, but also genuine, generous, and kind - always making me feel truly like a part of their community. If you're considering giving InBliss a try, their pricing is VERY reasonable, making yoga accessible to more people. They have an amazing new student special, as well as some of the lowest monthly unlimited yoga memberships I've seen. We are SO LUCKY to have such a perfect place in the northland. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

We came for a group event and we got to enjoy the back room space. Their essential oils really set the atmosphere and their no shoe policy keeps things clean and calm.

Overall a wonderfully owned business & ambiance. Ooooohhhhhmmmmm.

Housed in a building that was once part of Kansas City's film row, I had a good feeling as I walked over Joan Crawford's and Jean Harlow's stars on the sidewalk leading into the building. (both screen queens spent their formative years in KC... wow, I have a way of fitting that into many reviews, don't I?) The studio is on the second floor, down past the check-in desk and hallway where you'll find the bathrooms and an alkaline water system. The studio itself is lovely, with bamboo floors and all kinds of wall hangings and statues around the room with Ganesh and other Hindu deities, which automatically makes me feel happy. The room has lots of windows, which allows for natural light and they like to keep the temperature to 80 degrees. No, this is NOT hot yoga (not a fan, personally), but you will sweat. Personally, I do like having windows open, letting in fresh air and fans, but I think I'm in the minority as I haven't found any studios that have this kind of thing. Most classes are taught by Kathleen and Wade, the husband and wife team that own Maya Yoga and both are approachable, strong instructors that will push you as far as you need to be pushed, while not going too far. It's noted on the schedules which classes are more for beginning students, by the way, so take note of that if you are a beginner. Having fallen out of regular practice, I mixed it up a bit to get back into it. I've taken a combination of classes, although not those in the morning or evening (ashtanga) which are really for those who have some background in yoga. I don't love ashtanga, but I did take two intro classes with Wade and he really does a great job of easing you into this challenging practice, for many of us, would take years to be able to do a lot of the asanas to their fullest benefit. Keep in mind, yoga is a practice and it's not about who can do this or that pose or asana. It's hard for most Westerners, as most of us are looking to be "good" at it (myself not excluded). What I've always found interesting is that you can be an absolute beginner but able to do some challenging poses with ease, like from when I started yoga many years ago, I found ankle to knee pose to be a piece of cake while a good portion of seasoned practitioners struggle with this. Meanwhile, I've still yet to be able to put my hands flat the floor when doing a forward bend. Kathleen's Tuesday midday Vinyasa class is perfect and definitely challenges me (hello splits! Still can't do those, either), while keeping me in good practice for those poses that come easier (Yay, backbends!). Today we had a really fantastic sub named Gwen and I need to see if she teaches other classes, because she was a blast- really down to earth, really helpful, but again, it's not gentle yoga (which she teaches as well, to seniors. How awesome is that?!) I come from a Vinyasa and Kundalini practice and ideally my practice combines both. Maya doesn't offer Kundalini, so I'll probably be going elsewhere for that, but I am really happy that I found a yoga studio that I love for Vinyasa!

The studio is warm however the instructors were not (which surprised me). Maybe it's because we had a groupon and are not regulars? who knows.. We positioned ourselves in the back row since we were not familiar with their sequencing or how they ran their classes. The instructor was pretty intense for a beginner class and was a bit too serious for me. Don't get me wrong it was a challenging class and she knows her stuff but the yoga vibe of love, peace and Namaste was not abundant as at other studios.

Attended a yoga class at 0830 am on a Snow Sunday Morning today and had a great time and workout!…read moreThe class was a Community Yelp event spearheaded by Kieu, Yelp KC Community Coordinator. I've done yoga before and actually had a membership at a yoga studio in LA in the past, but after not doing it for 2 years, I was a little apprehensive to get back into it. Luckily, the instructor today was very chill and gave a class fitting to beginners and more geared for a relaxing time than an intense strength/endurance test. She was very clear with the instructions and with only 9 attendees there, she was able monitor us and made comments/tips to help us get the best out of the class. She was very personable, nice and had lovely stories to share. It was a very personalized class as opposed to feeling like she made it the same for every class. All the mats, blocks, straps, blankets, and pillow were available to use for class. Perfect for those who don't have all the equipment! Facility was clean and the bathroom was clean. The Yelp KC Community Coordinator, Kieu, provided healthy snacks and drinks after the class. Thanks for making this event possible! It was a donation yoga class, but I like how the instructor didn't hound us on giving a tip or donation. She just made it an option if we could, which was nice. I did end up tipping and luckily she took credit cards!

I am not very flexible or balanced but it didn't matter! We had props to help and make us feel comfortable. Our class was very relaxed, not super full and relaxing. Our instructor chose to do a more beginner level / relaxed class since some of us hadn't done yoga before. As usual, the instructor was in the front of the class but she still made her way around the room. If one of us was doing a position incorrectly or needed a little guidance, she was gentle in handling​ and helping us. I didn't feel silly if I fell over or had her come help me. They had mats, blocks, straps and blankets available​. Which, thank goodness, because I don't own any of these! After the class, our coordinator had snacks and drinks set up for after the class. I'm very glad the class wasn't canceled due to the scary weather and I will for sure be looking into taking up some classes here!

I have been out of my practice and was a little self conscious going back but have not had any regrets getting back into my practice at this studio. My only struggle has been interpreting the right classes for where I'm at and what I need as not everything they do translates to the more "one size fits all" yoga classes I've been to in the past. Certainly not a negative on their part - just a learning curve as a new participant.

This location was offering a nice deal to try out the studio, and it is in a convenient location not too far from major highways. There are 2-hr street parking and smaller lots available.

I have taken several classes with Henna, and she is great! Basically, her level of mastery is what I strive for, but I imagine it will take at least a decade before I get anywhere close. I am at best a beginner, and it can be intimidating practicing with a small group. But Henna has my best interest at heart and has instructed me on every occasion on proper positioning. Overall, I am happy with my experience so far.

I can honestly say it was one of the better yoga experiences I've had in my year of practicing weekly. The studio itself is perfectly designed. Calming and simple. Some nice murals and a wonderful water sculpture. The lights were left low, which is my preference. The class itself was a standard vinyasa flow. The teacher (I forgot her name, but she is an owner) definitely knew what she was doing and led the class confidently but with a nice sense of humor. The set was challenging in just the right way. For the poses I knew were be beyond my current practice, we were offered alternatives. My favorite aspect of the studio is that they keep the spiritual aspect of the practice in place (but not overbearingly so). You are reminded to stay present. You close with OM. I have a hard time with teachers who treat this like its solely an aerobics class. This is not the case here. Planning on going back any time I'm in KC.
