I am a regular student at Willow Street. What I love about the studio the most is the sense of…read morecommunity. The teachers really know and care about their students, and will do everything to help them find what they need from their practice. I love hearing stories from fellow students like "I came here to take a kids yoga class 10 years ago!" and "xxx (teacher's name) took care of me through my pregnancy and postpartum." Students are from all age groups, genders, and backgrounds. Some classes have elementary kids and seniors practicing in one room! Needless to say the teachers are wonderful- they have a wealth of knowledge about human anatomy and the broader, deeper traditions that inform modern-day yoga. Each teacher has their unique interpretation and approach. Honestly, I learn something new in every class, and feel happier, calmer as I walk out. I feel that I get so much more than advancing my yoga asana from being part of the WS community. If you are a beginner who's curious, a longtime yogi who is super nerdy about yoga... and seeking a welcoming community with people from all walks of life, this is your studio!

I am very new to hot yoga, but have had nothing short of an amazing experience here at Bikram Yoga…read moreRockville. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and sincere. They remember you by name and work extremely hard to make sure each yogi feels welcomed and supported. The class offerings are perfect timing for working professionals and the location is convenient and extremely clean. I honestly wasn't sure how I'd feel about sweating in 105 degrees for an hour, but it has been a transformative and life changing experience. I feel more confident, peaceful, and overall my mood is much more even. I find myself going as much as possible and relishing in the heated classroom. I have never walked away from classes feeling so rejuvenated after working so hard and each little improvement to my postures makes me feel over the moon. I want to sincerely thank Bikram Yoga Rockville for inviting me into the community and becoming a truly integral part of my well-being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and 12/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND P.S. Bikram Yoga offerings are tried and true but David's Core class on Sundays is SO good, abs never felt so strong! Natalya teaches a slow flow yoga that makes you feel all tingly inside and Diana never ceases to make you both laugh and smile inside (maybe cry a few good tears too). They also offer amazing pop-up classes (see pic of me in Yin Yoga, literally in sheer bliss!) Each teacher is unique but their dedication and care shines through! Just drop-in or do a new yogi special for two weeks! You WILL NOT REGRET IT.

The awesome facilities, the comraderie, and the variety of classes and teachers keep me coming back year after year! The teachers get to know you and genuinely care about your success and health. They keep things fresh with fun themes, music, and pop-up events and workshops, but they also offer traditional posture classes throughout the week if that's your vibe too. Or, you can do them ALL. (all is good!) My best physical self and mental health always includes frequent classes at Bikram Yoga Rockville. I come here right after work as I head north on 270--you can see it from traffic! So why not pop in and pass rush hour in zen instead?

Review of Pilates classes -…read more Thank goodness this place is here. Without it I would have continued my slide into flabbitude and be making regular trips to buy new pants and I hate shopping. At first, I wasn't crazy about it. Or rather my snoozing core muscles were like "Jules. Seriously, WTF? We're trying to sleep under this nice warm layer of doughnuts and beer you've draped over us." And neither teacher I've had there is inattentive, meaning you can't get away with slacking. Now I absolutely hate to miss this class (although I still think Herr Pilates was a sadist). The weekend schedule is convenient and it is near Yes! market so you can get a healthy snack after class.

The owner, Laurel, runs the business as more of a community, getting to each and every student on a personal level. You will truly feel attached to this amazing studio and more importantly, feel able to easily connect with the other students and teachers. Laurel is a brilliant teacher, teaching the most amazing iyengar yoga that I've ever been to. She reaches far to all by including classes of specific levels, such as gentle classes, for a more low profile stretch with low impact on joints etc, or classes such as her teens yoga group in which she includes teens from a wide variety of schools. She even hosts events and creates events such as taking the teens yoga group to India over the summer. Laurel's teaching skills and years of practice are carried over into each and every one of her outstanding teachers. Each teacher has a focus and style of yoga that they teach but they wonderfully exceed my expectations and teach classes that make you want to come back ever single day. Sweetbay Yoga is filled with caring and lovable people and Laurel has created a community unlike anything else. This quaint yoga studio cares greatly about costumer service and Laurel is available at almost every hour of the day to help anyone who wants more information or needs help for anything. I've been to other bigger and franchised yoga studios and could never imagine going back now. After starting yoga classes at Sweetbay 4 years ago, the idea of a yoga studio was pleasantly redefined for me, showing me how the studio can give me a wonderful community and classes, something I never felt from the franchised yoga studios. I love everything about Sweetbay and the people who make it what it is today. Thank you Sweetbay!!

I've been to this studio for over a year and I've taken a lot of their classes on different days and with different teachers. I've been able to find a few classes that I enjoy that fit with my schedule. I started at this studio when I first began my yoga practice. The beginner class (really, beginner plus) with Rachel on Wednesdays is the class I started with and is a fav of mine across all studios I've frequented. I also really like the Sunday morning class with Gaby. I recently took the Advanced Yogi Playtime class taught by Rachel, and it is the class I look forward to most! It's on Tuesday nights.

My first Opus class was with Sharon, the owner, who is experienced, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, warm and lots of fun. Her emphasis on alignment and personal attention hooked me. At first, I was reluctant to take classes from anyone else because she was such a perfect fit, yet, after a while, I did try other teachers (some trained by Sharon) and found that there were many skilled teachers at Opus. With Sharon's expert leadership, she has hired and set the tone for a well rounded group of people teaching varied styles, types and levels of yoga practice. It's a small welcoming studio - well worth a thirty minute drive from my home.

I loved this class, this teacher, the other students, and the setting!…read more My friend Rita recommended Shelly's "gentle yoga" classes to me. I had only a short time to practice before leaving the area. However, in 5 one-hour-and-a-half sessions, I experienced the beginnings of a deep release in both body and mind. It was a truly wonderful (incremental) experience. I was very sorry to have to leave. Shelly is very organized, very pedantic. She has the knack of being so in such an accepting but no-nonsense manner --and with such good will-- that working on a pose with her (and the breathing associated with it) happens with absolutely no angst, no stress. This ensures growth and progress. Shelly's classes were well-thought-out, very organized --- a progression from easy stretches to somewhat more difficult abs, leg, and foot and toe work, on to balance poses and finally to a total body stretch that is followed by deep relaxation at the end of each session. Shelly is a patient but eagle-eyed instructor. . Her organized approach in each session (which I understand evolve as students assimilate the poses) allowed me to develop a practice I could take with me when I left. (A great gift!) I highly recommend the meditative ambiance of the environment, the non-intrusive acceptance and goodwill of the other students and the personal attention to the pose's form and breathing requirements as taught by Shelly. I found it to be a truly special and exceptional experience. She inspired me. I cannot wait to go back and pick up where I left off. Kudos and many many thanks.
