[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had the most beautiful Summer Solstice session with an incredible group of women, all guided by the amazing Agnete.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She led us through a heart-opening journey of gratitude, calming breathwork, gentle, mindful yoga, and the most transportive sound bath. The sound bowls truly carried me to another dimension. If you're looking for a deeply relaxing and grounding experience, I can't recommend Valkyrie Yoga enough. read more

We came to Valkyrie because we absolutely adore Abby. She is simply THE BEST. I was a bit nervous since I'm used to heated yoga studios, but Valkyrie was very welcoming and had a positive energy. It had a sense of coziness with blankets, meditation cushions and beautiful decor/plants. It was one of the best yoga practices Ive ever had, and to top it off, Abby serenaded us with the sound baths. I definitely want to come back. Just FYI, they are on classpass! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Agnete has collected incredible teachers and a truly magical place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seya, Margie and Rus each have remarkable talents and passion for breathwork, yin, holding space, and sharing love in their classes!

Amazing welcoming space ! Visited for a private event and the flow and sound healing was perfection. Can't wait to come back !

This was probably the worst experience I've ever had at a yoga class - and I have attended many. I was interested in the Yin+Connection class because the description stated this was a place to help people feel supported during times of isolation, and there would be an opportunity to connect in a circle. I thought this would be a unique opportunity to feel supported in a difficult time of my own stress and isolation. I arrived about 15 minutes early and the instructor, "Seya" Speake-Pine arrived a few minutes before the start of class. Only she and I were in the room for several minutes, and she did not acknowledge my presence - at all. No hello, no introductions, just moved a little around the room but didn't need to do much to get ready, as the class did not require any special materials besides regular yoga equipment, and the room was already set up. As other attendees came in, she greeted each one, hugging several regulars and chatting with them, with obvious excitement to see them. One other attendee who was new to the studio came in and the instructor introduced herself to them. I waited to see if she would introduce herself or say a single word to me - and she never did. The class went on and it was nothing special - probably one of the lower quality yin classes I've taken. She did not offer any feedback throughout the class as we moved through the poses, other than offer modifications. I understand that not every teacher does adjustments, but most notice if a student is struggling with a pose, and there were a couple I could have used some feedback for. I am fairly practiced at yoga, but I always appreciate when instructors pay attention to students when they aren't getting the poses - and this was a small class - about five students. As the class ended and I was walking out, there was no goodbye or thank you for attending. "Seya" was busy talking to one of her regulars, and I heard her complain that she had to teach a class earlier that week to new people, and she didn't really like that because it wasn't "her people." Great, just what I want to hear from a "community" based yoga practice - that the instructor is into cliques. I've never had an instructor completely ignore me as a human coming into the practice - I don't need sunshine and rainbows, but hello, an introduction, and a "goodybe, thanks for coming," should be mandatory in the type of vulnerable environment that yoga creates - ESPECIALLY in a class that claims to be community focused and supposedly aims to reduce isolation. Upon viewing "Seya's" website, I saw that she has a collection of practices under her belt, mostly full of new age baloney like reiki, "Past Life Regression Therapy & Quantum Hypnosis Sessions," and has founded an underground "earth school," where "ancient practices intersect with modern day social justice," whatever that means. I find it hilarious that she says she practices trauma informed care, when I am actually trained in that with a Master of Social Work, something that requires accreditation, not spiritual nonsense. It isn't shocking this white blonde lady has culturally appropriated the Hindu name of Seya. Lol. This place fits into the "vibe" of festival going, "energy field," superficial nonsense that is a part of so much of the OB community. It's a shame nearly anyone can become a yoga teacher - and I'm sure she would say she went through a myriad of intensive training sponsored by whatever association - who cares? If the class sucks because you can't give individual attention or even a mere hello and goodbye to all participants, you shouldn't be there. read more

I love this space. The energy here feels so good. You just feel held once you walk through the doors. There are a variety of classes and events happening all the time. The simple fact that they have breathwork daily is huge for me. There is also a beautiful outdoor space to hang out in. There isn't any ego here. You just walk in and feel safe. read more

When I first took a class at Valkyrie I had no idea this is exactly the studio I needed. All of their teachers have been nothing short of amazing. They offer a variety of classes and times that work for me. I love the restorative Sundays; a perfect way to wind down from the weekend. I'm just so grateful they have this beautiful space and souls that fill it read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Agnete has created such a welcoming space in OB for the community to come together and practice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love that they have a variety of yoga classes to choose from including focuses on breathwork, sound healing and meditation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The teachers have all been great and make you feel supported during class.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really love this studio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great studio and really nice people![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoyed the breath work and sound bath. Definitely recommend .

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is by far my favorite yoga studio that I have ever been to![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The instructors are all incredible and teach the best classes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the community feel and how centered they are on overall wellness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They differentiate themselves by offering daily breathwork, sound healing, and yoga. The other yoga studios all charge extra workshop fees for breathwork and sound healing, and they are usually only offered once a month. They also give you two guest passes per month, when all the others ones I have been to either give you none or just one. The owner is amazing and has created such a wonderful environment and ambiance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a place where you feel seen, accepted and at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend it! read more
