I had been going to Yoga Roots for 7-8 years and often purchased annual passes. This past year, I sustained an injury and was unable to attend yoga. I contacted Yoga Roots to ask for a partial refund or some other negotiated solution to this problem, and I included a letter from my doctor. It was also under the recommendation by my physical therapist that I avoid yoga. I needed to contact them a few times to get a response. They finally suggested that I wait until I was recovered and they could extend my pass. However, when I contacted them a while later about this, they--once again--did not respond. One would think that since I had been going to the studio for 7-8 years, that they would be more interested in resolving this issue, but it became obvious they were not. If you are considering them as your yoga studio, you may want to ask them what their policy is for unforeseen accidents and medical issues. You may also want to reflect on the ethics of a business you choose to support. Yoga Roots has some wonderful teachers, but because of my recent experience, I could never recommend them. read more

Yoga Roots is a charming, welcoming, and peaceful oasis of a yoga studio and I am so pleased that it is within walking distance of my house! Coming off a long illness and series of abdominal surgeries, I have been anxious about getting back into exercise and yoga seemed to me like a nice, gentle way to get back into shape. So, my experience at Yoga Roots has so far spanned their selection of more gentle class offerings: - Slow Flow: The most vigorous of the classes I tried, this seems like it covers most of the bases of a regular vinyasa class, just slowed down somewhat in pace. - Basics: Slightly less rigorous than the Slow Flow, a good way to get acquainted with the poses and how the classes run. - Yin: My favorite so far; this class focuses on releasing deep tissue and ligaments - which is exactly what I need. I'd go to this class every day if it were offered! - Restorative: The most gentle of all; poses are lying down and utilize gravity to achieve a deep, slow stretch. Because I am so out of shape, I was relieved to find this studio to have a welcoming and non-judgmental vibe across all four of those classes and with all of the instructors I have so far encountered. In every class there is a deliberate emphasis on working at your own pace and doing what feels best for your body. With that attitude, I look forward to using Yoga Roots as a resource as I make my own progress back to wellness. read more

Stepped on a piece of glass in the studio after practice requiring a visit to urgent care for removal. When emailed owner to raise concern given most practice without any socks on, instead of apologizing owner proceeded to state that the incident would have to be verified by the instructor- which he did and still no apology of any kind! Had a 30classes remaining on my account and decided to just forgo what was left due to the very distasteful experience. I would beware if you have any kind of neuropathy in your feet- this is how you end up with infections read more

The best yoga studio in Cleveland hands down. Such a grounded and loving vibe about this studio. A beautiful space and lovely staff. Owners are beautiful people. Love Yoga Roots! read more

New to town and LOVE this place! Great studio, great instructors, great flows, great amenities. My only negative would be that it's a little pricier than I'm used to, but that's because we just moved from a small town where everything is cheaper. read more

+clean studio +student discount +good flow read more

Nicest staff ever. There's water, tea and towels available for use.You can pay per class or there are other packages which will be cheaper per class. You can check out their schedule online (always updated even with holidays) and they even have an app! You can schedule your classes that way but if you don't make it no worries, they won't take the class off your account. I'm writing based on the Barre classes. Each instructor brings his/her own style which keeps it interesting. Yet, all of them leave you feeling like you did a full body workout. read more

Thrilled they are opening back up after covid shut down. You don't know how good it is until it's gone! This place is perfect in every way. The atmosphere is friendly and calming. The instructors all bring their own charm and make each class feel unique. read more

This place rocks! I was in Cleveland working for a month and wanted to continue my new yoga routine. I found this place and after one visit I bought a month-long package. The warm floor is the deal. Even if you aren't doing hot yoga the floor stays warm and helps loosen you up at the beginning of your practice while you are lying on your back and meditating before your class. I took most of my classes with Michelle Brown. I love her to pieces. She is excellent if you are just starting out. She's very attentive, helpful and has a good command of her class. Also I took classes under Annie Siegal who is an amazing teacher as I moved forward. I wish I could have made more of her classes. In short, I travel quite a bit for work and drop in on many different studios around the country and at this point, Yoga Roots is my favorite............ Craig read more

This place is legit and seems like it stands for everything I would hope my yoga studio would stand for. The owners are a family and run a 1st class establishment right in between Cleveland and University Heights. The prices are agreeable and the hot studio isn't too hot to take away any of the enjoyment from the class. I really liked it here, you should go if this is a studio option for you. read more

Really lovely studio with lots of light and great people. It was a bit hard to find at first, tucked away behind the Main Street but there is plenty of parking. I tried the new student special to hit a variety of classes and was pleased with them all. I especially loved the Sunday evening restorative class, something often difficult to find. They also offer great workshops and YTT. I look forward to returning for more classes. read more

I just switched to this studio. I am 57 and have been taking power yoga classes once or twice a week for 7 years. I LOVE this studio. It just feels really positive and the people here are diverse--ages, races, body types. I felt totally welcomed from my first class. The teachers are good--I have taken about 4 different classes so far. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that the teaching isn't quite as consistently polished and professional as my prior studio. But the vibe is better and I'll be back! read more

Found this studio while searching for one if my favorite yoga teachers. Fairly tucked away behind a church on South Taylor/Fairmount. When you first walk in it's very chic and everyone is super friendly. Plenty of cubbies to stow your belongings. They offer free bottled water and towels (bonus!), so all you have to do is walk into the studio, roll out your mat and enjoy class. Studio floor is cork and radiantly heated which is nice. Even in my power classes, I'm hot, but not Bikram sweaty. Studio and all equipment was super clean. The bathroom is large, updated and has radiant floor heating. My experience was everything I look for in a great studio. Knocked off 1 star because it's a single bathroom, that could cause problems if someone is showering and you really need to go or if you're trying to shower and get to work...you'd have to wait your turn. read more

Went to a class after my neighbor made me go. Not too many people and I thought it was weird since the space is nice. Its overly priced and the owner is really creepy. Don't reccomend. read more

I recently switched from another east side yoga studio to Yoga Roots and I'm so glad I did! The staff is welcoming and friendly and remembered my name within just a few visits. This studio offers multiple classes of varying levels. I always feel challenged, but never like I'm going to be dead of heat stroke and/or exhaustion before the end of class (like I did in the other studio). Also, this studio's clientele is less concerned about looking perfect in their Lululemon outfits and focuses on actually practicing yoga. The instructors always offer modifications. There are students of all ages and sizes, which is refreshing. Plus they offer clean towels and cold bottled water! I highly recommend it. read more

Best yoga in Cleveland! The staff is really friendly and I always leave feeling like when I left my body thanks me for a good work out and excellent stretch! read more

I just moved to Cleveland from Chicago and have been searching for a yoga studio. I've been practicing yoga for almost 8 years now. Yoga Roots was 1 of 4 that I tried. I did the 1 week unlimited new student special and did a couple of different classes. The facilities were outstanding and staff generally welcoming. I wasn't crazy about the classes though. There wasn't any attention paid to form or consideration for injuries. I left feeling more irritated in mind and achy in body than the positive benefits I expect to feel from my yoga practices. read more

Great, clean studio with amazing teachers. I've met a few and they have all been really welcoming and encouraging. I'm new to yoga and I'm sure it shows but every class has been great. read more

Beautiful space! Cork heated floors! Love the diverse array of teachers and everyone is very friendly. Have tried 4 different teachers so far and they all have given very useful tips and suggestions while teaching to ensure you are doing the poses properly so you don't hurt yourself. I find the classes comfortable and relaxing while giving me a great mind and body workout. read more

Love it! I just started back at the practice recently and have been to a few studios. YR is "it" for me. Staff, space, classes - exceptional. Started with a free week and buying a package. Amazing place...and exactly what I need(ed)! read more
