Rasa Yoga

Really great location and sooo pretty but I had a pretty bad experience with the class. «Yoga Matinal» was subbed by Baptiste and though he seemed nice by the end though he mocked me for being an American until I proved that I spoke fluent French. It’s a long story and if management wants to know the full ordeal, please message me and I will let you know, but I will leave it here that he was extremely rude and made me want to leave in the middle of the class. The issue revolved around the fact that it was my first time with his style of yoga and when I couldn’t do the pose right he got very frustrated with me and assumed it was because I didn’t understand the language. Not patient at all and was one of the worst experiences ever. I hear good things about the other teachers and would go again but never to a class by Baptiste. Sorry!

Cours de très bonne qualité. La grande salle est lumineuse et c’est vraiment agréable de pratiquer la quand il n’y a pas trop de monde. Tapis et matériel a disposition. cours en francais ou anglais.
points faibles: Déja le site internet date d’il y a deux siecles. et n’est pas attrayant ni clair. Heureusement que le planning est a jour. Mais il né donne pas envie.
La personne à l’accueil n’est jamais la meme, et donne souvent l’impression d’etre stagaire.
Les vestiaires sont exigus et pas forcement très propres (boules de poussiere par terre).
Bcp de tapis de yoga sentent mauvais, les salles de sont pas frocement aerees entre deux cours, ce qui peut parfois etre repoussant olfactivement.
Les cours sont parfois bondés.
beaucoup de participants arrivent en retard et perturbent les debuts des cours.
Enfin des cours à 9h du matin permettraient a bcp de personnes de pouvoir venir afin d’enchainer ensuite sur une journée de travail. Mais ce né sont pas les stagiaires de l’accueil qui ont l’air de transmettre cette demande malgre nos nombreuses suggestions… dommage.

I traded at this studio when I was living in Paris. It is hands down the best yoga experience I have ever had. All of the teachers are incredible and welcoming — if you want to try a new style of yoga, attempt a difficult posture, or talk to like-​minded yogis, it’s the perfect spot. Everyone speaks English as well as French (and you’ll find the staff and teachers speak lots of other languages as well). A safe and beautiful haven for travellers and locals alike.

I actually really liked this yoga studio. The reception staff is friendly and english-​speaking, level 2 – 3 classes are of high-​caliber, and it’s in a great central location. At € 20 per drop-​in though, prices are a little high; however, I am American so my currency is at a disadvantage after conversion. This is only a problem if you (like me) do yoga 3 to 4 times a week. I recommend buying a set of 10 classes to knock off a couple euros per class as you can use them any time and they don’t expire. There is also an additional discount for students. This is officially my studio when I’m in Paris.

Rasa is a beautiful studio and very conveniently located. The teachers are great, the classes are convenient and they have discount cards for students!
They also offer many interesting workshops!
Look, yoga in Paris is expensive — Rasa is priced pretty well, all things considered!

Rasa Yoga — Exhale and Oeuvre la Coeur En Paris — I was in Paris for no good reason… running, lifting weights, practicing yoga, etc after a conference. I went back to Rasa Yoga (was there is 2009) for two Ashtonga classes. The place is beautiful; it is in a beautiful little courtyard on a tourist street near Notre Dame; the inside is a French version of Exhale of UES NYC sans the showers and nice changing rooms; actually, Rasa’s main studio actually has better lighting than Exhale. The classes very closely follow the 1^st series which I expected for the Ashtonga 1 – 2 class, but I was surprised the Ashtonga 2 class had no inversions (shoulder stand does not count) and no challenging arm balances (bakasana does not count) especially since the class was quite fit. The ashtonga 2 class did have some students who did great jump backs and jump throughs which were fun to watch. The advantage of the classes following the 1^st series is you certainly don’t need to know any French to feel comfortable in the class. The instructor for Ashtonga 1 was a very intriguing French girl with a beautiful voice and nice arm muscles who keeps telling you in an authoritative voice «Oeuvre la Coeur» while giving adjustments… very interesting. The instructor for Ashtonga 2 knew his stuff but was not as cute (sorry but in Paris everything should be beautiful); however, his students were quite good which makes yoga more fun. The classes are great but not much of a workout so I recommend running along the Seine, down bvld Entermans, around the Boi du Boulonge, and out to La Defense… a great tour of Paris. After yoga, if you are a frugal vegetarian, I recommend going to La Vie en Fruits for some froyo and salad, but if you are a carnivore on a generous budget (not that there is anything wrong with that) I recommend going to Entrecôte for all you can eat steak in pepper sauce with frites.
