City Yoga

My personal requirements for a fantastic yoga experience? — A helpful & calming instructor, a killer playlist, good value for the monthly rate, and leaving class feeling like I got a good workout in while also feeling mentally refreshed. City Yoga offers all of this to their students and so much more, including ample parking, free rental mats [Manduka brand mind you, no cheap mats here!], mat cleaner, a beautiful studio space complete with changing rooms and storage for your personal items, and an ample class schedule with numerous daily time slots [including holidays!] along with various instructors to choose from to suit everyone’s preferences and needs.
The studio owner Mike has clearly taken the time to cultivate not only a fantastic yoga studio with great instructors, but also a welcoming community for yogis of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert practitioner, you’ll be guided through a thorough physical and mentally cleansing workout in any of CY’s yoga classes that you sign up for. They also offer monthly workshops that focus on specific areas of the body, or on certain aspects of the yoga practice if you want to fine tune your skills in particular areas.
Seriously folks — There’s a bajillion places one can go to for yoga classes these days, but there’s nothing quite as special as what City Yoga offers. So skip, hop, jog, or cruise yourself on over there and thank me later. Namaste!

When it comes to exercise, I’m the girl who loves classes that leave me drenched in sweat and /​or that leave me feeling sore the next few days. HIIT? Okay. Spin class? Sign me up. Boot camps? Sure.
But yoga? Ehh…
My friend Su L. couldn’t stop raving about City Yoga, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Let’s just say my previous notion of yoga was turned upside its head when I walked into City Yoga for their All Level Flow class. It’s a challenging class, pushing you to find your balance and stretch your muscles like you never thought possible in yoga. By the end of class, I was sweating like crazy and felt like I got a great, relaxing stretch.
The instructor Mike was also fantastic. He provided several variations of how to stretch /​work the same muscles to accommodate practitioners of all levels. (I’m a complete yoga newbie so this was much appreciated!) Admittedly, Mike tends to call out the yoga pose name, and he’s not as much of a visual demonstrator (he walks around the classroom sometimes). However, you’re bound to be in a classroom of yoga pros and you can look at them to get an idea of the move. And while this class had the greatest diversity in poses, within the first few minutes, you’ll start recognizing the poses and connecting them to the name when the instructor calls them out.
Additional amenities at the studio include free yoga mats, free towels, open cubbies for your valuables, shower, changing rooms, and plentiful parking. Couple these things with the challenging yet relaxing class and I think I’ve found a new exercise studio to add to my fitness routine. :)

I don’t often write a review of a yoga studio without going to it at least a few times prior. However, as I write this, I am sore all over from the killer workout last night. In addition to that, City Yoga has definitely impressed me with their staff and their location. I can’t help but gush about this place while I cradle my aching extremities. It burns so good.
There is ample parking at City Yoga so feel free to drive on over. The studio has a shower, a changing room, plenty of towels for sweat (trust me, you’ll be needing the sweat towels) and for cleaning your mat. They also have water bottles set up in the front with a little wooden bowl that you can put your cash in. The suggested amount is $ 1.00.
The studio space is large. I was in a smaller class so I had plenty of room. I can imagine it getting pretty tight in a packed class but luckily they have plenty of classes available throughout the day in order to potentially avoid that.
Mike was the first instructor I ever encountered here. I didn’t think I was going to be working out too hard so I was prepared to just relax and take it easy. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Mike’s all level flow class kicked my ass and it kicked it good.
I absolutely love workouts that make me work my butt off and this sure as hell did. The music was fun, Mike was a great instructor and I left feeling refreshed (despite feeling drenched).

I love the new city yoga! The space can accommodate a large group but you don’t feel on top of one another or out of good view of the instructor.
I live pretty far north these days but always try to make Eppie’s class. I love her teaching style! She can talk you through things you didn’t know you could do!

Nice studio but all the instructors are different. No matter their personalities, they will all lead you through a great practice. Convenient location with parking.

This is my place of zen and peace :) the studio is beautiful, the instructors friendly and helpful. The first yoga class I ever took was with Mike a year and a half ago, so I am excited to see him open his own studio. Definitely my favorite part of a work day is coming here.

Great new studio! I signed up for the 20 class groupon and I’m about halfway through it. The teachers are awesome and very friendly and I really like the variety and class times offered.
The studio itself is huge!!! And the mirrors in the front are nice to have when practicing. Spacious bathrooms and changing rooms and plenty of room to place your things during class. Also, I love that parking is not difficult to find and that they have a large lot to park in.
Come try it out, you won’t regret it! :)

First time At City Yoga last night. What a great way to start 2015 with the amazing Julie Wright! This space is beautiful and just feels peaceful and fun. Great facilities from the shower, bathrooms, and changing rooms to the easy parking. The yoga room is spacious with a great city vibe with an exposed concrete wall. I also like the partial mirrors to give you a choice. Towels and Manduka mat rentals are available. The teaching lineup looks awesome too! This will be a new regular studio for me!

Went to my first class here today with Nicole. The industrial space is beautiful and clean! Very calming; an inviting environment to practice. So glad they’re here!

I’m so excited this studio is opening and it’s convenient to get to. I have practiced with a lot of the instructors and they are awesome! Can’t wait for the doors to open!
