Johns Creek Yoga

This place is heavenly. They have a great respect and love for military families and allow military members (first responders, et cetera) to have a safe place to practice and use yoga to overcome so many different things. I truly appreciated their couples yoga class that they had for V-​DAY and wish it were offered as a normal class more often. The workshop was insightful and truly left the couples feeling supported (by one another) and more bonded through the practice. It was really transformative. The Teachers are Top notch and train different classes eg. Trauma informed yoga et cetera, to many students from all levels of practice. I love the workshops that they offer, I love the space, love the environment and look forward to many more years of practicing here. Thank you Johns Creek Yoga.

It’s now been a several years that I’ve been attending classes at JCY, so I thought it an appropriate time for an updated review.
I continue to love this studio. It’s so rare to see a business like this continue to grow, and yet continue to improve their relationships with the community the way they do here. The owner, Sheila, is constantly offering new workshops and retreats, bringing in guest instructors from all over the world, and creating exciting additions to our practice. From Basic Yoga classes to Hot Power Flow, Restorative to Yin, Tai Chi, and Meditation, this studio has it all.
I love the ability to sign up for a class ahead of time and purchase class packages in the Mind Body app or website. The studio is always nice and clean, and they offer water and hot tea in the waiting area. They also have a nice retail selection with yoga mats, jewelry, candles, and some awesome apparel from brands I love like Alo and Spiritual Gangster.
The vibes here are always welcoming and full of love, whether you’ve been coming for years or are brand new. Tons of options for those just venturing into a yoga practice AND very advanced yogis. No intimidation factor here, just good energy.

i like this studio a lot. I love all the teachers and love coming here. I would give it five stars but i have some major gripes. The PM classes are ridiculously over-​crowded. If you can’t swing your arms up without hitting your neighbors on both sides, it is a little too crowded for my taste. It seems there is much need for additional 4pm, 5pm or 6pm basics classes or bigger rooms. I still love going but I am starting to dread coming since I know that there will be someone breathing pretty much in my face when class starts.

I just love this place! I have been doing yoga for about a year. This studio is very inviting and they provide many classes throughout the week to suit all your yoga levels and needs. The instructors are the best! Sheila usually teaches the morning 9:30am class that is just amazing every time! Mayuri also does much planning before her class and is very attentive to adjusting and helping when needed. I give this place 5 stars… it is a must try if you have never done yoga… you will LOVE it!

When I moved from the Atlanta area it was difficult finding a yoga studio that had an energy I could resonate with. After a few trials here and there, I went to Johns Creek Yoga and after my first class I knew I had found my new yoga home! I immediately felt comfortable with the energy of the studio and the instructors are so knowledgeable, professional, and open-​minded. Each instructor provides a unique experience to add to your practice. Amy Haysman has a great sense of humor that will keep you laughing, raising your vibrational energy and your mindfulness of body as you move through your asanas. If you thought a certain pose was easy then take Donna Wise’s class! Donna will have you feeling like a true yogi as she shows you the correct posture for each pose. I’m so thankful and grateful for her «posture pickiness» and the time she takes to make sure each student is doing a posture correctly.
If you are ready to hit your limit and then hold yourself there with equanimity then take Leisy Julien’s class. Never have I been to such a profound, intense and liberating hot yoga class. Bring a towel and prepare to sweat. Meet your bodies’ boundaries and breathe through them. Leisy will bring you to a new awareness about yourself and remind you to always do one for mind, one for body and one for spirit! As for Sheila McVay’s class, not only will you leave her class feeling advanced in your practice but you will leave conscious, centered, educated, empowered, and full of intention to take throughout you day, your week, and your life. Sheila will have you take a pose, stay in it, feel it, become it, and then smile! You won’t know what I mean by this until you physically are within her presence and in her class.
Be sure to make room on your schedule for an amazing yoga experience with Mayuri Mulji. Her workshops are incredible and there is so much dedication and thoughtfulness put into everything she does. Yoga with Mayuri becomes meditation in movement. She has a unique style of teaching that makes each pose go smoothly into the next and her knowledge about the body is shared as she instructs exactly where and how the body should be and the correct posture to take while reminding you to breathe! Her influence doesn’t stop on the mat; her inspiring words will stay with you. «There is too much I and me and we, let us start saying ‘together’ more. We need more togetherness!» Togetherness is what you’ll find at Johns Creek Yoga.
Be sure to catch a live music class as well. Mahadevi’s voice and harmonium give off such healing vibrational frequencies that will have you physically and mentally grounded, increase your consciousness as you move through every asana and your practice will be taken to new heights. It is a truly enlightening and profound experience! See you on the mat or after class for tea and fruit!
Namaste

Ooooh they sucked me back in!
So I was feeling hyper and remembered that since I stopped going I was emailed another coupon inviting me back for a free class. I decided to use it and Sheila mentioned at the end that the deal for classes was back on groupon. Overall, it was a good class and I really do feel so much better after one. Since I have no complaints about the studio and felt comfortable coming back, I decided to get myself the deal.
