Bombay Yoga Company

Based off my first impressions, and first class, Bombay just gets it.
I have been to many many many yoga studios. And Bombay Yoga Company from the moment you walk in provides a chill spot to practice.
My first class was a vinyasa flow with Chris. It was perfect for my first class back in a long while.
He was knowledgeable, and laid back. And any class that starts with Sivasana is going to win points in my book.
I think it’s important for me to give a few points on why I really liked this space:
1) it’s airy, and bright.
2) there are changing rooms, and plenty of space for shoes and jackets etc.
3) the receptionist is kind, and there is a lovely area to sit and chill before and or after your class.
Will be going back for more classes for sure!
TWO thing thats that contributed to a detracted star, but only bothered me a little–
1) The walls are a little thin and you can hear a little of the other class and noise outside of the class room in the waiting area (maybe a sign asking that people be mindful of other classes in session?)
2) I would have LOVED to have some music to help with the flow of the class. It’s fine because Chris was so great at guiding though the vinyasa, but I find a little music helps with my focus on breath and presence of mind.
Namaste.

Been class passing my way around town looking for YIN Yoga classes and nailed it at 6pm Sunday class with Vanessa. Bombays studio is open, clean and airy (walking distance to boot) and offers a 2-​week unlimited classes for $ 20 for any newcomers (me me me!) I highly suggest checking out this studio for your yoga needs!

Kathryn is an awesome teacher, highly recommend any of her hot yoga classes! They offer a good range of classes and times in the evening plus some early morning classes which is nice. Great location and very nice studio building. If you haven’t tried it out yet the month long intro deal is amazing.

Vanessa Jackson taught a very patient Yin class. It was just what I was looking for– lower back and hip openers for the whole class! Awesome. She was obviously very knowledgeable and skilled and never rushed us in or out of these deep postures. you soon realize the postures are not easy to hold for 3 minutes, and she understands the patience necessary to lead a class like that. So far, a very good impression of Bombay Yoga. My gratitude abounds. Thank you!

As a runner, I am always looking for a quality stretch and recovery in between runs. Hot vinyasa yoga has always been my go-​to for both the workout and mental benefits. I was excited to hear about this studio in Bella Vista. I had a great experience at Bombay Yoga Company! I took the all levels hot vinyasa class with Kathryn. The class was awesome and I never felt that it was too easy or too difficult. Kathryn provides a lot of opportunities to push yourself without feeling obligated. Listen to your body while being led through the practice. I felt refreshed and relaxed after the class. I am so excited for my next class! I highly recommend that you give it a shot!

Absolutely love this studio! I have never paid for a gym or other workout studio membership in my life but have committed here after working my butt off at Kathryn’s vinyasa class! I’m a runner and a terrible stretcher so needed a regular routine to keep me strong in the core and flexible — here it is! If you’re a runner/​biker/​yogi and want to move your running/​biking/​life to the next level, look no further!

I love this studio! I’m sad I only got to go for a few weeks before I moved from the city, but I can confidently say I learned more about yoga as a practice and lifestyle as well as proper technique from a few sessions with the wonderful teachers here than I have anywhere else. When I get the chance, I plan to make the trek in for special workshops and the odd class — this place is *that* good.

Obsessed with this studio — hopefully Kathryn opens another one in the future a little closer to Northwest Philly! But, when I get the chance, I love taking class at Bombay! The workout is worth the drive. The studio is beautiful, and the instructors are all incredible. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

A really lovely hot yoga studio. They have a nice seating area/​cubbies, the studio is nice and gets good light (not too much, but not a cave), and the teachers are great. I love that there’s lots of bike parking outside, and I don’t imagine driving there would be very difficult.

I love this studio! First of all, hot yoga is my jam and Bombay does it right. Oftentimes, I find that I sweat more during a hot vinyasa class at Bombay than I do at a Bikram class.
I love the colors in this gorgeous space, specifically the dark blue room. I find it calming, especially during the toughest poses. I enjoy the essential oils used at the end of class and the hands-​on adjustments both during class and in savasana.
If you don’t mind working up a great sweat and detoxing your body and soul, then you should definitely give Bombay a try!

This is a fabulous yoga studio. Katherine is an excellent teacher. Her instructions are clear, and she is very personable. During the hot yoga class, she used a wonderful blend of essential oils to refresh her students. The smart yoga class helped me understand some concepts i didnt learn previously. The facility is spacious and clean and best of all smells wonderful. Bombay’s prices are reasonable and you can easily walk, take public transportation or park to get there. Online scheduling is available so you can easily sort out your life in and outside the studio.

Bombay is AWESOME! I never thought I could enjoy hot yoga until I took a class with Kat! This place is beautiful and the instructors are knowledgeable and fun. So far I have taken classes with Kathryn, Ashley and Brian and they are all fabulous!
Getting back into running took a toll on my body and hot yoga really helped! Of course, this location is super convenient for me, so that is very cool too. The deals they offer make it hard to pass up. I’m definitely hooked!

Really love this place! The closest hot yoga studio to my house. They have so many class times, you’ll be sure to find a time that’s convenient for you. On Friday afternoons, there is a yoga class for runners which I really love. Very clean, very spacious, very hot. It seems hotter than any other yoga studio I’ve ever been it. You will really work up a sweat. I’m moving in just a few weeks and I’m going to miss this new find!

I really appreciate this place. It’s new, clean, and spacious. Kathryn the owner teaches mostly the hot vinyasa which is the only class I take. And she changes it in some variation each time. I’ve had other yoga instructors before, but I have never had the experience of being so calm and rejuvenated after class, each and every time. For my selfishness I hope it doesn’t get too crowded because it’s nice and peaceful the way it is now.

Love, love, love this place. It’s less than a 3-​minute walk from my house and everyone has been super friendly & helpful. I’ve tried almost all of the instructors for hot yoga classes.
The favorite part of my day is class w/​Kathryn, where I’m drowning in sweat and thankful that she pushes us and reminds us to smile. Brian & Ashley are great, too. Also, Kathryn does alignments & essential oil spray during savasana — best way to start an early morning or relax after a long day! Their hours are well-​fitting, too. Most other yoga studios have times that conflict w/​normal work-​week hours.
I hope that they start up workshops/​learning series, especially ones to cater to yoga newbies like myself. I’m sure that this will happen as they settle into their new space. Overall, I totally love this place and hope it stays this amazing. Welcome to the neighborhood, Bombay Yoga!

A new hot yoga studio so close to my place? Philly, you sure know how to spoil a girl. This is a beautiful new space located right by Hawthorne’s and it’s the BOMB (ay).
The bathroom is located right before the door and there are changing rooms and a water cooler inside. It is still brand spankin new so I think they are still getting their identity a bit and I’m excited to see what the vibe of the clientele/​community will be like.
The first class I took was great– pretty standard hot vinyasa, not too crowded, knowledgeable instructor with hands on assists (but not too hands on). I went to I think 10 classes in my intro 2 weeks and I really liked all the instructors. Kathryn, the owner, had one of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard and leads a creative and challenging flow. She’s also into aromatherapy so there are always interesting oils on the desk and she sometimes sprays a scented spray to cool you down during savasana. I will probably leave my main studio and start here soon, or continue to cheat on my studio with drop ins and feel guilty about it. .
They have LOTS of class times: weekdays: 6:30am, 12pm, 4:45, 5:30 (except Fri), 6:30, 7:15 (except Fri) and weekeds 9, 11, and 4:45!
Intro 2 weeks for $ 20 and they have an intro $ 50 month special too!
Check this place out if you’re in the area or like a challenging yoga class!
