Live Love Flow

Amazing space and instructors ! They are so in tune with how the students are feeling are tailor the class accordingly. They seem to be offering many introductory specials which makes it an excellent value. The classes are never over crowded and I’ve always been able to find parking. Highly recommend !!

Went today for the first time to the post natal class. Loved it and loved the teacher. Would be 5 stars, but the whole place smelled very strongly of smoke (I think from cupping going on down the hall?). Maybe it’s not always like that?

I am so grateful to be a part of this commUNITY at Lila. Great teachers and practicing Yogis.

Lila studio is by far the best one in seattle. The instructors are very helpful and the place is very clean. After I had my second baby, I had a lot of back pain. Lila has helped me get back to normal. I definitely recommend this place to other people

If you’re looking for a yoga studio this is the place ! Lots of classes to choose from very knowledgeable teachers and a beautiful/​clean place. You will feel better in no time don’t hesitate to try it!

This yoga studio is a great find. The prenatal yoga classes taught by Sonia S are wonderful and I always look forward to them.

I have been regularly attending classes at Lila since August 2014, and I have enjoyed all of the classes that I have taken. The «slow flow» class with Sonia W. on the weekends is my favorite, but I have also enjoyed the classes that I have attended taught by Megan, Indira, Laurie, Stephanie, and Ara.
From reading other reviews, it sounds like there have been some issues associated with the transition to new ownership in the past year. The new owner probably could have worked harder to maintain the trust and patronage of clients who have been coming to the studio for several years. One person mentioned in a review that «the business is run for money and not for clients.» I disagree with this statement. The prices at Lila are comparable to the prices found at other yoga studios in Seattle. The teachers are knowledgeable and create a great experience for their students. The owner also seems willing and eager to get student feedback.
I would advise anyone who is interested in yoga at Lila to take a class and decide if it is a good fit. For me, it has been a lovely place to develop a regular yoga practice.

Tried out Lila’s 6:30am class for the first time today. Coming from someone who isn’t a great morning person, Megan did an amazing job. Very calm beginning, but still got the blood flowing for an awesome morning workout. Best way to start the day. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thanks Megan!

I used to love this studio and have been coming here for 2 years. When new ownership took over in spring/​summer 2014 they raised prices, shortened classes, and many of the great teachers no longer seem to be there. So many changes were made so fast, and it really damaged my trust in the studio. It feels as though new ownership did not care at all about retaining existing customers. Instead the focus seems to be dragging in as many new bodies as possible through Groupon and Barre classes. I’m sad I have to look for a new studio. Seattle already has enough power yoga/​corporate yoga/​barre/​hot yoga places. Lila was once truly different and truly special. RIP Lila.
Also what other users have said about new ownership refusing to honor existing member packages seems to be true. When I was last at the studio there were signs up saying they would not honor packages purchased before spring 2014 even though when I bought a 20 class pack under previous ownership it said it would not expire for several years. It seems new ownership is refusing to honor these previously purchased packages.
Since I initially posted this review I was contacted by new ownership requesting that I take this review down. Everything in my review is true and accurate to my experience as a long-​time patron if this studio, and I am not taking it down. If new ownership wants positive reviews they need to be earned.

The new owner sent out an email saying all packages purchased under the previous ownership are no longer valid which is not legal and frankly, bad business and unethical.
I did some internet searches to see if anyone else received the email from the new ownership last week and found a review on another site from someone saying they purchased a class but the new owner canceled the class and then refused to refund the money.
I strongly recommend avoiding this business because it is run for money and not for clients.

Great, friendly staff and knowledgable instructor.

I came to Lila Yoga with a friend and used a coupon for the first timers. I usually don’t go much to yoga, but I was so impressed with Lila Yoga! They have a class of gentle yoga that’s exactly what I need. I never saw such yoga in other places and I recommend it even to folks that are not into yoga. I came in totally exhausted from work, and came out rejuvenated.
I’ll be back for sure :)

I first wrote this review when I began coming to Lila during my pregnancy. I loved the prenatal classes taught by Rebecca. They were just what my body and mind needed (even as that changed during pregnancy), in a beautiful and peaceful studio space, and the community Rebecca fostered was wonderful to be a part of. I miss her excellent instruction.
Then I had my baby and started taking postnatal yoga with Kelly. Kelly is an equally amazing teacher, able to motivate and validate us as well as to adapt the class to our various needs. She is an experienced mama of her own kids and I always appreciate the words of wisdom and understanding she and the other moms have to share during the beginning of the class check in. I love postnatal yoga. You can bring your baby and have no worries about stopping to nurse, soothe or change a diaper. The poses are tailored to new mamas’ needs. The class is a bit longer so you end up getting worthwhile time on the mat and a chance to take care of baby’s needs. Occasionally, my baby needed me for a bit more of the class than other days but everyone has days like that and I’ve also had plenty of classes he would nap through or, mostly, be content to lie on the mat next to me and check out the happenings in the room… So I would encourage Mamas to stick through it if this happens to you! We often also do a few songs with the babies when they are in the right mood so that’s always nice too. :)
I did try pre and postnatal yoga elsewhere and I have to tell you that I prefer Lila hands down. Key differences: I am able to feel comfortable using their mats and other equipment without paying an extra fee or worrying they aren’t sanitized (because I can’t carry one.more.thing as a new mom!) Also, Lila is slightly more affordable (I buy 10 packs), there is always free parking nearby, it is more intimate and welcoming here, the space is light-​filled and beautiful, and the instruction and community here is excellent.
Both prenatal and postnatal classes were wonderful here and the real test — I have felt great both during and after pregnancy as I have attended regularly. I have heard great things about the other classes too and will be integrating into those soon! :)

This is the yoga studio I’ve been looking for! I «shopped» two other studios in Seattle by taking their intro series but neither felt completely comfortable to make the transition from intro to level 1 classes. I got the Living Social for the intro series at Lila and halfway through, I bought a 6 week membership. I have been attending 2 – 3 classes a week (level 1 and all levels) for two months and I LOVE IT. I sleep better, am less stressed, less self-​critical, and more patient.
Viniyoga is extremely adaptable, so you don’t have to be super bendy or strong or have a «typical» yoga body to do it. Outside of having safe body positioning, there is no expectation that your pose looks a certain way. One pose looks a little different for each person. There is no judgement or competition. It’s challenging and refreshing.
Others have noted the sense of community and I completely agree. The instructors genuinely care about you and your experience.
If you are interested in yoga but feel intimidated by jumping into a class, I highly encourage you take the intro series. It is the best thing I have done for myself in the last year, and look forward to continuing my practice at Lila.

Love this place! I hadn’t done yoga in years, but bought a LivingSocial deal and finally used it before it expired. I’m REALLY glad I did — I think I’ve found a yoga studio to stick with!
All of the instructors thus far have been incredibly friendly and helpful. I think I’ve taken classes with three different people so far, all of whom I really liked. The studio itself is nice and all props and mats are provided, which is awesome. AND there’s free street parking which is usually readily available.
The studio has had a few temperature issues (one day it was really hot and the next time I came in it was freezing) but I can certainly overlook that thanks to how great everything else has been.

Great studio, nice light, nice instructors. The classes were fun and not too full. I wish I lived closer.

I love the convenience of the location (yes there is in fact ample street parking in the neighborhood) and the space itself (beautiful and light-​filled I often feel as though I’m in a treehouse).
But more importantly, I’ve really enjoyed classes with at least 5 different instructors here. Despite the differences in style (viniyoga or hatha for example) I’ve found the instructors to be warm, welcoming and very interested in helping individuals tailor the practice to personal needs.

Checked this studio out for the first time as my friend has a friend who teaches here. Studio is a bit difficult to find as it is off the main road up some stairs, but thankfully there is signage. Free two hour street parking is available which is such a bonus in Seattle these days. I can’t tell you how many yoga studios I don’t go to merely for parking issues. All the staff I encountered were super friendly. Studio is spacious on the 2^nd floor. All props and mats are provided which is another bonus. Also two bathrooms. Looks like they do massage here too. The shoe/​coat area is a little crowded, but there is a big entry area. Instructor was great checking before class to see about injuries and also offering suggestions and modifications throughout the class. Glad I checked it out.

I recently started practicing yoga here and have loved every second. The instructors are warm and knowledgeable and the facility is great. My body feels amazing and my spirit nourished. I highly recommend this studio!
