Uptown Yoga

I’ve practiced yoga off and on for several years, and have tried many yoga studios, which sort of makes a bit of a ‘yoga snob’ now that I get what constitutes good and bad yoga instructors. While I haven’t tried a lot of other studios, I mostly like Uptown Yoga for the space, and the instruction. In particular, Jess, Alex, Naomi, and Tara all seem to bring a lot of intention to the mat.
I also like that there’s not a lot of pretense, and that everyone is there to learn and improve their practice. I also like how clean the studio is, and always smells nice when you walk in the front door. The students also seem to be in the 30+ category. If you’re looking for the best yoga studios in Dallas, be sure to try this one out. I will also update this review as I get to know more of the instructors.

Great flow class. Very welcoming to someone just dropping in from out of town! Mats for loan were a very nice feature as well. They even have clothes for sale if you forgot yours :)

Uptown yoga is the best! I have been going to Uptown yoga for a year now. The studio is very peaceful and clean. The instructors are so helpful, kind, and encouraging.
I have changed physically and mentally in the year I have been practicing at Uptown.
I am so grateful that Uptown Yoga is available and has become part of my life.

I’ve been going here for a while now and I just love it. Instructors are very good at modifying for the entire class (both for newbies and for seasoned yogis). I always look forward to coming here to sweat and reset. Love Maria’s advanced class, and Alicia’s night time all level. Highly recommend this studio for experienced yogis looking for a vinyasa flow studio in the north ‘burbs.

I had always been curious about yoga but never had the balls to check a studio out. I stumbled upon Esther H’s review of Uptown Yoga and asked her some questions about it. She graciously offered to attend a beginner’s class with me so we arranged our schedules to be able to meet up.
The first class I had for a beginner’s class was with Alicia. She was incredibly sweet and she had a very calm demeanor about her that made you instantaneously feel calm as well. The class was very easy to partake in and it was incredibly relaxing. The beginner class seemed like it served as physical and psychological preparation for beginners who haven’t ever experienced yoga before.
I felt a bit out of touch with everything going on at times though just because I wasn’t familiar with any of the poses at all. I struggled to keep up at times because I was too busy trying to remember what to do with some of my body parts. However, Esther H. reassured me that after I started to remember the poses, that it’d be a lot easier for me.
The second class I attended was a vinyasa flow class with Alexandra. This class is supposed to be for folks of all levels. I saw fellow noobs like me struggle with some of the more difficult poses that required a lot of flexibility. I also saw some folks breeze through even the hardest contortions. However, Alex made sure to pay attention to everyone in the class. I was pleasantly surprised by how, despite being in room filled with people who had a myriad of experience, I didn’t feel like I was the only one struggling.
However, vinyasa flow kicked my ass. I expected this class to be similar to the soothing and slower-​paced beginner’s class but I was completely wrong. This was definitely a class with a bit more energy and I was sweating like a dog the entire time. My core still hurts from some of the core exercises Alex snuck into the class.
I had two very different experiences thus far at Uptown Yoga but I’ve really enjoyed the classes thus far. I plan on going to another beginner class tomorrow before my $ 10 for 10 days pass is up. I’m not completely sure if I can cough up the cash to be a more frequent visitor but I have a few more classes to indulge in before I need to make a decision.

I just realized that I am the Queen of check-​ins for Uptown The Colony!
From my numerous check-​ins, you can probably tell that I come quite often. And not because they have cookies. Although if they did, I’m sure the number would shoot up tremendously.
Small and a great place for yoga, I recommend coming if you’re just starting out. There is a $ 10 for 10 day deal that you can get which I did. It’s a great way to explore the different classes and meet the teachers. Everyone has a unique teaching style and way of practicing.
The beginner’s class is really great. One hour — you’ll feel different. I’ve developed a lot of strength and balance. I’ve also felt a lot more calm. I see tons of beginners and advanced students take it because the teachers are very thorough with the poses. A few often explain the Sanskrit words for breathing that mimics the waves of the ocean. They even talk a bit about the word «Namaste».
It may not seem like anything after the first few classes. But it’s a great feeling knowing when you go into the chair pose that your thighs aren’t burning after a few seconds and you can actually hold the pose for a lot longer.
They have mats and blocks to use or you can purchase them there. I think the price is super inflated inside their little store area so I recommend purchasing yoga gear somewhere else like Amazon.
Come dressed comfortably. Lots of guys come in basketball shorts and a t-​shirt. Mostly girls come in fitted capri workout pants and tank tops. They have a wall where you can leave your belongings too. While you’re in class, the instructor locks the front door before each session so that your personal items are secure. That means — be on time — classes almost often start right on time so come in a few minutes early if you’re brand new.

The owner called and apologized for the miscommunication and I really enjoy going again

Just moved to the area and I’m in love with this yoga spot the teachers are amazing and so are their classes! I found them on groupon and will continue to come when it expires! I love this spot!

Love Love Love this place. The studio is clean and modern, and the instructors are great. This is way better than going to yoga at a traditional gym. Much more relaxing!

Tried new yogi special 10 days for 10 dollars. Had a great experience! Studio is nice super clean spaciouse and decorated in modern style. The instructors are amazing! A little unusual mirrors placement. I personally like to practice my yoga in front of mirrow. But there are still a lot of debates about mirrors in yoga studios at all.
The studio was piecefull and quiet that pleasantly surprised me because it locates in pretty busy place and I took my class there at 5:30pm!
Gave 5 stars with a confidence! And definitely coming back with a bunch of friends!

I’ve been going to Uptown yoga 3 – 4 times a week for the past two months that it has been open and have had a pretty different experience than the previous reviewer.
The instructors are fantastic, and offer modifications for all levels. I am generally one of the more practiced in the class and I have still learned a lot there, including new poses/​variations I had never done before. Also, I spoke to one of the instructors about an advanced class, and they said they’re gauging interest and that it will be coming soon. If you want something from a studio, ask! I’ve also noticed that they generally have a fairly intimate class size and I don’t think you’d have to race to get a spot anywhere in the room, you’ve generally got your pick.
I’ve been to plenty of studios without mirrors, Allen Yoga Center, Black Swan yoga in Austin, and Park Cities yoga all come to mind. I believe the idea is that you’re focusing internally, not checking yourself or others out. The instructors cue alignment verbally and walk around and help with adjustments if necessary.
The classes there are done in an 85 degree room, I’ve never been there when the heater wasn’t working. I’m usually dripping with sweat at the end. I’ve also never noticed outside noise, especially during savasana. There is always yoga-​appropriate music playing, and I’ve really enjoyed their playlists.
I’ve been to plenty of studios and I’m glad that Uptown is the closest to me.

Heard good things about Uptown Yoga, but this location just didn’t do it for me. I tried their new yogi special, 10 days for $ 10. The studio is fresh and modern, but has a serious lack of mirror space. It is hard to see what you are doing or need to correct if you can’t see yourself. There are just a few vertical mirrors on the front wall that you have to race to snag a spot in front of. This is the first studio I have been to without at least one full wall of mirrors. Also, I really enjoy warm or hot yoga and for some reason this studio’s heater wasn’t working a few of the times I was there. Also, the Austin Ranch area is really noisy, so if you enjoy your savasana… good luck. On the positive side, the teachers here are great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. This studio has lots of class times which is nice, I just wish they offered an advanced class at least once a week. Currently, they only offer an ‘all level’ option and it is not very challenging.
