Yoga Spot

Had to revise my review. The place is spaceous and clean. Very professional teachers and classes have variety. Not fond of front desk staff because they are children, but spoke to the manager and he is accomodating. Love Olga’s classes on Thursday nights. Would recommend to a friend.

They have very impolite and rude staff at the front desk. Nobody even said hi to me when I entered. Two girls were keep discussing their food order for delivery. Than they called the restaurant to place their order. All that time I was just standing in front of them and waiting until they find a minute to talk to me.
That was my first time at that place and I had some questions about their classes and prices. However, the girls showed me that they are not interested in wasting their time on me. They only told me that I’m better buy a package because it works for new customers only. And at my next visit I won’t be able to get it. I don’t think that I’m going to need one anyway.
The class was not bad… However, I don’t think it worth experiencing that frustration at the beginning of each class.

Terrible customer service, rude and major attitude. Front desk girls and owner are very rude and do not understand the definition of customer service.

I wanted to find a yoga studio much closer to home, and I came upon this place.
Clean? Yup!
Scan cards to reserve your spot in class? Yes!
Different variations of yoga? Definitely.
If I am a beginner, should I start here? Honestly, no.
It would be MUCH easier, and more enjoyable of an experience, if you’ve already been practicing some type of yoga for two or more years. You will be able to flow through the positions with much greater ease, and be able to perfect your form than worry about the technical aspect. I was corrected on my form more than once in the ten or so yogi class, which is always appreciated, since I have been practicing for three years now.
There are men and women of all ages, and the instruction was clear through visual demonstration; not all yoga studios believe in doing this. Although the class I was in was predominantly Russian, I felt welcomed and included; very important no matter where you go.
Be aware that this facility functions as a physical therapy hub, so don’t arrive to your class too early; you’ll be waiting for the yoga room to free up.
In the basement, they have bathrooms, mats to rent, and dress room to leave your clothes and jackets behind. However, it was suggested I bring my purse into the yoga room; there are no lockers to lock your possessions.
Clean, quiet, and soothing environment; worth a visit!

Great place for a good price. Good instructors, most from Dharma. Variety of classes and does not get very crowed so you do get some personal space to maneuver.

I had to come back and edit my initial review. After attending this studio consistently for about 8 months now I am really attached and have seen major improvements in my practice. For beginners I would suggest attending Chi’s class, she describes poses really well and takes the time to go around and correct her students while making you feel really comfortable.
For all level — advanced I am absolutely in love with Camilos way of teaching, motivating and pushing us to try poses that we are all initially afraid of, such as head stand, forearm stand etc… Bad news is that he’s leaving to South America for the next 6 month and is being replaced by Nikki who I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet.
Closest to Camilo came Yannis, shes soft spoken yet her practice is challenging, spiritual and overall great!
Bottom line this is a great local studio, people are great and its affordable :)

Its been a while since I’ve been to this place, I don’t live so close anymore, but they still have many of the same instructors so I think my review is still relevant. Despite what the two-​star review states, I’ve never had an instructor that was a former gymnast or dancer there (not to say that there aren’t any). All of the instructors I’ve had were from Dharma Yoga Center, which is one of the very few «true» yoga studios I’ve seen in the city. Dharma himself is a wonderful instructor/​guru, who has been teaching for 40+ years, and his disciples are all incredibly knowledgeable and advanced in their practice. So much so that they certainly seem like gymnasts or dancers, but in fact they are just very advanced yogis.
Yiannis and Andre are top notch, and Lya was also great. I don’t know if all three are still there. I will say that the former definitely would take the open level classes and make them too advanced for what they were supposed to be, at least a few years ago. I don’t know about now. The person who I think is the owner, Gary, is also a great guy who always seemed focused on getting the best teachers. But I will agree with the other reviewer in that the level of classes is definitely more advanced. But I don’t think that warrants two stars, it does mean that the studio should be a little more explicit about what to expect. But if you’re knowledgeable enough to understand the sanskrit names of the postures, go here and you won’t be disappointed.

The Yoga Spot is great if you do not need instruction and just want to go through your practice. If, however, you would actually like to be taught the positions, this is not the place for you.
Most of the teachers are former gymnasts and ballet dancers and approach yoga with that kind of rigor. I have been to 4 «gentle» classes and one «all levels» class and while it was great to see how flexible the teachers there were, there was very little instruction, no «gentle», and anyone unfamiliar with yoga would be completely lost. As well, even in the «gentle» class for people with injuries there is very little customization for those who are injured.
In general I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants to be taught.
