Whole Yoga

I LOVE this yoga studio. The teachers are so nice, it is totally welcoming and unpretentious. There is a wide variety of students, so I don’t feel out of place. I have only been to 3 classes so far, but I have been sooooo happy when I am there and feel so wonderful afterward.

This was the very first place that I ever attended a yoga class, and I really am having a hard time going anywhere else! The atmosphere is one of general acceptance and not at all of judgment. Anyone who is either just starting out, or who does not fit the stereotypical mold of what a person who does yoga must look like, THIS is the place to go. Definitely recommend this place.

Whole Yoga is the most amazing place I have ever practiced yoga. It’s the real deal, and it’s about meeting each student where they are. I have a serious back injury, and i have never experienced anything other than respect and help in finding my own way of doing poses.
At Whole Yoga, it’s not about being cool, or about being a pretzel, it’s about having a safe place to experience the healing magic of yoga.

Whole Yoga doesn’t make me do, wear, be anything I’m not comfortable doing, wearing, being. It’s a relaxing, safe, authentic environment.

On their website, Whole Yoga differentiates themselves with 3 principles: community centered, focused on meditation, and value. After just two classes, I’ve already experienced the difference!
Whole Yoga invites you to come as you are. As someone who has recently started practicing yoga again (and as someone who had very sporadic participation before that), I can sometimes feel a bit intimidated stepping into a new class/​classroom, but not at Whole Yoga. There is no judgment, no competition, no sizing one another up, no feeling like a fuddy duddy because you’re not in spandex. You’ll find people of all ages, shapes, and sizes practicing at varying skill levels.
Someone said previously that this studio is more granola than other gyms and studios and I can totally see that. Classes are held in a simple, carpeted room without any mirrors or special lighting. I like the low key atmosphere, but if you’re looking for a fancier set up, or even something more gym like, you may not have found your fit.
Both of the teachers that I’ve had have been very welcoming and encouraging. Both have focused on emphasizing your own awareness and recognizing your own levels of comfort.
In the past I have paid upwards of $ 14 for a drop-​in class at other studies, so I really appreciate how affordable Whole Yoga has made itself. Most drop-​in, one hour classes are only $ 9 a pop. However, you can purchase 5 credits for just $ 35, which makes each class available at just $ 7. I noticed that if you check-​in on Unilocal,you can take a noon class for just $ 5. I can’t think of a place that gives you more bang for your buck!
If I were to make one suggestion, though, I wish they offered more weekend classes. As of now, there’s only one Saturday class option and only two classes are offered on Sunday.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, non-​competitive yoga practice, give Whole Yoga a try. I’m glad I did!

You’ll find a nice variety of classes here, from restorative yoga, to vinyasa flow yoga. They’ve also added meditation classes, and it’s also a part of every class. In order to maintain a community-​based studio, the prices are affordable. I can’t thank them enough for this!
Satya is a down-​to-​earth teacher who really cares about teaching the postures correctly and about creating a fun and meditative environment. We, as students, benefit from her because her husband is a physical therapist. I can only imagine the discussions around their dining room table… I wonder if they have muscle diagrams hanging in their living room?! «Can we discuss chaturanga tonight honey?» The point is that you’re going to learn the poses in a safe way that will challenge you both mentally and physically. Satya as amazing body awareness and is able to communicate this awareness to help you make subtle, impactful changes in your yoga practice.
I’ve been to almost every class and I’ve found my favorites.
Come find your favorites too.

I’ve been going to Whole Yoga for over four years now. Whole Yoga is everything that a studio should be; welcoming, open, friendly, all the way from the owners, to the teachers, down to the students. I have visited many schools and studios before finding Whole Yoga, many were just to high brow. Whole Yoga is a place where you can start or deepen your practice, feel comfortable, and even become part of the community. I cannot recommend Whole Yoga highly enough!

What a wonderful find! $ 5 drop in lunchtime classes. I have only been to 2 classes so far, but I am very definitely looking forward to many more. This is the best $ 5 I can spend to make myself look better, feel better, and really improve my day. So HAPPY I found this place.

I went to Whole Yoga for the first time today (and I lived right next door for 14 months!) and wish I had gone sooner. The noon class was a great workout to keep me going through the day. The instructor, Satya, who I believe is also the owner, is very welcoming and friendly. I didn’t bring cash or my checkbook, and they don’t take credit cards, and she was really nice about it.
A great class to focus on the fundamentals, although if you’re looking for an intense workout, you’ll want to go somewhere else.

This is a great place to do yoga. I like the lunch time hour long class. It doesn’t matter what level you are at, the instructors are kind and the class in low key. The work out is gentle and easy paced. If you’re looking for a hard core, make-​you-​sweat kind of place maybe you’d be better off at a different place. But for a good vibe class, this place is super. Also, it’s only $ 5.00/hour

This is a very welcoming yoga studio. Less trendy, more granola but the Friday evening Rejuvenating Yoga is heavenly. They have all the gear you need and the teacher (Lori I think was who I had) is so helpful and calming to listen to. She took care to go around to us and re-​position correctly, which I desperately need as a newcomer. They have a small parking lot which is helpful and the drop-​ins are $ 5 a class for the one hour ones. Very cool. If they could just febreze the studio or light some incense to get rid of the musty basement smell it would be much better!

I enjoy the variety of classes here as well as the spiritual calmness in the studio. They have lots of different times as well as teachers. Th web site is very helpful and so are the teachers.

I’ve been going to Whole Yoga since December 2009. I was pretty nervous about being a «newbie.» Shouldn’t have been – the instructors made me feel welcome and talked everyone through each pose slowly. They emphasize working to your own level. I’ve attended almost everyone’s classes – and there are plenty of morning, afternoon and evening classes. Each instructor makes a sincere effort to remember your name. Each one welcomes you as you come in and says good-​bye when you leave. Each instructor has a different style and emphasis. I haven’t left a class yet without learning something! I highly recommend a visit to Whole Yoga!

I’ve been attending yoga classes at Whole yoga for about three years. I was introduced to Whole yoga by a friend who lost a partner and she was looking for a place to practice yoga without the commercialization that often comes with yoga studios. She loved and recommended it to me. At that time Whole yoga offered a community charity yoga class where all donations were given to Brent’s place. My yoga grew from here; after the course was over, I started to attend the Saturday morning class. I really like the instructors and the clients, ranges in all ages and all level. The instructor are tentative and will challenge those who want to be challenged and yet encourage each students to go at their own pace. The only time that I miss a class is when I am out of town. Recently, I transitioned to the prenatal yoga course. I really enjoy the support from the group. At whole yoga you don’t have to worry what you’re wearing and what’s your fellow students are doing. One day, when my schedule permits I would like to attend the teacher training course to deepen my yoga practice. If you’re looking for a trendy place where everyone is slender, dressed in perfect yoga clothes, and practice yoga until it hurts, you’re at the wrong studio. whole yoga is a warm, clean, down to earth studio with great instructors to practice yoga.

This is my favorite Yoga studio in Denver. I have been going to the Wednesday evening class for almost 4 years. Unlike other Yoga studios, Whole Yoga studio is non-​commercial, the teachers I had over the years were all wonderful. Highly recommended for everyone.

I love going to whole yoga. I’ve gone to a couple of different studios in Denver, and this is the best by far. The teachers actually care about you and your needs and remember your name! They are not afraid to try new things or explain them in a different way.
I hope they bring Dance Yoga on as a class!

I am in the Teacher Training program at Whole Yoga and it has been a great experience so far. The training is going on until March, but I have learned so much already. Thanks to being in the training I get to go to classes there whenever I want. I have been to Jason’s, Satya’s, Carol’s, Sarah’s and Elizabeth’s class and they have all been great. I really like feeling challenged and Jason’s and Satya’s classes really do that for me.
I like Whole Yoga because it is not a competitive setting at all. It really is all about yoga and that allows you to be yourself. I have also been to Karyn’s meditation class which is great, but also challenging. If you have never tried meditation you should try this class at least once just so you see what it feels like to chant and be with yourself for a while.
Go to Whole Yoga! Just do it!
