Triad Yoga Institute

I love this place! I go as often as my schedule allows. The instructors are awesome, and take care to really instruct, not just lead. There is a good range of classes available to all skill levels. Just don’t let the outside of the place put you off.

I found this hidden gem by chance and love visiting when in town. The studios are spacious, clean and organized. The instructors are knowledgeable, accept requests and friendly. Lastly, like the ranges of skill levels offered.

As I pulled into an ancient, decaying shopping center with shuttered storefronts, I thought I might have made a mistake in prepaying online for a class here with my mother. Luckily, when we entered, all doubts washed away. In fact, I think this is the nicest yoga studio I’ve ever been to. The exercise room is quite large; even though we had 25+ students in our class, it wasn’t crowded, and there was plenty of room to stretch your arms overhead and in a T. One wall is windows, so there’s natural light. The others are covered in a decorative paneling. The lack of mirrors really helped me focus on my breath and my drishtis, but some practitioners may not like the lack of visual feedback. Back in the lobby, there are lots of cubby holes for your personal items. They stock plenty of props — mats, eye pillows, straps, blocks, blankets, and eggs (oval shaped blocks, which are amazing for restorative poses on the lumbar region). There are other rooms, which appear to be used for massage therapy and other sessions. The bathrooms were nice and clean, and thoughtfully stocked with tampons and elastic hair ties. Since I attended with my reluctant mother, I chose a gentle yoga class to ease her in. The instructor was really wonderful — lighthearted and funny, but also helpful with verbal explanations and adjustments. The class was well-​paced, and: very: gentle… good for newbies or an older set, but more experienced practitioners may not get as much out of the shallow stretching. Luckily, they offer a variety of classes, workshops, and even immersion series — so there’s something for everyone!

Terrific yoga studio featuring a broad array of classes for all levels. Specialty classes for back and other specific concerns. The instructors are top notch, highly qualified, caring, and very friendly.
