Yoga SRQ Sarasota’s Vinyasa Flow Studio

I love Shiva Rea vinyasa style yoga. I’m very lucky to have a great studio in my hometown, but I always have a hard time finding good studios when traveling. Hands down, this is the best studio in Sarasota! I was able to attend three classes with three different teachers and they were all amazing! The classes are challenging and the teachers are encouraging and passionate!

Nice flooring in a clean studio, lack of a mirror was a big negative for me as an integral part of Yoga practice is being able to view your own poses, no showers. The session was fun & the instructor great, easy receptions, parking is a little limited but the biggest negative for me is the lack of a mirror

My sister and I come down to Sarasota a couple times a year — and while the sunshine and beach are amazing — it’s probably class with Alex on Saturday and Sunday mornings that we look forward to the most. After trying others in the area and not finding what we were looking for, we discovered this studio a couple of years ago and were so happy that we did. We feel welcomed and excited to be there everytime we go back. His class is super FUN, super unique, challenging, with the best music, and will get you totally out of your head and feeling amazing. We can’t wait to go back in a couple weeks!

This studio is awesome. I’ve taken classes from two different teachers, Alex and Robyn. Mother and son.
Joyous, upbeat music fills the room along with Alex’s exuberance as he guides you through a challenging and energizing flow. This is not your traditional yoga class! Free spirited and passionate about his student’s authentic experience, he will make you laugh as you sweat bullets. All levels of yogis are welcomed. Alex actively practices and promotes non-​judgment: of oneself and of others. Come prepared, your vinyassas will be interjected with his funny anecdotes and your resulting belly laughs. Come with an open mind and an open heart; his classes will be ones you reflect on and look forward to with a happy grin on your face.
Inspiring flows bright with Robyn’s unique blend of loving encouragement and heart pumping pose sequences are a trademark of Yoga SRQ’s owner and premier teacher. You never know what sutras await you when you enter her classes. They are challenging to both your brain and your physicality, with great music and encouraging words. One thing you can bank on however, is getting an amazing workout while connecting your mind, body, and heart.
Without pushing, she ensures you get the most out of her instruction safely. Before Robyn, I never knew not to jump back into plank, never knew to keep my shoulders properly placed, or to engage the right muscles so as to avoid injury. This education was a brand new and eagerly accepted element of yoga for me, as it has elevated my personal practice through the roof. There’s no barking of your typical down dog to crescent pose and back again. The beauty of her inventive and creative flows makes my body sing. There is a constant emphasis on allowing the most appropriate form of a pose to bring you into your own body, rather than forcing your body into some unattainable idealized position. She understands and promotes the fact that each day is a different day for your body. For example, an arm balance available to you on Monday may not be available that Wednesday. Her kindness and unequivocal acceptance fills the room. She is truly my teacher, my guide. She has brought together an amazing array of fabulous individuals who join her in making Yoga SRQ one of my favorite places to be.

I just had an amazing evening Vinyasa Flow Class with Larissa! The ppl were all nice and friendly and Larissa was very kind. It was a very dynamic class for All Levels with great Music Selection. At the end of the class we all got cool refreshing towels which i never had seen before in any other Class (would be great after a Hot Yoga Session). I am currently here in Sarasota for vacation and have tried 5 different Yoga Studios. Yoga SqR is very different and special and reminded me a little of back home in Germany. It is close to the Gulf Siesta Keys and Sarasota. You really get to learn and can ask all questions in terms if Asanas/​Pose they give you good instruction/​support. I also did Classes with Robyn the owner, she is also very amazing and dynamic– also Classes by Alex are very dynamic! Its a personal environment, a community — you get to know the others not like other Yoga places where you only walk in and run out.

The best Vinyassa Flow class in Sarasota. Robyn Marin has an energy about her that just makes you want to challenge yourself; feel good about yourself; be a better person and a more aware person. The new studio is beautiful and has a wonderful tranquility about it. The rest of the staff is just as talented as Robyn, but all are wonderfully different. Good prices on the classes and mat rentals. And the lessons taught are priceless. Worth it to check out!

After vacationing in Sarasota for many years, I finally found I great yoga studio. Robyn, the owner, was very welcoming and showed me around. Mara led a perfectly paced class with great instructions, demonstrations, and hands on adjustments.
Classes are small so every student gets individual attention and the floor is extra padded to protect your joints.
When I travel, I use Unilocal but usually don’t pay attention to the people who have only written a few reviews. I assume that they are connected to the business or if negative, have a grudge. Until yesterday, I had never heard of Yoga SRQ. I felt I should write this review because I have been to a few really bad classes while traveling before and I should begin to pay back all of the Unilocalers who have guided me by contributing to the Unilocal community when I find something great.
The level of instruction and vinyasa flow is very similar to classes taught by teachers who have trained with Baron Baptiste, Jonny Kest, and Cyndi Lee.

I just left Sarasota after having been a student at Yoga SRQ for one month. I signed up for Robyn’s Morning Crew for $ 39.00 for the month and it was a fantastic experience not to mention a great deal. Being new to yoga this was such a welcoming environment, Robyn and her other teachers are wonderful in helping you understand positioning and the philosophy of yoga. Classes really mix it up and no prior yoga experience is necessary for several classes. I can’t wait to return to SRQ to take more yoga at Yoga SRQ.

I have been fortunate enough to enjoy an extended stay in lovely Sarasota. Tomorrow I head home to chilly, but also lovely CT. Before heading out I want to mention one of several amazing experiences I had while visiting. Yoga SRQ. I have had yoga «exposure» over the years but never quite found the perfect fit for me. I cant say enough positive things about Robin and Yoga SRQ. I looked forward to every class and went so regularly that I now have a practice that I will continue, once home. The price point is more than reasonable, and the various levels allow one to find the most comfortable class and progress (or not) as desired. Robin is a beautiful soul, gently encouraging and you leave there feeling completely at peace with yourself. The studio is clean and folks usually clean their mats after use. I look forward to returning to Sarasota and Yoga SRQ. In the meantime, I’ll check out Robin’s on-​line classes.
A big Namaste to Robin and SRQ.
