Yogalife Queen Anne

Let me start by saying, I do not live in Seattle. However, I work in Queen Anne & happened to walk by this business almost every day. Back in November I started taking yoga classes at my gym. Though I enjoyed the classes, I wanted to get more of a genuine yoga experience.
So one day as I walked by — I just (in my notoriously cheap nature) decided to look on groupon. Where I discovered a 10 class pass for $ 65, however — it was also a 20% off day. So I think I paid $ 52 for 10 classes. Which is WELL OVER half of the price of the normal rate.
ANYWAY long story short. I have been to 4 of my ten classes & I am obsessed. Terilyn’s 9:30 Vinyasa class (Tues. & Thurs.) is AMAZING. Not only have I learned a decent amount about yoga, I have learned a lot about my body & what it’s capable of. The first class I was fairly certain I was going to die, gym yoga did not prepare me for the level of work out that I was faced with. The next day I was sore on a level I wasn’t aware of (I work out regularly). My balance is improved, as well as flexibility and I am very much looking forward to learning more & paying full price when my groupon is up.
Terilyn is extremely positive and uplifting which is perfect for any yoga newbies, it’s apparent that she loves yoga and her excitement is contagious. I would highly recommend this if you want an «authentic» yoga experience. You will chant, there will be life lesson yoga based stories, it’s hippy — and I love it.

This place is AWESOME! The teachers here are absolutely amazing, personally invested in their students, and constantly remind the students to adjust practice to fit their needs. The studio is clean and warm (just comfortably warm, not hot yoga).
I stumbled on this location because of (1) location and (2) because I’m an injured runner who NEEDS TO MOVE. I tried a few other studios that didn’t do it for me, but this studio has classes that challenge me in new ways and leaves me feeling great each and every time.
You should try Alex’s classes. She is a phenomenal instructor!

This is a nice sized studio and the teachers are nice. I don’t love the way that they have decorated, but whatever. I practice yoga regularly and walked away from my first class here feeling like I was missing something. We did some more advanced poses in the all levels Hatha class and there were lots of opportunities and options to try other poses. The instructor was very kind and gave great direction. But when the class was over (time flew by) I didn’t feel like I had just spent over an hour in class. I’m not sure exactly what it is.

Natalia is a great teacher! I really enjoy her classes; she adjusts to student level and it’s the right balance of instruction and workout. Great studio!

After a few years dabbling in yoga and trying out different studios in Seattle, I wanted to find a place closer to home to really commit to practicing 2 – 3 times per week. I found YogaLife Queen Anne and have been absolutely thrilled with my classes there. I take classes regularly with Frances and Natalia both, and they’re wonderful, caring and attentive instructors who really make an effort to construct thoughtful and mindful practice that’s challenging and also meeting the needs of their varied students. I like the level 2 classes and the all level flow classes. I’ve also had a class with Michael and he was great as well. I can’t say enough nice things about this studio. From the quiet, tucked-​away «hidden gem» location to the details of the interior (warm and cheery paint, lovely incense smells, inspiring and soothing music), everything about YLQA is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Give it a try!

Have recently taken two series of beginner’s classes here and recommend the space and the teachers highly. The space is light, airy and doesn’t have that ‘gym smell’ that I’ve experienced at a lot of other practice spaces. Teachers and staff are lovely, very kind and have a bundle of patience for even folks like me who don’t have too much experience on the mat.
That being said, I encourage you to experience classes with Sharon B. She is an outstanding yogi and lovely person to boot!

I’ve enjoyed classes at both the Queen Anne and Greenlake studios. The instructors are kind, well-​trained, and cater their classes toward students’ abilities.
My only concern is that some of the teachers use incense during their classes and I’m sensitive to fragrances. Lately, I’ve asked that instructors not use incense and they have all been happy to do so but I wish I didn’t have to ask. I only want to inhale air during my practice.
That said, I am still rating this studio five stars because of the quality of the instructors and the atmosphere.

I went to Jenn T’s class a few weeks back and it was stellar. She is an awesome teacher and the space is gorgeous. Highly recommended! For a beginner with some physical handicaps – recent broken ankle and hip replacement – she made it a wonderful experience. It was a class that ranged from the beginner, like myself, to the more advanced. I will be coming back for more!

For some reason my experience at Yogalife left me slightly conflicted.
On one hand, I can’t really find much to complain about. The prices are fair, the teachers I have taken have been nice and catered toward student’s needs, and there are maybe a few less classes on the schedule than most places.
However, it just seems to be missing the «It» factor. If you don’t do yoga regularly, you may wonder what in heaven’s name I mean? Yoga having an «It» factor. But, if you like a studio, you just feel it. I can clearly name my favorite studios and teachers!
Well, the teachers here were pretty good and very nice, and I was also surprised how quickly the class passed, but it was just missing that thing. I went to a restorative class and Hatha level 2 — both of which left me with this same feeling.

I tried yoga at LA Fitness first and about died. I was sore for two weeks and decided I needed to take a beginning yoga class first.
I started an Intro Series at Yoga Life on Queen Anne and had a fantastic experience. I learned the basics of yoga in a comfortable environment and now take classes on a weekly basis.
The instructors are incredibly nice and do a great job explaining the movements and theories behind each exercise. There’s a wide-​range of classes available, it seems like there’s a class to fit all of your needs.
There’s also ample street-​parking within blocks of the facility.
I cannot speak more highly of this place, check it out!

On my first visit the studio was a bit hard to find, tucked in between two restaurants on Boston Street, marked only by one sandwich board leading you up a flight of stairs. After my first class, I knew this space was special, and I immediately took advantage of their special offer (at the time) new student month of unlimited yoga for $ 50. The yoga room has expansive floor to ceiling windows, and is artfully painted to accentuate the charm of the old building, where every creak in the wood flooring adds to the cozy atmosphere.
Each instructor brings a different quality and style to the room — Natalia teaches her evening power vinyasa class with ease and grace, Christina brings an energetic athletic style vinyasa flow, and Michael approaches his classes with a free-​flowing intuition. All the instructors recognize someone in each room, greeting people by name — creating a comforting sense of community that is lacking in other yoga studios in Seattle. The Yogalife space in Queen Anne is a joy to visit, makes me feel like I am coming home, and continues to deliver quality classes no matter what instructor is teaching.

Very consistent experience, restorative chakra yoga class was very relaxing and meditative
Natalia is an excellent teacher! Her all-​levels class was not too simplistic, but not overwhelming and still challenging.
Power vinyasa, drop in, nice plants, lights went off during shavasana, music, sexy people, an all around great experience.

I took an introductory session at Yogalife and really enjoyed it. My instructor, Natalie, did a great job.
Ordinarily, I don’t like yoga, but I really enjoyed my experience at Yogalife and plan on coming back.

Love this studio! Great place to practice. I love both Natalie and Lisa’s style of sequencing and instruction. The studio is well run and staffed, clean, friendly and comfortable. I would love to be here daily.

My journey into Yoga started back in February. I was kind of in a workout rut and felt like I needed a new challenge and to try something new. I didn’t have a clue in regards to the different styles of yoga (it’s all Greek to me; uh, um, maybe it’s all Indian to me), but I knew I wanted a studio that was close to home. There are a few studios on Queen Anne, but a friend of mine highly recommended this place, so I signed up for their Intro to Yoga series. This is a 6-​week series that meets on Sunday (4 — 5:15 p.m.) and costs $ 75.
I definitely got what I wanted when I started the intro program — a pleasurable challenge! Sessions run for 75 minutes and I never thought I would sweat as much I did! It’s definitely a different kind of burn from my traditional weight resistance workouts. Lisa, my instructor, is a very upbeat, supporting person who is passionate about her work. She took the time to explain the nuances of moves and some philosophical/​historical background of yoga. It is always good to get your learning on! My class had about 25 people at the start, but the class whittled down to about 15 left at the end. A side note — I want to work on my flexibility and, in time, I hope to be as flexible as I was when I used to run cross country.
Upon completion of the intro series, I was eligible to purchase a Prana Membership for new members — 30 days/​up to 30 classes for $ 59. That was pretty much a no-​brainer for me! I plan on trying as many different classes and instructors. So far, I’ve tried their Friday Night Restorative, Hatha Flow (Level I/​II) and Gentle Hatha class. Restorative was quite a different experience for me since it focused on the practice of being (this class is also taught by Lisa). It was very calming! The Hatha Flow class on Sunday totally kicked my butt and it felt freaking awesome! Yesterday, I took a Gentle Hatha class with Christina — I learned some new moves and learned that I need to work on my balance (especially with Warrior 3)!
I know my new journey in the world of yoga is a long one and there will
be many peaks and valleys, but I’m definitely enjoying it

I love this studio and the wonderful environment. There is a great sense of community, and the instructors are amazing. I especially love Natalia’s flow classes, as she is super challenging and restorative at the same time. Lisa is also out of this world.

The people are really nice and the instructors are ok, a lot of incense and a little warm. For the price it’s really not worth it for me, I didn’t love any of the instructors and the place gets REALLY full for some of the classes where you’re like 6 inches away from someones butt. eh

I have never, ever, gone to a Yoga class. I am stubborn, competitive and self conscious… but thanks to my DVD player I have been practicing for about 6 – 7 years now. The 2:15 pm Sunday class taught by Frances was my first-​and it was AMAZING. Maybe I am just happy to be proved wrong about working out in public, but Frances was articulate and gentle, but thorough in her adjustments-​I was so immediately at ease I parked my mat front row! I look forward to more of her classes but they are going to be full :)

I won 5 classes at Yogalife through a silent auction for a literature magazine. I was really excited to take the classes, since it had been a few years since my last yoga class.
I went in the class a little nervous because it had been so long, but the minute I walked in to the small office area everyone was REALLY friendly. The yoga space feels so warm and intimate. I was really relaxed the whole time and got amazing workout. I have left every class so far sweaty and feeling like I could float.
I have just been to four classes now and the instructor already remembers me. Last week I took my boyfriend and he even had a great experience.

So, my whole life I was the running, kickboxing, soccer playing type. Yoga didn’t make you sweat! Yoga doesn’t get you going! However, when I bulged a disc in my back, everything sopped. I was getting antsy though, I wanted to move and my husband took this as a prime opportunity to be «Aha, maybe yoga now?» (He’s been a big yoga advocate for many years)
Purely due to proximity, I ended up at Yogalife in Queen Anne. It is amazing. First of all, I had done some ‘gym yoga’ before at Rain Fitness, this is a totally different experience. You sweat, you really sweat sometimes, but it’s not painful. You do balancing ‘counter-​poses’ so you don’t leave feeling particulrly sore, even though your abs were worked crazy, you just leave feeling good and energized.
Yogalife’s instructors are all very eperienced. The environment is very welcoming and non-​judging. The instructors get to know you, take special requests if you are sore, and all are different. This way you can pick and choose depending on what you like, or what kind of work-​out you are looking for that day.
One of my favorite things about Yogalife is the flexibility. There are two studios and you can go between them (the other is in greenlake.) This way you can find the perfect times, or follow around an instructor is you like their style best. The cost is actually pretty good as well. It is cheaper the more classes you get and you can pay for classes unlimited for a time period if you go a lot, or just purchase a set number of classes that you can use over time. Their new member specials are also really good and if you have a chinook book, there is coupon in there for a free class Go! Try it out! Have fun!
