Bryson Young: Overall, not that much different than any of the other corporate yoga studios in this city, where the whole phony, leotard-wrapped package of “namaste” culture is merely a “fake af” cover for a business model that is faceless, opportunistic, deeply unfriendly to its own membership and clearly devoted only to the bottom line - but still disappointing and shabby. The initial experience was, showing up for class 20 minutes before (“Late comers will not be admitted!”) which meant being made to stand outside in the freezing winter rain in shorts and tank top, while the front desk person scowled at you from behind the window, refusing to answer inquiries as to why we couldn’t wait in the lobby - “It’s our policy here. It’s safety issues. The lobby is being cleaned” (the lobby was not cleaned). Emerging from a class sweaty and uncomfortable to find the showers STILL inoperative, STILL out of bounds; and when asking, as a paying member why this is? You can guess the reply - “It’s safety issues. We don’t know when showers will be available again.” Instruction competent, but just as corporate and devoid of any authentic engagement with the class as the front desk welcome might lead one to expect. But then, just try canceling your membership. Weeks of unanswered phone messages, no means of executing it on the website, of course; the rare moment you find someone actually there at the door, your inquires are met with looks of indignant dismissal and irritation at the obvious microaggression of someone demanding actual answers to actual questions. “Someone will get back to you”; door shuts in your face. No one gets back to you. Meanwhile, they’re still taking your money. After eventually resorting to direct threats of stopping payments oneself, you get an email protesting that this unbelievably poor customer service is simply the way things are done here - “because of the high volume of emails received we aren’t able to respond to everyone in the most timely fashion”. Uh huh - but you’ll still take my fifty buck biweekly. My advice? Just find a small studio, non-corporate, where there’s less phony “yoga love” and instead alittle basic respect and at least an attempt at customer service and care.

Eddie Kibicho: I really enjoy going to this Yyoga location! The staff are very warm, friendly, kind and helpful. All the instructors I have had are clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about their craft as well as have a very keen sense of engagement with what is going on with every student in class. The other practitioners I have met at Yyoga have also been generally warm, kind and engaged in their practice. There's a sauna which I absolutely enjoy to sit in and relax after class. Overall the premises is very spacious and well laid out, the patio is really nice to sit in, relax and soak some sun either before or after class. The teas they provide are always delicious and refreshing. All these things make for not only a great yoga experience but a really soulful, peaceful and enriching human experience that always leaves me feeling nourished and more connected to something larger than myself.

lok ching yeung: Michelle is extremely helpful and professional! She saves me from my neck pain within half an hour. Happy patient :)

Brylee Sawyer: Space was beautiful, clean, welcoming. Hot yoga was hot for sure, but not unbearable. $5 to rent a mat or towel so best to byo. Gabriel was fantastic, really helpful, patient and kind, particularly for me as a beginner. Would reccomend to a friend.

Karen Wong: I have been doing the Bar Method since 2014. What drew me here was experiencing decreased strength, endurance and body awareness after an Achilles tendon repair and having 2 children. During this time, I have gotten to know the wonderful Bar Method owner Carolyn and the knowledgeable and very client centered instructors! This has become my happy place and a space where I have met personal goals with the many classes offered, getting exercise modifications when I needed, encouragement when I was feeling unmotivated and have met many friends who lift and support one another! I strongly encourage beginners to advanced exercisers to join Bar. When I started, I couldn’t do pretzel without tons of props, a heel lift without cramping or a push up on my toes! Now I can!
