If yoga is about positive energy, you will avoid the shorty native Jo parsons Engle. I took Jo parsons Engles class at urban yoga spa around 2012-2014. I took class at shakti Ballard ( permanently closed lol). The devil shorty native jo Parsons Engle manipulates her brain dysfunction meth addict sister Cassandra Leigh Mitchell put an innocent Taiwanese girl in jail after they took $12500 from this innocent Taiwanese girl! You will definitely know to be away this devil native for your good health and well-being!

Shakti has become my go-to yoga place when I travel to Bellevue for work! It's a convenient location on Main Street in downtown Bellevue and takes ClassPass. I usually go to the level 2 baptiste power vinyasa. I do yoga at least once a week and find this class challenging and at the right pace for my preferences. Deb's class is my favorite, but I've enjoyed all the instructors I've worked with.
The studio is spacious and I've always had plenty of room in the morning classes. It does not have mirrors, like most yoga studios I've visited, but that's the biggest difference. Looking forward to my next class!

I purchased a unlimited new student special in 30 days. I living super close from the studio, so I decided give it a try. From now I tried Zak and Lisa, and Susan's classes, so far so good. They are so patient and detail came to correct me several poses. The studio is so neat, even the front desk receptionist are super friendly, they even could memorize my name in the second time saw me entered the front door, really make me feel comfortable.
Will buy the membership for sure. BTW: At the first class the only thing to bother me was the temperature, I never took any hot yoga classes, or higher than room temperature classes. But after several classes, I got used to the temperature.

I love these classes. I do class pass which is 41$ a month and I go to one to two class a week at Shakti. I attend the 1.5 power vinyasa classes. They are a great balance of workout, making you sweat, elevating your heart-rate and stress release.
