When I became serious about my dream to become a yoga instructor I found yogaah and Amber. I contacted her with my excitement, because of the level of tradition in the yoga practice. Struggling financially she opened up the opportunity to trade to help with my payments. I finished my training feeling amazing about myself, Amber is super supportive to everyone in her path. Our goal was function over form and learning to have patience with my body and mind. I also had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica for my rocket training, 7 days of surfing, yoga, food and fun. Amazing studio, amazing women, amazing staff. :

I had a great experience with the class itself and yoga instructor Hope! As somebody who has only done yoga a few times I was a little hesitant about it. It turned out to be wonderful! I felt comfortable with the instructions Hope was giving and it was a very uplifting and relaxing environment. I will definitely be back and recommend this studio and instructor!

Dont come here if you're a beginner. I'm an advanced practitioner and a teacher but I brought my teenage daughter to try and get here into yoga and took a class that was described on their website as beginner friendly but the teacher did absolutely nothing but call out the poses at a fast pace with no modification suggestions or alignment cues whatsoever. She also was calling out advanced positions like half lotus, warrior three without blocks and reverse trikoasana on the fly.
I tried to help my daughter as much as I could without disrupting class because of course being new to yoga she was just trying to force her leg into lotus and do these advanced twists. The instructor said after class that too mamy alignment cues can be disrupting for a beginner but there's a big difference between no cues and just a few and if a class is supposed to be beginner friendly it needs cues and modifications and not whipping in and out advanced poses. Its unsafe and you can injure yourself. My daughter left feeling bad about herself saying she couldn't do yoga. Just not a good studio for beginners.

An excellent yoga center located in the heart of Northside! Much love and gratitude to this yoga studio and teachers. After all the years of practicing yoga, I always bring myself back to what I've learned with Amber and her classes. I always feel completely refreshed and renewed after the classes. The great vibes also keep you coming back for more!

Yoga Ah is a great studio filled with experience and knowledge! I have learned so much from going here! It is a fun filled environment that is also challenging and allows you to break through your own walls. Yoga Ah is great for developing your personal practice and the loyalty and consistency of those who attend classes displays this. Highly recommend

My only real gripe is the pre-class experience. I am used to getting to a yoga studio early to set up my mat and just take the time to center myself. With this studio, the teacher often arrives just a few moments before class is set to begin. I was not previously warned of this, so I had arranged time to get there early just to sit around and wait. Once the class actually started, I thoroughly enjoyed Amber's teaching style.
It is hard not to love her passion towards the Rocket system. Well, it is hard not to love the Rocket! It is a genuinely fun practice. I left with my spirit feeling lighter and like I had worked every muscle in my body. I will say that the Rocket is probably best suited for someone who already has yoga experience under their belt. I would recommend taking a beginner's class or getting some general Ashtanga classes to get an idea on alignment and whatnot.
