I attended the Sunday morning gentle yoga class via zoom and absolutely loved the instructor. She used the western term's as well as the eastern for each pose and practice. She didn't go too fast, encouraged listening to your body and we did the entire hour. I will definitely be making this a weekly practice!

Beautiful space and interiors. Friendly staff make it easy to drop-in for class if you're just passing through for travel. Spacious studio and was super fun to take a class fully in German.

Due to my busy schedule, I go here on Saturdays to start my weekend. The yoga instructors rotate each week and I am learning each of their styles. Even though I am a walk-in, they make everyone feel comfortable and allow no judgment because everyone is different. Moreover, they offer to use their yoga mats, blankets, and the yoga blocks for free in case you forgot yours! Overall, this studio offers a variety of courses to find your Zen! I highly recommend!
