I always walk out of a Sivananda Yoga class walking on air. My hips are open, my mind is clear, my muscles are relaxed. I feel light and yet deeply grounded. You can tell from the moment you walk in that this is no ordinary yoga studio. The classes are based on the ancient yoga teachings of India. They emphasize the breath and using it to open up space in the physical body, move energy around, and slow down thoughts. Classes start with breathing exercises (pranayama), then sun salutations to warm up the body, and then classical yoga poses. Sivananda Yoga is the real deal. Practicing here, you experience yoga in the way it's been handed down from teacher to student for thousands of years -- making the benefits of this powerful yoga practice so palpable. It has changed me in profound ways, bringing more health, positivity, and focus to my life. I am so grateful to have this center.

For me, the Sivananda Center is a beacon of light and peace in the city. I feel better just walking in the door. The physical space is bright and cheerful, the staff and teachers are welcoming and caring and there is a diverse and interesting community of students. It is professional and has a laid back and approachable vibe; no fancy yoga pants needed. I took my first class at the Center about 3 years ago and have been attending classes consistently since then. What I love about the Center’s classes is the simplicity and authenticity of the practice. I feel aligned and energized after each class and the effects of the class stick with me.

True to the foundation of what teaching Yoga should be all about. Patience, kindness, focus, with just the right kiss of spirituality, whether you're a believe or not. Gets every part of our bodies moving and working while gently pushing us further and further into the zone. I have been coming to this location for almost 20 years and being one that struggles with discipline and hits the wall often, yikes, I always feel welcomed and non judged on my inevitable return. I love this place and the energy it exudes.

This place is heavenly. I became a member in September of this year. I was a complete beginner and am now absolutely in love and obsessed with SIvananda Yoga. This place is excellent for both beginners and seasoned veterans. I took Yoga I with Ehsan and am now in Yoga II (also with Ehsan). Class sizes are intimate so you receive a lot of attention and feedback from your teacher as you move through each pose. You determine how quickly you progress throughout the course but your teacher will know precisely how and when to encourage you to challenge yourself. I recently began attending open classes as well which are bigger in size but just as attentive to your form and progress. I purchased a monthly pass (unlimited visits) and get great use out of it. There are many other options for purchasing drop in cards, etc. Lastly, I highly recommend becoming a member if you are serious about learning/continuing this style of yoga. The discounts are terrific and you'll be supporting a truly wonderful space. I look forward to taking the positive thinking and meditation course in the near future.
