i recently started practicing yoga @ shakti and what i appreciate about the studio: 1) intimacy: ive been going to level 2 classes and each class is really no more than 8-10 people. you get a lot of personal attention and hands on adjustments from the instructors. if you have questions you can ask during the session as well. 2) challenge: each class session is 1.5 hours, but tough 1.5 hours. i think because its not heated they can push you further with more challenging poses as opposed to what im typically used to at a heated studio. 3) great instructors: ive only taken classes with ashlee but she mixes up the flow a lot and we even got to do sun salutations with blankets and boy was that a core workout! 4) not corporaty: im used to other studios being very "corporate". shakti is definitely much more spiritual. 5) amazing merchandise: love all the jewelry the studio carries, but expensive! there are 2 rooms in the studio, and i believe theyre right next to each other... so sometimes we can hear instructions coming from the other room and its a bit distracting. other than that, i want to try out different instructors. i first heard about shakti through rebecca fink who ive taken a class with before and i knew i had to try shakti out! :) i need to master handstands! p.s. they have kids yoga :)

Yoga Shakti is a great place with enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful teachers and staff. They help you to progress at your own pace and prepare you well for level advancement. It is helpful to find your own inner peace, find something to help keep you physically fit and find a meaning within practicing yoga. The teacher training program which I am involved in, is a true blessing, helping students to be independent and make the most of teaching. It is worth the price. The main teachers I have been going to are Ashlee Goite. She has a lot of upper level moves, but they connect and flow well. There are gentle soft transitions. The practice is not too hard on your body as long as you take necessary modifications. The other teachers I go to are Lauren Dahls class. She does a lot of good prep work for inversions. Another teacher I go to is Colleen Hiebers class. She has a lot of good standing move sequences, high energy, and pushes you to do your best. All the teachers are really good and friendly. I would recommend them. I believe you should do the level you feel most comfortable with and then build up gradually.

PROS: There are plenty of props to go around. There are lots of free loaner mats available if you forget yours or want to double up with your own mat, and the loaner mats are clean, smell mostly fine, and are in good shape. The studio is spotlessly clean. Beautiful, clean, soft bamboo floors. There are more classes available for people who work normal business hours than at most studios. The teachers are yogis, not fitness instructors. Expect to work both your mind and body. Lots of workshops and "community building" events. CONS: One of the studio rooms is pretty small and can get very crowded quickly. There are no mirrors on the walls to help you check your form. The parking situation is usually horrible. No early morning (sunrise) classes. Not a lot of variety in the styles of classes offered (mostly hatha with a few exceptions).

Love, love LOVE this studio! Wonderful instructors and good mix of class offerings to suit your mood/schedule. Parking can be a bit of challenge during peak hours (between 5:00-6:30pm weekdays and after 9:00am Saturdays due to the Farmers Market), so come 10-15 minutes early whenever possible. One restroom, one changing room, two asana rooms (classrooms), and a meditation room. Albeit small, the space is very efficiently utilized! Favorite classes include early morning (6:00am!) Vinyasa with Viviana and Friday evening restorative yoga with Ivy. Great way to wind down your week and relax. Warning: The entire UTC is teeming with little critters (I’m referring to cockroaches). Don’t be alarmed when you see one practicing shavasana or happy baby.

Yoga Shakti has one of the nicest studios built esp. for yoga - really nice bamboo floors and nice lobby area too. I really like their classes and their teachers know what theyre doing (all are certified). All classes are 1.5 hours, as they should be for yoga to give enough time for warm up ans shivasna in the end. Esp. recommend Kellys classes, Sarahs, Toms and a few others. Really cant go wrong with any of the teachers.

Yoga Shakti is hands down the best studio I have ever practiced in. I signed up for a membership within the first week of trying classes and have not regret it. Teachers are amazing, staff are very friendly and fellow yogis are wonderful. I love this place

I really loved every moment I spent here. I bought a Groupon for 10 classes and used it up in less than a month. My favorite class was Colleen Hiebers Level 1-2 on Tuesday and Thursday night. She is great.

Nice studios. They have another location in HB too. They provide loaner mats n yoga blankets, blocks and straps. A true yoga studio. Very friendly staff and convenient classes every week night.

Wonderful staff. Wonderful opportunities. Highly recommend the meditation sessions. My husband and I do them together and it, frequently, is the highlight of our week.
