Yoga Box

Had such a great experience with my first ever class with Tess W. She made me feel comfortable and not intimidated. She is such a great instructor. She offers help but also respects people's boundaries. I didn't feel judged or critiqued for my lack of knowledge or skills. Left feeling great and I'm considering going back. Thank you Tess for the great experience; you helped me change my views on yoga

Reviewing as a class pass-er. Plenty of parking. Clean inside. Lived that the bathrooms are inside the yoga room (the whole wall in the back of the classroom has bathrooms). There's lockers. You can rent towels. You can also ask for a lock for the locker, but you may not need it, as the instructor locks the doors prior to class start. I did the recovery class. It was 75 minutes of stretching, a sound bath, good visuals, calming background music (minus the clip with a buzzing bug/fly), and aromatics (lemon grass, and a grapefruit/peppermint one). My instructor was David, I liked him. He was nice. I wish I would've listened better when David had explained the yoga straps were on the back corner (not where the blocks were at)- as this prevented me from doing the class with the straps. Either way, pleasant experience. I'd come back.

I love the college area Yoga Box! I've tried other locations but this one is my favorite specifically because of Natalie! She's the best instructor, her Friday morning Power Flow Vinyasa class is my favorite. I'm glad I joined and incorporated Yoga Box into my workout routine.

Here's a draft for your Yelp review: --- I initially had a wonderful experience at Yoga Box. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the classes were both enjoyable and beneficial for my practice. However, my visit left me feeling disheartened. During one of the sessions, I wore my Star of David necklace as a symbol of my support for Israel. Unfortunately, this seemed to trigger an uncomfortable situation. The instructor accused me of asking too many questions, which I felt was unfair given the context. To my surprise, the owner later called me and expressed that she would appreciate it if I didn’t return to the studio. I was taken aback by this response, as I had only intended to engage positively with my practice and the community. It’s disappointing to see a place that promotes inclusivity not extend that same courtesy to everyone. While I enjoyed my time at the studio initially, this experience has left me feeling unwelcome and misunderstood. I hope the management can reflect on how they handle such situations in the future.

I've been coming to College Area Yoga Box for almost a year and always try to catch the Wednesday or Friday Yoga Sculpt classes with Candice! She has such great energy and motivates everyone to keep pushing through! In general, the instructors have been great and the classes are so high energy that the sweet relief afterwards is so worth the pain! Highly recommend!
