What others are saying about Yoga Pura

We tried the Essential Basics yoga class because I wanted the poses to be really explained. Michael was teaching the class and he was awesome. I am very familiar with yoga and I only did the Essential Basics because it was my friend's first class but he was AWESOME. He really explained and showed every yoga pose. He helped everyone, he lightened the mood with his sense of humor...it was great. I loved everything about the class. It was PACKED but the vibe was awesome... like a family

The office staff is first class. They gave my friend and I a welcome package. I just they are doing everything right there. Their monthly membership is SO reasonably priced... Keep up the great work Yoga Pura!!!

First of all, Yoga Pura is a wonderful place to experience classical yoga. It's a lovely yoga studio with a great, calming vibe, and oddly enough a great place to meditate.

The two teachers I've worked with so far: Rachel and the studio owner Yogi E are wonderful. They are so very patient with beginners (myself included) and work very hard to make sure that you get the most out of your practice. They see when you're getting into trouble and help with props and helpful advice. Also, the yoga that is taught here goes beyond superficial stretching exercise, it goes much deeper, and is something that I've taken out into the world and complements my Buddhist practice very well.

One thing that also merits a lot of kudos is the traditional integrity of the yoga teachers at this studio. They are committed to yoga as a path of personal transformation. As we Buddhists would say, they've got the blessings of their lineage. And I would say they do represent their lineage and tradition well.

Yoga Pura is a little gem of a yoga studio. Inside, you'll find friendly employees, a library full of all kinds of books for sale, and a boutique with clothing and all kinds of fun stuff.

The best part about my visit to Yoga Pura is that it was free! Yes, your first class is free... so there really is no reason not to go... I was given a "welcome packet" with all kinds of information including basic yoga info, the membership info, the class schedule, coupons, and more.
