Great place to practice!
I've been a couple of times so far and I definitely need to join and go regularly. There's something about the heat that loosens up the muscles and also makes the session feel more like a workout than a regular yoga class. Somehow, the stretching still feels super relaxing in spite of that. Nikki is amazing and does a great job helping newbies with the poses! Can't recommend this spot enough.
I had mixed feelings about this studio. I was visiting NOLA from New Mexico, where I have a hot 26x2 practice. I wanted to continue that practice on my trip, and Yes, Yoga looked like the ticket. The facilities are lovely, with full showers and the yoga room itself is great, carpeted and heated up, and with a good feeling to it.
Things I wasn't happy about were the way the pricing is set up and the instruction that I got that day. The class is $20 for a drop in, and everything additional (yoga mat, yoga towel, towel to shower) is an additional $2. It starts to feel like you're getting nickled and dimed for every little thing when you are paying a premium price. I'd rather just have paid $25 flat and had everything included. (They do have a traveler's package for $50 for up to 5 days that includes a mat, but I could only do the one drop in class this trip.)
Secondly, the instructor really rubbed me the wrong way. Because I know my practice and my body, I knew I needed a block for a particular pose. When I asked for one, she told me that I wouldn't need one unless I was working with an injury. I was firm and got the block I needed for my practice. Throughout the class, hardly any modifications were offered. I was glad I had my own practice and was able to modify myself to work with my body. Finally, at the end of class, she offered that there was a yin class upcoming, but went on to say that she barely considered it to be yoga? I found this strange -- I have always felt that a yin practice complimented my hot practice by increasing my flexibility in my joints, and it seemed odd to me that she would be sarcastic or flippant about the upcoming class in the studio.
I did get a good workout and that's probably what matters at the end of the day, but when I think about taking a yoga class and paying a premium, I want to have a safe and loving container to practice in and felt like I didn't get that.
Super nice yogaschool!! Nicest people ever! And the dark yoga room is so nice to practice your yoga skills! Loved it!!
Love this space. Love the community, super cute

Recently I visited New Orleans and got a chance to take classes at Yes Yoga. I'll say one word: Yes. Okay, I'll elaborate a bit...
Everyone there was extremely welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in! And my instructors really knew their stuff, which eased my transition into a new type of yoga practice. They tweak and explain and show and guide and suggest all in an exploratory, reach-for-it, challenging way. In other words they maintained the intensity I was looking for while remaining accessible to a newbie; I saw clear improvements in my balance and flexibility in the four classes I took, and in each next class was able to explore and accept new suggestions for "leveling up" my movements, which Yes was always there to provide. In two words: perfect pace.
Doing a 1-week pass and deciding to practice throughout my trip made my New Orleans experience outside the studio a happier, more present one. So I appreciate Yes Yoga's openness to travelers. Cleanly kept studio & lockers + towel & mat provided + cold water filter to fill up before class = definite perks :)
Thanks to the quality of their class I'll be looking for Bikram studios in my area when I return to Philadelphia. I just hope I can find one as good as Yes!
The best yoga experience I've had in New Orleans. Each instructor here offers something a little different, which I love. Together they've helped me grow my practice in a way that makes me feel stronger, healthier and more centered every day. I usually go for the morning hot quickie or find time for the noon class. I really can't say enough about Yes, Yoga :)
Incredible new studio with an innovative approach to the yoga lifestyle. Great location at a good price with classes for all levels. A friendly, clean atmosphere from the moment you walk in. You'll leave satisfied and inspired.
