Loved practicing here. Great environment, welcoming instructors, and all around good vibe. A must visit place for yoga practitioners in NOLA whether you're here for the long haul or just passing through.
With so many offerings at the Church of Yoga, there is something for everyone. Whether you've never been in downward facing dog, or feel the urge to fly into challenging arm balances and inversions, you can find a spot on the schedule to fuel your needs. Tara's beginners classes are informative, inclusive, and build a foundation for those seeking what all the rage of yoga is about. Restorative classes offered four times a week, leaning into what we all crave-unplugging!! Love this space and the community.
Church of Yoga is an inviting space for the community to explore what it means to connect to our true selves so that off the mat we become step by step through our daily actions who we are--people who care for another by seeking to change inside/out that which prevents all of us from fully participating in society as equals!
I was treated horribly in the CBD Restorative Yoga class by Chelsea, who is one of the owners of the studio. She felt entitled to taking the props I borrowed for the class because "someone else needed them and I wasn't using them," despite knowing as the instructor of the class that I would need those very props that I did not need in one pose for the very next pose. Until I asked for a replacement prop, she didn't even acknowledge the facts that 1) I now did not have what I needed and rightfully borrowed for myself in this class, and 2) she was to blame for this. My needs were clearly unimportant, and the other recipient of my prop was seen as more worthy of using it. Had she asked if I was okay with donating my prop(s) for a pose that I didn't need it/them in, I would have happily obliged. But she didn't. I was dismissed in my confrontation to her with the very passive aggressive reply that we'd have to "agree to disagree." Not a single person at the studio replied to the complaint email I sent about what happened. The owners clearly do not respect the people who support their studio, nor do they care about resolving conflicts that they cause. This is extremely unprofessional and tasteless coming from an established business. As a local black woman from the seventh ward, I would never recommend this place to any person of color, nor to any person in general.
We visited NOLA for a week and loved practicing here. Great yoga community and teachers. Especially loved taking classes with Dana. Very well designed studio. Highly recommended.
They treat their community like garbage. An example of everything wrong with post-Katrina New Orleans. Do not go here! Plenty of other lovely yoga places in New Orleans that treat their neighbors and community with kindness.

This sounds cliche but it's true: if you've never tried yoga but have always wanted to but maybe fear has been in your way, THIS is the place for you. Dana has wonderful energy and has created a warm, loving and sacred space to find softness in the struggle. I'll be back again and again.
