After a long hiatus, I finally returned to my yoga practice in March of this year. I was looking to find a yoga studio that was welcoming and unpretentious with knowledgeable teachers and a good vibe. I was a little nervous to return after several years not practicing, and I expected to have to try several studios before landing on "the one" but I got lucky when I ended up at Westport Yoga for my first class in KC. I tried a few other studios in the area after that first class but I just kept coming back to WY because of the teachers and atmosphere.
I've taken Vinyasa, Vin/Yin, Gentle Flow, and Yin classes and all of them are fantastic in their own unique way. I love that they have no mirrors in the yoga studio. It really allows me to focus on my own movement with less distraction or comparison to others. The classes are accessible to all levels, and focus mainly on going at your own pace/at your own comfort level. Free-to-use Lululemon yoga mats are available, as well as complimentary tea and a small library of books on yoga and other related subjects.
The owner, Lisa, has truly put her heart and soul into the studio. Not to mention, the new studio in Brookside that they just moved to is beautiful and spotless. There is plenty of parking, and it is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I would recommend WY to anyone and everyone!
