Dharma was my introduction to yoga and I could not have asked for a better experience! Carisa greeted me right when I walked in for my first class and I felt immediately welcomed.
The classes and instructors have all been top notch and I'm looking forward to attending more classes at Dharma!

The yoga classes with the best ambience, music and atmosphere. The instructors are really nice and help each one based on their needs. Would definitely visit again!

I attended this studio for a single drop-in class. I appreciate this studio for its pleasant ambience. It has nice wood floors; no wall mirrors at the front of the room, instead it has nice imagery; good lighting; and nice folks.
Keith's class was unique (there was a handout at the beginning of class!). I can definitely recommend a visit. I enjoyed mine.
Thanks, Y'all.

The yoga studio is beautiful! I would love to have those hardwood floors one day. Most of the yoga instructors are personable. The only problem was the co-founder Keith. I find his approach to yoga intensely egotistical and misinformed. Aside from that, the last week of my month long membership there, he was sure to tell me that I only have five days left. I responded in a friendly manner, acknowledging that I know. Then, he went on to inform me that I cannot re-buy their Groupon. Well, duh. Why was that necessary? Only little Keith knows. The prices versus what you actually get is not really worth it, imo. Plus, I did feel very weird going to such a spiritually inclined/performative space that is part of gentrifying East Austin. Strange how people work, isn't it? I won't be going back.

I have been taking classes at Dharma Yoga for over five years now. I absolutely love the teachers. Camilla is a gem of a teacher. Her calm and genuine demeanor is very therapeutic. Every time I leave her class, I feel relaxed and calm and life is good. This is my weekly therapy. I love her technique - it's very open, flexible, and she teaches a variety of fun partner work, meditations, and flows. As long as I live in Austin, I will continue Dharma Yoga's classes. It is a true mind-body-soul experience.

My favorite yoga studio in Austin (and I've been to many). Spiritually motivating teachers who put a lot of thought into their classes. Just the right amount of a workout. Amazing community and people.

I don't even know where to begin. I started going to Dharma yoga back in 2009 while I was a sophomore in high school. At their old location near the New World Deli on Guadalupe street, I took my very first yoga classes with the owner, Keith. His aura was kind and understanding, his demeanor was calm and I felt that I could fit in there even though I didn't know all of the poses. It was a safe place.
Now, eight years after my first yoga experience with Keith, Dharma Yoga is unchanged in those beautiful ways that drew me to it in the first place. Dharma has moved to its 3rd location and it feels homier than ever. I have taken several long hiatuses from yoga and I was always surprised to find that when I came back (even after a couple of years) Keith always remembered my name.
The classes at Dharma yoga have a spiritual quality to them unlike any other place I've been. Many other yoga studios are focused more on the fitness of the body, while Dharma emphasizes the strong connection between the body and the mind with the aid of meditation and mindfulness in breathing. Sometimes a class is brought to focus with a short poem or mantra, which for me draws a deeper universal meaning for the practice... I am always so excited when I receive a little slip of paper with a mantra or a poem on the front of my mat, and I will often pin it up in my room or on the dashboard of my car if it has a special significance for me!
In terms of teacher-quality: the owner, Keith is a wonderful human being who takes it upon himself to go out and find other wonderful beings to represent his business and his heart. Dharma studio has many yoga teachers who are educated beyond the realm of yoga and movement, sometimes holding bachelor's and masters' degrees in fields such as social work, literature, and engineering. Many Dharma teachers also hold certifications having to do with the spiritual and philosophical applications of Tibetan Buddhism and meditation. Recently I have branched out to begin taking classes with a teacher named Erika. She is a spunky and spontaneous, upbeat survivor! Her classes have a humorous, inquisitive twist and her energy/strength is contagious.
So if you're reading this and you haven't been to Dharma Yoga, I urge you to come out and share my experience. This little Cherrywood gem of a yoga studio is a welcoming and positive neighborhood environment! You will feel at home, greeted by the smiling faces of other practitioners and the teachers will always know your name.

I love this yoga studio. They're some of the friendliest, most caring people I know. It's a place where they want everyone who comes through their doors to have a positive experience. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Austin.
