I never thought I was strong enough to do yoga or barre or that I’d end up loving it as much as I do. The class variety is excellent, and the instructors are incredible. They welcome you with open arms and encourage you every step of the way. I’m so grateful I worked up the courage to attend my first class this past summer!

Several of my friends go to Gypsy rising, and are always telling me how great the classes are . Well, today was my first yoga class. And I selected the chair yoga. I definitely hit muscles that have not been used in a long time. Julie went at a great pace and explained all the movements. I will definitely book another class.

I just finished my first Power Yoga class at Gypsy and I have to say, it was fantastic. As someone who is newer to yoga, I was a little nervous about jumping into "power" but the instructor Amanda was incredibly welcoming and supportive. They offered clear modifications for every pose, making it completely accessible, but still challenging enough to feel like a great workout. The energy in the studio was warm and non-judgmental. I left feeling invigorated and proud of myself for completing the class. Highly recommend Gypsy for anyone—especially if you're a beginner looking for a powerful and positive introduction to yoga!

Had my very first vinyasa class today with Amanda, and as someone who normally does yoga in the comfort of their own home and for maybe 15 minutes at a time I really really enjoyed the hour long class. The breath work was so soothing, the atmosphere was so relaxing the poses were very much beginner friendly I definitely can feel it in my legs hours after but I cannot wait to take another class and see how much I progress!! Can’t wait to come back!

Gypsy Rising Yoga is truly a gem! Every single class - whether it’s Power Yoga, Barre, or anything in between - is absolutely incredible. The instructors are not only highly knowledgeable, but they also have an amazing ability to guide you through each movement with just the right balance of encouragement and support. Somehow, they always seem to know exactly what you need in that moment - whether it’s to be pushed a little further or to simply be at ease with where you are in your practice. 🧘‍♀️

Each class is a reminder to stay present, and the teachers at Gypsy Rising are the kind of people who make you feel seen, supported, and inspired. The energy in the studio is unmatched, and the COMMUNITY is as uplifting as the practice itself! If you’re looking for a place that will meet you exactly where you are and help you grow in ways you didn’t expect, this is it.

This was my first experience with the bowl class, and I loved it! I wasn't sure what to expect. It's almost like getting a massage. I have a lot of stress right now, and this is exactly what I needed. I would suggest having a bowl case on a monthly basis.

I really enjoyed this class. You will hold a stretch for several minutes while relaxing.
Molly did a wonderful job gently guiding us through a quiet stress free hour with the lights off. The entire class was on the floor on a mat. I placed my matt on the floor by the bar , incase I needed it to get back up. I didn’t need the bar.
I highly recommend this class.

Gypsy Rising Yoga is exactly what this small town was missing! They offer a wide variety of classes from barre, to pilates, to vinyasa and yin yoga to fit everyone's preferences and skill level. The instructors are all very knowledgeable about their craft, and they go above and beyond to ensure you are doing the poses correctly. This studio has created such an amazing place with a sense of community and comraderie. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching both the studio, and the patrons, grow throughout this first year. I look forward to many more years as a Gypsy yogi. 😁

I went to my first hot yoga class with my daughter and a friend. My daughter has been wanting to go. My friend was gracious enough for us to be her plus 2. I was not sure about the heat part.

I did a barre class with Autumn and it was the best! She was so encouraging, knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining what to do for a beginner to barre like me. She gave options to make each exercises more or less challenging which was very helpful. Even when some of the exercises became difficult or tiring, autumn was cracking jokes and keeping the spirits high! Her playlist was good and so upbeat too!! It was overall a great workout, with an awesome instructor and I would definitely go back!

I just love the new Gypsy Rising Yoga Studio in Pekin! Owner and lead Gypsy Amanda, has such a sweet and kind way of motivating students to find their own practice. I took the 10:00am Vinyasa class. This group was about 6-7 people. Small but the energy that these women brought to the space, filled the room with curiosity, focus and a burn to learn. Props were used and encouraged throughout the lesson. As someone who has had multiple injuries, I found this class challenging and rewarding at the same time. Gypsy Rising has become my favorite place to practice, I will definitely return!

🌟The instructor was incredibly skilled at guiding participants of all levels, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and supported throughout the session. 🧘‍♀️The class has significantly improved my back mobility, which is something I've been struggling with for a while. The atmosphere was welcoming and inclusive, making it a perfect space for both beginners and seasoned practitioners.
🧘‍♀️The hot session is perfect temp to break a sweat, but not feel overwhelmed with the heat. The cold lavender towel at the end during shavasana is the highlight of the hard work you put into the session.
🌟Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to enhance their flexibility and overall well-being!
