This yoga studio is like eating your grandmothers cooking after years of not having it . It’s exactly what you think you’re missing in your life. The people and atmosphere just feel like home. Matthew is an amazing human being and even better instructor. I’ve never felt more comfortable as a beginner at a studio. If you can take one of Olivia’s classes…do it and thank me later. She’ll have you leaving that class ready to conquer anything and everything.

I truly enjoyed my experience at Jacaranda Yoga! The focus on the whole being, mind and body is obvious in every part of their practice. Their emphasis on improving as whole, healthy being is refreshing! It’s a great place to start your journey to total wellbeing.

My favorites are Olivia's iron yoga on Monday nights and Matthew's body work sessions. Both have granted me back mobility, strength, and pain free living!
I appreciate the care and attention I receive while at the studio. Not only do the instructors demonstrate hours of education but also true passion. I love knowing that they're always ensuring proper form and postures to keep me from injuring myself in bad form. Highly recommend!

Jacaranda is a hip yoga studio in Peoria, IL. They have pilates, barre, and yoga. They have heated, warm, and regular temperature classes. There is an amazing team of instructors who help strengthen the body and mind! Great music!

I love the hot pilates class with Mallory. I am an ex-dancer and I thought the workout this class gave me was phenomenal. I'm amazed at how the instructors can instruct and demonstrate simultaneously! Wow! It's a great environment for yoga goers of all levels. I left feeling accomplished each visit! First time goers though I recommend bringing a towel, because you will sweat. :D

If you've found yourself reading this review - just go! A wonderful studio with wonderful teachers (all are great but special s/o to Matthew and Mallory) and wonderful classes. I was lucky enough to take a variety and can highly recommend them all. For the beginner and advanced student alike, this is the place to build strength (mental AND physical), deepen your practice, and listen to great music while you do it. The level of care and devotion permeates from the teachers and into the room. Thank you xx

I love this place, especially the Hot Barre!! It’s a roomy space with a lot of different options so whether you want something more chill or more intense, they have it all. It’s also super close to me and other cool spots (:

I took an iron yoga (hot yoga) class with Kayla. It was an amazing workout and my reset for the weekend. All of the yoga instructors are kind and helpful. The studio is cute, comfortable, & clean. You can't beat the 7 classes for 7 days introductory offer either!

If you are thinking of going.. just go!!! You will not regret it. Don’t have a yoga mat? They have some that are amazing quality for you to use during the yoga session! Jacaranda Yoga has been a life changer for me! I look forward to going to these classes and leave feeling accomplished and strong. All of the classes challenge you in different ways. The studio/ instructors encourage everyone to go at their own pace and that makes a big difference for a beginner like me. They welcome questions and suggest alternative positions if the one they are doing is too difficult or too easy for you. I’ve noticed so much progression in my practice and each class has challenged mentally and physically. As for the studio members, they are just as great and friendly and welcoming!

Best yoga experience!! Matthew teaches not only yoga but a new way of living. The class is for all. If you are new, it's wonderful because Matthew reminds us to have our own yoga experience. I can walk into class with any worries or stresses by the end of class, I always feel more grounded in a positive way.

I've been going to Jacaranda regularly for a few years now and it has completely changed my life. Not only physically but mentally. I grew up playing soccer very competitively, so my workouts have consisted of running, lifting and as I got older and further from it, those type of workouts became too daunting. I decided to try and start yoga years before Jacaranda and grew to love it but missed the competitive edge of sports. Jacaranda has filled me up. Their very intense classes are perfectly complemented by standard yoga classes and I love the addition of the intense heat - and IT IS HOT! It forces you to slow down, control your breath, concentrate and pace yourself. Beyond the classes being amazing and well balanced, the people here are the best! This is not a studio to be intimidated by at all. Everyone here is friendly, fun and there for the same reason. The owners and instructors alike have become friends of ours. I'm so thankful I found Jacaranda.

This studio, the instructors and the clientele are family… a family of newcomers and well practiced, very fit people who are all there for the RIGHT reasons. Many boutique gyms can be intimidating to someone starting a new path but here, everyone feels like they ‘belong’. My entire life I wanted to practice yoga but thought it was too expensive and too exclusive. That is NOT the case at Jacaranda. They offer a variety of different passes and plans that make it affordable whether you go once a week or four to five times a week, and as a new client four years ago I felt welcomed immediately by staff and other clients. They offer basic yoga classes and private instruction for beginners, but are BEST known for their INSANELY tough ‘Iron Yoga’, ‘Ballet Barre’ and their newest addition, ‘Inferno Pilates’ classes! These are all hot… and I mean HOT, HIIT style classes that incorporate yoga, ballet and Pilates basics with weights (if you choose), resistance bands and cardio intervals. Each instructor also offers alternative options for each interval depending on your level of fitness. In four years working out exclusively at Jacaranda, I have dropped 30 pounds and three clothing sizes PERMANENTLY (not by some crazy diet plan). I’ve changed the shape of my body DRAMATICALLY by adding muscle tone literally EVERYWHERE and trimming my 47 year old mid-section to the point where if I wanted too, I could go in public with my midriff exposed. After two children and a love of wine, Doritos and Sour Patch Kids candies, I’m the LAST person that would’ve thought that to be possible LOL! In all seriousness… these classes have absolutely, positively rid my life of all stress and anxiety that in the past has actually caused me to experience minor hair loss. The intensity, the heat, the sweat, but most importantly the spirituality taught to me by each instructor has forever changed my life. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gym and you will too!!!! Thank you, Jacaranda, from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Jacaranda is a beautiful studio with a magical vibe. It's very professional, clean, and super easy to register. I've taken class with 4 different instructors and have had positive experiences and progress with each one. Hot yoga with Mathew is definitely my goto class. He does a fantastic job connecting with his students and making them feel like he is solely there for you. I truly look forward to class and always leave feeling better than when I arrived. I highly recommend Jacaranda to anyone interested in improving their physical, emotional and mental well being.

I was invited by a friend one Sunday morning and I went in not thinking I would enjoy the heat. I have only tried yoga a handful of times previously. I am not flexible or familiar with terms and movements. After leaving my first session, I was energized and euphoric. I was immediately hooked. I also discovered the importance of having a good yoga mat. This studio has any and all the extra equipment you may need when first starting out.
Thank you Jacaranda for creating a welcoming environment. I'll be back!

Matthew's hot yoga classes are the bomb-digity! He makes beginners feel comfortable while challenging the experienced partitioner. His knowledge of yoga, care for people and little bits humor are genuine and make for a delightful class!

I've mostly taken classes with Matthew and as a beginner find them challenging but doable. He goes fast but encourages your own speed and I see him slowing down a bit when he realizes there's a newbie in the room. The music is loud but you can still hear the instructions. I would recommend taking a class at Jacaranda.

As a guy, I came into my first Yoga classes here knowing absolutely nothing and expected it to be extremely awkward, but I could not not have been any more wrong. Matt and Mallory do a phenomenal job explaining the postures to beginners, making sure you are comfortable in your practice, as well as helping and encouraging you along throughout your first couple classes. My only regret is that I wish I had started sooner!

I just started classes a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with Jacaranda. The Hot Pilates, Hot Iron Yoga, and Hot Barre have been amazing! All equally challenging but Mallory gives great cues and body checks to make sure your form and workouts are great for your body and your level. So glad I tried these for the 7 day trial! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to try classes!

I have two friends who have encouraged me to attend after they have raved about Jacaranda and I am sooo glad I finally went. The instructors are absolutely amazing and inclusive as are the attendees. I cannot say enough about my experiences so far. I feel stronger and better about myself than I have in a very long time!

I can’t say enough about Jacaranda! I’ve been looking for great barre and Pilates classes since moving from Texas about a year ago... and finally found them this week at Jacaranda! So grateful we have such an awesome place to take yoga, Pilates, and barre here in Peoria.

Love this studio! The yoga classes made me realize what was missing from my own yoga practice - music! Something about the good vibes here creates a comfortable, safe atmosphere to let go of stress & tension, breathe deeply, and really feel the energy inside and outside of the mind and body. The owners & instructors are always checking on me to see how I’m feeling, how I like the classes, etc. They also offer assistance during class to let me know how to improve my posture, which I appreciate, but they will also leave you alone if you prefer. The 7 for $7 deal was enough to snap me out of a bit of depression/PTSD slump. After one week of going to yoga classes, I finally felt balanced again - physically, mentally, and emotionally. The only complaint I have is that there isn’t a locker room. Living about 30 minutes from Peoria, I can’t go back home to change my clothes and get ready for the day if I have other things to do in Peoria. Luckily, there are two large bathrooms where I just take my clothes to change and then do my hair and makeup in the car.

Absolutely loved the classes I took at Jacaranda yoga. The instructors were very welcoming and clear throughout class. It’d be great for all levels, including beginners, as they really try to work with everyone. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for yoga in Peoria!

Always a great experience at Jacaranda! I notice a big difference in my hip mobility and overall flexibility when I regularly attend. I have tried many of the instructors and they are all very skilled and knowledgeable. Matt has been very helpful and I appreciate him being able to find the point of discomfort allowing for growth yet not passing into injury. I would recommend them to anyone, either beginner or advanced as they always provide variations of poses making them easier or more difficult.

I have only been to one class at Jacaranda so far but it was a great experience! I joined a Sunday hot yoga class (it was packed!) for the first one and need to go back and do it again! The instructor was great and focused on listening to your body and not watching/comparing yourself to others which is so important. The studio is beautiful and I will definitely be back!!

I had never practiced yoga regularly before attending a class at Jacaranda, but after my first experience here I knew I needed this in my life. My breathing slows as soon as I enter the studio. It's breathtakingly beautiful in it's sophisticated simplicity and makes you feel at peace immediately. The instructors are all amazing and very knowledgeable. I enjoy each of their different personalities conveyed through their classes. Also, the diversified class schedule has something for everyone at every level. Highly recommend!

Jacaranda is not only hands down the best yoga studio in Peoria, but the best yoga studio I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot). I travel a ton for my job and am always trying to find a local yoga studio to go to wherever I am, and truly mean it when I say that I have yet to find one that tops Jacaranda. Mallory and Matt are just two of the most incredible, kind, and giving people and will make you feel like family from the moment you walk in, all the way to the end. Each of the instructors are beyond kind, helpful, talented, and genuinely WANT to help you on this journey of health and wellness. They welcome everyone with open arms and are so passionate about helping others. Run so fast, don't walk to Jacaranda. Going there once will make you want to practice yoga every day for life!
