River Rock has been a consistently welcoming place even if my practice isn’t consistent. The kindness, nonjudgmental, and truly supportive environmental speaks to the amazing yoga teachers. If you’re thinking about trying yoga for the first time, coming back after a hiatus, or just need a change… this is the place! I’ve taken classes with Moira, Anita, Kim, and Logan…and always left more in tuned with my body, mind, and soul.

A truly inspiring & deeply spiritual evening. If you’ve never experienced kirtan in person, Seán & the Wild Lotus Band will give you a taste of something you can’t get enough of. Thank you for a wonderful time, surrounded by wonderful people & energy. River Rock was the perfect studio to host this event, intimate and personal. I highly recommend checking out what all they have to offer!

Recently I went alone to an evening of music and chanting at the River Rock Yoga Studio. As a NYer with lots of yoga and kirtan (chanting) experience I figured it would be enjoyable. I was blown away by the talent, the spirit and the yoga community I found. This was a magical evening with a friendly and loving environment. Seán and the Wild Lotus Band were first rate musicians with soulful voices and beautiful messages. I’d go again for another evening like that in a minute!!!!!

fantastic yoga studio, specifically the hot yoga with Logan! I'm only here for a few weeks and purchased the 5 class pass for hot yoga and I have been pleased every time I go. I would recommend to anyone at any level in their yoga journey.

I took a hips and hamstrings workshop and loved it. I could do this class once a month. It pushed my boundaries and felt great. I found muscles that I didn't know I had.

I’ve been neglecting my yoga practice for a couple years. I decided to try some classes at River Rock Yoga for motivation to get back into it. Danielle’s class was just what I needed! She was very knowledgeable and welcoming. The atmosphere she created was relaxing and fun. I recommend River Rock for anyone looking to get back into practice or anyone getting started or anyone who’s never had an interest in yoga. You won’t be disappointed!

Ever been curious about yoga and how it can benefit you but you're too intimidated to try it? This is the place for you. The beginner class was composed of people of various ages, shapes and sizes. The instructors here are extremely knowledgeable and patient, guiding you through your own unique journey. If you are further along into your journey, they have you covered as well. The hot yoga classes will have you feeling zen and refreshed in no time!

I love this yoga studio, and all the teachers are wonderful and so precious! There is such a calming beauty to be felt there! All the classes are magical! I didn’t think yoga was for me but having had 6 classes so far, I know that it is!
The teachers give such positive, nurturing encouragement, and their experience and wisdom and expertise shine through in the way they conduct their classes.
I am so grateful!

Moira does it again!! Her new space fosters this energetic healing class which offers state of the line heat panels invigorating and you even feel the heat lubricating your joints and muscles. It was a challenging class but you gauge it to your own level. My first of hopefully many hot Pilates and Yoga classes- Looking forward to the future!

River Rock is a great experience for all levels and ages. If your concerned about beginning it is easy to start a practice by taking the 9 week intro course. Then you can find the classes that fit you. The studio is beautiful. Instructors are great. You'll meet friendly people and above all feel great!!

I’ve always enjoyed yoga when I traveled, not thinking it was something I would find in my hometown in Mississippi. However, in my own backyard, I have found a home to practice with amazing and experienced instructors who understand energy and provide an incredible experience. Beyond the practice, the energy of the site is magnetic and you can feel the nervous system orient to it when you walk in the door. I am honored to practice here with likeminded individuals who honor the practice and participants with such love. Thank you for sharing your space and energy with me.

Moira led one of the most unique flows I've ever done. The movements and poses flowed effectively. Combine that movement with the room temperature of ~100 F, and a good workout was had by all. Highly recommended without reservation if you want a HOT yoga class.

I’ve been coming to River Rock (inconsistently) for the past 6 months or so, and I have to say that everyone here is wonderful. They welcome everyone and go the extra mile to provide modifications to poses/exercises without being asked! The instructors are friendly and relatable, the facility is VERY nice and always clean, and they have ample parking. One of the best yoga studios I’ve ever been to!

The coast has needed an integrative wellness center like this for a while…. a loving community filled with kind people. The new building is beautiful. This is so much more than just a regular yoga and hot yoga studio. There is mental health therapy offered by a licensed social worker, plunge pools, infrared sauna, and workshops. While you’re there, I would also check out the coffee shop common ground and restaurant by the fig and olive next door. I’m a big coffee person and common ground is so delicious, the vibe is immaculate. So glad to know this place and this community.

Moira (owner) is nice, Kim (manager) is very sweet, and the other yogis seem so welcoming to new people. The best part, imho, is Alex Ali! He’s such a kind soul, very knowledgeable about all things yoga and herbal medicine, and so very patient and helpful with his offerings of the yoga poses. He is the best! Thank you all for being

98% of the classes I have taken here have been absolutely perfect. The other 2% were probably the universe/God/energy telling me that in that moment I needed to slow down and be quiet. By far my favorite Yoga studio. All the teachings are right on time.

For the past 20+ years I have been going to River Rock Yoga & Pilates. It is a far ride for me so that should tell you something about how special this Yoga studio is! So many beautiful things I could express about RRYoga but the ones that stand out the most is the overwhelming love, calmness, kindness, understanding, and compassion I feel from the people that practice there and most of all the teachers every single time I walk in the front door until the time I have to leave. What I have learned is my practice is mine alone and I have learned to love and respect my body. It amazes me what I can do on that mat! Moira has challenged me in ways I never thought possible and is there to offer guidance and lots of love! Thank you RR Yoga Moira and all your lovely teachers. I plan to be with you another 20 years. YES! Watch me!

River Rock Yoga is a top notch experience!!! The teachers are caring and attentive. Every class I attend opens up my heart and body and has overall improved my life...I started going to River Rock in 2009 to improve my strength and flexibility. Moira suggested that yoga practice should be a part of a daily routine. I'm grateful that I have implemented her suggestion and continue to receive the benefits to my aging body as well as my heart, mind and spirit!!

It feels like a true blessing to have a yoga studio of this caliber on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. One that not only honors the asana in the way that it does but the beautiful teachings of this ancient philosophy in such a gentle and loving way. I started attending this studio in the beginning of 2022 and the benefits to committing to a regular in-studio practice have far beyond extended what I could have ever imagined. The community I have found here is like none other I’ve experienced- I simply cannot recommend this studio enough.

One of my favorite yoga studios ever! A wonderful sense of community and care is felt here. The whole atmosphere is so calming. Two specific things I especially loved were the use of many yoga “props” (bolsters, straps, blankets) and that the yin yoga class was 90 minutes instead of just an hour. Whether you’re a yogi or a newbie, go here!!
I only lived in the area for a month while my husband had a class at Keesler, but I was so thankful to find this studio and its kind, welcoming people.

The teachers of River Rock truly hold the heart of yoga in every class. I started classes here in 2017. I moved away from MS and now in 2020 I’ve have had the opportunity to take virtual classes to continue my practice with some of the teachers that have inspired me so greatly. The teachers here meet you where you are. It’s a non judgment, caring and inviting atmosphere. My favorite thing about RR that you don’t find at every studio is that the philosophy teachings of the practice are often intertwined with the classes.

River Rock Yoga and Pilates has been a comfort to me for many years, but now more than ever. When the stresses of these times seem too much, I know I can turn to this beautiful studio to help soothe my mind and release tension from my body. In addition to calming my mind with yoga, Pilates has strengthened and toned my muscles in a shorter time than weight training ever could.

I've been taking classes at River Rock for over a year, and it is a top-quality studio with incredibly talented instructors who share their knowledge and passion for yoga with their students. Going to yoga at River Rock is one of the best parts of my week. I always leave feeling more relaxed and uplifted. I'm definitely not a hardcore yogi, and I'm very inflexible, so don't be intimidated by yoga! There are classes at all levels and even classes for true beginners.

Unfortunately I was hoping to drop in on an anxiety class but the instructor was kind of confusing as to whether or not that would be a good idea as it was a series class. It actually ended up giving me more anxiety just discussing it on the phone. In the end, I decided not to go, but maybe I'll try a beginners class.
