Such a wonderful studio. I practiced here well before and during my pregnancy and look forward to returning to the studio soon. The teachers are excellent and there's a ton of class variety. If you're looking for prenatal yoga - Kristine's class is amazing! If you're looking for a vinyasa practice, Jessica and Ashley's classes are fantastic!

If you are pregnant- you MUST try Kristine’s prenatal class on Sunday mornings. I started with her weekly from about 20 weeks pregnant till birth. I have never done yoga before this or with my previous pregnancy, and I truly believe this weekly class improved how my body felt during pregnancy and directly helped my labor as well. Kristine is a great teacher- all the classes were different and it was a great way to reset and start the week. She’s so calming and supportive for each mom. I also enjoyed seeing each mama’s progress throughout the weeks during pregnancy all the way till birth. Such a fun community to be a part of!

The only consistent thing I did during my pregnancy was Sunday mornings with Kristine in prenatal yoga class! The class was a great way to prepare my body & mind for labour! Kristine always welcomed me to class with a smile and made me feel part of the studio from the start of my time at Gud yoga! I highly recommend if you’re pregnant to check out this class. I can’t wait to get back to the studio postpartum. Gud yoga is a beautiful space to practice & a gem in Norfolk.

I truly can not say enough good things about Gud Yoga. Ashley and her team do an incredible job of making yoga both approachable and acessable to everyone. The staff does a tremendous job of not only making the studio a welcoming, inclusive place but a safe space to learn as well. I highly recommend their beginners workshop (which is not just for beginners!). I always look forward to yoga at Gud Yoga!

The prenatal class here is the best!! I encourage all pregnant mamas to try it out at any stage. Only wish it met more than once a week. The studio space is also beautiful and always so clean and welcoming.

GUD yoga is amazing! The staff and community are so welcoming for both newcomers and seasoned veterans alike. Each instructor brings their own approach, but all possess the acumen, compassion, presence, and facilitation needed to allow each member-on-the-mat to grow individually amongst the collective. Happy 5th Birthday!

I have been practicing at GUD for 4 years now. It is a very friendly and inviting studio with lots of great class options. I love the vinyasa flows the most, but I truly enjoy every class they offer. Being a member has many benefits, it’s totally worth it!

Always amazed me when you can find a yoga studio that works the fundamentals of the yoga practice, the incorporation of pranayama, the use of Sanskrit , and also a not heated studio, which is becoming more difficult nowadays. Thank you for all the wonderful classes with knowledgeable instructors.

Love this studio! I was visiting the area and decided to take a few classes while in town for the week. The studio is welcoming, peaceful, spacious and immaculate. I have been practicing on and off for over 20 years and recommend it highly. The owner, Ashley, is a lovely, knowledgeable and dedicated yogi. I took an Align and Flow class with Kira that was perfect for a vinyasa lover. To end the week, there was a Peace class led by Anne. It was a combination of Yin, Yoga Nidra and a sound bath. I understand it is offered monthly and always fills up quickly. It was an absolute treat for me and reminder how healing and restorative yin can be for my body. I have been more of a hot yogi for the last year, so welcomed the opportunity to practice some different classes at GUD. Namaste 💛

The two week pass allows you to try all of the variety of classes that GUD offers - and they are all amazing! I personally love GUD flow and vinyasa flow classes the best but just took an amazing “Pause” evening class. You can’t lose!

GUD Yoga is such a great place that I’m so happy to have found! It is an extremely inviting environment. I immediately felt comfortable when I started coming to classes here. There are classes for every level, and in each class they stress to do what you are capable of, and insure you know that that is okay! I’ve take many pause and precision classes and no two have been the same. Ashley has hired amazing staff that are knowledgeable and compassionate. I have never been a joiner in my life but I am happy to have found a place that I am happy to come to and join in. GUD Yoga has done wonders for my mental and physical health.

As I write this review I am choking up as I reflect on the past 3 years at GUD yoga. This place is a magical gem that I stumbled upon when I moved back to the area. The owner and all of the instructors are stellar. They share their knowledge of the body and the practice of yoga in every class. There is true community in the folks who gather here. I feel blessed to have found this place and it just keeps getting better.

An excellent yoga studio with a variety of classes for all skill levels. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable instructors who provide clear and concise directions for the poses. Other practitioners are respectful and friendly as well. Lovely location with good amount of parking. Every class I have ever taken at GUD Yoga has always left me feeling so thankful for the experience and the practice. I highly recommend attending classes here. Ashley listens to and respects the practitioners as GUD Yoga has added additional classes in time slots that have been requested, so it’s clear to me our opinions and needs are heard and considered. As a studio GUD not only provides superior instruction but also a lovely sense of community. Could not recommend more!

Truly supportive and welcoming environment. They are knowledgeable and respectful of all types of practitioners. They are wonderful at offering a practice that seamlessly supports beginners and challenges. I came as a beginner and I kept coming back because I never once felt judged or out of place. This is a studio that seems to value mindfulness and community above trying to make it feel like a “workout” (although I am in the best shape of my life thanks to them). I’m so happy I found them as a new person in town because it has also introduced me to some incredible people!

The best yoga studio I have ever been to. I absolutely love practicing here and have learned so much in the past 6 months that I have been a member. All of the teachers are so kind, amazing, and willing to answer any questions. They all have different teaching styles and clearly dedicate time to planning their classes. Not only has GUD improved my yoga practice, but the lovely community that the teachers and students foster is truly unmatched. I can't recommend this studio enough!💙

I really can't say enough about this yoga studio. First of all, the space is beautiful - very calm, cool and serene. Stepping into the studio alone shifts your energy. The instructors and classes are all amazing and the experience feels very personal. The other students are friendly and respectful and there's no show off vibe whatsoever. Plus the rates are reasonable. I've been going since last May and the whole experience has been a huge breath of fresh air.

I take classes regularly at GUD Yoga and love them. All the teaches are great. They are experienced, caring, professional and friendly. Every class is familiar but not the same so you are always learning and growing in your practice. And finally there is a great feeling of community there which keeps me motivated. Love GUD Yoga.

Look no further for a tranquil space for yoga and inner work development. Ashley and her team are phenomenal at guiding us through body, mind, and spirit practice. They approach every person with kindness and respect.
A great experience in feeling both physical and emotional well-being growth together. One hour sessions are perfect, always timely and respectful of each other’s time. Sensory selection is spot on - colors, textures, music, and instruction. I highly recommend!

GUD offers a diverse range of class styles. Each one is accessible enough for a beginner and challenging enough if you are looking for that. Every instructor is wonderful and they all bring their own unique touch.

So grateful for GUD Yoga! This is a wonderful studio that feels like an oasis: instructors are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate; classes are beautifully designed to cater to different levels and capacities; and there's a warmth and kindness among practitioners that makes coming to class rejuvenating and invigorating. Especially in times of uncertainty and challenge, yoga can be a respite and GUD offers classes that provide a balance of physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Love this new studio and am proud and happy to be part of the teaching staff there (I teach prenatal on Saturday mornings). The stay and play right there on site lends a uniquely warm and welcoming air to the studio and community being built there. So I'm not the only one in my family who loves going to the yoga studio now. My kids look forward to it too.
Great quality teaching and childcare during many of the classes! Jennifer, who is in charge of stay and play, does a great job engaging with and caring for the kids. Go!!

I love how clear Ashley's directions are. As a visual learner, yoga can be tough if you're getting direction while in a pose. However, Ashley's directions are clear enough that I can follow the sequence even if I'm not looking. Plus, the studio has a great vibe and the culture is fun and supportive no matter where you are in your practice.
