Such a beautiful location, inside and out! My mom and I decided to check it out it since we were in the area (we live about 45 min away but totally would make the drive again for a class) and were greeted so kindly. Very informative and kind staff and a cabin like place located by a little pond area. Great prices, and on Monday evenings, they have a class by donation too which I think is wonderful. I have heart issues, and was told there are gentle options. It’s nice to know there’s a very welcoming option when I need some stress relief.

I’m fairly a new customer every time I walk in I feel so welcomed and walking out feeling so peaceful. 🩷🩷 Recently I PERSONALLY made a mistake with booking and it was handled with the upmost professionalism and one of the OWNERS went truly above and beyond to accommodate for MY OWN mistake! Every instructor/team member I met- have been the sweetest, most empathetic humans but to know the owners are just as so, gives so much (unneeded) reassurance that this is an ALL AROUND BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE🩷🩷 I just moved farther away but I will definitely be dedicating my time to drive there over any other place from here on out!! LOTUS POND FOR THE W!🩷

Everything about Lotus Pond is wonderful. The atmosphere is quiet, tranquil and welcoming. Gentle Yoga classes taught by Sarah, Pam, Karen, Marie and owner Katie have all been great and grounding. People are friendly. The lovely log cabin is surrounded by large grassy areas where we can wander before/after class. Doesn't feel like the city at all. Blessings upon blessings here. Very grateful for this oasis. Jai Hanuman ji!

The owners ( Val & partners) are bias and the environment isn’t truly inclusive. It’s a gentrified community of yogis who don’t embrace the idea of Ahimsa. No one should be mistreated, misled or excluded from a yoga experience or training. Yoga isn’t embraced here. It’s JUST a business.

The class was truly exceptional, and the instructor, Carla, was exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable.

It is hard for me to find words that can describe how incredible this place is. The energy here is so relaxing and refreshing, I feel a sense of relief the minute I walk through the door. My favorite class is Tara’s restorative on Wednesday nights. I just feel so much love and light from Tara she is an amazing soul that I am so grateful to have crossed paths with. I can’t wait to explore more classes here. The lotus pond is different from any other yoga studio in the tampa area, this place feels like home. This place is now apart of my weekly routine and I would recommend to anyone that seeks healing.

I had the liberty of taking prenatal yoga classes with Kristina Amiero-Perez almost my entire pregnancy and she is absolutely amazing. I looked forward to her class every week.

I had a very disheartening experience this evening with Lotus Yoga. I am a disabled person that utilizes my fully trained mobility and medical alert service dog of 5 years. He alerts me to oncoming medical emergencies and consistently mitigates my disabilities. My service dog is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The owner of the establishment however, had no idea that the ADA even existed. Upon entry I was bombarded with demands for my service dog’s certification, to which I informed that there was no such thing. I explained the two legal questions that a place of business was allowed to ask. The rest of my explanation was hardly received. After further educating the staff, I was still told it would be better for me to leave. At this point the class was a quarter way through, and I really didn’t want to stay in a place that discriminated against people with disabilities. I would recommend for my fellow disabled peers to steer clear of this establishment, as there will not be any accessibility or accommodation. Unfortunately, we will not be returning; it was my first time accompanying my sister, a long-time member and yogi at Lotus. I hope that this review prompts the staff to educate themselves on the ADA laws and how they were in direct violation of such.

Went in and had a good session so decided to give the unlimited month a try. Not even a week in and I've had to leave twice due to sheer volume and lack of room. The first time they were offering free yoga so I just let it go the second not so much. Unlimited isnt really unlimited if you frequently find yourself unable to use it due to complications on their end.

I received my 200hr Yoga Teacher Certification from The Lotus Pond a couple of years ago and it completely changed my life! Val Spies has a beautiful spirit and vision that total transformed The Lotus Pond into a place where yogis can come together and just be themselves. All of the teachers are amazing and dedicated to all of the students.

If I still lived in Florida I would go there every day, but I moved to North Carolina and the teachings that I have learned from The Lotus Pond will always be with me. I will continue those teachings through my personal practice and when teaching others. I will also be traveling to Florida a couple of times a year and will definitely continue to take classes and workshops at The Lotus Pond!

The Lotus Pond is all around the best yoga studio I have been to in the Tampa Bay area. When you walk into the grounds it's like entering another realm. A very peaceful serene place. It has 3 yoga studio's, a tea.house, massage spa and even an ayervedic doctor on site. It is more then just a yoga studio, it is a wellness center.
I am proud to say I received my 200 hour yoga teacher training certification at the Lotus Pond. I highly recommend this is program for anyone pursuing a career teaching this ancient art. There are several different teachers that are very knowledgeable in each aspect of teaching and yoga. You will walk out of this program with the ability to create your own classes as well as the wisdom and knowledge to live life more fully and honorably. They even have the option of taking the 200 hours over a 7 month period with a pay as you go plan.
Great school, amazing teachers, beautiful surroundings, and wonderful community. I highly recommend the Lotus Pond for all your yoga needs.

You can work up a nice light sweat too, in this Florida heat - they have fans they run though so it doesn't get too hot.

The Lotus Pond is unlike any other yoga center in the Tampa Bay area and beyond----when you pull up to the grounds you no longer feel like you're in Tampa, you feel like you're in the mountains. The beautiful waterfall in the back is so serene and peaceful. I take a deep breath just arriving. This is all before even entering the gorgeous, big log cabin that houses 4 different practice rooms. The Lotus Pond offers a much wider range of classes, workshops, and events than other studios as well---it's not all about performing yoga tricks or sweaty power. You can learn about the comprehensive practice of yoga, involving meditation, ayurveda, and more. And their YTT program is by far the most professional and thorough that I know of. Namaste!
