I booked the ALIGN class through ClassPass and it was one of the most fun and challenging yoga classes I’ve taken in a while.

The teacher did an amazing job of cueing us and offering mods for both beginners and more advanced yogis. Classroom was heated but not to an uncomfortable level. Also the floor has mat space markers which really helps keep the room spaced out properly in a bigger class.

I parked behind the building in the paid spots but I’m curious if there’s free street parking. That would be a bonus if there was free parking nearby.

Otherwise this studio is lovely and I can’t wait to go back to for ALIGN and some of the other classes soon!

I like the classes but they need to add more afternoon classes. I have to drive to the other location for SCULPT.

it's hard for me to get into working out as I have social anxiety and gyms aren't my thing. I've found that pilates and yoga have helped me in easing myself into getting my body active. the dopamine high after taking classes at shack is insane. more specifically, i'd like to give a shoutout to Kalesta. She's an amazing instructor and all around great person with beautiful vibes. Uplifting and encouraging, while doing a great job at challenging everyone in the room. :)

Great instructors, great studio, great community. The only negative is that they only have 2 or 3 classes per day and sometimes no afternoon classes. This leads to very crowded or fully booked classes and having an unlimited membership means you can't actually use your membership because there's only two classes to choose from and one or both of them might be full. It would be better if they have 4 or 5 classes per day. Paying for a membership you can't fully use is a bummer sometimes.

I have been coming to yoga shack for years. There is a great community and excellent instructors. You can not go wrong practicing here!

I have always liked this studio but feel the current pricings are anti social and anti community. Not everyone can commit to the monthly unlimited and are forced to choose from expensive packaged. It never used to be that way.

Not accommodating. Poor communication. Didn’t allow me to redeem a class packet after a month. Practically stole my money. Also their phone number is wrong on google.

I have been lucky enough to have been practicing with the yoga shack for 15 years since the original shack days! The gorgeous new studio is a far cry from a shack but the owners have managed to keep the original spirit and essence while evolving the business and handling the pandemic graciously. I love Ashley’s creative and thoughtful sequencing, Courtney’s graceful flow, Jessica’s alignment focused vinyasa, and Nikka’s energy just to name a few! Long overdue review! Thank you for providing a safe and beautiful space to practice where one feels like family!

Awesome awesome yoga studio!! Best that I have been to by far in the Sarasota Bradenton areal. A fantastic mix of teachers who are both engaging and very focused on all the students. Class times are also a bonus as they have a very good mix of times 5staryoga!! πŸ‘πŸ‘

BEST VINAYSA FLOW!! If Vinaysa is your yoga, don't bother going anywhere else. I've been going for more than 3 years and have my favorite instructors that match my style, but have tried most and they are all great guides that take pride in their teaching. The studio is minimalist with natural light and high ceilings. I love it.

Simply the best spot to do yoga in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Wonderful teachers and awesome owners who also teach. They have created a very loving and warm community around their business thats evident the minute you walk through the door πŸ’šπŸ™

I have been going to the yoga shack for a little over a year now. I really love the atmosphere. I get so much out of the classes on many levels. I like the way the heating is infrared vs a lamp right above me (which makes me feel gross after).
At the yoga shack I can break a sweat or blow off steam as well as enjoy growing in my yoga practice. I feel I’ve learned and am learning how to be better at yoga, physically stronger, and more mindful in life- it’s been incredibly beneficial for me.
I leave feeling great!
They have a variety of options that make it easy to maintain a healthy habit and regular yoga practice.
I also love that they incorporate elements like essential oils and sound bowls depending on the class/teacher- I can meditate after and not be rushed to sit up right away..which I also appreciate!

Beautiful studio with excellent instructors. I have not been to the LWR location, but heard is it as nice. TYS is a relaxing wonderful place. I can see them becoming a national franchise someday.

I lowered the review because I rarely take their classes because there are not enough non-heated classes. The Sweat class is taking over the schedule. Many fellow students and I have discussed this and how the hot and heated classes are just too HOT. It may be a studio meant mainly for young people. Most pre and post menopausal women have more difficulty taking on that kind of heat.

I agree with the other reviewer about the Core class. I thought it would be more Yoga plus weights like CorePower Yoga. But the couple of Core classes I took were fast paced weight and floor calisthenic moves with no modifications offered.

TYS is the nicest workout studio I have been to in Sarasota. If they had more classes I could attend, I would become a member.

I've been to three or four hot yoga classes at the yoga shack, all of which were reasonably orchestrated with decent cues. With their new location came new offerings, so I thought I'd try their core class. I was sorely disappointed. I'd wanted to work on my core strength, but this class was a lot of calisthenics using bands, more of an allover muscle work out. The class was fast and furious and not at all zen. I didn't expect yoga, but I also didn't expect to be on all fours with a band around my ankles, hopping. Disappointing class.

I absolutely love this studio and have been a student since they’ve opened their first (of 3 locations). All locations are equally beautiful and all of the instructors have the same vibe but are unique in their own way. It feels like home with friendly smiling faces....and they always send me out the door with a beautiful message. I feel comfortable in class to do my own thing and am encouraged to make the hour practice my own. I get a great workout and I love that it’s hot but I don’t feel like I’m going to pass out hot..... like other studios. I can’t say enough.... you just gotta try for yourself

This place feels like home to me. And as someone new to Florida, that is a really good feeling. All of the teachers are wonderful in their own way. I'm always challenged but never feel pressured to go beyond what my body needs. I'm so happy to have found The Yoga Shack.

I enjoy visiting places when I travel. This was my first hot/warm yoga practice and it was great! I found a parking spot across the street. I arrived about 10 min early so enough time to briefly meet the instructor. Registration is on-line so she immediately knew who I was and that I was not local. She asked if if had any issues and welcomed me. The class was very popular and was intermediate but The Instructor offered options for all levels. The size and lay-out of the room places each person at the wall which became another prop. There were mats available for use. I would recommend and hope to return!

Visiting the Sarasota area for a week in April '17 and had several incredible experiences at Yoga Shack. In particular, Warm Power Flow with Rebekka and Warm Power Flow led by Ashley. Both created a wonderful rhythm with powerful messages. ... and the space is perfect.

As a native to Sarasota, this is by far my most favorite studio. I've tried many studios in town in my 36 years and I've finally found "the one". I hear all the instructors are great. Although, I've only been to classes instructed Courtney, Ashley, and Meg. I can say that each of them have an amazing energy and passion for yoga and they bring it into each practice and it flows over into the class everytime. I always leave feeling balanced and grounded. I also find it to be the perfect mix of all people of all ages which makes it welcoming to anyone looking for right studio. Thank you Ashley, Courtney and Meg. I Love The Yoga Shack!!

Great location, great schedule, great teachers, and all for very competitive prices.

+A good combination of technique and intensity for the Vinyasa flow classes.
+6AM classes that are ideal for anyone looking to get a good start to their day.
+Friendly and knowledgeable instructors, each with their own preferences and specialties but a sort of underlying core of similar things that gives you consistency no matter which class you attend.
+A two week "all you can attend" pass that is exactly half the cost of a one month pass. It's the best deal I've ever gotten with the bonus of flexibility for travel schedules and the like.
+They share bathroom and changing facilities with the neighboring gym, so you can change easily after class.

-This isn't a negative but it is something to be aware of: the facilities are not air conditioned, so while it's not hot yoga by any means, be sure and bring a towel because it can get pretty warm even with the fans and the breeze.

Great, vibe-y studio with excellent teachers. They offer challenging vinyasa classes in warm, fresh, Florida air which rewards you with flexibility and detox benefits sans the grossness of hot yoga.

I love The Yoga Shack!! I have always felt welcome even though I am a beginner in yoga. The teachers stress that you should do only what feels comfortable for you and to not feel as if it is a competition, therefor I am relaxed and able to really enjoy my time. The atmosphere is wonderful, I especially like the end of the month Friday night outdoor sessions.
I have also attended a few meditation sessions. They seem to offer something for everyone.
