About the Club

Yoga Den was founded in 2002, opening its first studio in the beautiful suburb of Mandarin in Jacksonville, Florida. Offering all-levels classes (MindBody) as well as high energy-athletic classes (Sun Power), Yoga Den created eclectic blends of the styles and lineages that the founder had the privilege to learn from her teachers. With a post-traditional philosophy of β€˜let the shape conform to you, not the other way around’, Yoga Den has always fostered a no-judgment attitude, and encourages students to listen to their bodies.

Absolutely amazing Yoga studio! I’ve been a student of the Yoga Den taking classes, workshops, Teacher Trainings, and special events for over twenty years now. I’ve practiced yoga all around the country and nothing compares to the quality of Alyson and her team at Yoga Den. The studio is always immaculately clean and so very welcoming. Instructors are all super knowledgable and very well trained, each bringing their own unique, creative flair to their classes. Modifications are always provided and students are always encouraged to respect and listen to their own bodies. Jacksonville is so blessed to be home to the Yoga Den studios!! Thank you Yoga Den for everything :)

I recently completed a Kundalini Yoga continued education workshop with Humberto Castillero at Yoga Den, and it was a truly transformative experience. The course deepened my connection to the breath, meditation, and the subtle releasing of consciousness, opening a greater sense of awareness and inner stillness.

I originally completed my Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Den, and it was the perfect studio to return to for continuing education. The community, support, and quality of instruction make it an ideal place to grow both personally and professionally.

Humberto’s guidance was both grounding and expansiveβ€”he created a safe, supportive space that allowed me to explore practices more deeply and experience their profound effects firsthand. His wisdom and presence helped me not only understand the techniques on an intellectual level but also embody them in a way that felt powerful and accessible.

I left the workshop feeling renewed, inspired, and more connected to myself and my practice. I highly recommend Yoga Den and this training to anyone seeking to expand their understanding of Kundalini Yoga and deepen their spiritual journey.

I began practicing at yoga den mandarin four and a half years ago. I knew about Alyson from a studio I started at that had to close. Every one there had studied under Alyson and only had good things to say. I fell in love with Alyson, Kristi and all the teachers. I knew it was where I wanted to do my teacher training. That was wonderful as well. Through Alyson and the other teachers I have learned to connect my breath to my movements. The training was very comprehensive and I learned a lot. I’m looking forward to learning more and practicing the rest of my life. I especially love the idea of grow stronger live longer . Much love to everyone at the den.

I graduated from this studio’s 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2024. At the time, I thought it was great, made friends, etc but I didn’t fully realize how incomplete the program was until after completing another 200-hour YTT elsewhere, I came to understand that I had learned very little here in comparison.

I’ve been practicing yoga since I was a child and have always understood the spiritual depth and complexity yoga brings. Yoga is not simply all about β€œfeeling good” β€” it can bring up deep discomfort, stagnant emotions, and even traumas stored in the body. A good proper training should prepare teachers to hold space for this, but that element was entirely missing.

When I gained international yoga experience, I realized how far this program was from traditional yoga. While the studio does carry the same philosophy that’s repeated often β€” β€œlisten to your body” β€” the broader, authentic foundations of yoga were absent.

Key areas that were missing or very minimal:
β€’ Yoga philosophy and history: Only a few pages were provided (about 7 total), with little to no discussion of the roots and traditions of yoga.
β€’ Meditation & breathwork: There was almost no exploration of meditation practices or proper guidance on breathwork, including contradictions to be aware of.
β€’ Hands-on adjustments & teaching skills: Very little training was given on safe assists or supporting students in poses. Per the instructors words β€œhands on assist died in Covid, we don’t do that anymore”
β€’ Training materials: The manual was outdated and incomplete. In fact, the photos included were over a decade ago (per the owner’s own words), which highlighted a lack of effort to update or improve the materials.

Overall, what was emphasized felt more like boutique fitness than yoga as a holistic, spiritual practice, a way of living. If someone is looking for the physical workout side, this program may appeal. But if you’re looking for a true immersion in yoga β€” philosophy, spirituality, and solid teaching foundations β€” I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I started practicing here when I moved to Jacksonville in 2020 and now I’m a 2025 YTT graduate. I never saw that coming and my brother thought it was hilarious but now I’m using what I leaned in YTT to help him recover from a recent heart attack. Alyson and Lisa teach you that poses are just part of yoga. It’s part of a healthy lifestyle. Yoga Den is a community for me. I don’t think of it as a studio anymore. I work all over the area and I can find a Yoga Den when I’m not close to Mandarin and still feel like home. Thanks Alyson, Lisa, and all my friends at Yoga Den.

I have been a student of Alyson and Yoga Den for over 20 years. I attended teacher training as well and it quite literally changed my life. I have learned so much over the years and continue to deepen my practice as well as evolve as a person on and off the mat. So thankful for this incredible community!

I picked this place for my YTT (yoga teacher training) because of my yoga teacher recommendation. It was very thoughtful and informative. I learned so much and was able to deepen my practice. Shortly after graduation, I started teaching yoga and I was able to apply everything I’ve learned during the YTT to my classes. If you think about becoming a yoga teacher or just want to deepen your own practice, Yoga Den teacher training is a great place to invest your time in.

I graduated in 2025 from the RYT 200 yoga teacher training at Yoga Den Mandarin under Alyson Foreacre and it was an amazing experience! A teacher at the studio who recently graduated from Alyson’s program in 2024 highly recommended the two-week immersion and said it would change my life. She was right! I am so glad I did it and the community, personal growth, and knowledge acquired were worth every penny!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This yoga studio is the real deal and offers the whole package in terms of a full and complete yoga experience. Not many studios speak to all eight limbs of yoga and this studio does so in such a beautiful and genuine way. The owners and staff are so authentic, caring and kind too. And, it is absolutely judgement free creating such a welcoming vibe of belonging and inclusion that is open to any one and any body.

I have practiced yoga in jacksonville for over 10 years. This is by far the most hospitable studio in the city. So many places refuse to even provide you a hand towel for sweat if you forget yours. Yoga den not only provides complimentary hand towels but yoga mats, bulsters, eye pillows, blocks and more. If you are a beginner and don’t have these things (or are just forgetful) yoga den will have your back. Awesome place.

The Yoga Den Mandarin location had a welcoming environment and vibe. As a first time attendee, the instructor of the evening, Jordan, took the time to interact with each of us prior to class and made sure to express that the yoga poses we would be practicing were completely optional based on our skill and comfort level. In addition to that she took the time to explain each pose and the proper way to do it. I would recommend the Yoga Den Mandarin location to others.Thanks for the service!

Michael is a wonderful guide through the physical body. He allows you to become aware of the body in it's entirety, activating and moving throughout the class. After awakening on the physical plane he guides awareness throughout the mind to allow for incredible savasanas. He has one of my favorite savasana dialogues I have ever experienced.

Heather is one of my favorite people on the planet. She tends to bring a little bit of something extra to each of her classes, weaving a theme like one of the eight limbs of yoga throughout her instructions. Her class on Wednesday evening is intense yet graceful while focusing heavily on the breath bringing heat to all parts of the body. She has a way of leading everyone in the room to push just as far as they are comfortable with, and then invites us to challenge ourselves. A gentle invitation to surprise ourselves in the strength present in each of our bodies.

I attended the sun power hour session on a Friday afternoon. I had Khristi as the instructor. I do appreciate the heated room and the techniques that the instructor provided. Some great movements and I definitely detoxed during my first session. Unfortunately, I did not appreciate the rock and roll music in the background to relax as well as to be focused. That's more of a preference on my side. However, the worst experience were the regular attendees that kept talking during the majority of the session. It was more making comments/remarks, it felt to me that it was disrupting my focus. They do have a nice facility and great people at the front and inside.

Why have I not been doing this my whole life? The instructors at Yoga Den are amazing. The atmosphere is welcoming, warm (sometimes literally) and friendly. The instructors are extremely well trained and offer modifications to all the poses. It is a "no judgment" zone. Participants are not just able to participate at their own level, but encouraged. You don't have to be flexible, fit or perfect to take a class here. My favorite part - it helps my spirit, not just my body. Thank you to all the instructors at Yoga Den. You make a difference (and that's just after 4 classes!).
