The studio and teachers are very welcoming. I’ve enjoyed both classes I’ve taken so far and appreciate being able to choose between both locations’ schedules during my intro.
Thank you Becca and Amanda!!

Signing up was straight forward and simple. Amanda, the instructor, was welcoming. She taught one of the best yoga classes I've ever been to - she is very good at what she does. The studio was also clean and well laid out. Excellent experience all around.

Both of the classes I have attended so far have been excellent. Everyone was warm and welcoming so I had no awkward feeling joining in. I am just getting back to yoga practice after a several year hiatus. The classes were challenging and I was able pause and join back in as needed. Both instructors gave modification help without disrupting the flow for everyone else. It was great.

Yoga can feel so elitist or unapproachable. This is not the case with Authentic. I don't have friends that go frequently, nor do I feel confident in necessarily making them with peers I see at these classes, but I never feel like it's inaccessible or that I don't belong. The environment is welcoming and supportive. I feel celebrated for showing up, not ostracized for lack of knowledge or skill. They encourage to rest during class if needed and move at your own pace- but offer challenges. They simplify everything, but it’s still challenging if you practice frequently. Amanda and Leah are my favorite instructors- but everyone is wonderful, i genuinely feel so welcome there.

No judgment, classes for all people. Just got to respect the heat. Instructors are encouraging and put on great classes. You push yourself to your limits they are guides.

Katie’s hot yoga class is fantastic! I love that it’s both challenging and dynamic, keeping me fully engaged from start to finish. The flow is thoughtfully structured, and the intensity is just right—pushing limits while still feeling accessible. Plus, the music is always on point, adding to the energy of the class.

Authentic Yoga Studio is what I expected for a power yoga studio and more. I practiced in Boston and Cambridge at the original Baptiste Power Yoga Institute for many years and can attest that at Authentic yoga they are true to that empowering practice. Leah's instructions are thorough and her sequencing is fun ( although I am not a fan of balance poses KKK). The ice on the cake came in the end when Leah chanted the Gayatri mantra: it was a very nice treat having that bit of yoga philosophy closing the practice. Also the studio is clean, spacious and elegant.

This past year I've been suffering from hip pain from a prior military injury and haven't found any relief from practicing traditional yoga. Today I took a class at Authentic Yoga in Meridian led by Leah VanBlaricom and I swear my hips feel brand new! I was initially intimidated to take a hot yoga class, fearing I couldn't keep up with everyone there. Leah's class was extremely peaceful, her instruction and modifications were easy to follow, and her mindfulness reminders allowed me to give myself grace when pushing my body to stretch a bit further than I typically do. Leah is extremely educated in teaching yoga, and her passion that shined throughout the class encouraged me to dig deep within to propel forward when my body was tired. If you are procrastinating about taking a hot yoga class and live in Meridian, I highly recommend taking Leah's class at Authentic Yoga Studio Meridian!

It was a 'next level' yoga experience. It felt like a wholistic yoga experience instead of just a yoga class. It is my first class at your studio. The instructor was welcoming and down to earth. I appreciated her calmness and openness.

I just got out of Christmas Day Yoga with Sean and wanted to share how grateful I am for this studio offering classes on Holidays and convenient times throughout the week. You can expect the same structure from all instructors while they each add their own personality to the practice. Highly recommend you check out Authentic Yoga on Meridian or off State St.

Shameful & disappointing. I accidentally made a purchase and have been attempting to get a refund. I’ve called repeatedly, tried stopping in but they were closed when google stated they were open, and eventually emailed them. In an email they said their owner was out of the country and would refund me in a week, 1 month ago. I emailed them back December 3’rd with no response. Is $45 really that important to them? I’m tempted to now submit something to the BBB since they stole my money and now have broken contact with me after I’ve attempted many times to get my refund. I didn’t want to slam a business with a bad review but as a business owner myself, I would NEVER ignore a customer and keep their money. Very odd, very unprofessional, and very deserving of a negative review. Go ahead and keep the money in exchange for this review.

Authentic Yoga is a welcoming environment that supports all on their personal yoga journey. The teachers are skilled, compassionate, and in tune with class needs. This is a place where you can grow, learn, strengthen and find the inner wisdom to guide you through life. With two locations in the Treasure Valley, you can find the location and time that fits a busy schedule. I highly recommend this studio!

This was my very first yoga class and I’m 47 and out of shape. Sarah was great. She gave me a tour of the facility and explained how the class would go and what to expect so my first yoga class felt way less intimidating. She facilitated the class really well too. It was a warm and accepting environment from the moment I walked in. Excited to try more classes and meet more of the instructors this week!

Coming from a CrossFit background yoga has been a different pace for me. I have only attended a couple classes so far, but Amanda (instructor/owner) has been so welcoming and kind and put me at ease. I’ve done 2 hot yoga classes ever and was a little nervous due to my previous experience. I loved the welcoming, open, and calm atmosphere that Authentic Yoga provides. It’s challenging but not to the point that I feel that I can’t participate even though I’m out of shape and nursing a few injuries. The class is easy to follow and the little cues are so simple, yet effective. I wanted something that would ground me and get me in a better head space and this has definitely been it. Thank you!

This studio is super clean, nice ambient, instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable & very helpful, everything about this studio was top notch in my opinion.
This was my first time trying hot yoga & Leah made it such a pleasant experience that I can't wait to get back in there, in fact I so want to go back a day later but my buttocks are very sore so I have decided to give it a day of rest before I go back!
BTW, if you haven’t try hot yoga yet let me just tell you how it made me feel, I left the studio feeling like someone handed me a brand new body!!! I know that sounds crazy, but I really felt this way, zero body aches, pains or tension anywhere in my body, it was absolutely AMAZING! I want hot yoga everyday in my life!

I didn't feel like an outsider as my first time. The teacher didn't impose and it was at my own pace, but she did help with a stance or two when she saw I wasn't there (I think my body was having a hard time listening to me at that point). I discovered that vinyasa was a hard beginner class but didn't feel out of place when I needed to rest (often). I really enjoyed the lights being down the whole time, it added to the relaxing nature of the whole experience.

It was only my first time. Its a very small but warm (welcoming and kind). It definitely doesn't feel greedy and fake like the larger studios in the Treasure Valley. The hot flow was a great mix of heat and humidty. I havent been in Yoga in almost three years and I used to be a die-hard go-everyday-person. I have put on a lot if weight in that three years - and so I had a lot of anxiety about my return to union. It felt really wonderful to be in a warm studio and while my practice wasn't fantastic (far from what it was) but not horrible either. It was right were I needed to be. I will be back to try the Baptiste Flow...as I have never done it, that I know of. The studio needs a much better dimensional sign or banner though. It was hard to find.

Athentic Yoga is the best in the valley for 2 reasons:
1- the place is legit ZEN. For reals. My blood pressure drops about 50 points just walking in the door.
2- the teachers are PHENOMENAL. Zero judgements. 100% awesome.
3- Baptise yoga. 'nuff said.
