You don’t have to be anything other than exactly who you are. I’ve been going for a little over a month and I already feel stronger and more positive about the body that takes me through life. They have a wonderful selection of different classes. I recommend this studio to anyone who wants to feel welcome and surrounded by positive encouragement.

Where do I even start? This yoga studio is such a peaceful and welcoming environment. Every time I walk in, I instantly feel relaxed and at ease. The vibe here is amazing, and the trainers are absolutely LIT!

I always leave class feeling stronger—both mentally and physically—and more at peace. I especially love taking classes with Gina (yoga), Andrew (movement, HIIT), and Jenna (Strength & Shine and Pilates). They each bring so much energy, knowledge, and care to their sessions.

A huge thank you to Andrew and the entire team for creating such a beautiful space. It’s clear how much heart has gone into this place, and I truly feel lucky to have found it.

If you’re looking for yoga, strength training, or just a great space to move and recharge, I highly recommend this studio!

The community has created a judgment free and welcoming environment where we can all practice yoga and fitness that meets us where we are at. It also pushes us to where we want to go (if that’s what we want) while making fitness accessible and for everyBODY!

I've recently been dealing with high social anxiety and depression. So I tend to avoid situations that involve people. My sister ended up talking me into doing a class Saturday morning and ITS LIT STUDIO made me feel so comfortable within minutes of being there. I didn’t feel judge not knowing a lot. The instructors do such a great job giving you explanations/ alternatives within the movements, especially when you’re new or don’t understand. It’s been a while since I’ve felt low/no anxiety so I appreciated every moment of the class. They really caterer to the mind,body, and soul. I would highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back. They have a lovely variety that can best suit your needs/goals.
