My wife and I were celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary recently. We have 4 kids and a busy life. I reached out to Kendyl at Ascend Wellness to see if we could do a private session, but I wasnt sure what we wanted/needed. Kendyl worked with me to develop an ENTIRE experience. When we walked in I was blown away. We did Yin yoga, breathwork, a sound bath (thank you Brooke), had a delicious catered lunch (thank you Kindred Kitchen), then had a wonderful massage and meditation (thank you Divine).

The experience absolutely exceeded our expectations and blew us away.We will definitely cherish this memory for the rest of our lifetime. We have also attended a few of their workshops and classes and the quality and atmosphere cannot be beat. Seriously, if you feel the call for spiritual development, contact ascend and they can help you start down a new path.

When my husband and I moved to Lafayette, last Summer, I was in a mission to find my new spiritual community here in Louisiana. I went to 3 yoga studios and 3 gyms on my first week here in search for the perfect place. I will never forget the first class I took at Ascend. I took a Sunday yin and energy cleansing class and immediately fell in love with this beautifully appointed studio, knowledgeable teachers, and the variety of classes they offered. The students are lovely too. I immediately felt a sense of community. It’s also conveniently located just off Kaliste Saloom and plenty of parking.

Ascend is an incredible resource for the Lafayette community. From the moment I first stepped into the studio, I felt a wave of peace and relaxation wash over me. The yoga classes are small and intimate, making it very comfortable for people of all skill levels, and the teachers are phenomenal!!! Every person in the Ascend community has been authentic, kind, and welcoming. My first experience with a breathwork event called Soul Activation and it was life changing and deeply healing. I cannot recommend this event enough - it is transformative and has changed my life so much that I tell my friends, family, and clients about it all the time. Additionally, Ascend is home to a wellness spa, offering a variety of holistic services from a wide range of practicioners, such as energy healing, coaching, esthetics, massage, crystal healing, yoni steaming, and so much more!

Ascend Wellness Studio is the most wonderful retreat in Lafayette. Every practitioner is fully committed to creating an environment where I feel completely safe to be my authentic self and leave my worries and stress on my yoga mat to truly connect my breath and body. After every yoga class I leave feeling nourished and ready to manage life better! I look forward to the beautiful extended shavasana where they massage my scalp and love the hands on assistance to go even deeper in my practice. Not only do they offer the best yoga in Lafayette they also offer breathwork experiences that are life changing along with energy work and a ton of other holistic services that have helped me manage my stress. I highly recommend Ascend Wellness Studio to anyone looking to raise their vibe and live their best life!
Namaste 🙏

I experienced the magic of this studio via the Women of the Jungle Retreat in Costa Rica. The facilitators, the community, the magic that the owner Kendyl brings together has to be experienced to be truly felt. I got the opportunity to experience the yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and ✨community✨ that this studio has to offer and I can confidently say that you’ll be hard pressed to find a more heart-led group that is committed to the wellbeing of their community. Thank you for everything 🙏🏼✨

Ascend is the place I never knew I needed. My heart is so full here, my cup is filled. It’s like meditation/therapy/exercise/self care all wrapped into one. The wide range of classes keeps it from getting boring! I’ve done yoga , Buti class and low impact cardio. I can’t wait to try them all! At one point during a class I told the instructor I’m not sure what to do here and she says, “all you have to do here is exist” I almost burst into tears 😭 thank you for making a place to escape the daily stress and grind.

Oh. My. Goddess! This studio is absolutely adorable!!! What a hidden gem. The vibe is modern, intimate, and inviting. I have been to yoga studios all over the world and I can say this one is top notch. The instructor Devine was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, grounded, and present. She said precisely the right thing at the right moment. The flow was slow and deep (Vin Yin), which was exactly what I needed, no rushing, and the hands-on assists were amazing. Oh, and the playlist was on point too (super important to me personally). Definitely recommend 10/10! 👌

Can’t wait to come back for my next class and a sound healing soon too! 💖

I had the most transformative experiences at Ascend and I cannot recommend it enough. From the moment I stepped into the serene and welcoming environment, I felt a sense of calm and peace wash over me.

The instructors here are truly exceptional. They are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in various yoga practices, but they also possess a deep understanding of spirituality. Their guidance and encouragement helped me connect with my inner self on a profound level.

Classes here are more than just physical exercises, but a holistic experience for the mind, body, and soul. The combination of gentle movements, breathing techniques, and meditation allowed me to release tension and find balance within myself. Each different class leaves me feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and more connected to my spiritual journey.

The ambiance is simply divine. Soft lighting, soothing music, and the subtle scent of incense create an atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation and introspection. The studio is immaculately clean and well-maintained, providing a tranquil space to practice yoga and delve into spiritual exploration.

The community at Ascend is incredibly supportive and inclusive. I had the pleasure of meeting like-minded individuals who shared a passion for personal growth and spiritual connection. The sense of unity and positive energy among fellow practitioners further enhanced the overall experience.

If you are seeking a spiritual yoga practice that goes beyond physical exercise, I highly recommend this place. It is a sanctuary for those who wish to explore their inner world, cultivate mindfulness, and nourish their soul. Prepare to be inspired, transformed, and uplifted as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.

Overall, my experience at Ascend was nothing short of exceptional. It is a true gem that offers a sacred space for individuals to reconnect with themselves and find inner peace. I am grateful for the transformative journey I embarked upon and I cannot wait to return for more soul-nourishing practices.

Also, Ali is a ROCKSTAR ✨

Was finally able to visit Ascend for the first-time last week, and left feeling humbled, grateful, and completely transformed. It was such a rejuvenating experience for my mind, body, and spirit. As a mental health therapist, I fully comprehend the evidence that supports meditation and mindfulness practices. However, knowing that and experiencing it through Ascend is two totally different things! I cannot recommend Kendyl and her team enough. She and Lois led an amazing experience. They have created such a beautiful, meaningful practice here in Acadiana. We are so lucky to have them. Please do yourself a favor, and check them out ASAP.

Wow, how can I express my gratitude and admiration for the team at Ascend Wellness. I’m going through health issues that involve near-constant pain and discomfort. Last week, Andre helped me with an Inner Alchemy Rejuvenation session, which greatly alleviates the inflammation that my body experiences and today, Kendyl administered a brain tap treatment to me. What moved me to write this note was Kendyl palpable empathy, patience and love she put into her work and into me, her client. This is not work for the team at Ascend, it’s their passion for health and life itself. I can’t recommend Ascend Wellness enough!

I visited this past winter while on a tour, and had the unique opportunity to not only enjoy a class in the beginning of the day, but also to play with one of the owners of this studio in an intimate musical performance during the evening. This event touched my heart deeply, and allowed an opportunity to further connect with all of the potent modalities this studio has to offer. From red light therapy to Cold and Hot plunges, as well as Massage and Yoga specialists, this place is indeed special, and I am immensely grateful it exists—and not just for my sake, but for the sake of the wellness of all those who get the chance to partake in their offerings. Thank you Ben and Kendyl! You both are a true gift to your community. I can’t wait to come back.

I just finished the women’s wellness retreat in Hot Springs, AR. I went open to experience whatever I needed. OH MY GOODNESS! I’m a new person! The activities that Kendyl planned helped me heal my soul and forgive my past (AGAIN). I’d say that every person there had some healing moments. The food was very healthy and delicious! The information learned about cooking healthy food was good too.
The free time gave me time alone to reflect on what I was learning or spend time with the other participants.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to everyone. We all need to heal from something in our past or inspiration to move forward with our dreams and goals.
You owe it to yourself and your family to experience this for yourself. The fun, judgement-free atmosphere was nice too. I’ve never been able to open up like I did on this trip. Partly because I was able to let my guard down.
