Rimmi is a fantastic instructor. After more than a decade of taking her Yoga I class, she still challenges me. It is never boring! Rimmi finds novel ways to safely get her students into and out of poses. My balance has improved over the years, and I find myself retaining my flexibility and strength thanks to her classes.

It's been about 10 years since I resumed practicing yoga. With so many classes, there is always something that fits my schedule and yet allows me to learn at my own pace. As I have progressed, taking one or two classes weekly throughout the years, I have studied with a dozen or more of the instructors here. They respect my limitations, keep me safe, and push me to do even better than I think I can. So every teacher has been my favorite teacher.

I’ve been attending yoga and Pilates classes here for six months now, and from my very first visit, the center’s clean and calming atmosphere helped me feel relaxed and focused on my practice.

Bita and Karen are wonderful. They are so supportive and knowledgeable. They really take the time to understand each person’s unique needs, offering clear instructions along with thoughtful modifications or challenges tailored just for you. Their constant encouragement and focus on proper form make every class feel both personalized and highly effective.

After every session, I walk away feeling more centered and balanced. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed improvements in my core strength, flexibility, and posture, and I’m truly thrilled with how far I’ve come.

I have been taking yoga classes at the Yoga Center for over 13 years now. I started at the Yoga Center because I was trying to get my wife to start exercising more. I was practicing kung fu at the time, but my wife would not try kung fu. I thought it would be nice to take yoga classes with her to keep us both motivated. So one night a week I skipped my kung fu practice and we practiced yoga together. Now I mostly just practice yoga. We have had several instructors over the years, depending mostly on our work schedule, and all have been great. Lately I started the free 20 minute morning meditations, which I find are a great way to clear the mind and start the day with a clean slate.

The Yoga Center of Columbia is a wonderful place if you are looking for yoga classes, pilates, mindfulness and more.
1. The teachers are great. I took classes with a few different instructors and they are all wonderful.
2. They offer many different packages and are super flexible. There are classes offered for any level. Most classes can be taken either in-studio or online. You can enroll for a class and alternate between in-studio and online classes. And you can sign up for a season of yoga and take a different class every week.
4. I believe that everyone feels welcome and comfortable there (men and women, adults, kids and teenagers).
5. There are a lot of various workshops and retreats offered as well.
6. They offer donation classes and they give back to the community and those in need.
7. It is a loving community and a group of people who practice empathy. If you are looking for a place where you want to clear your mind, stretch your body and get all the benefits of yoga, and above all, if you want to "feed the good wolf", give them a try.

Where else can you get free stuff that's so good for your health and wellness? I stand by my initial review. Come for the excellent yoga classes -- benefit from the community of your classmates.

I joined The Yoga Center of Columbia in September of 2020, during the height of the pandemic. I live in Florida and it was exactly what I needed at the time and I will NEVER turn back! I have continued my virtual membership since and have loved every minute. I started with Karen Best's 'stretch and mobility' class and am now a regular in her Pilates 2 classes. Karen Best has been the most phenomenal instructor I have ever had and I have had many since I started 'working out' back in the 80's. She breaks down her exercise routine, giving insight and information that help you understand what you are doing and why. Her calming demeanor and great sense of humor give way to a fun relaxing exercise or mediation experience. I am 62 and feel strong and healthy. I teach 1st grade and was having trouble getting up and down off the floor with my students, but not any more. Thank you, Karen, for all you do to help me stay healthy in body, mind and spirit!

For those out there who are reluctant to try yoga (I often hear "I am too embarrassed"), this is a good time to try it from home via the virtual Zoom classes! Each class offers a much needed 90 minutes of "me time" to recharge!

Love! Love! The Yoga Center for Pilates with Karen. So professional and motivating. Have done the in person and online classes - still giving excellent instruction and personal guidance through zoom. Been doing this 4 years. Karen is such a positive force!

The Yoga Center of Columbia ROCKS! They pivoted to "virtual" classes so quickly - both The Center and individual instructors communicated their love and commitment to the students often! I am a student for life!

I had a fantastic experience at The Yoga Center of Columbia during its quarterly "free class week." After a bad experience at my workplace (it turned into a kind of "competitive yoga," with college athlete interns struggling to keep up), I've been reluctant to try again to see just how limited I am. The three classes I took--Yoga for Healthy Bones and Joints, Intro to Qigong, Gentle Yoga--proved to me that yoga can be for everyone.

I was recently diagnosed with the beginnings of arthritis in my hands. There have been times I'm quite limited in ability to do things with my hands, and it was frustrating to not be able to make crafts for Christmas because I can't manage the tools. After the one session of Yoga for Healthy Bones and Joints, my hands were nearly pain-free! I've been practicing the hand exercises at home, and I'm continuing to get relief.

While my expectation for a yoga class was young, fit women in high-dollar Lululemon outfits and makeup holding difficult poses forever, The Yoga Center of Columbia is not that. Women and men of all ages and fitness levels were coached by instructors who clearly love what they do and want others to find joy in the practice, too. Instructors constantly urged to only do what was comfortable and taught us how to use props to begin.

Even if you don't live in the immediate area, I'd encourage you to give one session at The Yoga Center of Columbia a try. Let people who are committed to practicing yoga properly and safely teach you what yoga *should* be.

The yoga center has a wide range of classes and offerings and even does free classes throughout the year so you can try before you buy. The teachers are skilled and excellent. Most importantly to me if the center is a member of the community. They frequently do fundraisers to support the food bank and other local organizations. They are a special group and I love going here.

I absolutely LOVE this studio. Every class I have taken the instructor has been knowledgable and helpful. I am not a yogi by any means and I never felt out of place or like I was the instructors "special project." They just gave alternative options to the class as a whole so no one feels singled out. I have taken Karen and Julia's classes and have loved every moment!

The most flexible and accommodating yoga place ever! Personable instructors and a wide variety of classes ( from pregnant yoga to yoga for men to meditation and mindful eating, this place has it all. On top of all that, at the beginning of each quarter, the first week of classes are free so you can try them all out and see what you like.

With such a wide variety of classes to choose from, there's a level and style for everyone. Seasonal Free Weeks offer the chance to sample them all. The fabulous instructors are knowledgeable and skilled, each with their own personal style. Scheduling is easy online or by phone, or just drop in. If you miss a class, you can make it up with any other class on the schedule. The director and staff are committed to excellence and well-being. The Yoga Center of Columbia keeps getting better all the time--and you will, too!

Studying at the Yoga Center of Columbia for almost three years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. The teachers are highly trained and responsive to each individual student. The studio is clean and orderly. Men and women of all ages, abilities and body types are welcomed with equal enthusiasm. I recommend this studio with the utmost confidence.

Best yoga studio! Teachers are all excellent, and the whole business is run with great integrity. The flexibility of schedules and generous make-up policy for missed classes is impressive - and makes it possible for me to stay committed to class with a crazy work/travel schedule. Love this place.

It is by far the best place for yoga in this whole area - their class choices are outstanding and they have lovely teachers and staff. Unfortunately, it's a bit far for me to go regularly, plus I pay for two gym memberships so I can do lots of yoga etc. so would be a bit pricey for me, but I highly recommend it for anyone who does not want to do yoga at a gym - I especially recommend it for newcomers to yoga as the teachers at the Yoga Center will give you a much better basis for your future yoga practice - something you don't get at the gym! Here at the Center, the emphasis is on correct posture and alignment, which is extremely important in yoga and most people don't realize it.
Great place!!!

Try a class with Debbie Jensen-Grubb .. you will be refreshed and gain a good understanding of the benefits of yoga. I have been a customer for several years.
