I absolutely adore this place! And every single person I've met in it.. staff and others coming in for practice. Typically for most, when you're heading in to try something new, or grow in space with new faces, more than anything, naturally, you want to feel welcomed. A Hopeful Balance has absolutely cultivated a space where everyone has a seat at the table. With a variety of classes, for all walks of life, ages and levels.. making you feel as if when you're coming to practice, you're coming to see a community of friends. I've so enjoyed and appreciated their Sunrise Yoga at Union Point with Hope, Heather and their guest teachers (a class they generously provide free for their community), and have especially come to also love their Yin Yoga, Power Yoga and early a.m. Spin In-Studio classes. Always encouraging, lovingly guiding you to meet your appropriate edge, but also just as incredibly mindful of each individual and their personal boundaries. A perfect spot and a beautiful studio, if you're looking for loving space to try something new or to grow in your practice!

I paid for a membership here for 6 months ($115 monthly). Overall I had a decent experience except when it came to cancellation. I gave my 30 day notice on 28 June because I was getting out of the military the following month. I paid for all of July on 27 June but was charged again for August on 27 July. The owner, Hope Stauffer, said that it's clearly stated in the "30 day policy" that I would be drafted again, meaning that I have to pay for 60 days following my cancellation date... I don't usually post bad reviews but I hope it's helpful for someone who is considering a membership.

I’ve told Hope 1000 times I was going to come to her class and finally after a very long time of saying I wanted to, I did and it was AMAZING! I’ve never taken a yoga class so I showed up for the 101. Hope was incredible! She walked us through every pose and made me feel so comfortable with “not knowing” what I was doing! I feel SO great and I’m so thankful I showed up. Hope is truly the best, makes things fun, and her studio is beautiful! ❤️

A Hopeful Balance is a really nice yoga studio in historic downtown New Bern. They offer tons of yoga classes, spin, barre, bellydance, workshops, massage, and teacher trainings. They also offer free classes at the studio and out in the community. Its a great place for anyone from novice to expert....any skill level, no judgement.
