SHAKTI Vinyasa Yoga Review

It is a very nice venue with friendly staff. The yoga instructors all offer very different experiences. Classes often get uncomfortably full, but they've never turned me away.

I've stopped going entirely because the temperature became too unpredictable. It seemed like a 'well what temperature do we feel like today?' instead of sticking to the temperature ranges for the level. It still seems to be the least hot yoga in the area (at least from what I can find), but it was often just too much for me (I am fit and have been practicing Ashtanga and/or Vinyasa yoga for over a decade). Despite all the positive energy and great classes, it became an awful experience. There is still a market for non-hot yoga. Don't leave that client base behind!

This is one of the best yoga studio in town! Awesome instructors, very clean and tidy facility, peaceful environment with big room and large windows, and there are many different levels of classes to choose from so there is one that s right for you.

The space is great, bathrooms could be bigger tho, but great atmosphere and mood. Also geat yoga instructors

I purchased a unlimited new student special in 30 days.
I living super close from the studio, so I decided give it a try.
From now I tried Zak and Lisa, and Susan's classes, so far so good.
They are so patient and detail came to correct me several poses.
The studio is so neat, even the front desk receptionist are super friendly, they even could memorize my name in the second time saw me entered the front door, really make me feel comfortable.
Will buy the membership for sure.

BTW: At the first class the only thing to bother me was the temperature, I never took any hot yoga classes, or higher than room temperature classes. But after several classes, I got used to the temperature.

If yoga is about positive energy, you will avoid the shorty native Jo parsons Engle. I took Jo parsons Engles class at urban yoga spa around 2012-2014. I took class at shakti Ballard ( permanently closed lol). The devil shorty native jo Parsons Engle manipulates her brain dysfunction meth addict sister Cassandra Leigh Mitchell put an innocent Taiwanese girl in jail after they took $12500 from this innocent Taiwanese girl! You will definitely know to be away this devil native for your good health and well-being!

I've been coming here on and off since I was in high school and my practice has only grown over the years. I enjoy the classes and wonderful instructors. The techniques and Baptiste practice taught here is just one of my favorites! I've tried different Yoga studios and practices from Hot Yoga to Vinyasa Yoga and this place has always been by far my ultimate go to place. I love the consistency in the quality of instructors, the personal touch with the assit's, the Vinyasa flows with variations and the cute little studio itself. I love the refreshing and energizing feeling I get after attending a class. I know 1-1.5hr class might sound like a lot but it goes by really fast. There are no mirrors and no clocks in the studio so you get to focus on yourself, your breathing which I love. Also if you're worried about the heat its definitely not Hot Yoga but some classes can range from 80-100 degrees and helps you sweat out the toxins. The level 1 classes are definitely more slow paced and they take time to show you the different poses and walk through them a lot more. Level 1.5 and beyond just flow through your practice and go at a relaxed pace with the instructors demonstrating the different poses.It has gotten pricey over the years with being in Downtown Bellevue but they do offer a student discount and I believe 10% off for Microsoft Prime holders.

Plenty of parking in the apartment garage right behind the studio with clearly labeled parking specific for the Yoga studio. There are also a few Main Place Parking spots right outside the garage that people filter out of pretty quickly. Never had a problem finding parking. You can also park at the CVS parking area which is free for 1-2hrs and its like a 2min walk to the studio.

Water fountain is located right outside in the hallway. This is a small studio with only one room but the experience is just wonderful and rewarding. They don't offer lockers but having cubbies to store your items. I've never had a problem leaving my stuff out and I have been coming for years. They have 2 showers and 2 bathroom stalls which can get a little crowded with the back to back classes. Overall, I recommend trying some classes here! There new student package is amazing!

Great beginner-friendly studio with friendly and competent instructors.
