Whole Yoga Review

This is a true yoga studio where you'll get a work out, and you'll learn meditation techniques, and learn the practice of Ahimsa - self-care. I've been coming for years, and I've loved watching Satya grow and change. She's always learning and sharing. You'll find a class for all of your needs. Best of all the studio is affordable - one of the few left in Denver.

Wow! This yoga studio is truly a gem in the City Park Neighborhood. I attended a few classes when Ash Bourke was finishing up her certifications and I loved the vibe of this studio. It's homey, cozy, and comfortable. This isn't the type of place where you need to wear Lululemon just to fit in, the people make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Also, their classes are offered literally all the time. You can hit up a morning class, afternoon or evening class. I really love this space and am highly considering getting a membership.

My favorite yoga studio in Denver. They have classes for every level, and the teachers are wonderful!

I love this place. $5 classes make a guided class available to everybody. They always have fun workshops and great teachers. I'd only been to one class before going to Whole Yoga a few years back and would recommend them to new or experienced students alike.

Best Yin class I have ever been to, all of the instructors are phenomenal. Very relaxing environment, with a great atmosphere.

Come Tuesdays at 5.30! Karyn's 1.5 hr flow is my favourite yoga class in the world. Always amazing, always surprising. Getting properly cued in and out of every asana of a masterfully crafted sequence means 100% integrity and safety from injuries. It's meditation, self-exploration and a full-on workout all into the bargain. This studio comes with a real "sangha" - a committed community of regular practitioners who are in it for all aspects of yoga, rather than just fancy poses and outfits. You will love this place!

I took one class at this studio with Ash Bourke, who also has been teaching yoga for the Women in STEM program at CU Anschutz. She is a great teacher and provides an awesome class for all levels with plenty of relaxation time at the end. I would highly recommend her class!

I love this yoga studio. I have been practicing yoga for about 14 years and I can t imagine going anyplace else. Down to earth environment, knowledgeable & kind teachers, an assortment of classes & a studio with a heart.

I purchased a 3 package of private lessons. Very shortly after that I had to leave the state for a family emergency which has turned into a relocation for me. When I asked for a refund I was told by Satya, the owner, that they don t do refunds. If the circumstances were different I could probably understand. This was completely out of my control. This person is clearly a greedy business owner. She should refund my money. I would highly recommend AGAINST doing business with a person who is only out for money and will happily take your money without any service rendered.

Why would I give 5 starts to this studio and say not others?
What's so different about it?

INTENTION.

Carlos Castaneda wrote in one of his books:
"In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable FORCE which shamans call INTENT, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a [non-visible to humans of today] connecting link."

The intention of the founder as well as its current owner, none of which are friends of mine, I wanted to clarify this just in case... have decided to keep this studio LOW KEY and AFFORDABLE. No 'cool studio', no preppie concept, no upscale and elite 'we are cool, you are not'... low key automatically means, you come in and do your thing, LEARN POSES that will benefit you and only you regardless of the environment.

That's for those curious about this yoga studio -

For those that have never been exposed to Yoga, WHY YOGA?
Why not pilates, jazzercise, kickboxing, MMA, tango or zumba???
Once again, the keyword is INTENTION.

After 7-8 years of knee pain on both legs and having doctors tell me 'We've done MRIs and X-rays and there is nothing 'serious' there, only inflammation i'm sorry but we can't pinpoint THE REASON behind the pain and inflammation... We have however a pain killer, 800mg of Ibuprofen would take care of the pain...
So after I exhausted all kinds of exercises, acupuncture and deep massages and pretty much giving up on the knew pain I once stumbled upon this studio on my own.

ONE POSE (a transition between warrior & triangle) , ONE MINUTE HOLD, and viola! my knee pain went away AND I FELT IT right there and there.
IT BLEW ME AWAY. My pain on the right knee would linger for much longer but since Pandora's box opened it must have been something else going there. I eventually CURED it with a different pose ((Vajrasana / Kneeling pose). I kept asking myself, what is this 'magic'?
Whoever created or structured yoga poses eons ago, they must have been aware of two very powerful things: STRUCTURE AND ENERGY FLOW in the human body.
Just like you have a car where it is ideal to warm up the engine before you start using it, the human body takes a major beating on a daily basis, office seating, arched backs, zero stretching, etc..Office desks were only created 60-100 years ago and our bodies were meant TO MOVE FORWARD on a constant basis, not seating for 8-10 hours a day!!!.
This lack of 'exercise' on a daily basis, is rendering our bodies futile, it is prostrating it to a 'broken toy' status...
When you add mental stress to the mix, a killer combination is then triggered that will eventually end up in PAIN (the levels will depend on each individual pain will arise none the less).

Yoga's INTENTION is then to RESET, to send the body back to its normal 'state' - a painless state just like when you were a kid and could do all kinds of things without feeling miserable the next day. Most of us did not feel pain during a good decade or two until we entered the work force...

Don't get hang up on a particular yoga studio or style, EXPERIMENT, many studios, many styles so your very own YOUR BODY can finally tell the difference.

Thank you Whole Yoga, I quit going to you and I should back to yoga but my intention is to provide a guide to those that are looking for light at the end of the tunnel. No magic bullet, no blue or red pill but the OPTION ITSELF, the path to a change, a path to a better outlook 'n life. We ALL deserve such chance. The choice is ours.

I am new to yoga, and they made me feel right at home. The instructors are very knowledgeable and outgoing, the perfect atmosphere for a newbie! Thanks Whole Yoga!

I've been doing yoga for 45 years, with numerous teachers. The teachers at Whole Yoga are the BEST! Ahimsa (Compassion) Yoga is based on moving in ways that benefit YOUR body, not some abstract perfect body in a training manual. And integrating breath, mind, spirit, heart into your practice distinguishes yoga from exercise regimens. Yoga can be life-changing - Whole Yoga is a great place to find out!

This lovely studio is unpretentious and welcoming, with the most knowledgeable teachers I've yet to come across. Whole Yoga instructors gracefully create classes that teach the principles of Yoga, using the practice of asana while actively incorporating the other tenants of Yoga. Their seamless classes facilitate self-awareness through breath and movement while emphasizing kindness and compassion with ourselves and others. I cannot recommend this studio enough to brand new and practiced Yogis alike. I love Whole Yoga.

A welcoming locally owned studio that is perfect for beginners and those that have practiced for many years. Whole Yoga focuses on the student to make sure they are practicing safely. I like The Basics! class on Wednesdays...

I like the local boutique yoga studios....but what a refreshing alternative Whole Yoga is! It's low key, people know one another, it's not at all pretentious. And great instruction. Best of all, the teachers let me bring my newborn! I only did it a few times, but I will never forget practicing at Whole Yoga with my newborn lying there next to my mat. And the other students were so open to it. Thank you.

Whole Yoga is a treasure of a yoga studio conveniently located near City Park. I recently moved downtown and found Whole Yoga. After a few classes, Whole Yoga revealed itself to be more than a yoga studio but a school of thought. Attentive guidance is given by well-trained instructors for asana but moreover, they inform with mythology, Sanskrit translation and history. Mind body connection. No moment is wasted. Having tried franchise and other studios, Whole Yoga has been a revelatory discovery.

I adore this Yoga studio - I've never had a bad experience and every teacher has been wonderful. It's a smaller space but extremely cozy and comfortable. The atmosphere and people are totally judgement free which is important to me because I'm an amateur yogi at best.

If you have to do professional work for this company, beware! Both the owners Satya and Mike are really bad business owners. I had to put in over 20 hours of time working a new website project with Satya and never got paid the total amount due. Satya would ask for a change to the site, then after the work was completed she would want it changed all over again, between here slackness and just flat out bad taste, she is a nightmare to work with. Hope this helps another vendor, stay AWAY!

Whole Yoga has a very welcoming environment and knowledgeable instructors! I've had friends graduate their teach training program and have always felt multitudes better both physically and mentally after a class with them!!!

Whole Yoga is a really great studio! All of the instructors here really go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome and they help you with your practice no matter your ability. They also offer classes during all times of the day, so whether you like to practice early in the morning or later in the evening, Whole Yoga has a class for you. Mark's classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings are my favorites! Try it out!

I highly recommend the classes, programs, and workshops at Whole Yoga! I participated in the Yoga Immersion Program last summer with Susan and Oscar as my teachers. The experience made a lasting impression on not only my practice, but my perspective on life. I also appreciate that Whole Yoga offers opportunities for chanting and meditation in addition to asana.

I have been going to Whole Yoga off and on for the past few years. The reason I continue to go to Whole Yoga is the welcoming environment for all - all ages, all body shapes, all genders. It is also a little more affordable than some other studios; that is not what brings me back but I appreciate the cost consciousness as it makes yoga more available.

Yoga at it's roots. A kind, welcoming studio for all levels! Offers yoga certification and meditation workshops with seasoned practitioners.

Wonderful yoga teachers and all welcoming atmosphere. The classes are more about how your body is feeling and less about getting a sweaty work out, although depending on the teacher that happens too. Love that they provide all the props you need plus yoga mats! So happy I found Whole Yoga!!

Wow! I took a Hatha Yoga class instructed by Shannon this morning and it was so amazing! What a wonderful way to start my day. I ll be returning each and every Sunday.
