The Yoga Shack

They have great instructors and a nice community but recently they have changed their pricing structure. It is not as community friendly as in the past. It used to be that if purchasing the monthly unlimited was a poor match, then packages were available for a reasonable price like at so many other studios.
Now they have made the packages fairly expensive. Kind of a turn off and frankly a poor business decision.

I have been coming to yoga shack for years. There is a great community and excellent instructors. You can not go wrong practicing here!
I have always liked this studio but feel the current pricings are anti social and anti community. Not everyone can commit to the monthly unlimited and are forced to choose from expensive packaged. It never used to be that way.

I’ve tried Yoga Shack twice. It’s a very beautiful studio which is why I’m giving this place two stars. This studio is very clicky - as most yoga studios are in my experience. The class itself is very boring. Not a whole lot of movement. It’s was a 100 plus degree class and I barely sweat.
There is also no social distancing (they have tape where you can put your mat 6 inches from the person next to you) and they don’t check vaccine cards - which I find wildly irresponsible given the fact this is probably the most high risk activity you could participate it with a group of people. (Small

Critical: Communication, Professionalism, Quality
Not accommodating. Poor communication. Didn’t allow me to redeem a class packet after a month. Practically stole my money. Also their phone number is wrong on google.

First time to the studio and had been wanting to try out this studio for awhile, wasn't a welcoming checkin any way, not told where anything was, or what was needed for class even after saying first time to the studio, music was at a level where I couldn't hear the instructor studio is beautiful, but was disappointed with the experience

I have been lucky enough to have been practicing with the yoga shack for 15 years since the original shack days! The gorgeous new studio is a far cry from a shack but the owners have managed to keep the original spirit and essence while evolving the business and handling the pandemic graciously. I love Ashley’s creative and thoughtful sequencing, Courtney’s graceful flow, Jessica’s alignment focused vinyasa, and Nikka’s energy just to name a few! Long overdue review! Thank you for providing a safe and beautiful space to practice where one feels like family!

BEST VINAYSA FLOW!! If Vinaysa is your yoga, don't bother going anywhere else. I've been going for more than 3 years and have my favorite instructors that match my style, but have tried most and they are all great guides that take pride in their teaching. The studio is minimalist with natural light and high ceilings. I love it.

I have been going to the yoga shack for a little over a year now. I really love the atmosphere. I get so much out of the classes on many levels. I like the way the heating is infrared vs a lamp right above me (which makes me feel gross after).
At the yoga shack I can break a sweat or blow off steam as well as enjoy growing in my yoga practice. I feel I’ve learned and am learning how to be better at yoga, physically stronger, and more mindful in life- it’s been incredibly beneficial for me.
I leave feeling great!
They have a variety of options that make it easy to maintain a healthy habit

I'm from New York City; down here in Sarasota for three months on a contract with Florida Studio Theatre. I was looking for a studio for my continuing yoga practice while I was here and tried The Yoga Shack. I was instantly hooked. The warm vibe from the moment I walked in the door was so welcoming. And, honestly, I have loved every class. (Can't always say that about a studio!) Each teacher presents a beautifully crafted, unique hot vinyasa that is both physically and spiritually rewarding. Really, just a lovely studio. Check it out!

Ashley is the best. I like yoga but absolutely love her class.
Class is not as hot as I've experienced at some other studios which I do enjoy. Some just get too hot to breath.

Awesome studio! I was just in town for the day and just starting yoga and could not have been happier with the SWEAT class taught by Athena. It was such a great flow and empowering class wherever you are in your journey. Can't say enough good things!

I really love this yoga studio, only problem is the music is way too loud and I can't follow the instructor. I spend most of the class looking around trying to figure out what the pose is...I have been there three times now and it has been like this for all of them.

I love The Yoga Shack! I don't live in Sarasota full time, but when I am in the area this is my go-to studio. The classes are challenging and while everyone teaches a similar "style," each instructor still brings something a little different so you don't get tired of it at all. I definitely recommend Maggie and Rebekah's classes. The teachers are also very aware of the temp in the room and don't let it get too out of hand, while keeping it the right amount of hot and sweaty. I have only been to the Downtown and South locations but both spaces are clean, cute and have

Welcoming space that allowed me to get a feel for Florida yoga (the ocean breeze through the window/door was wonderful). Allie led a heated flow class which was well balanced with breath work and flow. Her adjustments were well done. Loved the meditation after the class.

All the teachers are awesome. Most classes are warm to hot and for those who are fit, regardless of level. I love them but someone older and not in shape may have difficulty keeping up. They are more of a work out yoga class than a spiritual class. They're amazing.

As a native to Sarasota, this is by far my most favorite studio. I've tried many studios in town in my 36 years and I've finally found "the one". I hear all the instructors are great. Although, I've only been to classes instructed Courtney, Ashley, and Meg. I can say that each of them have an amazing energy and passion for yoga and they bring it into each practice and it flows over into the class everytime. I always leave feeling balanced and grounded. I also find it to be the perfect mix of all people of all ages which makes it welcoming to anyone looking for right studio. Thank you Ashley, Courtney

I would highly recommend this studio! It's filled with beautiful kindred spirits! They make you feel welcome and all the instructors are fantastic! I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years in Denver and absolutely love The Yoga Shack yogis!

I love The Yoga Shack!! I have always felt welcome even though I am a beginner in yoga. The teachers stress that you should do only what feels comfortable for you and to not feel as if it is a competition, therefor I am relaxed and able to really enjoy my time. The atmosphere is wonderful, I especially like the end of the month Friday night outdoor sessions.
I have also attended a few meditation sessions. They seem to offer something for everyone.

The power yoga classes are a great balance between technique and challenging flow, and while each instructor has their own approach, there's consistency in quality. The regular classes are challenging enough that I don't feel like I should have gone to the power class instead, even if I can appreciate the difference. Coupled with a flexible schedule and a good location, that's about all I need.

Just be aware that while the room is definitely not at hot yoga levels, it can get pretty warm given that it's not air conditioned. Probably a good idea to bring everything as if you

As I travel for a living, finding a consistent studio/ gym to train at is nearly impossible. This last week I was passing through Sarasota and looking for a credible fitness class to attend. After doing the proper research, I landed on The Yoga Shack. From the moment I arrived at my Power Vinyasa class, my instructor Alli went above and beyond to make sure (as a new student) I was comfortable, understood the studio routine and had the proper equipment to complete the class. As a newer practicer of yoga, the class was a bit of a challenge - however, during the workout it was clear that my instructor
