I've been looking into yoga for a while now and was so nervous, being a beginner. I didn't want to spend tons of money to feel uncomfortable in a class with "yoga professionals." But Rising Sun is exactly what I needed. It's welcoming and catered to any experience level. Plus it is incredibly affordable and it doesn't lock you into a set number of sessions. I also like that I can do it online or in person. So happy to have found it!

Lovely, welcoming gentle yoga class with Tracy this morning. She was great about explaining what we were doing, and why. We are visiting from out of town and had a little trouble finding the studio, but Michael answered the phone and guided us in. This class is for all bodies and my husband and I felt comfortable. We did indeed leave feeling both relaxed and energized.

This studio has all the makings of a great place but has a few areas to work on. First, there is a lot of chatter in the yoga room itself (and a few cell phones going off during class). I prefer a quieter experience when I enter my yoga space, but that's me.
The class itself was hatha so I wasn't expecting an experience where i would be dripping sweat, but this was a very gentle class...yes you can deepen the postures as you need to, but that was challenging when there were so many people in the class that we had little room to accommodate.
There is a really beautiful alter that adds

This yoga studio deserves a lot more reviews! First class I took was gentle yoga with Paula and she was so inviting and positive. Was looking for a simple relaxing class and this is it! Helped me stay relaxed and out of my head the whole night. I'll definitely be returning. Love all the yoga equipment they have too!

I've been nervous to attend a class anywhere because I'm out of shape, out of yoga practice and my knees and back creak - loudly! Bit the bullet this morning and gave the Foundational Yoga class a try. Michael could not have been more warm, welcoming, sympathetic and helpful to me. Most of the others were obviously regulars but they too were welcoming and funny! I was not able to do some of the poses but wasn't made to feel embarrassed or singled out. I'm inspired and feel well-stretched - just what I was looking for. Thank you!

I love Rising Sun Yoga and especially all the teachers! Here you will find a truly loving family community of unique and beautiful individuals of every age, who all have very unique backgrounds and spiritual paths and passions. When I walk in the door I always feel welcomed and excited! When I arrive to my mat I always feel a sense of calm peace come over me and excitement that I was able to make it in and I can’t wait to be transformed to a peaceful state of being, healed and freed from anything that was pulling me down before I walked in the door, to feel loving kindness and gratitude within

Rising Sun Yoga is a true gem. My family is in town from DC and I was looking for a place to get in a yoga class Thanksgiving morning. Michael at RSY was very welcoming to me and my daughters. The class was challenging, soothing and fun. Michael and Melanie shared the instruction, and both brought their own unique charm to the class. The place was totally full, but nobody seemed to mind. In fact, Michael embraced the congestion and made sure everyone was safe. In addition to traditional yoga music we heard some great classic rock from The Doors to Simon and Garfunkel. We were encouraged to sing

A warm and welcoming studio with classes for all levels of students. You can drop into any class you want which allows you try different teachers and formats to suit your needs. Teachers are well trained and knowledgeable. I love the space too - sunny windows, wood floors, and easy access to ample parking.

What a cool space!
I came here with a friend for a seminar on Ayurvedic Medicine. It was fascinating and wonderful. The studio was cozy. I love that you have to take off your shoes when you go in (wear slip ons!).
If I had a regular yoga routine, I would totally come here. It's cozy, the people are super nice, and it just has good energy.

I go to yoga wherever I travel so I have experienced many different studios and approaches. I was welcomed at Rising Sun yoga and immediately felt at home. The workout was non-threatening but challenging. Austin led with peace and wisdom. I left feeling renewed and refreshed. Will definitely be back!

While I am not new to being prenatal, I am new to prenatal yoga, but I thought I would try it since I am never, never ever, this time I mean it, going to be pregnant again. For real. So this is my last chance. No, seriously.
The studio is open and friendly, and very quick to help new people get acclimated to their surroundings. The prenatal instructor, Rebecca, is excellent- bringing a frank discussion about birth, accompanied by a class that makes you feel empowered to face it. And while I have been alllllll about the drugs when it comes to giving birth the last 3 times, this class makes me

I have attended Rising Sun Yoga studio for several classes this month and it has been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Everyone is very friendly and you can see that Michael, the owner, is absolutely passionate about creating a nurturing environment for his students and teachers. There are plenty of classes in all levels of skill and I'm so excited that it's right down the road from me! Yay!!!

A great studio that offers a wide diversity of classes, from 'hot flow' to Vinyasa to Gentle Yoga and even occasional specialty classes of sorts. The studio is beautiful. Michael, the owner is a knowledgeable teacher and often brings in new practices from the conferences / etc he attends. There's signs on the ceiling of the main studio that remind you to "focus" and "smile," and the smaller details add a nice touch that demonstrates that a lot of care was put into making this a welcoming environment.
The reason I'm only giving it four stars is because there
