Definitely a whole-in-the-wall yoga place but that doesn't make it any less good. The instructor, sunshine, was super nice and perky and was clearly passionate about yoga. She definitely gave my body a full stretch. It hurt a little bit at first holding each pose 5 minutes but after awhile it was relaxing I almost fell asleep in the weirdest pose! The studio is a bit bare bones but you don't need anything fancy to do yoga. I will say the air conditioning is really loud. It'll be super quiet and then the air conditioning comes screaming on kind of ruining my peace and concentration

The best classes, awesome teachers. I did my yoga teacher training program here and wish I could do it again. I felt more knowledgeable and confident than most after completing YTT. Mike and his staff are true yogis. The classes are built for all levels, but the teachers know exactly how to adjust and challenge even the most advanced yogi. If you're new to yoga, check out the beginner course with Charlene. I absolutely love the atmosphere here and am so glad I found them.

Review for Sunday morning class with Indu.
Great space... Cannot emphasize enough how a room's energy affects practice.
Class... thorough & challenging which for me is everything I love and need.
Instructor... A master of her craft. She was hands on correcting your body to insure proper alignment (which increases effectiveness and decreases likelihood of injury) & form, and extremely knowledgeable.
Worth following...
If I lived in Cincinnati I'd never miss her class.

This is a pretty great studio. They were the first yoga studio in Cincinnati and a lot of the better instructors in Cincinnati were trained there. Most of the classes there are Ashtanga classes. (Ashtanga is the most traditional yoga style taught in the U.S.--The studio owner Mike studied with Larry Schulz, who popularized Ashtanga in the U.S.) Ashtanga concentrates connecting the poses with the breath.
Nicki, Kurt, and Indu are probably the most well-known (in Cincinnati) teachers there. I haven't taken any of Indu's classes, but she did a lot to bring yoga to Cincinnati and is very

It's Yoga is a Clifton gem! Serene space, quiet, yet part of the local neighborhood. Can let the day go as the practice begins. Several great classes to choose from. The instructors do a good job and each one has a different feel. I go to Kristen's Monday and Wednesday practices as much as I can. They are very different with Monday being more of an Ashtanga flow, and on Wednesday exploring a different theme each week. Love it and it keeps this 50+ year old in shape!

Nestled on top of the Ludlow Garage, this cute little yoga studio is yet another gem in the clifton area. They lead from Yin to Ashtanga to aerial.
The only negative in this little place is the fact that the studio portion is not cut off from the check-in area. The class coming in can sometimes disrupt the ending of your class. Other than that, everyone is great and the classes energize (or relax) just about anyone who comes in.

I used to go to the Sunday morning (or was it Saturday morning?) free community classes in Friendship Park during the summers. I don't think they do them anymore, but they DID, which makes them awesome. I love a business that invites the community to get involved, healthy, and/or try them out for free.
Moreover, my big ol' thighs hurt for days after, which tells me that even if the free classes in the park aren't offered anymore, they can make you hurt. And that's gotta be good.

It's Yoga used to be the only game in town. They have had great teachers come through their doors over the years.
But, they haven't changed with the times. The website has been the same since the Internet was invented. For any business, that alone would be death.
Now there are just too many choices for good yoga in Cincinnati for people to travel out of their neighborhood to come to It's Yoga anymore.
However, it has one of the best yoga practitioners in town as a teacher, Kurt.

I've done yoga (mostly ashtanga) on and off for the last few years, in several different cities and at different studios. After I moved to Cinci, I decided it was time to go back. It's Yoga is overall, a nice place to practice. Two strikes made this less than a 5 star place:
1. Office carpet flooring. Gross. Yes, you're on the mat for many poses, but when your limbs, or heaven forbid, your face, go off the mat...itchy, scratchy, yuck. I find it distracting, since I try to avoid the carpet during class. Germiphobes, beware. I never appreciated hardwood floor yoga until now.

I've tried Yoga a number of times - TriYoga, Power Yoga (yuck), Third Eye Yoga - and It's Yoga, aka the Yoga Garage, finally lured me back. Indu and the rest of the staff are incredibly patient and communicative.
I would recommend the Garage to anyone looking to lower for a great way to lower stress levels and learn more.

It's Yoga is the best place to go for yoga classes in the city. They offer classes throughout the day, seven days a week. Indu and Kurt are two of my favorite instructors. Kurt will get you laughing and make it fun, while Indu is the most incredible instructor. She's able to make everyone focus and challenge oneself the entire hour and a half to ensure that you have the highest quality workout. It's yoga courses range from beginning level courses to advanced level. Students should check out the ninety dollars for ninety days of yoga special, it's a great deal and the perfect

Mother/Daughter activities are hard for my mom and I to agree on but yoga sounded good. I didn't know much about yoga but after checking out the website for Its Yoga in the gaslight district of Clifton I settled on the beginner ashtanga class. Unfortunately for the bonding experience even the beginning ashtange was too intense for mom and had I been more educated on yoga styles I would have been better off with the Integral Yoga class or the anusara class. Mom bowed out after a couple weeks but I continued to attend and found the beginner ashtanga was tough even for me and I consider myself
