This is my favorite yoga studio in the country. I live in Rhode Island and travel all over. I think of this place often. When I visit Nola, I purposely find a spot near this studio so I can go every day. Love the instructors, love the vibe, love the space, love the schedule, love the natural humid heat. So much to love about this place. Can’t wait to go back!

I recently moved to Mid City and have the fortune of being walking distance to Balance. Although I chose the studio for the convenient location, I have been blown away with the quality of instruction and the atmosphere! I am completely enamoured with AJ, his pre-asana insights, his pleasant demeanor and phenomenal ability to describe alignment cues that really land in my practice.
I am recovering from a broken wrist and have shoulder and back injuries that can be problematic at times. In the past, I have been frustrated by yoga instructors that try to put me in their perceived “correct” positions

This studio is awesome. I love their Mysore classes and led primary series. Their vinyasa classes on Sundays are great for when you want to move but don't want to do a super intense and sweaty practice! The teachers are super knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive. This studio is so cute and feels like a little home. Love this place!

New to this studio, I tried it out with the 8 class pack. I found the align and flow classes to be astounding. My body was glad after each class, having the joy of growing in strength, balance, and flexibility. My soul was glad in the same way. The pace was somehow slow & peaceful and yet tapping into the deeper places of energy on the body. The teachers and this studio space offer a peaceful and transcendent experience. Will return soon.

While the teacher was excellent, there were numerous issues for me during the class. First, the room was very hot and smelled like body odor. There's a trend going on the last few years where yoga studios refuse to turn on the air conditioner no matter how hot it is outside. They think that the heat is good for you when I know for a fact it is not good for everybody. They wouldn't turn on the AC today and instead they used a fan. And in New Orleans it gets super, super hot. Then, there was a crying baby right outside the door of the room. So for a good 20 minutes of class there was a baby crying

Joined this studio using the 10-class groupon and tried a variety of classes (mostly vinyasa) with different instructors, who all offered something different. Did Tracey's class a few times which were great. The studio has 2 yoga rooms on nice wooden floors, offers mats to borrow and complimentary towels.
