I'm really disappointed, as I called to try to get back into yoga and find a class that worked for us. I basically laid out exactly what I was looking for and truly feel like I was begging her to help me but in the end she hurried off the phone without helping me to find a class that would fit what we needed. It also took over a week to get a returned call.

Faria has been a crucial part of my pregnancy, with biweekly prenatal yoga classes. I'm a total beginner; each class was adapted to my skill level, how I was feeling, and the stage in my pregnancy. Faria genuinely cared about me, my progress and my baby. She's patient and engaged, kind and supportive. It's the only time each week I truly set aside for myself and focus on my baby and mental health thru the pregnancy. I couldn't be more thankful! I highly recommend her for pregnancy, or any yoga class and guidance. Every new mamma deserves a Faria :) thank you!

Absolutely love coming here for prenatal yoga. They entire staff is extremely sweet and the instructors are phenomenal. I always leave feeling so relaxed and energized. For someone who did not do yoga prior to pregnancy, I find that it has been extremely beneficial and something I hope to continue after my delivery. There are other yoga studios closer to my house but beloved yoga is truly amazing and I can't see myself going anywhere else.

I have been a practitioner at Beloved Yoga since 2009 and have found the teachers there to be incredibly knowledgeable about Yoga, anatomy and safety. It's a welcoming studio and everyone is very friendly. Their new studio is beautiful and spacious. The studio is tucked away at the back of the second building, facing away from the street. They have a great variety of classes to choose from - beginners to advanced (usually the Vinyasa or Yoga Groove classes on their schedule). They even have specialized classes like Prenatal Yoga, Baby & Me, Senior Yoga and Chair Yoga. They have a great

I found this place via the NoVA forum on Reddit of all places by posting 'Does anyone know where I can find a beginner beginner yoga class?'
I've never been confused as someone overly flexible, so the beginner part was a necessity.
One class here and I'm hooked! Entirely different kind of soreness from weightlifting, but just as satisfying and tiring.
Best parts:
- Great instruction that is helpful to getting the positions right
- No calling out for not doing things properly or understanding the instructions
- Super nice people

Beloved Yoga is a wonderful part of our local community for all life stages. I discovered Beloved when I was new to the area and very pregnant, and immediately found a welcoming community in the prenatal classes. The mom and baby classes were a lifeline in the early years, and allowed me to meet my mom tribe who are still my closest friends 5 years later. Incorporating yoga into our lives beginning when my children were just weeks old has developed into independent preschoolers asking for their regular yoga practice. Vasanthi is amazing in fostering a community amongst families and young children

Beloved Yoga's new Sanctuary in Reston, VA is truly a sacred space to practice yoga for all people and abilities. With 4 studios simultaneously teaching classes, there truly is something for everyone throughout the day. The instructors are very knowledgeable about the ancient teachings of yoga and incorporate a talk at the beginning of each class before we get moving to the asanas. I am impressed by the range of yoga classes offered for families with tots, tweens and teens. Their new Befriending Therapeutic Yoga programs offer people with dis-eases, trauma and recovery ways in which yoga can

It’s been several years since I found a yoga studio I felt happy with, that offered a variety of classes that I was interested and invested in, so finding Beloved’s scope of different classes gave me hope. I attended a class with a friend a few weeks ago, and was immediately swep away with it. The atmosphere they’ve cultivated, the knowledge of all the teachers, the way that each class I’ve been to has had a mindful focus behind it—that the practice itself has pertained to and highlighted and made one give thought to each focus. That last part in particular sets this apart from some other

I've been a yoga practitioner at Beloved Yoga for over 10 years, dating back to when they were at their former (and smaller) location a mile or so from their current location. BY is everything I could want in a dedicated yoga studio - multiple practice areas that can accommodate different class sizes; professional, highly knowledgeable and experienced instructors that not only have a thorough knowledge of various yoga styles but also an in-depth grasp of the anatomical, physiological, and even spiritual aspects of the practice; multiple styles of yoga to choose from; classes that accommodate

I've gone to BelovedYoga twice now. This is my first foray into Yoga in a formalized setting - and this one is fabulous! The view is peaceful, the teachers knowledgeable and helpful. I've only been to the beginner class, which is at 7:45 pm. That's my challenge - I'd really like a beginner class in the morning or earlier evening.
If there was a better time available for the class that meets my skills (very beginner!!), I would have given 5 stars.

Although my experience here is limited to the Tue/Thurs 6AM classes, it's still been overwhelmingly positive. I started going to Beloved almost 4 years ago after a back injury and a recommendation from my doctor to try yoga for healing. They allowed me to extend the start date of my class voucher while I was still too injured to go to class - I was so grateful for their flexibility on that. Once I was finally able to start yoga, I fell in love immediately with Vinyasa, largely because of the stellar instruction and environment at Beloved.

I've taken two Hatha classes here and so far I am impressed! The atmosphere is wonderful. The teachers were both great. The class was challenging but not extremely difficult, and I know there are harder classes available when I feel ready to make the leap to Vinyasa. I would recommend doing their beginner classes first if you're new to yoga, as there isn't a ton of explanation of the poses in the Hatha classes, so it's a lot easier to follow if you have a basic understanding of the terminology.

I want to start off this review with stating I have hated yoga for years. My friend kept trying to get me to come to the Sunday morning class for a few months and I decided to give this place a try. I was blown away by the class that Dan gives. My workout background includes running and kickboxing. However, when I left this class I felt sore but refreshed. The instructor was quick about helping others get and maintain the correct positions. He explained the moves and everyone in the class seemed to be having a great time regardless of our fitness levels. I have never been to a place that made me

I decided to start yoga after being inspired by a friend. I found Beloved Yoga online and I was so pleased with the quality and variety of classes that I just can't get enough of it! I am a true beginner but I try to take 3 classes a week, because I love the studio THAT much.
I love that you can register for a class online - it holds me more accountable. The studio is beautiful, serene, and clean. They offer mats and props to use for free - so don't worry if you don't have your own!
I've become a dedicated practitioner thanks in no small part to the instructors at Beloved

I have been going here for 6 weeks now and am so happy to have landed here. I was previously attending classes at a nearby studio and decided to move on. Beloved has superb instructors and an amazing program. This is so much more than a business to them. It's a love and a wonderful experience. I can't imagine a better place to practice yoga.

I'm a big fan of Beloved Yoga but sadly I had not been there since they changed locations. When I finally stopped by, I could not stop thinking great things about it!
The new location is BIG and it has 2 studios - good for more class options and times. The view of the studio I was in had a gorgeous view of the pond next to the building with lots of flowers and shrubbery. It was a wonderful view to take in while doing your flow. The studio is very clean, open, and bright which is a great change from their old location - it used to face a parking lot.
The staff is always friendly and helpful

Love! I took a 90 minute Vinyasa class with MaryAm, and came out refreshed and invigorated. The studio is clean, bright and friendly. I loved the floor to ceiling windows looking out into the pond and fountain.
They also have several therapies available including deep tissue massage, acupuncture and reiki.
