As a restorative yoga instructor visiting Ashland, I signed up for a restorative yoga workshop with Natalie Stawsky (studio owner and instructor) for 5/27/2019. I showed up for the course, which was a 2.5 hour session from a 2 day workshop and was excited about learning more skills to share with my clients.
I showed up for the training and Natalie assessed my current physical limitations (I had a hip and back injury, that's why I learned and have taught Restorative Yoga for Better Backs). Natalie said we would by lying on the floor for much of the class; lying on the floor with a "prop

I've been on two amazing yoga retreats with Natalie. Her retreats are not only delightful, they are transformative! She has decades of training and experience, as well as a rare attunement to the individual needs of each student. After both retreats, I came a away with valuable insights and techniques. She gave me specific tools and suggestions to improve my chronic aches and injuries. Your body will thank you and your life will be enriched. On and off the mat, Natalie creates a safe, nurturing and adventurous space to explore, expand and have a whole lot of fun!!

I go to the A Street studio for restorative yoga on Tuesdays and Fridays and couldn't be happier there. Phaedra is skilled and attentive to everyone's individual issues and needs, the props are perfect, the music soothing, and the 75 minutes simply fly by. The studio is beautifully maintained and the services both top notch and professional. I'm so happy to have found my way here!

I really wanted to like this place! The facilities were nice and the class, full, but the instructor was just not very skilled. It was supposed to be a flow class. I've taken a lot of yoga classes in a lot of places and there just wasn't much flow happening. The class was disjointed with unusual poses. I'm totally open to learning new poses but the descriptions were unclear and the instructor was usually just talking and not demonstrating so I sometimes just ended up guessing at what it was we were supposed to be doing...

I have been attending Krista Holland's 9am to 10:30 yoga class (Tue and Thur) and she is amazing! I love her diverse practice and she quickly adjusts her instruction to fit her student's ability.
Also, the studio is clean with soft natural light and the team that supports the center, are wonderful human beings! The city of Ashland is a great place to live, but the Ashland Yoga Center is what makes me feel grounded.
Today, I had a gentlemen from Chico, CA practicing next to me. At the end of class he said that I was very fortunate to have such an exceptional teacher and center to practice my yoga

Traveling through from Seattle to San Francisco I spent the night in Ashland and decided a morning Vinyasa class was what I needed.
I showed up at 7 AM for the 7:15 class listed on their website and printed schedule. I waited until 7:30 and no teacher ever showed up. Two other students showed up and also gave up after waiting.
Perhaps their classes are good, but I guess I'll never know.

So far my favorite yoga in Ashland, although in all fairness I haven't tried all of the yoga studios out. Any class you can take from Paige will be epic. Her sense of knowing what the vibe of the class is, is uncanny. I gave it 4 stars because sometimes it's stuffy due to improper ventilation. But do check it out for yourself!

Ashland Yoga is by far the best studio ever! Kind, wise and challenging instructors with compassionate hearts, a beautiful, quiet space and lots of different styles offered - this place rocks! I, like the other reviewer, am from Oakland, city of haughty and snobby yoga. Well, I spent the summer in Ashland and discovered a love for this art that I knew I had, but no instructors/studios had manifested it! - this place made my summer one of relaxation and learning...thanks to all at Ashland Yoga Center! I'll be back next year!

If there is only one reason for me to love Ashland it is this place. Sliding scale classes ($8-$12), a schedule with enough variety to find a class almost any day of the week to make yoga during vacation time totally possible. The space is large and allows for a lot of people without feeling tight. The two instructors (Vanessa and Marion) I had were both very good at explaining the positions I was unfamiliar with, and also both walked around and offered pointers which made me feel good about doing the positions properly. I wish my city had a yoga center like this.
