While barre has its origins in ballet, no dance experience is needed - you'll perform low impact/high repetition movements, alternating between standing at the barre and mat-based exercises. Our vinyasa yoga classes will have you exploring awareness and mindfulness, building strength, and exploring the potential of moving with your breath.
Can't recommend this place enough. Not only is the actual studio beautiful and welcoming, the instructors make each class approachable and not intimidating! Lumos Yoga & Barre is an incredible studio in Fairmount! It's an extremely welcoming and inclusive environment that promotes wellness for everyone.

While barre has its origins in ballet, no dance experience is needed, and all levels of fitness experience are welcome in this class.

I stopped in during a visit to Philadelphia and walk through my old Fairmount neighborhood. David generously worked me into a class that was basically full. Eunmi somehow provided personal attention to a full class of friendly yogis. She seamlessly wove movement, breath work, and singing bowls into a relaxing, energizing ending to my visit. I'd practice in this lovely space for sure, and will highly recommend my Philly friends and family check Lumos out.

I first went to Lumos in 2019, but I was never very consistent with exercising and movement. I started going back to Lumos in June 2021, and the classes, instructors, and other students have been a bright spot for me during the pandemic. Working from home, I don't see people in person or move around as much as I did pre-pandemic. The early morning classes (6:30am Tues/Thurs and 7am on Wed) are an amazing way to start the day. All of the classes (barre, yoga, sculpt) and instructors have been fantastic, and I never feel like I can't do a class or that I'm not strong enough. I'm always challenged

I am so glad I found Lumos and made it my yoga and barre home. The studio is beautiful and soothing for yoga and energizing for barre, The Works and SculptJawn. The instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly, making the environment so supportive and fun. It is truly a community that I am happy to have joined!

Lumos is a lovely little studio right in the heart of Fairmount. They've created a welcoming environment; from the first time I took a class, I felt comfortable. I love that they are body positive and inclusive and that they cater to all skill levels.
Before Lumos, I had never taken a barre class but the first one I attempted was so much fun. I never thought I would look forward to workout classes but I genuinely love going to Lumos. Their instructors are friendly, kind and always provide modifications when needed. It helps that the classes are small so the instructors are able to give everyone

After a pandemic year of not moving my body at all (or, let's be honest, talking to people at all, either) I was terrified to start working out (and leaving the house) again, but I knew I had to. Fast forward four months, and I can't say enough good things about this studio and the incredible instructors! Not only do I sort of know how to move again, but the warm, inviting atmosphere is such a wonderful reminder of how great it is to be around people again, too. Stop by for any class to see what I mean!

I adore starlit flow on Monday nights - it is the perfect combo of workout and relaxation. Ali is a fantastic instructor and is awesome at helping you get your poses right, especially if you're new. If you're socially awkward as me, it's perfect because it's done in a darker room. I really dislike working out in a class in a bright room.
Studio is welcoming and inviting - I have never felt conscious about my body or about my poses. Everyone from the staff to the other yogis are all very friendly. 10/10 recommended as the best yoga studio in town (and I have tried many of them)

I'm grateful to the excellent administrative and teaching staff at Lumos. The teachers I've had are all wonderful, and it is a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. There is also a discount on class packages for health professionals, which I appreciate so much. Special shoutout to instructor Alex for making me laugh so hard during my lunch breaks! Your classes are challenging, but my day always feels a little bit easier afterwards.
