Big River Yoga is a fantastic studio. The facilities are very clean, all staff members are incredibly accommodating and the instructors are super attentive. Different variations of poses are offered to cater to people in all of the different stages of their yoga journey. Don’t expect to lift weights or have pop music playing in the background throughout class as you might have experienced at other studios. Big River Yoga offers classes that are true to the art of yoga by focusing not only on the movement, breath and poses but by also incorporating the mental and spiritual aspects of the practice

I have been attending classes at Big River Yoga since they opened in the Seward neighborhood. I highly recommend the studio not only for the quality of the instructors and variety of classes but also for the community that has been developed at Big River Yoga. Thank you Nora and Chris. Thank you also to the instructors for sharing their expertise. I am grateful for this place of peace to practice.

This is wonderful studio with great instructors and a welcoming community of students. There is a good variety of classes to choose from and the prices are competitive with other studios in town. They occasionally offer special classes and workshops, which are always fun and interesting. The owners, Chris and Nora, are wonderful people who truly care about their members health and well-being.

Attending yoga classes at Big River has given my daily life a deeper sense of well-being and has improved my physical health. The classes compliment my other activities of running, biking, and dancing. The teachers are amazing and are interested in form and alignment, which they emphasize over depth. The community of people who attend classes at Big River are caring and warm. I’ve developed friendships with many of the people who practice yoga at the studio.

Really fantastic studio. Very accessible yet challenging. Whether yoga/meditation/spirituality/exercising are for you or not, Gerri has a way of making it for everyone. I pretty consistently hated intentional breathing and core exercises until attending Gerri's classes-- she is a fantastic instructor. Other good instructors as well. In general it's a very nice, peaceful place, with a variety of attendees, accepting all levels.

Big River is a welcoming and excellent yoga community. I am relatively new to yoga and the instructors have been incredibly patient and instructive. There are all types of people at the studio, which I also really appreciate. If you're an expert or a beginner to yoga, Big River is the place for you.

After taking advantage of the unlimited month of yoga for $40 (great deal!) I knew I had to become a member. That was over a year ago, and I have never looked back. Great instructors teaching a variety of classes at many times of day, a beautiful space, a wonderful community. This is yoga with integrity. Love it!

I love Big River Yoga. Practicing now for 10+ years, I am appreciative of the high level of instruction I receive at BRY. I attend a variety of class styles through out the week and each instructor is able provide great feedback that has instant results. I love that there is variety and that we are not always focused on sun salutations. I am challenged when I need to be challenged but also met "where I at" when I need that. Thanks Chris and Nora for creating a fun, safe, and great yoga experience for all. Your instructors and offerings of other services and events makes BRY a fantastic place to

Lovely studio with good chi here. Ive come to experience this studio as a healing place, wher my yoga has become a form of therapy. I've been practicing yoga on my own and in scores of studios for 30 years off and on. Here, there are no mirrors, no crowded rooms of people trying to impress each other with all they can do or how little they can wear. A nice touch of patchouli in some classes, lovely music and back to the focus of yoga. No silly scripts regurgitated by instructors. Honest, true yoga for those who come to practice it. I'm really glad I found this place. Best instructors

I have been practicing yoga for 7 years between the Twin Cities and the Chicagoland area as well as areas that I visit and I have been very impressed by the yoga classes at this studio, definitely a stand-out from all the places I have practiced. The instructors are all very nurturing and supportive as well as deliver an amazing practice. The classes I've taken from Mr. Gordon has also been a wonderful experience blending meditation and yoga leaving me feeling whole and healthy mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have been able to visit every class and been taught by every teacher since
