I started coming to Eclipse right after they reopened following COVID. At the time, I was at one of the lowest points in my life both physically and mentally. The first day I walked in, full of fear, Erin greeted me with such warmth that I immediately felt seen and comfortable. The practice at Eclipse has truly changed my life in ways I never expected. It inspired me to share yoga with others, so I enrolled in the teacher training program offered by Erin and the studio and it was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was challenging and required me to dig deep, but it also opened me up to the parts of yoga that go far beyond the physical. Through that process, I realized I’d been hiding parts of myself for years. After the training, I began showing up as my true, authentic self, something I hadn’t done in a very long time. ❤️This place, and the community within it, have become my family. I am endlessly grateful for Erin and Eclipse Power Yoga ❤️

***This review reflects my personal experience. I understand others may have had different ones and I respect that. However, because I previously attempted to share feedback on a public forum form my personal experience that did not stay publicly visible for long, I feel it is important to try again especially since the studio speaks often about the value of honesty, (giving and receiving) feedback, and “being in the work.” I truly love the practice of power yoga. The practice itself is strong, transformative work, and for years it has kept me grounded. That is why it is hard to write this review, but I also feel it is important for anyone considering spending a significant amount of money on training to hear another perspective. I was not only a student at this studio but also had experience with the teacher training. While the physical practice was meaningful, the culture surrounding the studio often felt more like a spectacle than a community. The owner frequently preached authenticity and “showing up as your authentic self,” yet in reality there was heavy pressure to fit into a very narrow box of what a “perfect teacher” should be. When I voiced concerns or suggested making the program more supportive with a disclaimer, the conversations were often avoided or danced around, and it felt very uncomfortable. That said, I always respected that the owners get to make the decisions they believe are best, even when I disagreed so I just let it go. One example is a weekend of “deep inner child work.” The owner would say things like, “I can’t wait to crack people open.” This kind of emotional work can be heavy, scary, and deeply triggering, especially when led by someone who is not a therapist or qualified to facilitate trauma processing in a group setting. I witnessed people pressured into sharing painful experiences they were not ready to unpack and often ostracized if they chose not to share, and many walked away feeling more traumatized than supported once the training concluded. Since leaving, I have been reached out to by many trainees after me wondering why their own experience also felt so intense, why they felt pushed out, and why they left feeling so unsettled. At the time, I did not have the words. I was still healing myself and wanting to believe I had moved on. I share this now not from a place of anger but because I do not want anyone else to have that experience without being able to make an informed decision. When done right, I wholeheartedly believe this training is valuable and empowering. The lead trainer whom I worked with when I was learning never pressured anyone to share personal experiences. If someone did not want to share, we moved on and dove into yoga anatomy, cueing, or other practical skills. When misused, however, the training can be damaging and deeply disappointing. Outside of training, I won’t deny the community here what it has given people. I have seen students walk into a class feeling heavy or uncertain and leave feeling stronger, lighter, and more connected to themselves. That is the beauty of YOGA and what a studio can provide. For me, though, the studio lost its luster once I experienced the teacher training side. What once felt empowering started to feel performative, and it no longer aligned with the reasons I came to my mat in the first place. This practice itself is beautiful and powerful, but the container matters just as much as the content. If you are considering this or any training, I encourage you to look closely at the culture, talk to past trainees, and make sure it aligns with what YOU need.

I have been attending this yoga studio for 4 years and it is FANTASTIC!! And before this place I really disliked yoga generally. The yoga instructor training is excellent, and though not all graduates are great instructors several have really become the BEST! I have met fellow yogis that travel 30-45 minutes just to come to this studio. No judgement, full explanations of adjustments to poses, and invitations to modify basically any pose are regularly offered. Recent one-star reviews appear to be a smear campaign, coordinated by a dissolusioned ex-member or ex-instructor. Look at the history of reviews over time.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Erin, the owner, has buit something extremely special with Eclipse. I have practiced yoga on and off for years and have always felt judged. Not at Eclipse. This studio welcomes students at all levels and ages. It is truly a judgment free zone and a studio that focuses on helping students grow and building community. Not only does Eclipse offer great classes with the best instructors, they continually give back to the community through fundraisers and donating to causes/organizations that are close to students' hearts. I have taken more than 200 classes and can't wait to take 200 more.

Eclipse Power Yoga is something special. Erin, Scott and their entire team have created a space that feels intentional, welcoming, and full of heart. You can feel the care and community the moment you walk in. It’s not just about yoga, it’s about connection and growth. One of the things that really sets Eclipse apart is that there are no mirrors in the studio. It’s such a beautiful reminder that your practice is personal…not about comparison or judgment, but about presence. If you’re new to yoga or even a little nervous, don’t be with Eclipse. This is exactly the kind of space where you’ll feel supported from the moment you arrive. I’m so grateful this studio exists right here in Spokane, created by people who genuinely love this community.
