I’ve been going here for years, most instructors are very sweet, only a small handful of very experienced instructors, but understandable to have mixed levels of teacher tenure. However, more times than I can count throughout the past 2-3 years, I’ve experienced a snobby and rude experience when checking in for class at the front desk. I still kept going until eventually it kind of turned me off enough to stop going, specifically because of the snobby vibes at check in (& the classes do the job but not worth the repetitive uncomfortable experience with check in). It’s so very weird. I’ve asked my two girl friends who go there too, and they knew exactly what I meant and they eventually sort of stopped for same reason. I was at a different yoga studio in town today and mentioned this experience briefly to another yoga instructor, who said that they’ve actually heard this too about this Ra studio. I know it’s not all staff, obviously, but definitely some clicky vibes and weird pretentiousness going on. Maybe management could do a vibe check with other guests/yogis and confirm and/or improve this apparent reputation? Sorry had to voice this in hopes it can change for better, would like to want to go to this studio again. I’m glad to see other people’s experiences seem positive based on the 5 star reviews.

I was never a yoga person but my friends signed up and they liked it so I gave it a try. I love Ra Yoga. There are variety of classes and the instructor makes you feel comfortable. I don’t do yoga and barely know the terminology but Nate and Johnny made it easy for me to understand what pose is next. Classes are so easy to sign up for through their app.

First time going to RA this past Friday and I’ve been so obsessed ever since. I have literally scheduled a class everyday for the next week. I feel empowered to challenge my practice and comfortable enough to take it slow when I need to. In the past I’ve used yoga as a form of working out which often led me to inconsistency in getting on my mat everyday—while you definitely treat it as such, I’ve learned that it’s much more about cultivating a real mind body connection— the friendly and energetic atmosphere of RA LB truly exemplifies the true mode of this practice in the way their teachers set their flows. All flows are invitations to bring yourself deeper into that connection. I feel so at home and comfortable here, the staff and the other guests alike all work together to cultivate that and it shows as soon as you walk in. Big shout out to Samantha + Nate for my first two classes and shaping a wonderful experience, definitely worth coming back (again and again and again) !!

Great studio! Very fun classes and the vibe is positive, uplifting, non judgmental and sweet. This is a great place to build a dedicated practice. The strength classes are so fun and taught for various levels so don’t hesitate based on experience. The heat is where it’s at! They keep it very clean and nice inside with locker rooms, showers, etc.
