I started going to classes at the yoga room just a few weeks ago and it’s been a really lovely community. The instructors are thoughtful, skilled and provide lots of alternate poses.

I was a student with One Yoga, which was a non-profit yoga studio with a focus on bringing yoga to BIPOC communities. Unfortunately, One Yoga closed their doors last month and I had to find a new studio to practice at. I happened across The Yoga Room after doing a search for Minneapolis Yoga studios that taught Ashtanga classes. This review is actually going to be centered around my first experience with The Yoga Room, which happened to be their evening slow flow by candlelight class. The class was led by Nei huynh who is this extremely helpful upbeat woman radiating with good vibrations. I walked into The Yoga Room and she immediately greeted me and she could tell it was my very first time practicing at their studio. She gave me the grand tour, made me feel very much at home, and was just a glowing fountain of positivity. I shut my phone off and tucked it with my car keys in one of the cubbies the studio provides for personal belongings that don't need to be on the floor and found a nice spot in the room to set up my mat. The fellow yogis around me were all high frequency vibing people and I could tell the energy was going to be awesome. The room is humble and modest with a good energy to it. There were small LED candles placed around the room to help enhance the moon energy for the class. Nei began by slowly bringing us all into the sequence we were going to be doing. She led us through the moon salutations sequence by breaking each of the Asanas down where all the students were able to gently be led into it before we got really into the flow. I enjoyed the initial pace because for anyone who might be brand spanking new to yoga, the way Nei broke out each Asana individually before tying everything together would be very very helpful. Then after we went through the intro, Nei brought us into the flow where we all went through the sequence again, but this time in pace with our breathe. Moon salutations are supposed to be easier than sun salutations but I sure was sweaty by the time we got through the sequence. After Nei took us through it all, our bodies using up that last energy of the day, Nei brought us into the restorative portion of the class. I always joke about how restorative yoga is essentially making pillow forts on your yoga mat, but after a couple of rounds of moon salutations I welcomed the yoga bolsters (pillows). She had us relax our bodies in a few restorative poses before bringing us into savasana (corpse pose). After class, us yogis cleaned up, sprayed down any equipment we used, payed gratitude to Nei for her lesson, and went home for some much welcomed sleep. I look forward to morning Ashtanga on Friday.

I truly love this yoga studio! The instructors are incredibly helpful, supportive and knowledgeable — they really make everyone feel welcome, no matter your experience level. I especially enjoy going to the outdoor yoga sessions on the parkway in the summer. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new and fun!

The yoga room feels like a safe space to focus on mind, body, and spirit. There are a variety of classes. The instructors are all very welcoming and build a sense of community. There is a lot of focus on technique which is helpful for safely getting in and out of postures which feels healthy and positive.
