Fantastic yoga studio! I always feel amazing after class and they have all levels. Love that this is a local studio; the instructors take the time to learn your name and the community aspect is wonderful.

Reviews
Really love the intimate, independent, family-owned feel of this place, not corporate-y at all! I took Jonathan’s Wednesday evening Basics class and enjoyed it. The basics class is slow and meditative - if you’re looking for a tough workout I wouldn’t recommend it - but it was good for clearing my mind, slowing down, and stretching.
Great studio to support.
I was nervous about starting yoga, but every instructor made me feel completely welcomed, encouraged and relaxed. Thanks to Big Shoulders, it's now become and forever will be an energizing and essential part of my life.
