I love this place. Knowing which postures we'll be doing rather than relying on the personal whims of an instructor is fantastic. It helps me avoid injuring myself. The teachers here are very kind as are the patrons. Big thumbs up!
As someone who has been practicing Bikram/Hatha yoga for 13 years, I fear that Jesse's 1-star review may be missing the point. The encouragement for disciplined practice, unified movement with the rest of the class, and thoughtful corrections are why I have made massive improvements in just 1-year since returning to Sealevel Yoga. I did a drop-in at a studio in Kirkland while house sitting last week, and after class, the instructor bluntly asked me which studio I've been going to because my practice was "phenomenal." I am now doing things in my practice that I never thought possible when I started doing yoga 13 years ago, let alone last year lol. I've been to a lot of studios and I can confidently say that Sealevel Yoga is the best studio you will find in the greater Seattle area for Bikram/Hatha. Most of my classes have been taught by Lisa and Kim. Their expertise in the practice, coupled with their laser sharp attention to each class member make the experience on par with working with a personal trainer. That said, the other instructors have been fantastic too. I'm actually shocked at how consistently high caliber the teaching quality is across all instructors. That's a rarity at any studio. I can sympathize with anyone's initial frustration regarding Hatha being largely a regimented practice, especially when so many other customer experiences in our world are designed to cater to an individual's preferences. However, as someone who has some pretty whack-a-doodle levels of ADHD, being in an environment where I'm encouraged to remain hyper focused and disciplined for 90-minutes has done wonders for my relationship with my brain and body. Whenever I've felt I've finally "mastered" a position, instructor feedback and applied disciplined always lead me to discovering whole new overlooked elements in a pose, which present plenty of room for improvement. The process has been humbling, but also exciting and genuinely empowering once progress is made. My relatively new focused and disciplined mindset, which has been dramatically strengthened from taking classes at Sealevel Yoga, has carried into other parts of my life as well, and with powerful results. In my opinion, this place doesn't need to change a thing. They are absolutely crushing it. -Trevor
The real deal in Bikram hot yoga. Experienced and supportive teachers. Clean facilities. A beautiful, wood ceiling hot room. I only wish they offered more classes mid morning or mid afternoon.
