This studio has a sense of community! Low cost , $5, classes on weekday mornings. Calm, serene studio where doing "your own practice", with or without support from the yogi-instructor. The space is clean, light filled and has everything you may need to deepen your practice. Bolsters, belts, blocks, blankets. Yoga mats are available for rental or you may bring your own and even store it there! First visit, today, and Caroline was amazing! She had me doing things that I had never tried in my practice, class was concentrated on shoulders, without strain on the wrists! A novel approach

Having never practiced yoga before, I started at Akasha 2 years ago and have maintained a consistent practice ever since. My experience has been so positive that I feel emotional contemplating this review. The teachers have an abundance of positive energy that will quickly melt away any fears you may have about trying this out. I would recommend going at least 3-5 times and try various teachers to fully appreciate the life-transforming gift that this studio has to offer to you.
