1230pm class at Mind the Mat Del Ray on Fridays is SO GOOD. Shruti is the teacher. Super creative flow. Not too intense. Helps you get out of your head. Not only is the flow creative; the build up (opening and strengthening) is very obviously intentional leading up to the peak pose.

I love it here! I've tried a couple of different studios, but something was always off about them. Either the schedule wasn't consistent, or I didn't feel welcome, or the people weren't the kindest, but once I tried my first class at Mind the Mat in Del Ray I knew I loved it. I've been going since December and I look forward to it every single week. My instructor is so sweet, the people are great, and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thank you guys for being so amazing!

Lots of fun in the HAWT Pilates and Pilates Barre Express classes. Clean space, great energy from the instructors, fulfilling workout. You need to street park so get there a bit early to guarantee finding a spot!

Went to the Alexandria location for Hot Yoga Christmas morning. This was my first ever yoga class. 🧘♀️I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and environment Mind the Mat brought. While it was hard, I felt very renewed after and will be back for more as I bought the Lite membership. …
