M3 Yoga & Hot Pilates - Athens

I've been here about 2 months, absolutely love it. The instructors are all great. They pay attention to the people in the class, offer options to deepen or back out of certain poses. I switched here for times that worked for me, but I'm staying for the progress I can and have made with them. I particularly love Lauren's hatha and Emily's pilates class, but they're all amazing.

I’ve been coming here for about two months and absolutely love it. It’s really helped with my mental health and being in the present moment. I’ve enjoyed every class I’ve taken and always feel welcomed by all the instructors. I always look forward going to class multiples times a week and feel empowered and centered after every class!

I love m3 more than anything!! I joined with a student membership in January and am about to hit my 50th class tomorrow. The community is so warm and welcoming and every class is different. Thanks for making my life (and mind and body connection) so much better M3! Xoxo

I started going to M3 after reading about it in the Flagpole, and it is Athens's favorite place for movement classes for good reason! The studio space is great, the instructors and classes are consistently excellent, and the strong community is welcoming to everyone who wants to practice. I love all the instructors, and the full schedule makes it easy to find classes that work for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for a community-oriented place to move and meditate.

This is literally the best yoga studio I’ve ever been too! The classes really emphasize making your practice your own, and you really do feel comfortable doing things like just stopping and lying down a bit. That may seem like a small thing, but other studios I’ve been to will make a big deal out of people diverging from the prescribed practice. They are also amazing about teaching you how to effectively scaffold your practice with props. Finally, all the teachers are incredible.

I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years and M3 is now home. They really model the inclusivity that other gyms and studios say they strive for. This studio is fantastic for brand new learners and all levels and really is for everybody and every body. Well done M3 team!

I started practicing yoga at M3 a little over a month ago. I had not been to a yoga class for a few years and was nervous, but the teachers and members at M3 are extremely welcoming and friendly. I have thoroughly enjoyed every class and highly recommend becoming an M3 Warrior!

M3 has been at the core of my well-being through various life stages -- the loneliness and perfectionism of graduate school, the upheaval of failures and transitions, and in my present day as a working parent and practicing writer. Through it all, M3 has taught me how to find home in my body and mind and has given me the regular exercise I need for emotional balance. For anyone looking to try it out: here you can find classes at any level and for any purpose, ranging from total relaxation to high-intensity heated workout. Their instruction is grounded in the foundational principles of yoga, with a focus on mindfulness, equity, and attunement to the politically complex situation of undertaking an ancient South Asian practice in majority white and affluent communities.

M3 is such a safe place for me, regardless what version of myself I am that day. I enjoy the higher intensity inferno classes or more relaxing super stretch classes. The instructors are there to welcome me all the same as I reset on my mat. Truly couldn’t speak more highly of a studio!!

I started practicing at M3 with the goal of increasing my flexibility and mobility. As a weightlifter, these are two areas I have always struggled in. After two months, not only have I noticed an improvement in each area, which has carried over to my lifting, but my low back pain has decreased, my core is stronger, and most importantly, my stress and anxiety levels have decreased. I have grown to love this practice and continue to learn more about myself every time I show up. I am so thankful for the amazing instructors and the incredible community Nick, Matt and everyone at M3 have worked so hard to create. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and valued. You all are so wonderful and I look forward to many more classes at M3!
