I love attending classes here! The instructors are very knowledgeable and I feel that I’ve grown much deeper in my yoga journey and in my understanding of my own body since I began practicing Iyengar Yoga. I highly recommend IYDC!

Iyengar Yoga studio made me fall in love with yoga. Before this, I had tried different types of yoga and could never really connect with it. Also, many places just teach the movements, but the teachers here are years and years of training and know, not just the external body, but the internal organs. They teach in a way that welcomes people of all types of bodies and are incredibly knowledgeable on how to use yoga for healing the body, spirit, and mind. Their sliding scale fee makes it accessible to people of all income levels and I love how they center people of color and social justice. This is the THE studio that I recommend to everyone.

This a special studio. In my 30 years of exploring yoga in the United States, I have never known a studio that is active in breaking down the barriers of who is able to benefit from the practice. This is truly a place for all. This is where you can learn how to use your own tools to walk tall, with freedom in the body. I can not recommend this place enough.

I thought I hated yoga until a massage therapist insisted I come to this studio, and I immediately realized that This Is Not Your Typical White Lady yoga studio. The healing-justice-centered and trauma-informed approach that the teachers at IYDC use when instructing this more philosophical, spiritual, and medicinal yoga lineage ensures that everyone, regardless of their (lack of) prior yoga experience, will be treated with respect and a more-thoughtful, no-one-left-behind practice. If you need a yoga practice where the teachers are trained through *thousands of hours* to ensure that each student is positioned correctly to avoid injury and assist in healing, THIS IS THE PLACE. I especially appreciated the co-op business model and its anti-racist approach to everything it does. I found a community at this studio, and found that the more I got involved, the more I knew about the co-op itself. But even just attending the in-person or online classes gave me an inner strength I needed to match my growing outer strength. I love this place.
