The Om Lounge Yoga & Wellness

This is a beautiful space and overall a nice yoga studio. I think the class I took was not what I had hoped for, and the teacher was very nice but overall the class that was taught did not meet my expectations.I think it’d be nice for the studio to audit their teachers classes and give some feedback just to keep up the quality of the classes. The flow felt disjointed and the teacher spoke extremely fast and colloquially, which didn’t seem to match the tone of the space or the tone of Om.Having music with lyrics added to the chaos, so I’d recommend: a) music without lyrics, or b) prompts but less talking. I loved some of the songs, but when songs with lyrics are used, the teacher isn’t talking over but simply guiding through a prompt or letting the students flow on their own for a period of time.I have taken yoga for 15 years and I followed the flow and adjusted as needed, but because of the way the flow was structured, I saw many other students potentially injuring themselves. I’d recommend simplifying the flow and focusing on balance, focus, and making sure the students are able to integrate the poses in a way that protects them from injury.This is all personal preference and only my opinion, but it was not a class I would want to come back to. I wished there could have been a more intentional warmup and cooldown, and overall led in a way that is clear and sacred rather than frantic and casual, as I left the class feeling a bit less zen than hoped. (I’m not saying it needs to be extremely spiritual, but the calming music before class was in contrast to the class itself.) It came off more like an exercise class than a yoga class, and I think with some feedback and improvement, it would benefit the yoga community and this space.

I love the vibe at this studio and the nice big windows in the East Liberty location.

Not going to lie, I decided to try yoga on a whim. Om Lounge has a studio in the strip district a block from work and I had a yoga mat laying around, so I said meh why not? Im roughly 30 days in to taking yoga practically everyday at both studios and I really enjoy it. It’s a new, different kind of challenge for me. It’s definitely not easy, and I come out of it drenched in sweat but I love the challenge. I really appreciate how the instructors somehow know my name even if I’ve only taken one class with them. It’s impressive lol. Im also a fan of being able to completely fail at trying a pose and being able to laugh it off and try again. I’ve taken, and continue to take from a variety of coaches, but so far I’ve really enjoyed morning classes with Olivia! I’m always mind blown when the instructors demonstrate challenging poses with ease and then think “yeah I can do that” psshh nope lol.Anyways, if you can come to class with a smile and an open mind… this is the place to be. :) You can literally show up with nothing, they have rental mats, props, everything you need. You just have to bring a good attitude and try it out.

Nikki’s soothing voice and mindful practice gives my body the wake up it needs mid-week.

Such a beautiful and welcoming community…I’m new to Yoga and occasionally have zero idea what I’m doing which in the past has made me uncomfortable and not return to other studios. However here it’s actually one of the rules that they have up on the wall here so it’s completely okay. I love the Sunday morning start to the week class.

My happy place! Suzann is the absolute best and Sunday morning yoga has certainly become my weekly moment of serenity. Even when she’s kicking our buts w challenging poses!

One of the best yoga studios on the east coast! No jokes- the class, studio, ambience, instructors are one of the best! Thank you!!!

Amazing instructors, creative flows, inviting space...everything you want in a yoga studio and then some.
