Excellent studio. I am not a huge fan of Ashtanga yoga, i enjoy a more gentle style. BUT, John Merideth really knows his stuff. I have only been to this studio a few times, but he pays attention. I feel like he knows my practice just from the few times i have been there.
I have heard other teachers say that John has a big ego. LOL. They say this as if they, themselves do not. Most teachers who practice no meditation have huge egos. That is the result of just practicing asana and no pranayama or meditation. I honestly think they are jealous of John’s knowledge and integrity. He does not kiss butt trying to get students. He offers what he knows and he does it very well.
I honestly do not care for the other teachers here, though. There was one time i came to take John’s class and there was a sub. And i hated it. It did not have the love, the care, the respect for the students that John has.
John Meredith is amazing and i want people to know that.

Loved this place. I think our instructors name was Laura and she was fantastic. She was helpful and challenging at the same time.
This place is in a high rise and midtown and you would never know it existed. It’s kind of a cool loft/​apartment. They have big windows at the front of the unit looking into a big tree, down onto Peachtree.
Definitely one of my favorite yoga joints in town. Will definitely go back.
That’s my word and I’m sticking to it.

Laura’s level one class is more like level three. Furthermore, she will very rarely offer modifications for challenging poses and will then display frustration by criticizing 90% of the people in class. For the first time, after years of practice, my friends and I left the class feeling no ‘zen’. The attitude level was at an all time high and we left angry and badgered. I do have to say, the studio is nice and other instructors are great. I’ve never written a Unilocal review but I feel other people should receive fair warning before attending this class!

Lovely yoga studio. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing. Definitely look for a Groupon/​Amazon Local deal for specials, as the overall membership is a bit pricey.

I bought a groupon for this practice and I’m glad I got to try it out before deciding on a pricey membership. However, I really liked John, the main teacher and even the student teachers are ok. I went to a couple of the basic classes and the last one I went to, it had been expired unknown to me, but they let me into their advanced stage 2 class and it was pretty challenging. I was going along with everything until the headstands…
Anyways, the location is good, the ambiance is good, the teacher is awesome. They seem to have a lot of deals for classes so be on the lookout for those. I wish they would post the sales online or something, but I would definitely consider getting an unlimited membership.
Everyone there seems to be pretty chummy and coming there for years because it’s a homey feeling even though I’m the type to take a class and dip. They do have community mats if you don’t like lugging a mat around like or you simply don’t have one. Mostly, I go to a class for the instruction and there’s is to the point, sometimes just a touch here or there or John might challenge you so your legs are shaking.
Anyways, good workout.

In December of 2012 I was in a bad state. I had my first child in July and had decided to be a stay at home mom for awhile. I was gaining weight and becoming less productive. Moreover, I was sinking into a post-​partum depression that everyone else but me could see. My friend told me about John Meredith and this studio. She said he was «quirky» and not for everyone but that I should take a private with him and see what I thought.
I knew I wanted something physical to do but that also had a mental and emotional aspect to it. I had gone to a couple classes over the years and found the whole yoga culture to be intimidating– the skinny chicks, the clothing, the language and the elitist smug attitudes that seemed so prevalent in studios.
This place was different from the start. My friend said to email John and tell him about me and what I wanted. That was what he wanted. I know now it was to see if we would be a good fit and that most importantly I would find what I was looking for. So I went and met with him in December– slightly terrified, overweight but ready to drop my inhibitions. We spent 45 minutes just talking. He asked a lot of questions about all sorts of things. It was alarming and at the same time I had a great appreciation for the time he was taking to «see» me. I then realized I was going to be working very hard.
I continued to see John privately and then added classes twice a week when I could. I got into great shape for me both physically and mentally. I got pregnant with my second child in the Spring of 2013 and continued with John all the way up until 48 hours before delivery. He tailored my practice, always put my safety first and was a coach. It was the best thing I could do for me, my baby and my family. My little girl was born 11 weeks ago and the minute the doc cleared me I was back with John. I plan to start class work again soon.
The studio is clean, open and full of good energy. Be prepared to work hard and sweat. I have read reviews about the beginner class being hard– it is! But if you are focused and ready to be present, they always offer modifications for all levels. I found fellow students to be kind, curious and encouraging. It is not the smug experiences of my past.
John is a perfectionist who expects that when you come to his studio, you are there to work, focus and be mindful. He will push you.
If you are looking to learn yoga or deepen your practice — this is the place to go.

Excellent studio to either begin or deepen your practice. I’ve been searching ATL and nothing has been quite right until I found OnlYoga — even though I’m not strictly an Ashtanga practitioner (I have studied and practiced aspects of it along with a different teacher certifcation), I really enjoyed the other classes offered. The teachers are terrific and teach a balanced, safe class. It’s easy to get comfortable being in one place (physically and mentally) with your practice so it’s definitely an advantage to try new things and actually ‘work’ at it. Just know your own limits.
Tracy’s ‘Friday Flow’ class was super. Finally an instructor who isn’t afraid to actually ‘instruct’ by observing what you are doing and making necessary modifications not only verbally but also by adjusting you as appropriate. This is so important in yoga and no one seems to be doing it anymore (I wonder if I’m just more aware of this having recently moved back to the States after being abroad, but it is crucial to having a safe practice).
Can’t wait for my next class here!

I’m brand new to Yoga, and this was my first experience in any way shape or form.
Myself and 2 friends went in this past week for a drop in ($ 10 for first timers) class at 9:30am after a long night out.
We were welcomed warmly and guided through all of the details of what we needed to know/​expect.
Our instructor, whos name I don’t remember (blonde female) was absolutely incredible. She was very clear about the movements and positions that we were taking. She came around and adjusted us as needed to properly explore our bodies.
I was completely soaked in sweat and at the end she had us lay down on our mats and just relax and breath. I was literally DREAMING in less than a minute. Completely relaxed and present.
I can’t believe how amazing it all was. I’m officially addicted to Yoga and living in Boulder, CO I have plenty of options to choose from. I hope that I can find a place as good as onlYoga.
Literally the best experience I’ve had in Atlanta in any way, shopping, dining, partying, etc.
Keep up the great work, guys. And thank you, very very much.

I bought 8 yoga classes from half off depot using a coupon. The class is very small, there are only 3 – 10 students in each class, so you get a lot of individual attention, and the instructors will correct your form very often. I first tried out aerial yoga, which was a huge mistake, it is too difficult for me. So after that I took their most basic class, great experience and relaxing atmosphere. All the instructors are super knowledgeable.
Tip: bring enough water with you.
Tip2: you can buy vouchers from half off depot and sign up for their mailing list and you will receive discounts in your email.

Great place if you are a beginner or an advanced yoga master. The instructors are very good about explaining the poses and walk through the class helping folks stretch even further or correcting poses.
Highly recommend it to anyone willing to give yoga a try and there are special rates that change every few months too.

When you practice yoga for a long time, after awhile, you look for a yoga studio to call home. Though you venture out to new places, it’s the place you come back to again and again. OnlYoga has been the ‘home base’ for my yoga practice for the past four years. I also completed my 200-​hour yoga teacher training at onlYoga in 2008. John has been teaching yoga for twenty years and has a profound knowledge of yoga, which is one of the reasons I decided to complete my teacher training there.
What’s kept me coming back to the studio is John’s ability to consistently teach engaging, fun and challenging yoga classes. One of the things I love about John is his ability to reinvent his classes. I can count on him to teach innovative and challenging sequences that enable me to explore basic and challenging postures in new ways. John encourages you to find your edge and my yoga practice has deepened immensely because of it. I highly recommend onlYoga for yoga classes and teacher training.

So over the years I’ve tried yoga several times from many different teachers. It’s been a love-​hate relationship as I know it’s problably the best practice for my body to keep in shape without sustaining long-​term injury, but finding the right teacher proved to be next to impossible. I studied in India with a private instructor, took classes in different cities I lived in and nothing stuck — until OnlYoga.
The difference?
It’s not just the type of yoga or the people you take lessons with, it’s everything. From the studio to the music to the incredible helping hands and sharp eyes of Mr. Merideth, your body will be molded back into shape and potentially pretzelled into a new one!
You’ll sweat, you’ll hurt, and you’ll love it.
Here you’ll find great yoga, good humor, great music, and a place to rediscover your body’s potential.
And you won’t have to get second mortgage loan to do it.

onlYoga is the best yoga studio I’ve found. I’ve taken yoga classes on and off for about 10 years in different cities where I’ve lived. John is a wonderful teacher who encourages you to push but not exceed your limits. None of the classes are the same and he’s a very creative instructor. There is no way anyone could take one of his classes and not feel challenged.
