Peachtree Yoga Center

I’ve practiced yoga at Peachtree for about 6 months. The love and light of this studio and the people apart of it is extraordinary. They really focus on the life of yoga, instead of zoning in on just the asanas. I’m learning how to live a balanced, loving life. I highly recommend this place for yoga classes and teacher training!

I am not a Unilocal-​er, but today, I feel like Unilocal-​ing. I attended the 11:15 yoga class today (Sunday) at the Peachtree Yoga Center. It was instructed by Natalie B. It was a kickass class as usual. If you have not made it to this Sunday class, put it on your schedule as not one to miss as Natalie is always shaking it up with a different routine — today a drunken triangle thrown in with some other poses — as well as shaking up one’s thinking throughout the practice. All the classes and instructors are great and always shaking it up at the Peachtree Yoga studio. Today, «wery» good day.

My first time at yoga. I got the yoga challenge package (2wks– $ 70). I have been going every day. Trying different teachers daily. The teachers vary from more relaxed to more intense which is perfect so you know what teacher to go to on what kind of practice you want that day. All the classes I have been taking are the basic yoga classes. ALL the teachers have made me feel very comfortable and helped me with my poses as needed. If I lived here I would definitely make this my studio, but since I’m just visiting I hope I will be able to find something like it where I’m from. I definitely recommend this studio to anyone.

I cruised on over to Peachtree Yoga at the suggestion of my friend Robert. He is an Ashtanga sort of guy, but said that this studio may fit the bill for what I was looking for. I took the Wednesday 10:00 am class with Natalie (Intermediate) and loved it. I spent an hour+ on the day of my birth (Happy Birthday To Me!) breathing, stretching, and getting up close and personal with my handstand practice.

I have tried different studios across Atlanta, and the country, and I am more than happy to call Peachtree my yoga home at the moment. I have taken classes with Seth, Graham, Ursula, Todd and Sally, and I have loved them all– all different for sure– but challenging, interesting and creative. I love the community building that is part of their mission, both with the fruit plate at the end of class and more recently with the addition of the Atlanta Yoga Fellowship that adjoins the studio. Check it out!

I took the 4:00 Basic class yesterday with Sally and it was amazing. I work out a lot but I don’t do a lot of yoga; however, her class changed my mind. Felt great and slept great that night. The only negative is that the room next door was quite noisy when we were trying to relax at the end of the class. Will definitely take her class again.

I have taken yoga classes in all sorts of settings, from posh and trendy chain studios to local community arts centers, and Peachtree Yoga Center is my favorite.
They have just enough of a variety of classes at many different times… I can always find a convenient class to attend. The studio is cute and always clean. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and very zen. I feel calmer just walking through the doors.
As if all of that wasn’t enough to fall in love with Peachtree Yoga Center, here are the three things that I love most:
1. The instructors always offer variations on each pose and remind people that whatever they choose to do is fine because everyone tailors their own yoga practice specific to their needs. It helps to be reminded of that when I’m gasping for air and covered in flop-​sweat while the 60-​year old lady next to me is moving along effortlessly. My practice is sweaty, difficult, and has lots of resting «child’s pose» positions… and I’m ok with that.
2. At various times during the class, the instructor goes to each person and gives them an extra little back massage or gently pushes them deeper into a lower back stretch. It feels ooooh soooh ghooooood!
3. At the end of each practice the instructor brings out a little plate of sliced fruit. I don’t know where Peachtree Yoga buys their fruit, but it’s tastes amazing! Maybe it’s because I’ve just utterly exhausted myself or maybe because it’s so cool and sweet and refreshing… it’s just damn good. The instructor is always available after class if you want to ask questions or just chitchat while you munch on a healthy snack.
If you want to increase flexibility and muscle tone while you act like a bendy straw, give Peachtree Yoga Center a try.

Let me start the review with saying the prenatal instructor is extremely nice and will answer your questions as well as try to accommodate your needs.
Now onto the negatives– 1: prenatal yoga from 11:30−1pm! Really, who thought of this? Has to be someone who’s never been pregnant. I was freaking starving for lunch by time class was over. 2: it’s hot as hell in the studio! I’m carrying 12extra pounds of baby weight and don’t enjoy being in a room where the temperature is in the high 70’s. During the beginning of class I heard other women say they were hot, so I asked the instructor to turn down the air. She said «it’s always hot in here» turned off the heat and turned the fan on. It never cooled down and I was miserable the entire class. 3: the scheduled 11:30 class didn’t actually begin until 12pm bc the instructor was 10 minutes late getting settled and then spent 20 minutes having everyone introduce themselves and talk about their pregnancy. I understand that the instructor is trying to learn if you have medical issues but she could ask you this while you’re setting up your area verse wasting 20 minutes of my precious yoga time. 4: I had major allergy issues while in the studio. It’s dusty and feels/​looks/​smells musty.
All in all I will not be returning to Peachtree Yoga. I attend a prenatal yoga class on Mondays and Thursdays at a different location and was looking forward to adding Saturdays to my routine but I’ll be looking elsewhere.

I’ve been running more than usual recently and my body, specifically my hips, aren’t fans of this. Waking up the morning after a long run, I knew I was in need of some major stretching and began to search for an afternoon yoga class. I came across the 12 PM class here and decided to check it out. Immediately upon walking in this place I knew it was going to be a bit woo-​ey for me– the fountains, the music, etc. The class was $ 15 as a walk-​in and compared to the $ 30 classes I’ve checked out, I’m good with this, especially since all classes are 90 minutes– as compared to the normal hour long classes.
Unlike other reviewers, I felt like the place was clean and well taken care of, at least nothing was super noticeable to me. I enjoyed the class and really liked the freedom it had to move through poses that suited your needs, as well as a good amount of structure. While I don’t normally use yoga blocks and a supportive blanket, I figured since everyone else had these, I would grab them as well. Upon seeing the guy in front of me, we’ll call him obnoxiously loud breather, squatting on top of the yoga blocks with his crotch pressed into them… I opted against using them.
I think I would come back here again, but I tend to jump around to different places to try new things, although I like and appreciate that they have a mid-​afternoon class.

Exceptional welcoming staff upon entering the studio. We even got a tour! Who does that??? The owner taught our class and he was a wonderful enlightened man. We could tell he loves what he does and it shows in his business and staff. Remember I’m picky when it comes to yoga! We will be going back. This studio was better than the one we went to in the city by far.

I went here for a pre-​natal yoga class while I was expecting.
I only took the one class since I wanted to find out what it’s like before committing to buying a multi-​pass. I’m glad that I did, because it wasn’t quite my style. We spent the first 15 minutes or so with every woman in the class introducing herself, saying how far along she was, and any special concerns. The class dealt a lot more with the spiritual/​energy aspects than it did physical activity. I understand that this is key to yoga, and that with so many women at different stages of pregnancy, you have to tailor the physical portion accordingly. But the whole reason I went was to stretch out those muscles that I didn’t know that I had that were getting tight and tense from pregnancy and to work on poses that would help me labor. So that we spent so much less time in actual poses compared to talking and breathing was disheartening to me. Taking that into account, along with the fact that the class is smack in the middle of your Saturday, I never went back.
I will say that it was a nice studio, well-​organized. And the instructor and the people working the front desk were very calming and helpful.

Really nice variety of classes and teachers here. You can’t go wrong here. Lovely space and good vibes all around!

Love the class. The Instructors are ver good.

Peachtree yoga is one of my two favorite yoga studios in Atlanta. Graham, the owner, is an amazing teacher who embodies the true essence of yoga. If you’re looking to experience a yoga class for the first time that hasn’t been watered down by our fitness-​ization of yoga, graham’s Tuesday night class would be a great place to start.
The others teachers are great too, and I recommend Elizabeth, Betsy, & Eric. The studio has two yoga rooms that both have hardwood floors. The larger studio has a few mirrors. The smaller studio is my favorite of the two and is painted blue. The blue fades to a sky blue at the top, & along the bottom baseboards, there’s a great whimsical design.
Also, as someone else here mentioned, this studio gives its students the space to practice at their own pace. In other words, you are offered to modify the poses in any way to make them more accessible.
You can’t go wrong at Peachtree yoga!

I’m giving it a four for the teachers. I’ve been practicing here for 4 years now. They’ve cycled through some awesome teachers here. Kikenny is amazing as a teacher. She’s very positive and helpful. This is a pretty big studio too. Be sure to get to class a few minutes early to get a space… especially on the weekend. My only complaint is that I wish the floors were cleaner. The place definitely needs some TLC.
