I did two back-to-back 6 week sessions of Essential Yoga for Beginners with Ellen. I'd done some yoga before, mostly following along with YouTube videos, but hadn't taken many in-person classes. Visiting Downtown Yoga in Ocean Springs became the highlight of each week. (Totally worth the 30+ minute drive from Gulfport!) The calming space that Ellen and her studio provides was something I looked forward to, especially after a long work day. We're moving away from the Coast, otherwise I would definitely continue taking classes at Downtown Yoga. Highly recommend!

I was in Ocean Springs last week at a conference and had the opportunity to take a class. The instructor was great and studio was clean and very attractive. It was easy for me to sign up and the other students and teacher were mellow and welcoming. Don't miss this studio when you travel to Biloxi or Ocean Springs.

This studio offers a wide variety of classes that vary in intensity, and every instructor communicates clearly about modifications for individual differences in skills and abilities. It's a supportive environment to learn about the practice of yoga, and it's my favorite studio anywhere.
