Yasodhara Yoga Spokane

Dec 2021

I completed my first yoga session with the yoga instructor (Swami Yashoda Nanda) last month. I was so satisfied with my experience that I signed up for the following month.First off, the location is absolutely stunning. The yoga studio is located behind a picturesque Victorian Manor in, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of Spokane: Browne's Addition. The studio itself is quite cozy. It is nestled on a hilltop overlooking the gulch containing Overlook Park, Highbridge Park, and the Latah Creek. In the background you can see endless strings of lights on the hills as well as from the traffic on the highways and elevated railway. In addition, there are many trees and...read full review

Picture this: Haven't worked out for a while. Recently had a baby. Need some "me" time and serious stretching. Enter a phenomenal yoga experience at Yashodhara! I had never even heard of this studio, but it is a total gem, especially for all you Browne's Addition yogis! It is right off of the Coeur d'Alene park in a little studio. The first time I visited I thought it was in a garage as I was walking up, but it is really a special space with banks of windows looking out onto leafy trees. This intimate studio fits about 10 folks in a class, so I would schedule your spot ahead of time if you wanted to make sure to have a place, (but we were able to do a drop in class). It was $12 for a drop in and the instructor accepted a few methods of payment. As we came into this class it was clear that everyone here was really serious about relaxing. There wasn't any nonsense about who had the coolest yoga gear, it was really about getting into the moment. No one judged me for wearing baggy sweatpants, haha! There was an awesome range of ages and I felt welcomed and able to focus from the beginning. The poses were accessible and I felt excellent deep stretching throughout my spinal area during this class. I also really liked the music used as the background. The instructor made sure to turn off the AC and fans at the end of the class for the relaxation time and opened the doors so we could hear the wind rustling through the trees. This detail, which totally added to the experience, was really special for me. It is nice to be still and mindful and I think the small class size added to the contemplative nature of this studio. I was pretty sure I was going to be struggling in the class, but instead I felt uplifted and ready to take on another day after the class! Thanks Yashodhara! I'll be back!
