Prenatal yoga and Baby and Mom yoga were both enormous gifts to me with my first. I met so many other new moms (many of whom I still stay in contact with) and treasured the opportunity to participate in such a supportive community of women. Melissa creates a comfortable, judgement free atmosphere that welcomes all. I am now back to prenatal with my second pregnancy and am so grateful for the Zoom and in-person options.

Absolutely amazing yoga. The prenatal class is just beyond compare. Melissa does a fantastic job connecting with her students. And just didn’t miss a beat when we had to go on Zoom. I really cannot say enough good things here. So I am just going to say THANK YOU

STAY AWAY!! Melissa is extremely rude. I miss read their website and went in for prenatal yoga. I was told to come in using the side door so I entered. I thought I’d enter into a receptionist area (like most places) so I was ending a very important phone call PLUS I believed I was early. NOPE, I entered right into the yoga room full of women, the instructor yelled at me to get off the phone. Which I did, obviously. Instructor got up to grab the paperwork for me, I apologized for being late because I misunderstood their class schedule. She then very rudely and loudly asked me if I was pregnant, I answered, yes, isn’t this prenatal yoga?? She responded, no, I’m going to have to ask you to leave... while the women in the class giggled at me.I’m happy to admit that I made a mistake BUT there was no reason to make me feel ashamed for being pregnant and to insult me. She could simply have told me to not enter whole class is in session. They could have locked the door, there could have been a sign. ANYTHING would have been better.

I loved coming to Lotus Yoga during my first pregnancy. Some yoga studios can feel intimidating but not the prenatal classes at Lotus, it's just this wonderful community of expectant moms and the vibe is really positive. Also I can't help but laugh at this other reviewer who interrupted a class while yakking away on her phone and then came to Google reviews to complain! I always found Melissa to be friendly and welcoming. Just be respectful as you enter and you'll find it's a great way to exercise and relax during pregnancy.

It is not often that I write reviews and I should do so more often. I was a non-believer of studio yoga. I preferred my home and a tv but my wife kept at me through several injuries over the past two years, to give it a try. She has been going to Lotus Yoga diligently with rewarding results and introduced me to Melissa, the owner. And through several conversations with Melissa, I finally tried a class last month. I have never found a more instructive, caring, and attentive teacher and I am a workout fiend and have dealt with several instructors who were too busy with the surrounding environment vs training. The point, I have now attended my third class and realize that I wasted two years. Not only will this help me exceed my goals but Melissa makes the environment comfortable and personally cares for each one of her students. Don't pass up the opportunity to take care of yourself by attending classes at Lotus Yoga. You won't find a better place to be.

Here's another review for Lotus Yoga's amazing prenatal yoga classes. Melissa was so kind and genuine. I showed up a few minutes late to my first class (because that's who I am as a person) expecting the usual judgy glances and maybe a reminder from the instructor that I should come early, but everyone was so welcoming and warm. Each class starts off with introductions and Melissa asked each person what they needed from the class (swelling, hip pain, sleep difficulties, etc.). She then catered the class to our needs and told us throughout the practice which moves we should be sure to use at home. Talking was pretty common throughout the class, lots of ladies sharing about which poses were helpful for them and my neighbor helped me with some poses before Melissa could even get to me. Seems like a really cool community. It's worth checking out, especially because the first class is free!
