Love the 4:15 Warm Flow Thursday class with Wizi! Perfect mix of poses, flow and assists. I walk into this class feeling a bit stressed out from work and leave the class wishing it wasn't over. So great!

came to my first class today (hot power @ noon), it was amazing! tracey was a very skilled instructor and took the time to explain the layout of the studio to me and how Salt teachers cue their instruction. i'm a yoga teacher myself- so i know when a class is good! the atmosphere felt amazing and i left feeling energized & sweaty!

Great studio. Every instructor leads such a great sequence. Recommended for new and advanced yogis alike.

I enjoy the sessions but I learn mostly from other people attending, not the instructor. Also was a bit taken a back when the instructors ended every class with “namaste”. The classes I’ve gone too are more of a light intensity workout rather than a yoga class.

Love this clean, inviting studio! All of the instructors are excellent and offer diverse instruction. I miss restorative and family yoga class offerings, but hopefully they’ll be back again soon.

Love my classes! Perfect class sizes helps with attention to be sure we are posing correctly - which I needed.

My review references an injury that occurred at this studio on Thanksgiving morning of 2018. There are a couple reasons why I have waited to write this. One, I was hopeful that the studio would have learned from their mistakes. Knowing people within the yoga community and someone who has gone to the studio recently, that hasn't happened. The other reason is that I have decided to stop pursuing legal actions. On the day I attended, the studio packed so many students into the room that our mats were touching on all sides. Before class started I voiced concern and the instructor assured me that everything would be fine. I returned to my mat assuming they knew what they were doing and would alter the class to accommodate us all being way too close to each other. I had assumed wrong. The instructor started the class saying that we are so packed in today that it's fine if we hit our neighbors. Again, I figured this meant a hand accidentally brushing up against your neighbor. The instructor went into her shouting positions less like a leading a yoga class and more like a some sort of body boot camp. The woman in front of my thrusting her limbs all over, also more like a boot camp instead of yoga. When being commanded into a down dog, this led to me getting donkey style kicked in the top of the head by the woman in front of me. I fell to my mat and the instructor acknowledged the incident by laughing about it. I didn't feel right at the time but being that we were essentially trapped because we were so tightly packed in, I finished class. Moments after I got home is when things really started to impact me. I spent Thanksgiving laying in a dark room, with no sound. I spent the following eight months recovering from my concussion with the help of the concussion clinic and going to therapy multiple times a week. It took a full year to feel myself again. Luckily, I have an extremely understanding boss because as a big data software engineer struggling to be able to focus or tolerate looking at a monitor is a real problem. The day after this injury occurred my wife contacted the owner of the studio. The woman apologized and seemed to understand that they can't operate a studio like this. She said she would check back in on me to see how things are going. She never called back, emailed...nothing. After I completed all of my therapy and got back to about 80% I contacted her about my medical bills. I have extremely good insurance and just wanted her to cover co-pays. The amount of money we are talking about is so minor, it should have been a given to just have some good morals, do the right thing and pay it. Instead she fought me and had her husband send a nasty letter saying I signed a waiver before attending class. Yoga isn't a contact sport, it's not an activity where being crammed in a room and getting kicked or punched or anything else is something that is remotely inherent in the activity. Anyways, there are so many much better yoga studios in the Pittsburgh area and so many better yoga instructors don't waste your time at this place.

Great studio, great vibe and excellent instructors. Love the Warm Yoga Flow class - it's the perfect temperature and always a strong workout. I especially appreciate the minimal wording of the prompts, because it allows you to sink into your personal practice and flow without listening to nonstop talking and instruction. I also love the way the instructors thoughtfully mix in the spiritual side of yoga and remind you to be present, be grateful and just breathe. Aside from the physical benefits, a workout at Salt gives you much, much more!

I agree with another reviewer who said it depends on the instructor in terms of your experience here at salt. Overall my experience has been very positive over the several years I have been coming, but part of me is considering trying a new yoga studio. Some of the instructors are truly fantastic and you get not only the workout but the spiritual side of the practice too. Lately, though, I have noticed salt shift away from this balance. Classes are so fast paced it's hard to get into a pose at all before you are onto the next. There is no assistance or much instruction at all, so while I've been going for a while, I am not sure if I am doing the poses properly. I think this is part of their style, and sometimes it's great, other times it would be helpful to have a bit more guidance. I also miss the spiritual piece here, and the root of the practice itself. Everyone's practice is different and I know people are looking for something different, but this is a big missing here for me. Lastly, I reached out to them about yoga teacher training, but did not get a very helpful or timely response. It was a bit off putting admittedly, but perhaps this is not something they are offering now. Either way, if you're looking for a great work out and a generally friendly atmosphere, this is a great place. If you're looking for a more spiritual practice that is less intense physically, another place may be a better fi

One of my friends who comes here regularly invited me to try it out with a free class pass. It was a day when the weather was bad but the class was still packed - I was amazed! The gentleman leading the class, Andrew, provided me with a tablet to fill out my personal information and guide me through the process of registering. He was very personable and helpful throughout the process. This was my first yoga class I have ever attended. I was unfamiliar with the terminology and poses but I was able to keep up with Andrew's instructions, with a little guidance from my friend! I became educated on the equipment used (loved the additional lavender spray so when you stick your nose in the mat, it smells like heaven!), the terminology, and have a better understanding of yoga itself. I was definitely challenged not only with the poses and positions, but with having to make a conscious effort to coordinate my breathing with the exercise. It was eye opening in that I rarely think about my breathing but that it truly impacts your mental and physical status throughout the course of the class. I enjoyed my first yoga class and look forward to potentially attending a few classes in the future.

I LOVE this studio!!! They take pride in every little detail, VERY welcoming no matter what level you are... they have a cute little tea area with refreshments, well-kept shower area with freshly washed towels/365 shampoo/wash, hair ties, and anything else you can think of! They provide mats, blocks, and towels and they are always clean and free of cost.

I love Salt Power Yoga. It's a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and they have everything you need if you don't have your own stuff.
