BEST yoga studio in Houston!

by everydayperils at Citysearch

I went to Joy last Sunday for my very first class with them and have already been back twice! The atmosphere is great and supportive, it isn't awkward to go alone (as it can be at some studios), and they have a great selection of classes! They even have free mats available for class if you don't own one. You can register and pay for your classes online in advance (good for people who aren't motivated because if you already paid, you'll be much more likely to go!).

• Pros: Lots of classes, nice instructors
• Cons: Kind of confusing to find the first time

Best Yoga Studio in Houston

by yogachick25 at Citysearch

After visiting several yoga places and being disappointed by the studios and instructors, I was delighted to find Joy Yoga Center. The studio is beautiful with lots of windows that let in the natural light, hardwood floors, and fresh flowers. The staff is incredible. They encourage each student to reach his or her edge without being too aggressive. Joy, Marizol, and Mandy are especially gifted instructors who create very fun flow sequences to great music. Expect to be challenged and work up a sweat. In just a few short months, I have seen progress in my poses that I had not seen in my previous two years of practice. I look forward to continuing to develop and improve my practice and enjoy the company of the other men and women who visit Joy Yoga Center. Namaste!

Bliss Unplugged!!

by wirikuta at Citysearch

The Joy Yoga Center is truly that, a joy. Joy and her instructors provide a flowing, centered, nurturing approach. Every class is different and provides the individual the opportunity and tools to experience their practice as deeply as they choose to. Challenging, yet always supportive, the instructors are always their to provide individual attention even in large classes. Finally, a place that provides a balance between a purely physical experience and the relaxing more internal aspects of yoga.

In truly yogic style, it challenges your assumptions from the begining as it is located in a rather nondescript strip center. Once you enter you will find the facility is graceful, unassuming and inviting. Joy deserves her writeups as "Best Instructor". Go explore for yourself. Everyone could use more Joy in their lives.

OUTSTANDING yoga instructor!

by miltonbud at Citysearch

What a great support to keep a relaxed attitude in this hectic world! Joy is sensitive to her individual students' needs, capabilities, and limitations. Classes are well organized and focused, but include individual attention. She knows her yoga, and keeps classes fun and challenging. The studio is very comfortable, away from congestion, and easy to reach from downtown. Joy Yoga gives more to keep me fit and stress-free than an other approach I've found -- absolute highest recommendation!

• Pros: Knowledgeable instruction / easy access / easy par

Best Yoga City!

by topjoi at Citysearch

Joy Yoga Center is the best kept yoga secret in this city! Joy's compassion and excellent instruction lead her students to discover strengths within ourselves we either buried long ago or never realized we had. The studio is gracefully understated, placing the focus internally which is really what yoga is about. Give yourself the gift of Joy Yoga. You will reap the benefits long after the experience!

• Pros: Great teachers! Ample parking. Wonderful atmospher

Good attitude, but smells like my first apartment

by biddlej77 at Citysearch

Houston hasn't caught on to what makes a good and affordable yoga studio yet, so I was willing to give Joy some space to grow--ignoring the smell and the strip-center atmosphere (do strip centers prohibit incense?) Joy has become a little too exhibitionist for my taste (although some of her other instructers are great) AND she has raised her prices. Just not worth it for me anymore...I will have to keep looking.

• Pros: Variety of instructors
• Cons: Smelly studio, raised prices
