V12 Yoga

I took a class here this summer that I wasn’t really happy with, but I decided to give this studio another shot last night. This studio is located above the Green Door Public House in Downtown. It’s really nice with a great view of downtown. I ended up signing up for Woni’s All Level Flow class on Tuesday at 6:45. Woni is a great yoga instructor. He will push you to do new things, all while emphasizing the importance of your foundational poses and postures.
I will definitely be back! No more hesitation with this studio!

Talk about a beautiful studio. If you go after work, be prepared to have a calming experience of the sunset through one set of windows and a view of the downtown skyline in another. I haven’t been in a class that was super crowded, or crowded at all and I can say they are very calming and helpful during the class. Not to mention the location is pretty nice and so close to the farmer’s market.
Whenever I have the time, I’ll stop in for a session as it’s been the best experience yet since I’ve moved to Dallas.

I decided to try this Yoga studio because it is close to my hotel. The class was an «All Level Flow» class for an hour. I loved it and I am definitely going back as much as I can while I am here in Dallas. They have an amazing promotion for new people — $ 10 for 10 classes. That is just fantastic! It is a very nice sized studio with big windows and an impeccably clean floor. My instructor was great, her name is Ana Jones. She led the class in a calm manner and I truly felt no pressure to do more than I needed to for my body. I enjoyed the meditation at the end and recommend this yoga studio for all levels.

Husband and I went for the first time yesterday, expecting a good hot vinyasa class based on the course description. We recently moved to the area and are looking for a new studio, so we opted for the 10 days for $ 10 offering. The studio is in a great location and the room overlooking downtown Dallas was beautiful. The instructor however left much to be desired in my opinion — he talked the entire time about his experience and his approach to teaching, all while not calling positions by their proper names, and making excuses for having to rush through the class because there was a workshop scheduled immediately after the class. So what was supposed to be a 60 minute class was basically 30 minutes because it started 15 minutes late and ended 15 minutes, and pretty much encompassed maybe 6 sun salutations with some stretching at the end. I broke more of a sweat walking over to the studio from our home than I did in class — incredibly disappointing. Not even a warrior one or a side angle to speak of, let alone anything remotely advanced or hinted at.
To make matters worse, after class, the instructor asked my husband his name and told him that since we were experienced to try some other classes — that was all well and good. But instead of turning to ask me my name, as I was standing right there, he asks my husband «So, what’s your wife’s name?» I was just shocked and answered his question for myself. Needless to say, I felt insulted on top of a subpar yoga experience.
Given the number of yoga studios in the area competing for students, I would expect more. We may give some other instructors at this studio a try over the next 10 days but given our time constraints and really needing quality classes on the weekends, I don’t anticipate sticking it out with this studio.

Have a friend who recently started going here. Great space, lots of light. Tonya was so encouraging and thoughtful. I will return.

I was really excited when I heard a yoga studio was popping up near Farmers Market. I would drive by this building everyday on my way to work… what’s interesting is that building was built from the ground up… you might think «well what so cool about that»… well this building used to reside on the corner of Elm and Canton, on the opposite side of downtown! Yes, you read that right… this building was essentially dismantled brick by brick and then re-​built on its new location… Pretty Cool right… I mention this because it really lends it’s history to the new tenants that came in… I mean really think about… all that history from it’s previous location (I think it was a private jazz lounge awhile back and who knows what it was before that) but I digress, all that history of a historic downtown building, and now in it’s new life a yoga studio… way cool.
About the experience. I’ve been to several studios around town and all have their great qualities, ambiance, zen, feng shui, whatever you want label it. They have their place… and downtown yoga isn’t exactly new. but never really sticks around for long… but this place gets it. The space is amazing… housing a couple private showers and several mats (in case you forgot yours or don’t own one yet) as well as welcoming colors and staff… but most importantly their instructors. I’ve only had a chance to experience a few as of recently but the are all amazing and as a semi’new «yogi» they really go all out to make me feel welcomed and I love that. I mean it’s hard enough to go into a room full of strangers and attempt to pull off some of the poses… but having instructors that can guide you and cheer (whisper) you on every step of the way is awesome. I look forward to my next visits to V12 as it provides me a place to «de-​stress» from work and find my peace before getting home. I strongly encourage those the live and work in downtown to try them out!

This. Place. Is. Everything. You immediately know you’re in a great space for Mind-​Body-​Soul work the moment you set foot in the door. From the friendly & caring instructors and staff, to the amazing views of Downtown, to the energetic red walls, to the best classes, to the overall healthy and clean space, V12 yoga is the place to be whether you’re an aspiring yogi or an experienced one; they have classes for everyone.
Businesses like V12 Yoga are bringing the right kind of energy and vibe to Downtown Dallas to truly embrace the urban lifestyle. I encourage everyone to check it out… $ 10 for 10 days, you can’t beat it!

Think about everything you THINK you know about a yoga studio … and reverse it. Welcome to the modern yoga … with just enough zen atmosphere and lots of energy and encouragement without all the stuffy stuff. Very dedicated owners and instructors that promise to give you a challenging workout every time. Very diverse classes. It’s been a huge blessing in my life the last 2 months. I am on class #35 and every time is different. I have never been in such an encouraging fitness environment. Very convenient class times. V12 is awesome! Couch to yogi!

I just completed their 10 days for $ 10. promotion and I can confirm that V12 Yoga is cooler than the other side of the pillow. As soon as you walk in to this studio, you’re greeted by the joyful energy emanating from the resident greeter — the laughing Buddha. From the brick walls, to the dark wood flooring, to the exposed cathedral ceilings, to the ginormous windows which allows the space to be flooded by natural light, to the superb teachers like Ade and the legendary Chinook, to Veronica the HLIC (head Latina in charge) you can’t go wrong. Chinook gets you out of your head and into the room — fully present. He guides you through your yoga practice with authority. Let go and go! Ade is the bootcamp RockStar. He’s able to get you to do things you had no idea (caterpillars OEMGEE)… and wake up the next day to tell about it lol… They’ve been open less than a month and have already cultivated an authentic family vibe. I’ve swapped business cards, parenting advice and personal testimonies with complete strangers. I’m feeling the V12 withdrawal already. It was an awesome experience and as soon as I can secure some seeds for the money-​grows-​on-​trees-​plant I will be back. V12 Yoga does not disappoint!

The best energy and flow in downtown Dallas! New studio has 2 private showers and huge mat space! The best view of downtown Dallas too.

The only yoga studio downtown! Great view and wonderful building. Right now offering 10 days for $ 10!!!
