From the reviews
I have had GREAT experiences at Yoga Projekt. I have tried several different classes and enjoyed all of them. The atmosphere is clean, relaxing, and vibrant. The instructors have great form and are extremely helpful and friendly. I always leave feeling happy and energized! I recommend this studio 100%!!
The yoga projekt is one of the best places for yoga in this area. I’ve been to a couple other studios and nothing has come close to what the yoga projekt offers. The instructors are phenomenal, always taking the extra time to help guide you through a pose.
Went for my first reformer class today with Cindy and it was wonderful! This is the first time I’ve worked out in years and the difficulty level was perfect! I was challenged without being overwhelmed or feeling like I was going to die.
I took a group reformer class and Julia was amazing. Super sweet and welcoming. You don’t always get that with smaller classes. I had not done a reformer class in awhile (or any form of physical exercise other than walk/hike) due to injury and pain, so I was a bit nervous.
Teacher training at The Yoga Projekt
The Yoga Projekt comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at The Yoga Projekt
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
