Barefoot Works Yoga

Wonderful Yoga for Stress Relief class with Erin tonight. I try to take a yoga class or two during the weeks when I'm on the road in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan -- which is quite often -- and this class and the studio are both easily in my top 3. I have only occasionally gone back to the same studio more than once, but I think based on tonight that I will be back whenever I'm in Lexington! Beautiful space here and exceptional class... just what I needed.

That ceiling! A great place to cast your gaze, being surrounded by all the natural wood. If you can't be out in nature, this is probably the next best place to practice yoga. They have a sophisticated system for newbies and make all the information easy to access; staff are all hospitable. Everything you need is provided so you don't even need your mat if you don't have one or forget. The outside could use some TLC, we were actually kind of skeptical walking up. I must also say, the classes are too expensive for me; unfortunately I'll only be visiting on occasion... bummer.

Beautiful studio in a very easy to find location. I LOVED the design with the tall convex ceiling that reminded me of being in a big tent. Participants were very spaced out, this is a large room. Our yogi was very personable and easy to follow, I felt like I got a good workout in addition to the usual benefits of yoga. I can't wait to return for more classes here!

Sarah's yin yoga class is one of the best yoga classes in town, in the humble opinion of this humble yogini. I love this studio - I think that the atmosphere that so many yoga studios go for is real and authentic here. The yoga community here is also warm and welcoming. I don't do studio classes as often as I might like, so definitely don't count as a regular here, but nevertheless feel very comfortable and have pleasant interactions whenever I am able to make it. I also miss the Sunday afternoon class! It was another favorite.

Barefoot Works is a beautiful, peaceful, clean, and lovely place to practice yoga. The teachers are fantastic, caring, and knowledgeable, and I always feel welcome there. The owner, Sharon, is passionate about introducing students to the beauty and joy of yoga in a safe and compassionate manner. If you're looking for a yoga studio in Lexington, I'd definitely recommend Barefoot Works!

Recently took a kids yoga class with Lisa at Barefoot Works. My girls loved it! They had sure a good time. Can't wait to do it again!

Love love love this place. The teachers are amazing, always making me feel comfortable and really allowing and encouraging me to make my practice my own. It smells so great when you walk in. Awesome place for beginners and seasoned yogis.

I've had the privilege of taking a couple classes at @barefootworksyoga lately and I have a couple more scheduled in the near future. While I have continued practicing at home, I feel like I need some help and instruction to progress. It's a huge #nsv that I'm going to public places lately to work out with other people. Even going to the gym and doing self-guided workouts can be a challenge due to anxiety and an inability to get out of my own head. So doing a concentrated workout alongside a group has, until recently, been nearly unthinkable..I've been to a few other classes at different establishments and, while they've been good, I still struggled with being present. But the energy of Barefoot Works Yoga (both the space and its people) is so genuinely welcoming that I've been able to focus so much better. The teachers with whom I've worked so far seem to truly be interested in helping you build a better you- there's no pressure, just instruction and encouragement. The gorgeous, ethereal space in which classes are held only adds to the experience. With lanterns surrounding the room and a skylight overhead, I've found it easier to relax into my practice there than anywhere else besides home.

Barefoot Works Yoga is the most aesthetically pleasing place I have practiced yoga in. When you lay down in Savasana, you can see the sky through skylight of the raised wooden ceiling. The building is wooden & walls lined with live plants. The teachers are warm, welcoming, approachable & emphasize self-compassion & the other limbs of yoga (not just asana). If you want to practice in a group setting, I recommend this space. There at w variety of classes to select from Mind Body App. They are in the wooden building in front of Lowe's on Richmond Road. My favorite place to be other than home. I started as a student, went to retreat & felt a warm & welcome community, took yoga teach training which was TRANSFORMATIONAL & now I am teaching in this beautiful space & have developed some of the richest connections with other people I've had. I travel for my career to different studios around the US, this one is my favorite & I have heard others provide the same compliment. Obviously I am grateful for this community/space/Sharon Tessandori (studio owner) & yoga. Namaste.
