Magnolia Yoga Studio

I love Magnolia Yoga Studio! I've gone to a few of Kaelyn's classes and she's phenomenal. You can tell everyone around there has a love for what they're doing. Good vibes and great quality over there!

I found Mangolia Yoga Studio from a Google search of yoga studios around my hotel. I signed up for the Warm Vinyasa Flow class on Sunday at 10am. I arrived around 15 minutes prior to class so that I could get situated. I met Giselle, who was the instructor of the class, also helped to check me in and acquaint myself with the studio. The studio was beautiful. Even before I walked into the studio I noticed the lovely glass mural of the yogini in camel pose. Everything felt intentionally placed. The lounge area made the place feel warm and inviting. There was plenty of cubbies. The practice space was warm and toasty when I walked in. I got a great sweat through the class, but I didn't find it unbearable. It certainly didn't get to Bikram temperature, which is around 105 degrees.I loved how Giselle's class was like a slow flow. You don't have to move quickly and dynamically in vinyasa to feel like you're putting in the work. You can hold the asanas for several breaths and still feel challenged especially when you're activating every muscle in your body. Giselle offered functional cues and many modifications, which was awesome because it makes the poses accessible for everyone. I would highly recommend her class for all-levels.

New Orleans, LA - In town for a conference. Free yoga sessions were included on site at the conference hotel each morning on the pool deck. Ajax, the studio owner, taught our 30 minute class. She was very encouraging to a class which consisted of newbies and veteran yogis. After traveling, the stretches we did really helped my aches and twisted muscles. She also recommended a couple stretches for daily use by office workers to counter balance our key board typing ways. I've tried them subsequently and they were very helpful. Also Appreciated Ajax's flexibility in our particular situation as class started late due to hotel issue with the pool deck door. Would attend a class at the studio when im next in town. Thank you Ajax!!!

What a splendid yoga experience. We came in for a private yoga class and were treated to a challenging yet fun experience. Magnolia is the first Black owned yoga studio in NOLA and their space is inviting the moment you enter. They have cubbies for your shoes, a lovely seating area, and showers/changing rooms available before and after class. Our instructor was Ajax and they provided fantastic instruction for beginners and a sequence that flowed well together. Our session was hot yoga so with the NOLA humidity you definitely get sweaty. They have towels and coconut water for sale though which was great to have. Anytime I'm back in NOLA this will definitely by my go to spot.

If you are visiting it is a great place to practice, With Andre, but avoid Ajax.The owner, she gives out wrong infromation such as yoga prevents arthritis which she suffers from ,yet yoga hasn't healed it, yet she tells the class that yoga prevents arthritis ,she says yoga build bone density. Dont believe her, block her out as she talks alot during the class, asking about the best alcohol, between tequila and vodka.She is looking for weak people , with low self esteem to manipulate , if you are in the class she will call you out claiming she is trying to help you when in essence she wants you to get off the mat for certain poses, when you are dripping wet, and God forbids you ignor her then you will be reprimanded. I told her i dont need to take her class as our energies does not align , but i can take other instructor class she claimed i am refusing her help and cancelled my membership.

I was visiting from out of town and decided to stop in for my first hot yoga class. I did not realize I'd need a full change of clothes afterwards. The team was friendly and welcoming. I look forward to practicing here again

Magnolia Yoga Studio is probably the most affordable studio in the area, so it's perfect for a drop in visit. This is a personal preference, but I'm not a huge fan of Bikram yoga and when I came here it was very much Bikram-inspired. I don't think the website is very clear on that, but it might be because of Bikram's copyright and whatnot. The room was heated, but definitely not the same humidity/heat as Bikram classes I have gone to. It was a particularly cold that so it probably affected that?Otherwise, the studio is good. It's clean and plenty of space in the locker rooms.

I've been here before while on vacation in the New Orleans French quarter. I've never had yoga like this before! It's a very beautiful studio overall. It has such a positive vibe here and a tracks a diverse range of people. The studios owner/instructor's name is Ajax. Her studio teaches Bikram yoga which is a style of yoga that involves practicing yoga at high temperatures. There are apparently good health benefits associated with this practice.The actual room where all the action happens is sweltering as she has the heater on also. All I can say is make sure you bring a towel and giant bottle of water and drink plenty of it ahead of time. It was definitely a good work out though it would take me a bit to get used to it. I was sweating from head to toe, but I am sure it has many health benefits. The instructor will open the door periodically to control the temperature and give us some relief. She does provide you with the opportunity to leave the room if it becomes too intense for you. Though it was difficult for me, I chose to endure the entire one and a half hour class. It's definitely a good work out if you're interested in exploring other styles of yoga. Warning: not recommended for people with medical conditions or pregnant.

My first time at this cute studio near Tulane. Amazing instructor Ciara will challenge you but in a gentle way. Highly recommend her class!

O M G. This was much needed after the 5 hour plane ride. This place was my first stop on my vacation and I felt rejuvenated after. They have 2 instructors so every one gets the attention they require.
