Searched yelp for Yoga near Old Town Alexandria and found this inviting Yoga studio with cafe in Del Ray. Though there was not a class at the time, I did enjoy a great avocado toast and friendly conversation with Owner Tara and Manager Becky. Will come back to try out a class and a healthy snack and hang out at the cafe :). Great friendly, open atmosphere ( not intimidating or snooty :)))
While I have not exercised here, I have eaten and had smoothies here more than once and the selection is great, and healthy. Highly recommend.
Just moved to Del Rey and was so excited to find a yoga studio and a healthy juice bar-in the same place! Tara's yoga class was exactly what I needed after 2 weeks in the car driving from California. I was spoiled in Santa Monica at a yoga studio where I practiced with a tight knit group led by an incredible teacher. I felt the same vibe here at Ease. Tara even took the time to explain all the different types of yoga and wellness classes offered at her studio, which I greatly appreciated. My decision to keep coming back was easy. I signed up for a 5 class package and I am looking forward to my next class and my next juice!
I recently completed a blissfilled month of unlimited classes at this amazing yoga studio. Ease is a very inviting yoga community with lots of classes and great teachers. If you want to change your mind, your body, and your life...give yourself the gift of unlimited yoga at Ease.
I was jones'n for a juice and yoga after a two week cross country trip. Ease was perfect. Tara's class was amazing. Great mind body connection that led into some great flow. When I come back I will definitely Ease back in.
This summer I decided it was time to get off of the couch and realized that I needed a welcoming and empowering atmosphere in order to be motivated to create and maintain a routine. Ease was running a special, 5 classes for $50, with beginners classes at accessible hours, so I decided to give yoga a try. I was extremely nervous and I scheduled and cancelled a number of classes before finally becoming brave enough, to first purchase a yoga mat, and then actually show up for class. Tara's welcoming smile and demeanor set me at ease when I checked in and then Rachel's welcoming and calming presence gave me the reassurance I needed to make it through my first beginners class. I left that class, in which I sweated more than I had in a very long time, stretched, relaxed and eager to learn more and begin a regular practice. I've attended both of the beginner's classes and enjoy both Colleen and Rachel's styles of teaching. I've also ventured out of beginner's class for Tara's Ease Signature, Pamela's Gentle Therapeutic, Hilary's Curvy, Shari's Restorative, and Ashley's Rise and Shine. I have enjoyed them all and most are a part of my routine/practice. I find that all of the teachers are encouraging, offer a challenge, make adjustments to your posture as needed, and also show modifications as needed. If you are looking for a yoga studio that only asks you to meet yourself in your practice by doing your best in that moment, encourages you to let go, and greets you with a smile and encouragement then Ease is definitely the studio for you. Street parking is available, I haven't had any issues finding a space. The cafe offers healthy and yummy food and beverages. You can order from the cafe before class and your order will be ready and waiting for you when class is over.
A great new yoga studio in Del Ray. The place has a wonderful vibe, very relaxing and nourishing for the body and the soul!! All the instructors are very welcoming, a great place to start a yoga practice and a fun place for experienced yogis. So glad they are in our neighborhood!! The café is also a fun addition. I love their peach and regular gazpachos!
I have so many wonderful things to say about Ease - both the studio and the cafe. It is the perfect addition to family- and dog-friendly Del Ray. The studio opened at a very hectic time in my life - my then-fiance started chemo that same week, we were in the final stressful months of planning our July wedding, work was crazy for me, and I had high blood pressure, despite being in pretty good health. I purchased the introductory $50 for 50 days package and started going to as many classes as I could. Those classes were the only time of the day that I could completely clear my mind and "reset" my system. The teachers all have their unique teaching styles and they are all fantastic (Julie and Ashley are my personal favorites - I am getting stronger every day because of these powerful ladies). The owner Tara is there almost all of the time and she is always a bright point in my day, even if I am just walking past with my dog! She has made a point of really getting to know the clients and the community, which goes a long way. I love her class and always leave feeling challenged, refreshed, and nourished. I've gotten compliments on the physical changes to my body after doing so much yoga, but the real difference for me has been spiritual and emotional. I don't care if that sounds cheesy - it is the truth. Do yourself a favor and check out Ease, even if you already have a favorite studio!
Such a great experience! I am brand new to yoga, but since this studio is so close to my house... I decided to give it a try & wow! The owner was such a beautiful person inside and out! I felt very welcome. I was nervous because I haven't worked out in YEARS. I don't have a "yoga" body. I was pleased to see I wasn't alone in the beginners class. All different shapes and sizes. Everyone was so welcoming that I felt immediately comfortable. I'll be coming back for sure!
Ease Yoga and Cafe is a great Wellness addition to Del Ray, Alexandria. My wife and I have taken several yoga classes so far and we are very impressed with the teachers and the environmental-thought into the buildout of Ease. The Cafe menu continues to grow with more delicious and healthy foods everyday. Bring your water bottle and fill it up at the cold filtered water-fountain station (similar to the one's at airports now)!
