College Park Yoga

Best yoga practice ever. Have practiced in many places in many cities thru the years and this is the best Yoga practice I have ever had. more

On Oct 22, 2011, College Park Yoga had a Vampire Yoga class. My friend had purchased tickets for myself and her to go for my birthday, however I was too sick to go anywhere. We called them to let them know, so that it would open the space up for others to go and was told by Teresa, the owner that she appreciated me calling because she did have others that wanted to do the class. I didn't even think to ask about a refund. I recently have felt much better and thought to email about the refund or class credit. I was informed that there are no refunds or credits no matter what the circumstance and that someone else used our tickets. I wrote back asking if they resold the tickets or just gave away the tickets that we paid for. Teresa said that as with all ""events"" if you purchase a ticket and can't go you have to take it as a loss. She said this works with movie tickets, plays, even basketball games. However, movie theaters do refund your money and play and basketball tickets are resold so that makes no sense to me. And just because it was ""vampire yoga"" does not make it an event comparable to a basketball game etc., it is still a yoga CLASS. She also told me that she and Calvin are the mere directors of the studio and were not authorized to make transactions such as refunds but on sunbiz they are listed as the only two registered agents. If she lied to me once, I have no doubt that she lied about not reselling the tickets and made $50/ticket off of us that evening. As a business owner myself, I would never treat a customer this way. more

the best teachers, the best facility, they are the best! more

Discovered college park yoga on my way home from work one day, and never turned back. A great yoga studio with good people. The classes are the perfect balance of sweat, challenge and stress relief. The teachers are all very helpful and accommodating, all of them speak clear and give helpful instruction. They offer words of wisdom that is far beyond the scope and range of other places i have been. If you are seeking out a place to actually learn what yoga is this is your yoga space. more

I have never in my life seen people write such wicked and cruel words about anything or anyone as some of these other reviewers have written. However, if any business deserves that kind of immature behavior it is certainly NOT College Park Yoga. I have frequented many of the weekend sessions at College Park Yoga. The experiences I have had each time have been very positive and supportive. I find that with all situations there are 2 sides to every story. You need to go visit this studio if you want to learn yoga that is kind and gentle while in the same instance also invigorating and challenging. Everyone I have met at this studio has been nothing but kind and genuine. If you are looking for a yoga experience that is about learning and doing real yoga this is your place. Orlando, no, Florida does not know how good they have it by having this studio as part of their community. more

I've never met people who call themselves yoga teachers and leave students shaking and angry instead of calm and healed. Because I practice yoga nearly daily, I have been to a number of studios in Central Florida and can honestly say I abhor College Park Yoga because of the way both teachers working the registration table treated me on Thanksgiving day. A friend had warned me that the owners were young but had all these rules and were very controlling--that I probably wouldn't like it there. Anyway, as it was my first time at College Park Yoga, I had a $20 and asked for a new student form as well as for information regarding the price of one class. They very rudely told me to read the back of the form instead of telling me $X. I was running late, and simply asked again, ""well, I'm not getting a package, so how much is it for one class? I just want to pay now."" And they each condescendingly laughed at me and coldly replied, ""just read the form. Everything you need to know is on the form, just like we said"" No welcome to our studio, no good morning, no positive energy--just two smug jerks who wouldn't simply say, ""$15."" So I took the form and went to sign and read it, saying, ""I'm sorry for having asked this question,"" and a woman with long dark hair yelled at me, ""looks like SOMEONE is having a good Thanksgiving!"" Well, I was until I decided to try College Park Yoga. I left in disbelief and went to Full Circle, where I found a warm welcome and an easy reply to my question, ""how much for a class?"" I felt better the minute I walked into the studio--as it should be. This is a sham of a business if this is how it welcomes new students. I'll be spreading the word around Winter Park. more

As a beginner to Yoga this has been the greatest place and I will continue with them. Great teachers, great Yoga, great studio, great prices. more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! You just need to go to college park yoga to believe that orlando has a yoga studio like this!! I have been to yoga all over orlando- this town has no idea how fortunate it is to have yoga studio like this. more

College park Yoga is a yoga studio I refer all my friends to. It is a good workout. My mind feels erased after class. This is a yoga studio that is worth running to. They teach a challenging practice and have a way of making students that are new to yoga feel welcomed and regular yoga students feel challenged in all the right ways. All teachers are well trained and honestly kind. I live 45 minutes from this studio but I go there every week to get my practice in. more

This studio offers a lot in terms of yoga and the enjoyment of yoga practice. It is unlike many other yoga studio's I have ever been to in this area. It has a different vibe about it, very grounded and not superficial. There is something very genuine about Theresa and Calvin the owners and teachers. It is easy to love this place! If I would recommend a place to learn yoga, this is the only place in Orlando I would recommend. Pros: light and pleasant atmosphere, knowledgeable instructors more

Worst yoga experience ever - BY FAR. If there was a way to rate this less than ""eh"" I would... Theresea - the teacher refused to shake my hand upon entering class, wouldn't make any eye contact with me the entire time I was there, and assisted everyone in the classroom but made certain to skip over me when she got to me. I have been practicing yoga for a couple years in Orlando and am fully involved in the entire yoga community - which Orlando has a WONDERFUL, loving, and inspirational yoga community - truly has changed my life in so many ways. Through all my conversations with yogis and instructors alike I have found the majority have had similar experiences as I did - the atmosphere is full of ego from insturctors, cold, and unwelcoming to newcomers. I went into the class with an open mind but will definitely not be returning - I don't know how this studio is voted best in Orlando. Go anywhere in Orlando but here... I would hate for newcomers in Orlando or even to yoga experience this and think it is the best we have to offer... This studio has completely closed itself off to the rest of the yoga community and to have as bad a reputation as they do amongst all the other studios and instructors speaks volumes. It is their loss... don't waste your time or money on this ego filled, negative, un-yogic experience. Cons: Unwelcoming, smug teachers, cold community more

I have practiced all over the world and never had a studio/teacher be so downright rude. Cold, unwelcoming, and full of ego. Definitely not an example of Beryl Bender Berch who they say they studied under... Apparently they missed the point because this is not what yoga is about. I'm glad Orlando has a lot of other great studios to attend because I will not attend or recommend this studio to anyone. Cons: rude teachers with big egos - so unwelcoming i was shocked more

was in town just for a few days..googled the ""best yoga studio in Orlando"" and then went to the next class...it was a group effort with the instructors...all were very professional and super enthusiast and willing to help in every way. Had a great full body workout and felt like a million bucks when I left. Price is competitive, environment was clean and pleasant to be in, everybody (instructors & students) seemed really happy to be there. I would definably make it my ""home"" yoga studio if I live anywhere within the area. If you haven't been yet..make it your business to get there and get some good stuff going on in your body. Have a Merry Christmas. Pros: great instructors and instructions,..awesome energy Cons: can't say anything negative..really!! more

Calvin and Theresa are the best yoga instructors in Orlando for sure! The studio is great - warm, rich wood floor, candles burning, buddhas and singing bowls all along with the best instructors - great music and great energy. The are always helping you improve your practice and are very dedicated and very passionate about what they do! i have recommended many people to go here and will continue too. What are you waiting for - just go you wont be disappointed. Pros: great people, great space, good parking more

you must check this place out if you havent had the chance yet! it has been the best yoga experience ever, and i never thought i would be a yoga goer. and be ready to work!! they will bake it def worth your while workout wise but also mentally you get a refreshment and feel so great after the session is done! Pros: best place to practice yoga in the orlando area!! Cons: none! more

I have been a student at CPY for 7 years. Calvin and Theresa are amazing teachers, who themselves continue to grow in their practice and thus they pass that on to their students. The community of practitioners is also what makes this place rock- students with hearts for learning and breathing. CPY is a place of serenity, a place to sweat and detox all the gunk outta your system, a place to get grounded, a place to call home. Come see why so many of us believe it's the best! Pros: caring, skilled teachers more

Calvin and Theresa made me feel right at home. There's no need to try to be a ""Super Yogi"" here! They want everyone to go at their own pace and will even help you modify the pose if you can't quite get it so you don't hurt yourself. Pros: good for beginner through advanced, relaxed atmosphere Cons: none! more

If you want a fun workout that will leave you sweating than this is the place to experience power yoga. The instructors are awesome !!! Once you try it you will be hooked. Pros: beginner friendly more

Although I've never been to the studio I have studied with Theresa and Calvin along with Beryl Bender Birch. T and C are amazing teachers!! If I could, I'd would practice with them daily. They have ""powerful"" energy and it spills out into every aspect of their lives and I'm sure their studio as well. Just being around them you can feel the buzz. Give it a go. The energy is infectious! Pros: Well trained teachers, amazing energy more

Perfect place to get your OM on.... Pros: Yoga.. OM perfect more
