College Park Yoga

Calvin and Theresa are wonderful teachers for yoga and for life. I believe they are true healers whom radiate amazing energy to all whom enter the studio every day and evening. The wisdom that comes from these two precious people is fascinating. Pros: Best yoga instructors Cons: All good more

T and C are amazing people!!!! Pros: the instructors are angels more

Everytime I have a chance to go to my fav yoga place I know that I am in for a treat ! Never gets boring, always exhilirating .. stress buster session ! Pros: Theresa&Calvin and the whole package Cons: too good to be true ! more

I am a yoga beginner who was invited to College Park Yoga by a friend who is anything *but* a beginner! And so I work on my breathing and try not to fall over while she's next to me wrapping her body parts around in impossible directions. What I love is that there are lots of both of us at CPY. Lots of beginners, lots of people who have had a good yoga practice for years and years, and lots of people in the middle. It manages to be a place for everyone to come and practice yoga comfortably together. And the fantastic instructors - Theresa and Calvin - seem to have an uncanny ability to push everyone to work their hardest while avoiding making anyone feel self-conscious or upset about any current limitations. I can't say enough positive things. I never feel as good as I do when I walk out of that yoga class, sweaty and disheveled and exultant. You should go. Bring a friend or two. And just keep breathing. Pros: Welcoming calm environment, encouraging and expert staff Cons: I honestly can't think of any.... more

I loved a yoga class there which was a combo of kundilin yoga, ashtanga and dance. I forget the teacher's name. That class was exhilirating. Everyone working at the center is super nice too. I don't know if it is still in business though? more

I attended my first yoga class at CPY (first yoga class ever, for that matter) in Jan 2007. . .Now I cannot live without it. T & C are the most innovative teachers that I have ever encountered. They really get into your head (and your heart). I would never have considered myself a yoga student before - but now I know they have taught me about yoga and about life.... Pros: T & C Cons: Nothing more

I have been practicing yoga since 1994. I moved from NYC to Orlando in 2006 worried about finding a yoga class that would help me progress as a student and aid me in my path of yoga on all levels. Thank goodness I found College park Yoga. The instructors Theresa and Calvin are fantastic. Not only do they maintain personal practice beyond asana (postures), they also know how to relay the essence of yoga in a manner that makes sense to anyone new to yoga or seasoned. The practice they teach is based on Power Yoga which is an internal heat practice. Be sure to be while hydrated, while they don't heat the room it can seem warm to you if you haven't had any water to drink. The atmosphere is warm and inviting much like walking into your own living room, leaving the city to be in Orlando was a big change for me and College Park Yoga made me feel right at home! Pros: Great space, knowledgeable instructors, convenient class times, great for any level of yoga student Cons: We can't duplicate College Park Yoga and plant more of them all around the world. more

I love Yoga, and have been looking for an affordable place in college park for some time......so I tried this place. First of all, this place is so hot inside you can barely breath, even though they say it is not the type where they crank the temp up. Then, all the instructors keep repeating the entire class is how you are not supposed to be looking at the people around you. I never do, and I am there just for myself, but with them constantly repeating it every 2 minutes.......literally.......made me think other people were staring at me and then made me paranoid to even look anywhere but the floor! I went a few times thinking maybe there are a bunch of new people in this class and they want to let everyone know the deal, but the next 4 times were all the same. Then after the class when you are dripping with sweat because of the 95 degree temp in the room, they want to hug you good bye. I am sorry, but I don't want anyone to touch me when I am sweaty, and I sure don't want to touch a complete stranger when they are dripping with sweat! I guess I am there for exercise and peace of mind, not to act like I am in a hippie conmune or something. Pros: Good price, great location Cons: high temp, crowded with tree hugging hippies more

Calvin and Theresa are amazing. This is a very special studio. There are few places left where people really care about each other; this is one of them. more

The practice at this studio perfectly balances the physical and mental benefits of yoga. The ashtanga instruction is such that students can take a class for an energizing, strength-building workout or a restorative mental cleanse (or both)! Owned and operated by a couple deeply committed to their discipline, CPY's atmosphere brims with sincere warmth and friendliness. Although they and many of their students are very advanced, the instructors help beginners stay motivated and confident, provide lots of suggestions for modifications, as well as encourage you to use the resting positions instead of hurting yourself to achieve a body-contorting asana. If you go take your first class, definitely take them up on their one-time only offer of the first three classes for $20. more
