Lotus Yoga & Pilates - Watkinsville (GA)

5 /5 Lorena Cobb: This is my go-to yoga studio. There are so many different variety of classes and there are plenty of time slots so you can fit a work out into your day. The people here are lovely and the classes are challenging but fun, and as always, you can go at your own pace or find variations of poses that work for you! The space is very welcoming and I love that it is located within wire park, thus having plenty of activities around for after or before class!

5 /5 Christina Karstedt: I always leave lotus feeling better than when I arrive. It is the perfect reset for my mind and body. I love how the hot yoga flow classes center me. The reformer Pilates class challenge my muscles in such a fun way. All the instructors are so encouraging and clearly love what they do. I always feel so welcome when I walk in. Come once and you will see why this is such a special space.

5 /5 Katie Little: From the second you walk into Lotus you feel the warmth- both literally and figuratively. The rooms are warm and the staff is warmer! After a time or two they all greet you by name. Blindly attended my first Pilates class knowing nothing about what to expect. I left the staff know when I checked in and they made it clear that it was no problem at all and made sure to give me a few extra pointers along the way. I fell in love and now attend 3-5 classes a week! What’s not to love about working out while laying down (at least for parts of class). My brain has now associated the cold lavender cloth at the end of each class with having pushed myself and earning the cool relief. Try it out, you won’t regret it!!

5 /5 Shey Wilkin: I highly recommend going and experiencing hot yoga at Lotus Yoga. It has been over a decade since I’ve done any organized yoga, but Lotus made it feel like hardly any time had passed at all. I’ve only gone once so far, but I’m already planning my next visit. Ally, the instructor during my hot yoga power hour, was fantastic. The class is for all skill levels, and Ally is able to smoothly go around to help adjust students without interrupting the flow of the class. The heat, the music, the pace, and the overall atmosphere made for a perfect workout. I left very sweaty, but also feeling very relaxed. Recommend drinking a bottle of water beforehand and having one for class, as well as coming 10-15 minutes early. There are mats, towels, and blocks available to borrow. Plenty of parking at Wire Park. $27 per class, but there are many deals running currently, like a free first class and $59 for the first month of unlimited yoga. Great place for your hot yoga fix.

5 /5 Lilly Deane: Ever since moving away from Athens I’ve constantly missed going to Lotus!! I didn’t realize how GOOD I had it at Lotus until trying to find a Pilates studio in my new city. I haven’t been able to find a studio that has reformer Pilates and hot yoga/mat Pilates and I’ll always kick myself for taking my time at Lotus for granted! The reformer classes gave me an amazing foundation for classical Pilates and were never more than 8 people in a class not to mention the unbeatable price. Love and miss yall!!
