People frequently mention the physical space itself, calling it absolutely beautiful, really special, bright, intimate, cozy, and stylish. The atmosphere is repeatedly noted as cozy and welcoming, energetically welcoming, and free of judgment, creating an environment where one feels embraced from the moment you step inside. A visitor who was nervous about trying an unfamiliar studio found the space so intimate, inviting, and thoughtful, appreciating that the mats and props are placed out before class. This attention to detail contributes to a sense of being cared for, which people say makes it a perfect environment to explore and grow in your practice, no matter your level.
Classes and Teaching Philosophy
The studio’s class schedule is designed with intention. The studio states that its classes are intended to inspire connection and encourage curiosity and that they are simply here to hold space for you. A key operational note is that all classes are non-heated and open to various experience levels. The studio keeps its class sizes small on purpose, with each class offered with care and every facilitator and practice chosen thoughtfully. Visitors confirm this curated approach, describing the offerings as all types of classes, thoughtfully curated and really varied & internationally curated. Specific class types mentioned by name from the studio’s website and visitor experiences include Flow, Slow Flow, Restore, Sweat + Sculpt, Motion + Mobility, Slow Burn, Deep Stretch, and Align. These classes cater to a wide spectrum of intentions, from the slower-paced restorative sessions that leave you feeling refreshed to the high-intensity sculpt classes that will challenge you, get you sweating, and make you stronger. One person noted that a 45-minute strength class was a non-stop, full-body strength class with a lot of focus on core, some killer legs, and some back, leaving them drenched and very challenged. Another found Friday noon classes to be so relaxing and refreshing. The music playlists are also a noted part of the experience, described as lovely music and carefully curated by each teacher, ranging from ambient and worldly mixes to indie, RnB, and house with strong beats.
The Teaching Team and Community Vibe
The heart of Open Form is its teaching team, led by founder Jasmine. Visitors consistently praise the instructors for their knowledge, energy, and ability to create a supportive environment. Jasmine is highlighted as a wonderful yoga instructor, an AWESOME teacher, and so knowledgeable about anatomy and form. Her energy is described as having a special joy and energy that’s infectious, and her classes are noted as a perfect mix of fun & challenging, soulful but not too serious. Other teachers like Carisa, Rachel, Ana, and Seetha are also mentioned, with people noting their passion and energy make each class a unique experience. The overall teaching philosophy, as shared by Jasmine, emphasizes that yoga and movement are opportunities for self-exploration and self-guidance and that it’s not about touching your toes or the number of classes you’ve taken; it’s about being present. This aligns with visitor sentiments that the studio prioritizes inclusivity over all else and is a place where you can embrace the silly/clunky/messy. People describe it as a smart, gentle, dreamy studio and community and the kind of yoga I want to be practicing. For those seeking more personalized attention, the studio offers private sessions and private group events, which are described as offering the personalized attention you deserve, tailored to your goals.
