yoga V studio - Grand Junction, Colorado

Christina Bargelt

Let me begin by saying that I have never, ever written a negative review before especially regarding a small, local business, but as other reviews have stated, the owner of this studio is incredibly rude, unprofessional, and unkind, and her behavior made me feel unwelcome to attend classes after the below interaction, and in the end, I lost money. I will say the studio itself is beautiful and clean, and the individual instructors are lovely.

I bought a class multi-pack in the spring of 2024, but I began noticing the classes that worked with my schedule disappearing from the offerings. I reached out to the business about this and was told that the different instructors' vacations were too difficult to manage (even though the owner is certified herself and could, theoretically, substitute the classes?), so the classes I wanted would return in the fall. The owner did extend the expiration date on my pass, which I appreciated, but I responded that I would like my class pass refunded because I was moving out of the area prior to the class pass expiration and the lack of classes that worked for my schedule plus my moving date would not make the 2 week or so extension of the pass worthwhile. I was very rudely told, "I'm so sorry you are not finding the time to attend the classes we offer at the studio. This is an instructor led studio; therefore, the studio accommodates each instructor's busy schedules. It is our policy that no refunds are available. Enjoy this lovely weekend."

THIS POLICY WAS NOT STATED ANYWHERE ON THEIR WEBSITE when researching class passes to buy. Additionally, I would not have bought this pass if there weren't classes offered that worked for my schedule at the time of purchase. She is the one who canceled them. I searched the website for a return policy again because, as someone who has worked retail and worked for small businesses, I wanted to give this studio the benefit of the doubt and make sure I hadn't misread something, but again, there is no refund policy on their website. So, unfortunately, in a tight economy, buyer beware with this business. I also concur with other reviews that their late arrival policy is very ridiculous at this studio.

Words cannot begin to describe this wonderful hidden gem of a studio! I was on assignment at the local hospital and decided to take a couple of classes with the colder weather change. From the first interaction with the owner on the phone to every instructor I encountered felt authentic and genuine. They remember you and your name and you instantly feel like a community member! The class rooms accommodate the class size and I personally prefer heated sessions which they end with a chilled essential oil towel (if you desire). I took a few of the non heated, stretch, and meditative classes as well and they did not disappoint. I’ve been to many studios across the country and the talent that teaches here is phenomenal! I also enjoy that the website provides a brief bio on the instructors to get a feel if their class will be a good fit for your style. My personal favorites were Matt and Monica to guide my practice. If you’re like me who travels and has taken many classes at several studios or a newbie don’t hesitate and book this studio! They will welcome you and honor the space. They are also accommodating to being on call (I simply put my pager/phone on vibrate and personal choice to stay by the door should I have to step out early).
Thank you Yoga V!

I've been a member at Yoga V for going on 4 years now. After reading reviews like the one I'm writing right now, I made the decision to join this studio over any of the others in town. I absolutely fell in love with the way that yoga made me feel, especially when taught by such knowledgeable instructors. Since joining at Yoga V I've attended class at other studios whenever I'm out of town. None of them have the level of instructors, atmosphere of owners that Yoga V has. If you ever have a question or concern, you can email Anita and she always responds immediately. In fact, this studio is so welcoming that it feels like a second home to me. Hell, I even met my wife at Yoga V! I will be a lifelong member of Yoga V, and always appreciative for the friends (and wife) that I have gained at such a wonderful studio. Thank you to everyone at Yoga V for making my life that much better, physically and emotionally. I love this place.

I have been a long time yoga practitioner and have practiced off and on at yoga V since 2010. After a brief hiatus from the studio, I have retuned exclusively to this hot yoga studio. It’s nice to be back, all of the teachers are mindful of the students personal and physical needs on their mat, allowing the students to navigate their own practice! It feels good
To be “home”. By far the best hot yoga studio in town!

Being new to yoga, I signed up for the intro offer for 30 days and found it to be such a wonderful experience. The yogis are so friendly and knowledgeable …they guide you in a way that personalizes your journey for each class. I am always greeted by a friendly face and have experienced a great client experience -thank you Yoga V staff! If you are new to yoga, I would recommend taking advantage of the intro offer; take various classes by different instructors at different times in order to see what the Yoga V experience offers; you won’t be disappointed.

Similar to other reviews, I had a pretty bad experience with the owner of this studio. I've been attending classes here for many years and was going to renew my monthly membership after taking a postpartum break. Rather than welcoming a long-time customer back with open arms, the owner of the studio was cold and terse, only focusing on a miscommunication about a cancellation over half a year ago. Unfortunate that the leadership of a yoga studio would leave a student with such a sour taste. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Participated in a drop in class and it was a great experience all around! There were quite a few class options to choose from and it seemed like there were a few classes each day of the week. I lucked out and got in a $5 community class! It was really easy to register for a spot on a mobile device and check-in was seamless when I got there. Facility was clean and the tapas room offered a great heated session! They had props and mats available to borrow. Instructor Susie was great and led a fantastic flow set! I'm looking forward to practicing here again!

This is a great studio. I recently moved from out of town and was looking for a new place to practice. I appreciate that the Yoga V studios are not mirrored and are heated. The music is always great and teachers are wonderful!

My only complaint is that in the classes I've attended there has been at least one person who was wearing a mask around their chin and mouth, but not covering their nose. This has made the in person experience feel less safe than it should.
