Thrive Yoga is a beautiful place to practice. Its atmosphere and the attitude of its teachers provides full support to everyone, no matter the level of experience. I highly recommend Thrive Yoga to anyone seeking a new location, or an introduction.
Understand their clientèle; genuinely warm and welcoming environment; great premises too.
The best teachers with innovative classes and the coolest studio. More like the West Coast than anything else in the DC metro area.
The staff is inspired to serve.They have a calling to serve. I attend one class a week and many of the staff know me by name after only a few months.
It is a serene respite from a challenging hectic world. The classes are taught by individuals who are highly competent and respected - - truly they are mentors.
Thrive has just the right balance of all of the right things--spirituality, serenity, strength, balance, endurance, flexibility...I could go on and on. What's not to like about Thrive?
I simply couldn't stick with other studios in the area (e.g, Unity Woods and Sun & Moon), but I am addicted to Thrive. You really move and flow through the practice--the key for me is that it doesn't feel disjointed like yoga that is taught at other studios. Also, the classes are difficult enough that you never get bored, but you always have the option of resting and modifying if you need to. My husband doesn't know how I can spend so much time there, but 100 minute classes just zip by. The decor at Thrive also is pleasant and peaceful (as is the staff!)
The teachers are all very accessible and concerned that students get the most from their practices, and the staff is friendly, outgoing, and helpful!
Friendly, knowledgeable about yoga, excellent environment (both physically and mentally), and they provide a level of service that for the most part no longer exists in America.
The instructors are knowledgeable,helpful and warm. They are able to teach to individuals at all levels of yoga practice. The Yoga Center itself is beautifully designed and decorated. You walk in and instantly feel relaxed. The classes are held at many different times enabling those with a variety of schedules to find classes at levels that suit them. I love it. I hope it Thrive continues to thrive!
Not only is Thrive a beautiful and tranquil studio, its people make it truly the area's best yoga studio, hands down!
The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable; the interior is peaceful and the staff is great.
Kim Groark is a fabulous teacher, and the studio is an oasis of tranquility amidst the craziness of Washington, DC!
The teachers are great. The studio is gorgeous. It has everything you need and just the right atmosphere.
I love walking in off crazy with traffic Rockville Pike and into Zen land. It's quiet, super friendly and caters to all of my yoga needs. What a blessing!
I am someone who has done no yoga before. On the advice of a friend who already went there, I took the beginner class and found Susan, the instructor and owner, to be a wonderful teacher. I have continued and all the staff are helpful and supportive and I actually look forward to the classes.
The people & the atmosphere are wonderful. I am peaceful & happy when I am there. I am a middle-aged woman with some arthritis & post-surgery concerns & the staff is sensitive to & helpful with these issues. Thrive Yoga is also very parent-friendly with a great babysitting service & even opportunities for kids' birthday parties.
The owners and staff are exceedingly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and exude good karma. They truly embrace the spirit of yoga as a journey, and emphasize an open, non-judgmental attitude towards yoga practice. The flow-oriented approach ensures that every yoga class I attend is both a vigorous and satisfying exercise for both body and soul!
Thrive stands out because of the immediate sense of peace and calm you feel the moment you enter. Despite this tranquil setting, the teachers and staff are incredibly professional and well-trained to implement all aspects of the yoga experience. It is a wonderfully motivating, yet non-competetive environment. You feel stronger and healthier each time you leave. Although they do not offer hot yoga, they do offer Tapas, and many other options for a fabulous work out. It is a wonderful refuge from our busy lives.
What makes Thrive Yoga the best? The owners of Thrive Yoga are geniuses with heart! I first visited Thrive Yoga on January 2 to fulfill my New Year's resolution to start exercising again after a nearly 3 year hiatus of any serious effort. I was nervous to try yoga since I could barely do a sit-up and doubtful that I could succeed, but my very first visit proved me wrong. Since that January evening, I have participated in basic, gentle flow, and restorative yoga practice sessions.
I voted for Thrive Yoga because it is simply beautiful there. When I walk into the Thrive Yoga Studio, I feel like I have just stepped into another world. Thrive is located on the Rockville Pike, but one would never imagine that it is right off of such a busy area because the inside is so rich with waterfalls and natural stone floors. The Thrive Yoga Studio always makes me feel so welcome; I feel like I am in another dimension there, where stress does not exist, and tension is unknown. What makes Thrive Yoga really special is that the atmosphere of the studio seems to only have one word in it's dictionary: Namaste. -*Laurie Harari*
Thrive has one of the best yoga instructors in the country. The studio design transforms the space into one that immediately conveys the quiet reflective mood ideal for yoga and the water sounds and natural materials in the decor immediately promote peace, tranquility and totally immersion. The classes are exceptional for the quality of the instruction, the design of the practices, the methodology for enabling the students to continually make progress without strain, the totally welcoming and reassuring aura of the studio and the classes, and the great feeling of exhuberation created by the end of each class. I have studied with many of the great yoga teachers in the US. Thrive is an undiscovered treasure of a yoga studio, unlike any I have been to in any other part of the country, and Kim is by far the best yoga instructor that I have ever had.
Thrive has the best teachers and the best ambiance that I have ever experienced. I always feel refreshed after taking one of their yoga classes.
Friendliness of staff, atmosphere of the studio, knowledgeable and patience of the teachers
Overall quality of instruction, breadth of classes and workshops offered, friendliness and enthusiasm of staff, special spiritual atmosphere, kids program -- these are some of the reasons I think Thrive Yoga is the best
The environment is stunning. The teachers and staff are so kind! It is life changing to become a regular student at Thrive.
great teachers in a great space! we, in the burbs, like to do yoga too and it's nice to have a studio around the corner!
Take the best of each of the other studios in town and you get Thrive. The space is amazing, the diverse class offerings with the best teachers, the pricing (not session based but able to drop in), the friendly and knowledgeable staff, the awesome boutique, etc. Once you go, you will not need any other studio.
I have really liked the teachers that I have had so far at Thrive yoga. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The late afternoon class times work very well for my schedule.
Complete and total peace and self acceptance...no pretentiousness and a beautifully peaceful location. They always bring in great guest teachers such as Simon Park who did an excellent Thai Massage seminar.
Fabulous tranquil atmosphere; attention to details; and professional, friendly, talented staff; Great class offerings.
The quality and care of the instructors; the peaceful and beautiful space; the staff; the variety of classes; the location.
The California inspired style of teaching makes this studio unique to the area. Kim Groark is incredible and offers challenging classes with a style all her own. She is an original and a gift to this area. Her following grew quickly and the buzz about Thrive continues to spread, we are lucky to have such great yoga teachers locally now.
As soon as you walk in the door -- you exhale stress, and inhale healing and flexibility. This is a sanctuary for beginners as well as advanced yoga practitioners of every age at every stage. Men, women, teens and children are all welcome into this beautiful studio with exceptionally well-trained teachers.
Great classes, flexible schedules and friendly, helpful, courteous atmosphere! The instructors are wonderful and they offer a variety of levels of classes, even childcare during some!
Incredible atmosphere. terrific programs for kids. wonderful, supportive teachers. It's the best.
