Lucidyogi

My wife and I live in the neighborhood and love this studio and community space. Unlike some studios, the classes here are more intimate.

I, as a not so new yogi, have found my yoga home at Lucid Yogi in Richmond. It is conveniently located only four blocks from my apartment. The class sizes are never too large nor have I ever felt judged or uncomfortable. The space is phenomenal with comfortable lighting for the day and night classes, warm temperature to make you sweat, and no mirrors which helps me to focus on how I feel rather than how I look. You can hear some outside noise, but yoga is about blocking all that out, right? ;)
The instructor Claudine is awesome. She listens to everything you have to say and really challenges you to get a greater meaning out of yoga, beyond the asanas. She takes great interest in her students and makes a great effort to make us feel comfortable with her and with each other. I have also attended her meditation class which I highly recommend to anyone, whether they have zero experience with meditation or have an established mediation practice. She answered all of my questions and provides a great wealth of knowledge.
FYI: After my first class, I was a little wary because the class didn’t seem to be super structured but after attending my second class I realized that was the beauty of it. Claudine was acting as a guide for our own personal practice. I then booked a unlimited month because I couldn’t get enough! She is one of the few teachers in Richmond that I have felt genuinely care about my yoga practice and me as a person. I highly recommend Lucid Yogi to everyone and I hope you come to a class soon!
