Skanda Yoga Studio

It’s been 11 years since I took my first class at Skanda, and I haven’t stopped ever since, including over a year of online streaming home practice during the pandemic. I think I was the only digital student displayed on the screen for a while lol. The studio quickly became my second home, and my teachers and the community my family. In 2015, I completed my TT200 which further connected me to this incredible practice created by Anand and Sadhana. Skanda has become an integral part of my life, grounding me, challenging me, and helping me to stay in remembrance of my mind, body and soul connection. I learn something new in every class, not only physically but all also personally, and it has been with me in my good and bad times helping me bring peace and harmony to my life. I have practiced many different styles of yoga, and all of them have their unique qualities, but to me, as we all experience things differently, Skanda’s dynamic style, sequences, depth, philosophy, which integrates the Hindu teachings with the Mayan universal knowledge, is the most complete practice that maintains the traditional teachings of yoga while allowing you to explore other infinite possibilities. I feel blessed to have found this studio, these teachers, this knowledge and this family. Like my Skanda brother and fellow teacher Jeff would say during class “Welcome to Skanda”. Hope all of you get to come and practice once, and then remain constant enough to see and feel the change through time.

I'm so grateful to have discovered Skanda Yoga Studio when I first moved to Miami 4 years ago. And I've been practicing here ever since! The owners and founders of the style and studio are extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the practice (not just the physical) and they do an amazing job at creating an authentic, spiritual homey vibe. I had 10+ years studying yoga and they enhanced my practice exponentially! Someone once described it as "the studio where teachers go to practice", which I see as indicative of the high-quality yoga being taught. However, if you're not a teacher or advanced pracitioner, please don't let that stop you from coming! Regardless of level, each and every Skanda teacher will lay the right foundation for you to build upon due to the alignment focused, sequenced and demonstrated, highly trained teachers. 10/10 Highly Recommend 🏼❤️

Clear cuing ★★★★★ Mindfulness /breathwork ★★★★★ Asana variety ★★★★☆ Daylight studio ★★★★★ Rental mats/ loaner props ★★★★★ Good value ★★★★★ Stumbled upon a gem in Skanda Yoga - where ancient wisdom meets modern zen, minus the pretentious "om-ing" you might expect! This place nails the sweet spot between spiritual sanctuary and practical studio space, with hardwood floors that have definitely seen their fair share of warrior poses and "oops, didn't mean to fall out of that headstand" moments. The décor is a masterclass in tasteful spirituality; think stunning mandalas and Hindu art that'll have you feeling enlightened before you even touch your mat. They've got enough props to outfit a yoga army, all meticulously organized (your Type A soul can rest easy). And can we talk about that natural light? It's like Mother Nature's own Instagram filter in there. Bonus points for the tropical exterior that makes you feel like you're entering a high-end ashram rather than just another strip mall studio. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or still trying to figure out which way your mat should face, Skanda's got that rare vibe that says "namaste" with a friendly wink. Just be warned: the tranquil atmosphere might make you forget about your regular gym membership altogether!

Such a wonderful studio for true yogis. From meticulous details focused on alignment to humbling strength power poses… loved Skanda so much that I downloaded the app. Allaine, April and Luis teach beautiful classes.

I visit Miami a few times per year, and I come to this yoga studio every time I am here. The classes are powerful and are very focused on alignment, & self growth. I recommend this studio so highly! I always leave feeling like a new person :)
