Wilmington Yoga Center

I have a 200 hour teacher training certification from a well-known corporate yoga studio where I practice and did my training in San Diego and wanted to continue with a 300 hour certification. My husband got stationed near Wilmington so I signed up for a 4-day workshop that would count as a module towards this certification. This was the WORST experience with a yoga studio I have ever had. The training started every day with an hour of kirtan (not necessarily bad so I am not including it in my appraisal that this studio deserves 1 star or less, just really not my thing so it bears mentioning). We then started working through the sequences that we would be learning to teach by doing a practice of them ourselves as a group. As a yoga teacher I was shocked at how unsafe and unintelligent the sequencing design was. The receptive rotational movements of the shoulders immediately began to bother my rotator cuff, so I scaled back to avoid any injury. The workshop description had claimed that we would learn 5 sequences. However, upon getting the manual, we were told that we could not teach them anywhere else without paying a royalty for the branded material. It was established in court, and in the court of public opinion, when Bikram tried it that you cannot copyright a yoga sequence. Furthermore, of the 5 sequences, one sequence was 25 minutes long with the other half of the class being to encourage "free flowing" and the other was just a self-guided practice. Sequences are valuable because they take a lot of time, skill and creativity to make. To sell 5 sequences and deliver 3 is fraud. There are many other great yoga studios in town that I have found since this awful experience that actually care about sacred yoga values and offer fantastic and safety sequenced classes. Absolutely horrible experience.

So far I have only been to two classes. Both times were different instructors. Each one of them bring unique experiences and truly help their students. They are willing to help and teach proper positions as well as care about the individual's well-being. Wilmington yoga makes you feel welcome. Not to many places do that anymore. I can't wait to go to my next class!

I just started back after having shoulder surgery. They have been very kind and helpful. There is no big push to do more than I am capable of. All of the instructors I have had have been wonderful! I love the hours, and they have a great variety of classes!

I love how many classes are offered here. There is such a variety and I haven't had a problem in finding a class that fits my schedule. The facilities are clean and they have a room dedicated to hot yoga and a separate room for unheated yoga, which is nice. I have been in the Fire Room for hot yoga and it is a spacious room. I haven't felt like I was on top of anyone else. Everyone there has been very friendly and inviting. So far I have loved my experience!

I love how everyone is so friendly. The place is very calming. It doesn't matter how long I've been away I'm always welcomed back. They offer so many different classes that I hope to expand on one day besides the basic.
