Magnolia Yoga Studio

I attended the New Years Day class at Hotel Peter and Paul and had a wonderful experience overall. The event space, a former cathedral, was gorgeous and the community that the studio owner Ajax and Magnolia cultivated was warm and welcoming. Ajax took the time to welcome me and inquire about my health (I was recovering from a recent foot surgery so was somewhat nervous to join a group class) but my nerves were instantly eased by her calm demeanor and confidence. A few times she called folks out for being on their phone or taking pictures but I believe this was to ensure that the group felt comfortable and that the sacredness of a yoga class was fully respected. As a NYC studio owner I highly recommend Magnolia Yoga and hope to return when back in Nola.

I love supporting New Orleans’ first black-owned yoga studio and have been taking classes here for several years. Every teacher that I have had the pleasure of learning from has something special to offer: Amber, Kaelyn, Ciara, Gisele, Andre, & Josiah, and Ajax the owner. Ajax has created such a wonderful space for the community. She runs frequent specials for new members and offers discounts to students, educators, first responders, and others. Classes for people on all schedules. Come sweat it out with us. You won’t be disappointed.

Love this place! Owner Ajax creates an experience that provides instruction on proper posture, form & breathing. Josiah’s Friday vinyasa flow never disappoints. Never the same class and his playlist is always in point.
