Ive been regularly attending 5 Points Yoga for a little less than a year, and I can already feel a huge improvement in my beat up 40 year old body. I usually take classes with either Brenda or Caroline and they are both exceptional, but Ive taken classes with other instructors as well and have yet to have anything but a good experience. I highly recommend 5 Points Yoga.
I went to five points pre-pandemic and it is even more lovely with its recent renovations and growth. I’ve been to Lindsay and Kalen’s classes and they both are skilled teachers.
It is a great place to learn and practice yoga. Centrally located in Five Points, there is ample parking very close to the studio.The classmates are diverse in age and gender and that helps generate a positive class attitude which makes for a relaxed and supportive class environment.The instructors are great and have a nice way to make a participant aware they may not be performing the pose quite correctly and what they need to do to correct it.Highly recommended!
I have taken a variety of classes and loved every one. The instructors are excellent. The opportunity to join online has been a positive experience for me. Thank you.💛
Five Points Yoga is wonderful. I am over 40 and a runner (~15 miles a week when not training for a half marathon), so recovery has slowed down for me—aches and pains are a regular fact of life. I started going to a stretching class about five months ago during a promotion they were having (two weeks unlimited classes). The first week, I just did stretching classes. That was positive and I noticed a difference, so I tried out some additional classes (yoga basics, slow flow, Iyengar). There are challenging maneuvers, but everybody is so positive and encouraging that I have rarely got frustrated. I get a great work out and have a good time. The instructors are very welcoming and affirming, and signing up for classes online is so easy. Lately, I try to go four times a week. Here I am, five months on, and I am feeling fitter, stronger, and more relaxed than ever!
I recently joined the studio and it has been a welcoming and friendly place! I have thoroughly enjoyed each class and each teacher I have met has been kind, supportive, and amazing. I am glad to have new challenges. I have done a few in person and one online and all have been great experiences.
Five Points Yoga is great! Ive been going to their classes for a couple of months now and I can see such a big difference in my mood and energy level now that Ive been starting my day off or unwinding after a hard workday with a yoga class. Theres a nice variety of instructors and types of classes, plenty of props available for use, and they leave plenty of room between mats.
I am into my 4th week of yoga at 5 points yoga and have enjoyed every minute. All the staff are great and very knowledgeable and I feel so much better doing this for my health and wellness. Thanks so much 5 points!
If you’re looking for a grounding and wholesome experience, 5 Points Yoga is the place! Every instructor has such a unique and incredible perspective to offer. There is something for everyone. Classes are challenging and adjustable to accommodate every need. The ambiance is also incredible. I couldn’t be more appreciative and thankful to have found this little gem in Athens!
Chets Iyengar Class was amazing- great work on shoulder stands at the wall with props and headstands at the wall with lift up of one leg and then the other and alternations. Well- planned, thought out sequencing. Cueing was great. I liked the different stance on the mat for Trikonasana. Half Moon at the wall with bowing was wonderful! Thank you for yet again another great class. Karen
Being a part of the community at five points yoga has been an integral part of my self healing journey. The people here are doing yoga for healing and growth of mind, body, and spirit - not for any pop culture purpose. The connections Ive made with yoga instructors Ive worked with have been authentic, and I always leave the studio feeling grounded in a truer and more genuine version of myself. If youre searching for a way to ease some pain (physical or mental) or are feeling overwhelmed and dont know where to turn, come try a class. Youll be welcomed with open arms. 💙
Not only does 5 points yoga offer a great variety of classes, but it has a fun, loving, and accepting atmosphere. The instructors at 5 points yoga are some of the most fun-loving and genuine people I have met. You truly get a yoga community here.
Five Points is great. The instructors are knowledgeable and they take care to make sure youre not over extending yourself. I took a Slow Flow class during my lunch break on a Friday afternoon with Brenda. She was awesome. She was very encouraging and patient. I am new to yoga, but once I settled in during her class, I felt at ease!The studio offers online and in person classes. They have a variety of class types and times to choose from so you shouldnt have any problems fitting a class or two into your schedule.Their prices are reasonable and they have some great introductory offers for new members!Check them out! Treat yourself! You deserve it! Happy Spring!Peace
I love Five Points Yoga! The friendly teachers and staff make you feel welcome right away. The classes are the perfect mix of workout and stretch, and the cues are easy to follow. Tips and explanations on postures are helpful and appreciated. Im so glad I found this neighborhood gem.
Friday night deep relaxation yoga with Caroline is a must-do way to end my week! Feeling the full benefits of good asanas..
Highly recommend Five Points Yoga! The community of yogis is wonderful, and the studio offers the occasional retreat where you can get to know each other. The studio adapted quickly to COVID-19 with zoom classes and outside yoga (a personal favorite). The class length varies from 30 to 90 minutes and the style varies from stretching to slow yoga to higher intensity. There is something for everyone!
Five Points Yoga cultivates a welcoming Yoga community of peace, acceptance and fun! I always go home with “Yoga Glow” from the wonderful classes taught by the skilled teachers. There’s usually a few laughs and sometimes a calm dog to greet you!
Wonderful first class! Looking forward to more. Lindsey was super welcoming and made sure I felt very comfortable.
When I moved to Athens a couple of years ago I began my search for a yoga class that fit my needs. After a long year of searching and attending classes at a number of locations, I decided to try 5 points yoga. I instantly knew I had finally come to the right place! The studio is very comfortable and inviting and the instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. They have many class choices and the positive vibe is genuine. I always look forward to my time there and I come away feeling refreshed and renewed. Im so glad to have found this studio!
Five Points Yoga is my yoga home in Athens. Ive been to all of the other studios, and I greatly appreciate them; yet Five Points offers something different. There are classes for everyone: if you like the speedy, vinyasa flows or challenging power yoga classes, youll find them here. But more importantly, youll find instructors who are dedicated to the proper alignment of each pose and who take the time to help each student fit the pose to THEIR BODY, rather than the other way around. None of the classes are regimented; youll find something new each time. If you want a studio where youll dive in deep and get to know your mind and body intimately through proper alignment, this is the place for you.
This is the best yoga studio in Athens. The instructors are warm, fun, and very skilled. I went to classes frequently throughout both my pregnancies and every class I attended had an instructor who was eager to help me find modifications in order to stay active and comfortable the entire time. There is such a profound atmosphere of support and community there--it really does feel like home. I have been doing the year-long 200-hour teacher training there and I cant believe how much I have learned through working with Shannon and Anne. Their experience is extensive and I am so happy to have the opportunity to study with such knowledgeable teachers.
Ive been attending regular classes at 5 Points Yoga for years and it feels like home. The teachers are stellar and the space is beautiful. The teacher training course is a deep dive into the ancient wisdom and practices of yoga, as well as an opportunity to personally build a new community of peers and friends. This is my favorite Athens yoga studio!
Five Points Yoga is part of my weekly routine. Shannon, Anne and all of the lovely instructors have created a community where all feel welcomed. While they each have their own style, there is something for everyone. I always leave class feeling like it was the best part of my day! These gentle and compassionate people are making the world a little better one breath at a time.
5 points is a great place to practice yoga, the teachers wonderful, classes are varied there is something for every level of practice, they are committed to making your experience here comfortable and safe, there is a genuine love of sharing the yoga journey with you.
Teacher training at 5 Pts Yoga offered a sense of community and insight into the traditional and modern practices of yoga. A thorough program that requires accountability and yet offers gentle guidance to bring out the best, I recommend this training for anyone who is serious about deepening their practice. You will learn about the origins of yoga, connect with others on their journey, and be given a safe space to practice creating and teaching your own yoga sequences. The group size is smaller and more intimate than other programs and enhanced by highly trained and experienced teachers. The staff is warm and welcoming - a great program for beginners and for more mature yogis! Shannon & Anne are a great team :)
Great environment. Instructors give clear guidance and encouragement. I feel very comfortable attending classes even as a newbie to yoga.
What a fantastic yoga studio. Top notch teachers, calming space, owners who truly care and get to know their students. This is my happy place and I feel lucky to have such an amazing yoga studio in town! I chose to do my yoga teacher training here last year. To say it was life-changing is an under-statement. Well worth the money and time commitment.
Best Yoga studio in Athens, its my favorite place to be, I like how all the teachers are different and amazing in their unique way. I am so grateful that I went there more than a year ago for a first class, and I never left, now its a very important component of my self care routine. Best yoga classes by amazing human beings.
5 Points Yoga is truly a welcoming and knowledgeable studio. A place to be yourself and grow. I participated in their yoga teacher training. It was a transformative experience. Their knowledge, guidance and availability was instrumental in my growth. Just great!!
I highly recommend the 5Points. Their YTT programs, workshops and variety of daily yoga classes are all incredible. The teachers are wonderful. Great community and location Is perfect. I cant wait to go to Scotts 8am class now that he is teaching.
Five Points Yoga is a fabulous studio with great community. I moved to Athens after practicing yoga in Washington, D.C. for five+ years and I was nervous I wouldnt be able to find a studio I liked in Athens. I am SO GLAD I found Five Points Yoga. The instructors are great and well versed in alignment in addition to being incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Five Points Yoga is a heart felt yoga studio filled with wonderful, knowledgeable instructors. The kindness, care and attention I received during my teacher training is something I will always remember. Thank you Five Points Yoga for being amazing! Tracy Brown
Five Points Yoga is wonderful! I came here based on a friends recommendation, and Ive loved every second of it. The instructors are wonderful and youre always greeted by your first name at the front desk. Its a great experience, and a very clean, well-run studio. I highly recommend!
Without a doubt, this is the best yoga studio in Athens. Unfortunately, Athens is not my home but every time I visit Athens for long stay I sign up for their classes and I SO wish Five Points opened in Boston, MA sometime :) I love Shannons classes!
Five Points Yoga has a great studio and all the teachers are very good. Any class you go to- whether you are a novice or an experienced yogi- will deliver a personal experience and a challenging series of asana. Ive never been to a studio that has so many great teachers!
I moved to Athens two years ago and was looking for a studio to practice yoga. I was so warmly welcomed at Five Points Yoga by all the instructors, this is the only place I take yoga classes.They are the best and offer a wide variety of classes!
Best yoga studio in town. All the teachers are amazing and encouraging. Highly recommend.
Full of kind people, who take the time to get to know you and are so welcoming. Offer many classes throughout the day with very knowledgeable instructors, in studio and online
Great Place. Wonderful classes offered various times and days convenient to everyone. Great teachers too!
I have enjoyed going to classes at Five Points Yoga for several years and have especially enjoyed the newly added 6 am Flow Yoga class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is a wonderful place to start your day, and the instructors are fantastic. I highly recommend Five Points Yoga studio!
Yoga for me means better physical and mental health. The instructors at Five Points Yoga are all exceptional and classes accommodate all levels. Personally, after every class I feel peaceful and grateful to have Five Points YogaIn my life.
Five Points Yoga is by far the best yoga studio I have ever been to. I tried to find a yoga studio in Atlanta that was as amazing while I was home for the summer and I couldnt find one that even came close to this studio. All of the instructors bring outstanding energy to each practice and thanks to them I have fallen in love with yoga.
Welcoming, conveniently located space with a variety of classes available. Whether your goals involve fitness, relaxation, meditation or connection, you will find it all here. Would recommend to anyone seeking a yoga studio in Athens. They have modified their offerings very well to deal with COVID restrictions, including numerous streaming classes as well as an online library for members.
I have been going to classes at 5 Points Yoga almost since it first opened. I highly recommend them. They offer a variety of different classes. I really like Chet Thomas Iyengar yoga classes, but they have many other styles and can accommodate beginners and veterans alike.
I am so grateful to have found Five Points Yoga. The instructors are not only practiced and kind, they also have a strong understanding of the body and can explain the mechanics of each posture. I have never felt anything other than supported, encouraged, and empowered to adapt class as needed for my body.
Five Points Yoga offers an array of classes for every yogi. The instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, and compassionate. The MindBody app makes it easy to view the schedule and sign up for classes. With a central location, this studio is not to be missed!
Five Points Yoga changed my life. I came to the studio as a fledgling beginner and the folks at this studio welcomed me with open arms. There was no judgement and no expectations. The owners, Debi and Shannon, are both inspiring BadassBossBitches who change the world daily by just existing. All of the teachers are incredible in their own way and offer so much in class to students. The classes are the perfect balance between intrinsic spirituality focus and the active moving practice. If youre on the fence about going to this studio, JUST GO -- you wont regret it.
Went in very inexperienced at yoga and they were patient and welcoming with the 101 class and then beyond. challenging classes (in a good way). Cannot recommend enough. Awesome instructors
Five Points Yoga offers a safe space and warm community that facilitate true personal and physical growth. All of the instructors at 5-points Yoga are kind, competent and professional. Namaste !
Nurturing, caring and welcoming space. I have been going on and off for years (life gets crazy sometimes) and I have never felt like a stranger, even after months away. The teachers are terrific! I’m so glad to have this as my peaceful oasis in Athens.
I was new to town and looking to get back into yoga after being some years out of practice. I signed up online and walked into the studio the next day for my first class. The instructor and my classmates could not be more welcoming. My next class was even better. Highly recommended.
A truly wonderful yoga community, and the owner is the best part!
Ive tried yoga off and on multiple times, in multiple states and this studio is by far the absolute best. Everyone is friendly and the vibes are cleansing as soon as you hit the door. For the first time in my life, I have embraced yoga!
I’ve been coming to this studio for 1.5 years. I love the close family feeling I get here. I’m comfortable practicing there around all different levels. I even decided to take the year long teacher training to help advance my own home practice. It’s been a very rewarding journey so far!
Such a great experience. A non-judgmental atmosphere for those who are learning like me, with modifications and options on the poses that may be a little too advanced at first. Calm, supportive vibes, and it is conveniently located for UGA students and Athens residents. So excited to go back for another class!
Love this studio! I took my teacher training here in 2014 and have been a regular ever since! It’s like a big family (one you’d choose😜). There are classes for every level and style you’d prefer and the friends I’ve met here are the best! Check it out!
I have been a member of 5 Points Yoga since 2013, and I love it! Focuses on the physical benefits without pushing the spiritual. STRONGLY encourage new yogis to give them a try!
The slow flow class with Maura is awesome!
Love the variety offered at Five Points. Debi and ShannonS classes have been favorites of mine for years. I also love Micheles Tuesday class...My favorite place to practice in Athens...
The beautiful practice space, warm community, and a supportive approach to teaching yoga all characterize this special studio. Come to a class and see for yourself!
Five Points is incredible! Started going for their teacher training and everything is on point! Anne and Shannon both know their craft and I love coming to Five Points!
The teachers at Five Points Yoga are world class! They will have you trying moves youve never seen before! You will become a human pretzel. For realz!
All are welcome in this friendly studio. Beginners will particularly appreciate the wonderful Iyengar classes offered at the studio that give a thorough and patient introduction to doing the poses correctly.
Athens Five Points Yoga has a very calm and welcoming atmosphere. I enjoy every visit and leave feeling recharged.
Excellent yoga studio! It is approachable and welcoming for all levels of practice with a great community atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
Great, experienced teachers and classes for all levels and different styles of yoga. I greatly deepened my yoga practice here.
Great place! Brenda’s stretch class is so much fun!

Five Points Yoga is a great, locally owned business that leaves you feeling recharged and energized to take on your day.
I have learned so much from and with Anne and Shannon being enrolled in their 200hr teaching training. It has been an invaluable experience!
Five Points is a wonderful yoga studio full of beautiful people and is a place where I find calm.

2022-05-20Five Points Yoga is a wonderful community. I felt welcomed and accepted the minute I walked in the door. Ive now been a member for almost 2 months and have experienced many different classes with at least 5 different instructors. Its impossible to pick a favorite. They all have exceeded my expectations in every way - excellent instruction, delivered from a place of strong experience and loving-kindness. The availability of live-streaming for most classes is a great service. I highly recommend Five Points Yoga.

2022-04-27I love Five Points Yoga and have been going for a few years now. I love the variety of instructors and how welcome I feel in class or around the studio. They are such knowledgeable professionals yet light at heart and non judgemental, kind and loving. Plus the yoga teacher training does NOT cut corners; you get the full deal!!

2022-06-01I visited 5 Points Yoga for the first time last weekend, and I LOVED it. I haven’t taken a yoga class in years, but I felt totally comfortable and at ease. I walked away feeling the best that I’ve felt in a really long time - mentally and physically. Lindsey is incredible and really made my time there so comfortable. I’ll be back, because I realized that it’s exactly what I needed in my life. 💕

2022-04-08I started attending classes at Five Points Yoga years ago when Id visit family in the neighbourhood.During CoViD lockdown, I discovered their online classes and now benefit from the convenience of being able to take my practice ANYWHERE.The instructors are knowledgeable, dedicated and just outright fun.Every session is serious yoga instruction with a warm friendly southern spin. Highly recommended. You will not feel regret.

2022-04-19I had a wonderful first experience at the studio today! Everyone was so personable and helpful on my first day. The people that were taking the class were inviting as well. I enjoyed the flow and it really made more morning brighter. I would definitely recommend this studio.

2022-04-20Enjoyed stopping in a Slow Flow class while in Athens for a week. Shannon is great and everyone was welcoming. Im a bit of a beginner, but there were plenty of options to adjust if things got too hard. Thanks for having me - a nice way to start the work day.

2022-05-28I have just completed 3 months Yoga Stretching classes. Over the past decade, I had taken yoga classes off and on and this year, I made a commitment to attend at least 4xweek. I can say that I am feeling so much more agility and am looking to the next step in the Fall when I start taking Iyengar Yoga classes. Naturally, it helps as I can walk to the studio but what makes is special are superb practioners and teachers like Brenda who keep an eye on you to make sure you are doing it right, Ann who tries to stretch us beyond our comfort and Caroline whose relaxation class is gentle but contain some strategic stretches to prepare one for Shuvasna. Best of all, after 3 months, I now have a new community of friends with who I can share time every week.

2022-05-20Love my experience at Five Points Yoga. Friendly and helpful. Chet is great. Great at helping solve issues with each person. This has helped me with a hip issue that would not go away. It is not easy but it works.
