From the reviews
I am beyond grateful to have found Inner Space yoga studio, after trying a few other studios I finally found my home. Laura’s teaching is healing to my soul. She offers a great variety of in studio classes and an extensive online library of options that you can do from home that change monthly.
I have been taking classes at Inner Space for two years. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy...it’s warm, welcoming, and radiates peace. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, and it really feels like a sacred place to move, breathe, and reconnect. The classes are amazing.
Going to Inner Space Yoga has literally changed my life -- I've been a regular since 2014. Laura and her instructors provide a wonderful, safe and deeply spiritual place that allows people to use yoga as a vehicle for transformation, intention and personal power.
I was in town visiting KC for the first time and noticed this place was nearby my Airbnb. I took the Sunday yoga fundamentals and also the morning tonic class, and both classes were phenomenal! A welcoming, thoughtful community. Both teachers were fantastic - kind, genuine and knowledgeable practitioners.
New to tai chi? Start at Inner Space Yoga
Inner Space Yoga comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Inner Space Yoga
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
