I am a loyal follower of Ernesto and Maria for the aerial yoga and TRX classes. Clean studio with motivational teachers and easy to pay online for classes. I feel like the classes are small at times which is great, but I wish more students would come and see how great it is. The only drawback I have is almost all of the yoga classes are in the heated room. I wish there were more offered in the other room.

Your Body Center is awesome! I have been an on and off practicing yogi now for 3 years and this is one of my favorite places to practice. If you haven't tried hot yoga, I would suggest trying out a few classes at YBC. My favorite is Warm Flow with Amanda Field. She really wants her students to improve at their own speed/level. My favorite part of the class is when we spend about 15 minutes practicing harder variations (head stand, hand stand, shoulder stand, etc.). It is always a challenge and you will leave the class feeling like you've improved or accomplished something!

Your Body Center is awesome! The hot yoga class rocks - bring on the heat! The heat alone make their hot yoga class is an intense workout. The instructors are always supportive of everyone working at their own level which made the class feel comfortable when I was just starting out.listen to your body. Everyone here is friendly and their prices are reasonable.

As a complete beginner I felt very comfortable here. There are quite a few advanced people in each class, so they're inspiring, as are the instructors. I've taken lots of their classes including hot yoga, pilates, barre, Forrest Yoga and some others I can't remember. I pretty much just go when my schedule allows. I'm trying to get up the courage to try the aerial yoga, I've been assured there is a class more geared to beginners, but I may wait til I get a little stronger. I feel a positive energy and I'm learning a lot and I've recommended YBC to lots of friends

I really love the yoga classes here. They are pretty laid back and great for any level. My favorite is the Hot Body Express with Nicole Harford. Hands down my favorite instructor! Her instructions are very clear and easy to follow. She always offers modifications for every skill level which I found very helpful as a beginner. I also really like that she will do adjustments to help improve your form.

I highly recommend checking her class out if you are thinking about trying hot yoga. The studio is overall very nice always clean and well stocked. There are rental towels, mats and drinks available. I really like that there are showers available to the students. Great studio check it out!

Keeping in mind that I am athletic, but not flexible in the slightest, I absolutely LOVED Ernesto's aerial yoga class! I went with a friend who told me I would be able to do it but I was still a little concerned. It ended up being the combination of yoga, TRX, and some aerial stretching, and it was so fun. It has been 2 full days since the class and my abs are still sore because Ernesto is so energetic that you want to try to do the hardest version of the moves. Needless to say, I will be returned as soon as I move to Houston!

Ernesto, the owner, is an incredible person with great energy. Coming to this studio makes me look forward to coming to Houston - I practice yoga here every time I am in Houston. Ernesto is a gifted massage therapist, and he has hired fabulous staff and yoga instructors. The yoga students at YBC are committed to this studio for good reason - it's fabulous. On Friday nights, after the 6:15 "your hot body" class, the studio offers great snacks. you will love this large, very clean studio with very positive energy.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone of any level! This is where I train to become a super fairy battling evil!;) Well, if I had to battle evil that is. But I do train, and hard! And imaging myself as a super fairy battling evil helps when Ernesto is barking out the routine during the intense but fun Pilates Ball classes;) I attend 4-6 Pilates and yoga classes a week.

I consider Pilates and yoga to be more as training for other sports, as well as to correct bad posture from working at a computer all day;) I also cycle, snowboard and hope to soon take up rock climbing :) I've attended YBC for many years. I've left and tried other studios occasionally, but I've always come back. Last year I finally got my monthly membership and love it!

Being able to attend as many classes as I want during the month has allowed me to try some classes that I normally wouldn't. And attending all the different kinds of classes with every instructor giving different tips in their teaching has REALLY helped my practice and has given me a really strong core. Why I like this place: - BIG studios. When a class is full, it's never matte to matte - A separate studio for hot classes.

When you are about to take a rather aerobic intense yoga or Pilates class, it's nice to not have the room at 100 degrees from the class before. - The number of classes- there are at least 2 classes a day I would be interested in doing. - A good variety of classes from traditional matte pilates, to a more aerobic fusion pilates classes in which we listen to club music!, to power house hot yoga, hot hatha, even a belly dancing class. - The instructors are great!

I've learned a little something different from each of them. Classes I cannot do with out are: - Talina's Pilates classes Monday and Friday Mornings (great for working basic form and strength) - Ernestos Ball Pilates classes: for the exercise addict in you! I don't know why, but when there's a ball involved it's just fun! Plus the dance music helps you get into it.

I feel the ball actually helps open my hips too. But I warn you, everyone the first time feels lost, so don't be discouraged! Eventually you'll be spacing out in class because you know the routine so well and Ernesto will call you out for not working as hard as he knows you can;) Other classes and instructors I love, but don't get to attend as much: - Le Walker, her Light Yoga class on Friday is a great follow up to Talinas Pilates. - Ananda Love's Hot Hatha, the routine always seems a little different and kinda bizarre from other yoga classes.

It seems simple at first but then you realize it's really challenging! It's actually a nice mix of challenging your strength, flexibility as well as challenging your ability to let go and relax. The class is a nice compliment to what I get from other instructors. And I've come to realize I really like Hot Hatha in general. - Forest Pettis, his yoga classes also can be a bit like Ananda's. Things seem simple and then as you are in the pose you realize "this is really challenging!" He incorporates a number of isometric style poses, which I find help correct a lot of posture issues for me. - Also a few other great instructors, that I find are just plain good in explaining the poses, and transitions, etc. Amanda Field, Sukaina Rajani, and Madeline Jackson.

I haven't tried all the classes nor instructors yet, but I aim too! Ooo! Other perks!: -2 showers, so you don't have to hit the Montrose Whole Foods all sweaty;) - Vending machine with healthy snacks like Coconut water Complimentary usage of yoga mattes during non-heated classes, and $1 rentals of mattes and towels for eth heated. (great when you forget to bring yours) - Ernesto usually puts out fresh fruit on the weekends, a great reward for getting out of bed on a Saturday morning to get your practice in :)

This yoga studio has everything to offer.beginner advance and intermediate. The yoga classes are welcoming to whatever your level of practice is. It is warm and friendly, the staff are all friendly. The yoga instructors are skilled and each bring their own creativity to the class. You will never be bored, because there is so much to chose from. Pilates is a great work out that will firm your core and whittle you waist in no time in a fast pace class taught by the owner Ernesto.

You will not be disappointed. I know I haven't been. If you want to dance it up, the studio also offers a cardio dance workout! A must try! Come check it out and see for yourself.the space has great energy and you will feel very comfortable the moment you step in the door. The studio has mats if you don't have one and the facility is clean and open. The hot studio has showers and towels. Come see for yourself.

I really love YBC. From the moment I walked in I felt at home with the friendly staff and the amazing facilities. I like that there are so many classes that it's hard for your body to get stuck in a plateau. There is always a new challenge and a different instructor to try. My favorite class is the 90 minute hot yoga class. It's both challenging and relaxing, which blows my mind.

I feel wonderful and rejuvenated after these classes. Ernesto's ball pilates class is an excellent companion class to yoga. It's fast paced and challenging. It's great for tight, tone, defined muscles. I would recommend Your Body Center to anyone looking to jump start their workout routine and develop a good daily practice.
