Ybor Restore Yoga & More

Beautiful space .. you can feel the energy as soon as you walk in. Justin held an amazing class.. probably one of the best yoga classes I’ve gone to. And the wall yoga (wow) the stretching was everything!

Ybor Restore Yoga & More is a Tampa gem، so aptly named for RESTORING the body and offering MORE than many traditional yoga classes. While I appreciate many forms of yoga، I particularly enjoy the Fascia Release Yoga classes offered at this studio. With the unique yoga wall and a multitude of available straps and props، we are able to surrender into deeper poses and incorporate traction for lengthening. Justin has an impressive depth of knowledge of body mechanics from his experience in physical therapy، massage and yoga. He instinctively knows how to get us into a variety of positions safely and make modifications to maximize benefit. No two classes are the same except for the fluid feeling I achieve after attending his classes. I also appreciate the facial release exercises we do all over our bodies to allow more release and mobility، a critical practice for vitality and movement which can often be neglected. As someone who always seems to feel generalized soreness or tightness from daily living and playing tennis، I really need this class! Everyone can benefit from this practice. To me، shavasana is the dessert at the end a great yoga class. Justin offers his students a generous amount of time to chill and has been incorporating a variety of healing sounds from chimes، bowls، gongs and handpan. When I travel، I am always searching for a yoga class but honestly this place is so special، I am thankful to have this studio so close to home. It’s a treat for the body، mind and soul. Thank you.

I took advantage of the 30-day unlimited package for new customers. At the time of this review، I am about a day away from the end of the 30 days. I would definitely continue to attend classes here! I have been practicing yoga for about 5 years now، and recently moved to Tampa. This place was pretty close to my new home، so I decided to try it out. So far I have taken classes with Justin and Dale - both are amazing teachers that are genuinely concerned in making sure you have the right posture and that you are practicing yoga safely. Classes have ranged from relaxing and restoring to reasonably challenging and heat-generating. There are also a good amount of evening and weekend classes that are ideal for those with an M-F 9-5 work schedule like me. Justin also leads a queer yoga class every Friday evening، which is a welcoming environment for members of the queer community. It is for all levels، and Justin is very accommodating to newbies. The yoga wall is something I've never really experienced before. It is used as a way to support you in certain poses، and the teachers do ensure that you are using the wall safely. Overall، I would highly recommend getting the 30-day unlimited package so you can try this studio out، and hopefully، like me، you'll continue to come back after the trial period!

I’ve always been intrigued by the thought of a sound bath، since I saw Honda Kotbe attend one on the Today show. I was finally able to attend، and it was a day I truly needed clarity، calm، and a break from the noise of life. When I walked in، I felt at ease. Justin has an innate gift for what he does، his depth of knowledge and experience is immediately evident. He was able to help me quiet my mind through sound and an amazing vibrating mat. He had a wide array of instruments، which added to the richness and depth of the symphonic journey. It was the perfect mental vacation. As a single mom going through a difficult time، I was so grateful for the space، time، and expertise for this moment of pure self care. More people in Tampa need to know how special this place and Justin are!

Justin is exceptionally knowledgeable and welcoming. This was my first breath work class and it really helped me overcome stress and put me better in tune with my body. The sound bath at the end of class left me feeling renewed and revitalized، I would absolutely recommend you come in even if you’re a new student like myself!
