“I attended Shannon's class using ClassPass while passing through Charlottesville, and it was such a great experience! Shannon is incredibly friendly and welcoming—she even introduced me to her regulars in class. The warm Vinyasa session was really enjoyable, and her guidance and feedback were thoughtful and encouraging. Bonus: the merchandise is super cute! I’ve already signed up for another ClassPass class and can’t wait to go back.”

“I took Christine’s class this morning and it was incredible. As an instructor myself, I love to try new studios and learn from different instructors cues. Her class had an amazing unique flow, perfect tempo, great cues and hands on support, and the perfect mixture of relaxation and intensity. The new studio space is beautiful and fresh. Loved it all!!”

“The new(ish) studio on Ivy is spectacular! It is a serene place with a lovely sitting area to unwind after class. Shannon is a ray of sunshine and her staff (an army!!!) are uniquely talented. I love the deep blue color of the main studio with its brushed bronze touches. There are 2 nice bathrooms and a water cooler. Shannon has high quality merch and jewelry as well. I always leave walking on air.”

“Gorgeous studio, incredible teachers, beautiful community and phenomenal yoga. I have done yoga for almost 20 years and was in search for a new studio in the area - I was craving something different. Something with more depth but also that would challenge me. My first class at Salute the Sun I left sweaty, challenged and deeply nourished on a soul level. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned yogi Salute the Sun will bring you exactly what you need and then some ❤️”

“Salute the Sun is a beautiful yoga studio filled with even more beautiful humans! It’s easy to feel welcomed here with the gregarious teachers and positive atmosphere. I have thoroughly enjoyed every class I’ve taken— from vinyasa to yin. If you’re looking for a yoga home, this is it!”
