Sacred Thread Yoga

This studio is awesome. Annelise’s classes are a great balance between the physical and the mental aspects of practice. The space is beautiful, the music is always fun; I will miss this place now that I’m no longer in Atlanta.

I really like Sacred Thread. They don’t overpack their classes with students, and they offer a variety of gentle yoga options — beginners, yin, and restorative classes are all regularly on the schedule. The students and instructors alike are laidback and welcoming, and they match the mellow vibe of the studio itself.
They have tons of free parking, but make sure you give yourself a few extra minutes to buzz in at the call box (002 is the code). What I don’t love about Sacred Thread is that Ralph Ellis is increasingly busy with traffic, meaning that your yoga class will be regularly punctuated with screeching brakes, honking horns, and sirens of all kinds. Sacred Thread can’t really control that, but it is the main thing holding this back from a perfect five star.

I love this place. It is wonderful, peaceful and professional. The space is naturally lit and every teacher I’ve had has been fantastic!
Thanks Sacred Thread!

I went to Annalise’s behinner’s class, because I really am a beginner — I’ve attended a handful of classes elsewhere, never with any frequency, and I’ve done a handful of videos at home. She was wonderful. Great verbal instructions so I rarely had to look up to see what I should be doing, and she alternated between demonstrating the poses and walking around the room helping the students correct their posture and breathing. The studio is clean, simple, and beautiful; the staff was welcoming and friendly; and it was a great mix of students in the class, so I didn’t feel like the only beginner in a class full of experts. I attended through Classpass but will definitely be back and highly recommend it.

Recently, because of class pass, I took up practicing yoga. Even though I am a rank beginner, I have now practiced at many studios throughout the city. I have experienced many instructors and many different styles. Of course each location has its own personality and I tend to like the deluxe feel of places like Exhale at the Lowes hotel. However, Friday at this studio, I enjoyed the best yoga experience yet. I have a broken toe and as I mentioned I am a beginner. Elizabeth had a pace and a style and a knowledge and presence that was just extraordinary. I do not like overly slow or very easy sessions, I like a challenge and I like to work hard. I also don’t like it when a teacher makes me feel stupid or too old or just plain silly. This studio and the teacher were just about perfect, the spirituality and the message and the workout– lovely. I’ll tell my friends.

Bottom line: Sacred Thread was absolutely wonderful. If I could give 10 stars I would.
I attended Friday Sunrise Flow (6:30a) with Lizzie. Lizzie is an amazing human, and EXACTLY the kind of person you want to be guiding through the deep stretches, flows, and meditative and grounding aspects of yoga. She was so kind and helpful to the ranging skill levels of this small and intimate class. Not only was she helpful on a technical level, but on a spiritual level as well.
One of my favorite aspects of yoga is the internal grounding and appreciation. Throughout the class, along with her technical help, she reminded us of the true reason why we were there. Enjoying and appreciating our bodies and selves. Rooting to the Earth and to each other in the class. During the last stage of the class in the Shavasana, I started (happily) tearing up of how appreciative I was of the experience. It was truly the yoga class I’ve been searching for.
Aside from Lizzie, the studio is beautiful, quiet, and calming. Lofted ceilings and nice wood floors allowed me to open up and concentrate on my inner light rather than outside distraction. Parking is easy too. Then again, this might be because we arrived before the sun came up. But for the early classes, it was a breeze.
If you’re looking to experience a reflective, deep stretch-​y, and somewhat challenging (there were options for inversions!), this is absolutely the class you need.
Namaste.

I’ve been to 4 or 5 classes in the studio so far, and one Wrecking Bar event, and I feel like I can safely say that Sacred Thread is No Joke.
I’ve practiced yoga on and off for a few years, but I’m rusty, so I’ve attended at least 2 beginners classes. Annaliese is fantastic at walking the class through each movement. I’ve had beginners classes before where the instructor just goes through the motions — down dog, warrior 2, triangle — and the class just sort of mimics each pose. Annaliese isn’t afraid to mix it up while also spending time really explaining where each muscle in the posture should be. Very helpful.
I’ve also been to an all levels class or two. So hard! But in a great way. And again, the instructors will take the time to guide the class gently through a complicated posture, like a headstand or crow.
I’m excited to keep going — even considering taking the 21 day challenge this month!

I just moved to Atlanta and moved down the street from this studio so I decided to check it out. Everyone at the studio is very friendly!
I’ve taken the Vinyasa class several times with 2 different instructors and they were both wonderful. They’re very helpful and the atmosphere is soothing.
Can’t wait to continuing coming here!

I used to live down the road from Sacred Thread and purchased a Groupon for a month of unlimited classes. Fast forward 8 months… I moved to Grant Park and my Groupon was on the verge of expiring. I bit the bullet and activated my classes.
I love each class more and more. At first I thought it was weird not having mirrors in the studio, but then I realized I was focusing more on my practice instead of looking in the mirror trying to compete with other yogi’s. I was getting SO much more out of practice than I ever had before.
Classes are challenging for me and I feel like I learn something new each class. Now that I’m done with my unlimited month, I’m still taking classes. The atmosphere is amazing. The teachers are wonderful. Do yourself a favor and try a class at Sacred Thread Yoga.

So, I’ve only taken a few yoga classes in my life. Mostly at the gym, one or two at a studio. So I have no idea what I’m doing. I found this place on scoutmob and decided to try it out. Im so glad I did. I’m a hairdresser and stand on my feet all day. Also I have a 60+lb puppy at home. So life is hectic and my body was like «hey! I need some attention!!» So I finally listened! Best decision! My first class was the sweat class and it was awesome. Sure there were things I couldn’t do, but the teacher was fantastic and helped me modify a few things and I never felt bad or inexperienced, and to top it off, I even surprised myself with some things! I’m going back friday and I’m hooked. Got up this morning on my own and looked up some simple morning moves to keep this going until my next class!!! Thanks guys for making me feel welcome and secure. :) Namaste

I left behind my prior yoga studio, which was a bit closer to my house, for Sacred Thread, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision!
I bought a 3-​class pass on ScoutMob after hearing good things from my friends. I knocked out all three of those classes and plan to buy more.
Each of those classes was fantastic. The instructors were great (I tried three different ones). I loved the unusual flows, the gentle guidance, and the sweet tunes. I left the studio feeling super refreshed and ready to take on the rest of my day. All in all, it’s been great.
I love the feeling of this studio. It has large open windows, and a clean feel. It’s just so wonderful. A very peaceful place to enter after a long day at work.
The check-​in process is also very efficient. They keep tabs on you much better than my priorr studio and tell you how many classes you have left at the end of each class.
Plus, only Sundays, they run some special deals, including a $ 5 class.
I finally found my yoga studio home in ATL. And it feels g-​r-​e-​a-​t.
Also, there’s sometimes fruit after class. That helps to build a cool sense of community I really haven’t had in any other studio.
Also also, they have bike parking right by the door, and it’s super Beltline accessible. Yay!

Sacred Thread is within walking distance from my house, so I was thrilled to find that they had an offer on Scoutmob. I purchased three classes for $ 13, which was a great deal as Yoga classes are usually more than $ 13 for just one class.
So far, I have been to the studio twice as well as participated in a cool event that they offer monthly at Wrecking Bar Brewpub– Yoga on Tap. I have had a different instructor for each class and they have all been stellar. The studio is smaller than some places I have been, but so far I have always been able to get into my classes. I believe you can also pre-​register for classes online to ensure you get a spot.
I have one more class left in my «3 pack» but I will definitely be returning to this studio in the future. Check out their website for class times and class descriptions.

God I need to come back to this studio. I really enjoyed class here, the location just sucks to get to. The actual space is fantastic and the instructors were carefully selected; they are all very good.

I’d always been curious about this space as I’d jog past it on the Belt Line. Imagine my excitement when boyfriend told me we were going to yoga and we pulled up here. Joy!
I informed the instructor, Jocelyn, that I have a herniated disc. She was very informative and careful about how I should proceed through class. Her instruction was noncompetitive and calming. She made sure to give alternative moves for the injured and less flexible, alike. I left her class as if on a cloud. No pain, much gain. I can’t wait to return!

Sacred Thread has hired terrific teachers who are committed to creating a consistent yoga experience with compassion and care. It is worth the drive to attend one of the wonderful weekend workshops or classes. Getting there at rush hour can be difficult at times, but worth it! Prices are reasonable and I strongly suggest signing up for one of their packages.

great teachers and a great space! check it out–
