Shakti changed my life! Going to college is hard, especially going to a big school where finding community doesn’t always come naturally. I started going to Shakti on a whim- I was just expecting a good workout. I’ve now been practicing yoga at Shakti for two semesters. Whether it’s walking in the door and being greeted with a smile, or that the instructors know almost everyone by a first name basis, Shakti has become a safe place for me to share my practice.

i love this place and i especially love Ruby Chandler, the owner. She's in the work which is not something I can say of all yoga studios and yoga teachers. She's created a culture of growth within her studio and I'm so lucky that I get to be part of that - to be led by her and to work alongside her in the work is an honor. This space is open, warm, and here for your feedback. Thank you Shakti Yoga Athens for being amazing. More...

Absolutely loved the classes! I didn't feel really comfortable in Athens until I came to this yoga spot. There is so much great energy and positive people! I felt welcomed the moment I stepped in and was apart of the family. Great place for a loving community and sweat! lol More...

Shakti Power Yoga is a place and space where you can breath, rest, practice, and grow strong. Whether you're local or from out of town, you will feel the warmth and love of this studio from the moment you walk in! The teachers and staff have created an environment where everyone can thrive- from your first session to many years of practicing. This yoga studio has been my home for over a year and I can attribute much growth of heart, mind, and body to this place, this practice, and these people. Thanks so much to Shakti for giving me a home for my heart. More...

I was pleasantly surprised by the class even though the space was tight. The teaching was smooth and most importantly genuine. I loved the cold towel treat at the end as it felt like a reward for showing up, letting it go, and working through a tough series. This is a great studio to check out if you are in from out of town.

I visited Shakti for the first time last night for Ashtanga Yoga and guided meditation afterwards. I may had never stepped through the door unless it was for meeting Ruby when I was running by one day. Her love and positivity are infectious, and the Yoga studio is no different. Even the students were coming up to me and asking me my name, I felt very welcomed right away. Annie, the teacher for Ashtanga, knew her stuff, and even though it is not my favorite kind of Yoga to engage in, she reminded me that every experience in your Yoga practice is an opportunity to go within yourself, and to honor that time. Taylor was the teacher for guided meditation. I am a regular meditator, and I enjoy the quiet time to just be. For whatever reason, I got the giggles during the meditation, and I just want to thank Taylor for being so understanding and gracious, she handled it like a pro and even smiled along with me I think. At then end, I felt expanded and my vibration and mood were up. I recommend this place to anyone wanting a large variety of yoga classes, a loving community, and solid teachers. Thanks Shakti crew, Ruby, Janet, Annie, and Taylor. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
At Shakti we resonate with Baptiste Power Yoga as it is an intuitive practice, one that does not enforce any set of absolute rules. Students get all the benefits of traditional methods of yoga while still leaving room for creativity and play.
It is the mission of Baptiste Power Yoga (and Shakti Athens) to make yoga accessible to anyone, from any background, looking for total physical, mental and emotional transformation. It is for everybody, no matter what level of fitness. It is purposefully challenging and active so that it can catapult students from wherever they are right now to whole new thresholds of physical and mental power.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
One thing we already do at Shakti: we never promise you anything about your body. This has always been non-negotiable. Shakti was founded on the belief that yoga, movement, and investing in yourself should never be about needing to lose weight or fix ‘flaws.’ We don’t do core work to have abs, and we don’t sweat to lose weight. We believe your body deserves to be cared for. We think it’s more important to take care of yourself by modifying and making a pose work for you than what a pose looks like. We believe in full-self integration, which means our bodies are not separate from our minds, hearts, emotions or spirit. We believe that your intuition is your superpower, not whether or not your thighs gap. Bodies deserve to be celebrated.
What do you love most about your job?
Shakti is a space to show up as you are, be received, and seen. This space is so special because our students honor their time on the mat, laughing, dancing, and moving their bodies in a way that feels amazing and is intuitive.
Why should our clients choose you?
At Shakti, you will be seen and heard. This is a space to get messy, listen for what you need, and step into discomfort in order to grow. We're here to support, just ask!
Our intention is to empower you (give you the tangible tools, access to resources, equitable opportunities, and a space to show up, so that you can step into your rightful power as a human being and become your own best teacher), our community, to harness and manifest SHAKTI from within.
