Welcome to Metta Yoga in Lexington, Kentucky

At the Metta Yoga Studio, you will
  • find a pleasant, enjoyable and relaxed setting for self discovery, exploration and growth through the practice of yoga.
  • be encouraged to discover the joy of creating, experiencing and enjoying your own personal yoga practice, as you become more flexible, balanced, healthy and strong in body, mind and spirit.
What Makes Metta Yoga Studio Special?
  • We explore poses in a unique fashion, using props such as blocks, bolsters, belts and chairs, enabling anyone to gain benefit from the practice of hatha yoga, regardless of age, ability and level of fitness.
  • Classes at Metta Yoga Studio are lead by Temple of Kriya Yoga certified and Yoga Alliance registered teachers who have received extensive instruction in the practices of hatha yoga, pranayama, and meditation, specializing in yoga as therapy, and the more gentle forms of hatha yoga, including chair yoga, deep stretch yin yoga, restorative yoga and yoga nidra.
  • The hatha yoga classes emphasize a balance between strength and flexibility, build endurance and develop self-awareness through precision in movement and attention to subtle aspects of posture and breath, releasing stress and tension throughout the body.


  • "The primary aim of yoga is to restore the mind to simplicity, peace, and poise, to free it from confusion and distress. This simplicity, this sense of order and calm, comes from the practice of postures and breath work."                                                       B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga

What is Metta?

Metta, from the ancient language of Pali, translates into English as loving kindness, generosity, fellowship, peace and harmony. Metta is a strong and unselfish wish for the well being and happiness of others, and evokes within a warm-hearted feeling of compassion and all-embracing love that grows boundless with practice and overcomes all barriers.

It is in this spirit that Metta Yoga Studio exists today as the outward expression of the devotion and passion we have for the practice of yoga, and the way in which it is our desire to bring this life-transforming practice to others.

May all be filled with loving kindness
May all be well
May all be compassionate
May all be peaceful and at ease
May all be happy
