Kodawari Studios - Tampa, Florida

Alyssa Young

I cannot say enough incredible things about Kodawari and their wonderful practitioners! From the contrast therapy of sauna & cold plunge with worked-in breath work and meditation, to gratitude practices, it is the perfect way to start my day, or end my day. Thank you Kodawari for allowing me to “come home before I go home” ?

This is my happy place… From the staff, to the yoga and breath work instructors, the sauna leads, and even the owner, everyone makes you feel like part of a special community. When there are setbacks, as there always are in life, they do everything possible to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. Kodawari truly cares and I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing community ?

I’ve been taking Annette’s classes on/ off for the past 6 years. Words fall short in describing the deep gratitude I have for Annette in her pursuing this path & her practice. I am moved & inspired by her and the beautiful people at Kodawari in ways that I’ve never experienced at other studios or month-long yoga immersions.

Annette inspires you to embrace every juicy part of you, teaches you to hold reverence for change (in seasons & emotions) and empowers you to be a revolutionary in a chaotic world by cultivating an inner garden of compassion & kindness.

There’s layers to Annette’s teaching. Allow it to ravish you—accept what is offered, trust & receive her guidance, and courageously integrate all that rises up. Lean in. There’s a method to the madness? For me, it blazes a new pathway for deeper levels of radical authenticity wrapped in love. I’m forever grateful for your teachings over these years Annette—you’ve planted a seed in my heart to show up in my practice & life in new ways.

I’m moving to the mountains & continuing my practice in Denver in this next chapter. Annette’s teachings lives on with me, and I bring it forward in every step I take. I’ll tune back in to this gem of a studio whenever I get the chance. Forever in deep gratitude for you all & this beautiful community that became rooted in Kodawari. Namaste?

Blaze teaches my yoga class at Life Time Monday and Wednesday at 12:45, 2.5 weeks ago he invited me to his hot sauna + cold plunge class at Kodawari. I have been coming every day since my first class and sometimes twice a day, my life has taken the most positive turn in my entire life, I am sleeping through the night, my mental clarity is on premium point, my muscle recovery is better than it’s ever been, I have no more road rage; just to name a few benefits. I owe it all to my brother Blaze, the truly amazing Kodawari staff, and the Kodawari family of members. Thank you all for accepting me into your family. You all are now a part of my family. Love you all.

Wow! I live in NYC but I was born and raised here in Tampa. Started doing yoga everyday in August and had to find a spot in Tampa for when I'm here for holidays. I do not regret coming here! I sauna and Coldplunge everyday at Equinox in NYC and Kodawari does not skip a beat! Monica is such a beautiful human when I took her Sauna and Plunge class! Annette is a STAR!!!! Took her power yoga 2xs already. Wow very inspiring, hilarious and pushes us! She does not play around when class starts! Love it! Highly recommend! 6 stahs ?

I took a few classes as a traveling yogi 3 years ago and I wanted to come back after moving here to Tampa. I took Annette's class, which was quite challenging, but her instruction was clear and easily understood! "Kodawari" means "perfection" in Japanese and this studio lives up to its name. It offers a Nordic sauna, cold plunge, salt bath, massage, acupuncture and more. This is the BEST studio I have ever been to and will definitely be back!

This review is a long time coming! I found my practice and love for breathwork, yoga and nordic sauna here. Amazing instructors, loving community and just warmth here overall. This has become my second home and I have been coming for over a year. Hot power and sauna with Annette (an absolute firecracker of a founder that will change your life), buti with Bradley and Brielle, and vinyasa with Anastasia are all classes I would recommend but any class you take here will fill your cup.

I am most and eternally grateful for Agathe introducing me to breathwork- a meditation like practice that has changed my life that I can incorporate into my day to day, sauna and yoga too. I have released and worked through so many deeply stored emotions through this practice. I would highly recommend this class to anyone curious as to what is within. Love and gratitude to everyone here, namaste❤️ (Shout out to ? )

I did the sauna-cold plunge class, and it was my first time ever doing one. The leader was so nice, and walked me through everything. Every detail of the class and facility was very well thought out. The other people in the class were also so friendly. Will come again.
