Owner

Colleen McHenry

Owner · lead teacher · doctorate in business · owner since 2019

Colleen purchased this loft in 2019. Doctorate in business, twenty-plus years on the mat. She still teaches the early room, the hammocks, Chicken Yoga at Hotel Haya, and the 200-hour training. The studio is hers. The faculty is hers. That is the point of a small loft.

Chicken Yoga at Hotel Haya.

Sunday, September 13, 2026 · 10:00 AM · $20 · 18+. Rescue hens from Ybor Misfits Microsanctuary. Tickets on Eventbrite — that confirmation is the ticket.

Candlelight yoga class at Yoga Loft Tampa, Ybor City

Small studio, real teachers, no gym-chain feeling. I started on the $49 intro and stayed.

Aerial here is the real thing — eight hammocks, not a gimmick class. Colleen actually teaches.

James R. · Google

Yin at night is the reason I keep coming back. The room is quiet. Nobody is performing.

Priya S. · Google

Chicken Yoga at Hotel Haya is as weird and kind as it sounds. Bought tickets, showed the confirmation, that was it.

Dana L. · Google

Park on 5th, walk in, they know your name by week two. That’s the loft.

Chris P. · Google

Best neighborhood studio in Tampa. 20 mats, not a packed room. I can actually hear the teacher.
