Really nice studio. From the 4 classes I took, seems to be a primarily vinyasa studio, however I noticed prenatal classes as well. The first class I took was with Jackie I believe - playful flow. She was awesome- I saw her adjust and offer modifications. I would have like an adjustment but maybe I didn't need one:) she did adjust me in shavasana. About 9 people in class as well. Lovely music, non- heated (thank god- it seems like all the other studios I read about in Santa Cruz were heated), ambient music, great long shavasana.
The second class the teacher was ok. I may have read the schedule wrong I thought it was a 90 minute class. Class ended in 60 minutes and began a few minutes late. There were only 2 of us.
The third class I took as an Align and Shine class. Fantastic class. Good music, fairly large group, but not overcrowded. Again the teacher was great about suggesting modifications, but I received zero adjustments:( overall great class. Lots of intelligent conversation about making the practice work for you. Good long shavasana.
The fourth class I took was a founders class (that's what the woman working the front desk suggested I take), taught by the owner. She was great. We did so qi gong like exercises with pranayama, I loved that. Then some vinyasa stuff. She offered some props for me when she saw my wrists were hurting. Great class. I did notice she gave quite a bit of attention to the same people. I think they were teacher trainees.
The studio had hot tea, filtered water, and childcare.
New student special was $30 for 2 weeks. I wish I could have stayed in Santa Cruz longer to take classes with the other teachers. I feel like I struck gold with this studio.
