Yoga perfection!
Time is our most valuable resource. For the following reasons this studio will be a regular part of my life:
* Top notch instruction - After several classes and a wide variety of teachers this has consistently been the best team I've encountered.
* Extremely friendly staff - At a level that can only be achieved when its sincere.
* Constant variety at high quality - Every class has been challenging (at any level of proficiency). Each teacher has their own style and no two classes, even with the same teacher, have been alike.
* Culture of acceptance - Beginners are warmly welcomed by seasoned yogis. No peer pressure.
* Safety - Individual performance is stressed and there is a consistent message to listen to your own body and to respond with rest or modification as you see fit.
* Excellent cueing - Poses and flows are queued very well for proper expression, safety, and effectiveness. Fuller expression is cued as an option or modification when appropriate. Counter poses are cued or added to the flow as appropriate.
* Immaculately clean - Hot yoga makes for a good deal of sweating and this space has been superbly constructed to this purpose. The staff does a wonderful job cleaning the studio and locker rooms. The spaces are designed with surfaces that clean well and the staff keeps them spotless. Rental mats are extensively cleaned (if I linger after class I catch the teachers doing this very thoroughly).
* Cold lavender towels after class - After each class, during your savasana, they deliver a refrigerated hand towel with a hint lavender essential oil directly to your hand. Explaining how good this feels defies words. It's a miracle in towel form.
* Great value - Can you buy an unlimited month of yoga here with a mat included for the same price as a night out on the town - absolutely, yes!
I don't recommend IF... you want to just do the same Ashtanga practice over and over and over ...
