I give the instructors five stars, each of the regular ones are wonderful. Each instructor brings something unique to the practice. And, there seems to be a teacher/level for any interest/ability. Seriously, each of the regular teachers, seem to love what they do, are passionate about it, and it carries into their class, for a wonderful and thoughtful practice.
However, the studio itself leaves a lot to be desired. It is small and some classes are too crowded. (It is hard to stretch and do poses, when you are hitting the person next to you, or kicking the person behind you). The studio is in a tired old strip mall, that is literally-littered with trash... and the parking is tight. The studio is dark, with low ceilings and no air circulation....with the classes being at 85 degrees, it can be quite stifling and hard to breathe, (especially when the ceiling fans are not turned on). There is only one room and it is NOT cleaned between classes, so it is not uncommmon to slip on someone else's sweat from the previous class. This doesn't seem very sanitary to me. Likewise, when the blankets are used, they are returned to the shelves for the next class.... when are those things ever laundered?
Unfortunately, it is not an inviting space...and, were it not for the excellent teachers, I would seek out a different place to practice.
I would suggest to the proprietors of this business, to invest in the physical building a bit more, make it a more inviting space, maybe a better location....maybe a wall of windows that would open to the outside...higher ceilings and definitely some type of ventilation system....as well as a more thorough cleaning of the space and equipment.
