The studio is celebrating its 5 year anniversary. It's a one room studio so if you get there too…read moreearly or late the door is locked. I thought the classes were pricey for the area at $16 a class, but they do offer pay what you can community classes. According to their website they designed their studio environmentally green including using only "non-petroleum soy candles". Music is played during class which is nice. The studio has high ceilings and tall windows, but really only comfortably fits about 15 people practicing at once, but they can squeeze in 45 or so with mats 3 inches apart from each other. They have a store in the front with lots of books, dvds, and clothing. With a name like Blue Lotus I was expecting to see a blue wall somewhere or a lotus candle, something that plays on their name in the decor, but I think they were going for a white space with minimal decor. The students that come here are all very friendly and chat with each other.

Carrington destroyed me. In a total good way :) Her class was packed and the vibe was good. I…read moreattempted a lot of poses that I'd never tried before. And now my muscles are making sure I'm acutely aware of those poses. Carrington wasn't afraid to adjust pretty much everyone in her class, and I have to admit her adjustments were just about perfect. The studio is off the beaten path, and parking was sparse. There is only one bathroom and no other changing area, so get there early if you need to change. But the space is perfect for yoga. Not pretentious, but still clean, spacious, and inviting. Definitely check out Blue Lotus, and I highly recommend Carrington's class, especially if you have a decent practice or just want your butt kicked. Your muscles may hate you the next couple of days, but you'll be proud of yourself after that :)

I've just recently started taking classes at Pulse, and I'm loving it. The classes are really…read moreenjoyable, but you will put in work! The instructors, and the atmosphere they foster are the very best part. They are so kind and welcoming to new students. I've taken classes with 3 different instructors, thus far, and this has been true of every class. The other participants absolutely echo this. I'm so happy I've found Pulse, and have already signed up for my next 3 classes.

This was my first time working out in a very long time and she was really good about letting me take it at my own pace and listening to my body and what it would allow me to do. The parking lot is small but street parking is available. The studio was very zen and I enjoyed being able to exercise while looking out at the beautiful weather and trees through the windows. They have everything you need to do barre. You just need to bring yourself, a water bottle and grippy socks and you're good to go. I'd definitely check this place out again.

The class was dynamic, the music was fun, and the other participants were super encouraging!
