My husband and I have been doing Pilates and yoga for 15 years in Los Angeles. We have been in…read moreParis for 6 weeks and have been attending yoga classes w/Letitia and private Pilates sessions w/Isabel and Dominic. They communicate in English as our French is insufficient. We have attended the 7:30 and 8 am yoga class which have not had more than 3 people in it -apparently the French are not early morning practitioners. The class is labeled ashtanga. Letitia is gentle and provides individualized adjustments. The class is gentle but provides a full body work out. Her chanting is beautiful and worth the class by itself. The Pilates/feldenkrais/Franklin body work has been excellent. Isabel and Dominic are excellent at observing your body and providing specific instructions tailored to you to improve the efficacy of your practice, strengthening your particular areas of weakness. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in strengthening their body with efficient safe instruction. The facility is clean, pleasant and filled with a lot of toys used for various types of body work. The reformers in Pilates room have also just been upgraded. There is also a new Cadillac. Other classes also look cool but we are only here for six weeks so have to make time for culture and restaurants too!

Beyoncé class is a little too easy. If you have no dance experience I'd recommend that. The…read moreinstructor focused a lot more on certain students and barely gave me any criticism, which I understood because I had prior dance experience, but it just felt like a waste of time because I was there to learn and I wasn't learning. Staff is nice. Would go again but take a different class.
