5 Stars for a unique yoga studio run collectively by teachers who volunteer their services to create a special community of yogis!
I was so excited to hear that Firefly Yoga would be coming back to Downtown Orlando. They used to have a studio next to The Sanctum, then opened their second studio in Ocoee, and eventually focussed solely on the Ocoee studio for a few years.
When I heard they were returning, I was blown away by their new model. A passionate group of yoga instructors banded together to create The Collective, where they volunteer to teach classes. With this model, the money they collect goes straight to rental of the space (and tea, if they ever make more than they need to keep the studio open). This means that the prices are some of the lowest in Orlando.
The drop-in rate is $8 (WUT.) and unlimited yoga is $60/month (will increase to $70/month for new members starting in June '19). This is absurdly low and only makes sense because this is less of a business and more of a passion project to bring Firefly back to Orlando.
Right now, the schedule is as follows (taken from their website):
MONDAY 10am all-levels Flow | 7pm all-levels Flow
TUESDAY 6am Power | 6:30pm find a Firefly teacher at East End Market for an all-levels flow class that is donation-based
WEDNESDAY 12pm all-levels Flow | 6:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired | 7:45pm YIN
THURSDAY 5:30-7:30am Open Practice* | 4:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired | 6:30pm Ashtanga-Inspired
FRIDAY 6:30pm all-levels Flow
SATURDAY 11am Wild Card (teachers will rotate each week, so come for a surprise of personality and style!)
I would always check their website because classes are occasionally canceled when COAL (the space within which Firefly is located) is booked for a special event.
Parking is on-street and behind the building (plentiful), and the location is conveniently right across from Dandelion (TAKE ALL OF MY MONEYYYY).
So excited to be a member and love the classes so far! read more
