I absolutely love this yoga studio. I had been looking for a studio offering gentle and restorative…read moreclasses for quite some time, and I am so happy to have found them here. I drive about 30 mins. each way, but they are so worth it. The space is cozy, with two main studios, two nice restrooms stocked with hygiene supplies (I just think this is a nice touch), and a welcome area with cubbies for your shoes that smells like incense, and where you are always warmly welcomed. Sometimes instructors invite you to choose an intention card. The studios have adjustable lighting and overhead fans, and there are plenty of props available (you can bring your own mat or rent one). There is an interesting plumbing system in the building where pipes sometimes make burbling water noises. Rather than being a distraction, I find this actually oddly comforting -- sounds like gushes of rainwater or something. My favorite classes so far are Mindful Movement & Meditation, which involves 30 minutes of gentle stretch and 30 mins of meditation (this formula is my personal idea of heaven!), and there's also a Nervous System Reset taught by Sam Pullen, which must be experienced to be understood. It's an interesting somatic-style healing experience that will leave you wrung out but peaceful. Every instructor here has unique gifts and something to offer you, if you show up with an open heart and mind. The only tiny detractors for me: parking can be an issue (you battle for space with ACC in the attached garage--though students are not supposed to park there, they do, anyway), and it can be difficult to navigate the My Vinyasa Practice website to find the class schedule and sign up for classes -- I get the sense the studio heavily leans towards teacher training, and markets those classes primarily.

She helped me to rent a mat for free because it was my first visit. Then, she informed me about other classes at Pure, as well as a tour of the facility. The free mat was perfect for what I needed. There is an eyelet on the top left side of the mat, and that is where you lay the mat down in the room. I asked if the spots were reserved ahead of time because they do that at other studios, but there is not need to reserve a numbered spot - it just helps with mat placement and ensuring that people have enough room to move uniformly. I love that! I hate a crowded hot yoga room. The studio is surprisingly cleaner than most hot studios. There is a hydration station to refill your water bottle, which is nice because you aren't forced to purchase water. The restroom is really clean. I haven't seen gym showers that clean even at Equinox in California which I thought that the 3 SF Bay Area locations had nice enough showers. You are limited to a 3 minute shower here at Pure, but that's fine for a quick rinse and it's great when you have to share and are waiting for another person to finish, but they are taking forever to finish. The class itself was a nice succinct Bikram yoga class with the same 26 postures in 60 minutes instead of 90. Beth was a wonderful instructor who gave me a little trinket after my first class. I'm very excited to visit again on the traveler's pass!

I was pretty sure I was going to love the Austin Yoga Institute right away. Since my yoga training…read moreis in the Iyengar method, I sought out a Iyengar-exclusive studio when I move to Austin. From what I can tell, the Austin Yoga Institute is the only yoga school in the city that has an Iyengar curriculum. So if you want to focus your yoga on the Iyengar method, this is definitely the place for you. I've taken classes with three different teachers at this point. They all have different personalities and teaching styles, but I enjoyed working with all of them. Each is well-trained, personable, and able to help you work around any chronic problems you might have. In addition, they all seem to be willing to help each other out, meaning that if a teacher can't make it that day due to illness or emergency, another teacher is able to step in and help out. Since I have a day job, I attend the 6 p.m. class on Mondays and Wednesdays. These classes have never had more than 10 peope in them. The daytime and weekend classes might be fuller, but I can't be sure. Another perk to the studio is that it offers teacher training in the Iyengar method. So if you want to be an Iyengar instructor, this is probably your best option. And for complete beginners to yoga, there is an 8-week series designed for people with no yoga experience. So whether you're just starting out, or you're looking to become a teacher, Austin Yoga Institute has something for you. I will warn you that the school's fees are pretty expensive. However, there are discounts for students and for people who practice green transportation practices (taking the bus, riding a bike). And if you're really hard up for money, the teachers are willing to work with you. So if you really want to take yoga classes but find the cost prohibitive, I encourage you to talk to one of the teachers to find out about alternative accomodations.

The Iyengar method, which is the only flavor served here, is one of the most intensive and detailed hatha methods. In other words, you probably won't get hurt by some Bozo with a weekend yoga teacher certification here. Its a great place to get the basics down before venturing out to other flavors. Founder Peggy Kelley has been at this stuff around forty years and has been selfless in the early promotion of yoga in Austin. I have had classes with about half of the teachers here and all were very good. If I lived South of the river, this would be my regular yoga haunt! One of the more pleasant studios physically to practice in as well... Lots of interesting art by R. J. Oehler to view normal or inverted... Ropes wall.... a few doors to left of Alamo South...

I'm hooked like Tyrone Biggums (dave chappelle character) is hooked on crack. As for yoga, I have only been practicing since Dec 25, 2014 and I have been exposed to many yoga studios, instructors, and teaching styles (Long Beach, Fullerton, La Habra, Cypress, Seattle, Killeen, Houston, Dallas, and Austin). The studio has ambient parking for the yogis. When you walk in, the front desk is located on the right for check in. They have available manduka mats, blocks, and straps for your practice. They sell water and other sport drinks. To the right are "cubbies" similar to the kindergarten days to store your excess clothes, purses, shoes, etc. There is a water fountain that trickles water (try to fill your water bottle before practice or else spend a minute filling a 24oz bottle). There is an extremely clean bathroom (probably want to poop at home). When you enter the studio, they provide sweat towels. To conclude practices, they give cold and lavendar-scented savasana towels! I have attended 6 sessions and have always enjoyed how crowded and sweaty my fellow yogi's and I get. The studio is heated for multiple reasons: detoxicification, cardiovascular workout, and increase flexibility. The practice are endorsed for yogi's of different levels. The instructors make that clear from the start, but during practice they will recommend suggestions for the experience practicers. So for instance, she will suggest to do this jumping practice. Some people will do hops. Others will be able to spring into handstands. The advance will be able to twist their legs like pretzels, curve their backs, straddle their legs, etc. Lastly, the more people involved in the class, the more fun that we have. Overall, check this place out. Your practice is your practice and Breath and Body assists you with expanding and developing it to higher and untraveled levels. I wish that I lived closer to become a regular practicer at this studio, but have been fortunate for the times that I have practiced here. And you conclude with savasana towels.
