I usually spend Christmas week with my family in St. Louis. Until this year, there were only three…read moreyoga studios that taught hot yoga: two Bikram studios and one that taught vinyasa. I really hate vinyasa with a passion and I wasn't too gone on the Bikram studio that I had tried before. So, I was thrilled to find Prana Yoga after some googling. Prana Yoga is tucked in an unassuming strip mall in the northern suburb of Des Peres. (So, don't worry about parking because its plentiful.) Prana was founded by a couple of Bikram certified yoga instructors who wanted to teach yoga styles other than Bikram. I took class the 90 minute Prana Hot Yoga class from the owners Mary Jane Cusumano and Melanie Zuanich on two separate occassions. As you would expect, you do some, but not all of the Bikram series and some new yoga poses in a heated room. You also do a bit of "core" work which reminded me of CorePower. The instructor doesn't actually demonstrate any of the postures and there is a little podium at the front of the room. This was reminiscent of Bikram but that's where the similarities ended. The instructor does not bark orders at you and doesn't wear a wireless mic. There is a hardwood floor and no stinky carpet. Check-in was welcoming and friendly. Your second class is free and if you take their Prana Hot class you get free towels in the changing room. The changing room is HUGE so you don't have to worry about bumping into people. There are no lockers in the changing room though. Overall, the studio is very clean. You can tell that the owners actually takes pride in the way it looks. Prana is a great place to practice if you are looking for an alternative to the St. Louis Bikram.

I was locked in a contract at my new gym with my whole family and it was too pricey to join another place too. Then all the covid junk happened and I stop going there. Later on tried PLNK Lagree Fitness for quite awhile which I loved, but an old back injury was causing me problems. I decided to give yoga another try, and I'm so glad I did! My inflammation in my lower back has improved in just a few weeks. They have a variety of classes. I think they're all at least a warm class set to 85-88. That sounds hot, but it's not bad at all. The hot classes are set to 105. Set up in the middle of the room to avoid the vents blowing on you if you're worried about the heat. You can always take a break or modify any moves. They encourage you to do what's right for your body. Whether that means skipping a move, resting in child's pose, or maybe doing a more advanced move. You'll find all levels of experience in the classes, but some classes are labeled for intermediate to advanced. Check class descriptions before signing up! All of the instructors I've had so far have been great. They're helpful, kind, and knowledgable if you have any questions. Their studio has a padded floor that helps with my joint pain, and a nice large window to let in natural light. They have blocks, straps, blankets, and bolsters to use if needed. They also have mats to borrow if you forget yours, but there might be a fee for those. I'm not sure about that since I haven't needed one. I've never been late to a class, but I know the instructor locks the door right before class starts. So, don't be late!! I appreciate this so the class isn't interrupted, but this also keeps our belongings safe and keeps people from wandering in since they don't have a front desk person anymore. They try to lock it within the minute of class starting to give people running late a chance, but I wouldn't cut it that close. Their app is easy to use to sign up for classes, and you can check-in on the app or on the screen in the studio. The instructors will sometimes check in people as they come in the door too. Class packs do expire if you go that route. They offer a new client special that's a great deal for one month unlimited that'll give you a chance to try all the classes. Lastly, they offer a free hot vinyasa community class on Saturdays. Download the app and check it out!

There's something fun about doing yoga in a garage.

Big Bend Yoga is basically a little house whose attached garage was remodeled to fit lots of bendy and trying to be bendy bodies.

I've taken classes with nearly every instructor and though all their methods are different, I found all of them very calming and helpful. They are always eager to help you modify your poses due to injury and work around painful habits in order to free up your body. There is a massage room or two in the place, though I've never had any done here. Classes are $12, though you get a discount for buying a card.

She is effortless in her teaching, and speaks as if she's a friend guiding your body from shape to shape. There's no pretense to her presence, just authenticity and a true passion for what she does. I moved away from a very strong yoga practice and community back home at a studio I adore, and this place already feels like home away from home. The practice space: Thoughtfully appointed with a laid back feel, it's a perfect space to flow. The ceilings are tall, light is abundant, and there's plenty of wall space for an end-of-class legs up the wall savasana. Juicy. Lots of plants and greenery, plus wood and gauzy curtains that lend a very breezy energy. At a glance appears to have space for 15-20 mats (give or take). Logistics: There's one restroom shared by a few wellness businesses in the communal hallway. Entry to the space requires walking up a flight up stairs - there's no elevator that I've been able to find. Parking: Ample street parking - and directly across from Schnucks, so it's perfect to get some weekend or evening grocery shopping done after class. Extras: The community seems to interact with one another and know each others names and faces. Very friendly studio, options galore. Lots of options given and all levels of experience in class. Can't wait to keep coming back again and again!

The next two teachers didn't work as well for me - clearly knew their stuff, but weren't oriented toward beginners and seemed irritated when I would ask questions. I emailed the owner, Melissa, to give her some feedback on this and ask her advice. When I sent that message - friendly, complimentary of much of my experience while critical of the lack of beginner support - I expected a response in kind. Instead, I got some of what seemed like random boilerplate ("we offer group exercise classes" - yes, I know, I've been to three of them!), some defensiveness ("my teachers have worked here for five years!"), and some PR-speak ("Barre3 is as much about community as the workout itself. Our goal is for our clients to leave feeling stronger and more empowered"), but very few answers. I asked which teachers would be best for beginners and was told "all of our teachers have their own teaching style," which doesn't help. Melissa did say she would show me the moves to help set me up for success. I also asked why they didn't have any plus-size clothing in their boutique area up front, and was told that they carry only a limited selection in the store but they have a sign stating they'll special-order other sizes. She even sent me a picture of the sign, which cracked me up - I believed her. I mentioned in my email reply that having any item in the store in a plus size would have helped me feel more included, and the answer was, "We are absolutely inclusive." That's....not how that works. I had no idea when I sent my initial message that I was going to end up being unwilling to go back to this studio! I'd expected a conversation to happen and for me to go back to certain teachers that were best for beginners, perhaps armed with modifications. But Melissa was so defensive and so unwelcoming that I don't feel comfortable returning. Luckily, there are many more barre studios in St. Louis.
