Second this: best in C-U. Took class with Lindsey, who is gentle, kind, rigorous and emanates…read morepeace. The class was personalized according to peoples' particular states of body and mind. For example, I walked in, she approached me, noticed that we hadn't practiced together before, and asked if I had anything that I was working through in my body (marathon yesterday; I did!). To begin, we were invited to find an inversion; she outfitted each of us with props and adjustments. The flow featured a mix of long-held poses, strength-inducing holds and traditional-ish vinyasa. Calm, focused, inspiring. I was surprised at the end of class to feel alert, relaxed, happy to meditate. Finally, I'll cite as evidence to this studio's bestness the stranger beside me who, during frog pose, after I'd moved a cushion under one of my feet, went out of his way to put his blanket by my other foot. Later, in a twist, he moved the blanket out of the way of my knees. Left feeling "worked out" and delighted to be human. Background: live out of state; favorite yoga studios other than this one in Los Angeles. Have not felt this excited about a class since my last with Steve in summer 2015.

I have been taking classes here and with these instructors (through an earlier iteration of the studio) for a year now, and I am so happy with my experience overall. Pilates and yoga mat classes tend to have 3-12 people in them, and equipment classes are limited to 3-4, so (and especially if you ask) you will get a lot of personalized attention to your form. You will also get to know people in your classes and, in general, it is a great group of clients, in every category of age and fitness/shape, who will swear right through the hard stuff with you. While most of the clients seem to be women, there are a few men, so guys shouldn't feel out of place at all. Highly recommended, and walkable (right on the trial!) if you live anyplace in between ISU and IWU.

Yoga is often disrupted by simultaneous fitness classes going on in the studio in the next room over that you can hear through the wall. Sometimes there are only 15 minutes between classes and it's hard to maneuver around the people coming/going and you feel really rushed. Please space out your classes better throughout the day. No waiting area so everyone is just crammed in the lobby. Really odd class times and nothing in the morning except for a 6am option... what kind of a yoga doesn't have a 9am option? Some good teachers, some not so great. It's nice during the summer, but when the students are in town it's kinda unbearable. Lavender towels after a hot class are their best feature. Unfortunately there aren't any decent yoga studios in town so this is your best bet.

There is an instant connection, sense of community, and complete lack of judgement. Tara is an intuitive teacher and guide who senses what you need and are able to do or not able to do.
