I started practicing yoga at Karma Flow about nine months ago (the studio is located inside The Fit…read moregym on Monroe Street). I had done a little yoga on my own, but had never really gone to a class. I met Kellie Kaddatz through personal training, and she encouraged me to try one. Since then, I've gone every week - sometimes two or three times, if I can fit it in! Kellie is a wonderful teacher, and she creates a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. She offers Peaceful Flow as well as Power Flow classes, so there are options for beginners as well as more advanced students. Mats and props are available for use at the studio. I can't say enough good things about Kellie. She's kind and caring, and wants to show you how yoga can improve your life. She's truly someone that has helped me to change mine. She offers her classes on a pay-what-you-can basis, so there's no reason not to come by. I'm very glad that I did.

Rooms are toasty, teachers are experienced and friendly, and community is good here. I've been…read moregoing between West, East, and Downtown, and each one is great. It's also a nice change of pace to move around. A lot of different classes to choose from (slow, power, hot series, yin, 60 min, 75 min, 90 min) and all of the classes are open to beginners! Welcoming to all levels, and encourages collective growth. I love the cork flooring! It feels nice. Some classes are accompanied by music. The tempo of the music and cadence of the teacher's voice helps with balance. I've never been told I couldn't sign up for a class here due to max capacity. As someone with a semi-chaotic schedule, I really appreciate being able to check in with ease so far! Given the current situation, their doors have closed, but they've started up live streams on Zoom! They're fun! Has been so therapeutic to me! Ngl tears have been shed. But I hear that's due to the hip openers.

I asked if they were open because it felt really weird and uncomfortable and she said I'm just about to close up. It really isn't warm and welcoming from my first impression. I'll maybe get a pass instead to make sure it's not like what I just experienced.

I have used iGO Fitness for their youth athletic programs and yoga- both youth and yoga for…read morebeginners. As a non-athletic mother of a middle-school athlete, I know that I needed to pay more attention to an area I often ignore: fitness but I was very intimidated. First, Cari and Cory made me feel SO comfortable and they weren't judgmental at all. (Embarrassment of my body kept me out of many yoga classes before). I took yoga for newbies. Even though I had actually taken 2 other yoga classes, this was the first time I actually UNDERSTOOD what I was doing. Cari was so patient and has a knack for describing the poses and breathing in non-Sanskrit terms! I enjoyed my experience so much I signed up for another class. My daughter has taken many classes from iGO Fitness. At first I wondered if the camp curriculum was too "loose", meaning I didn't recognize that they were doing lots of "drills". Then, when this was the only camp my daughter was EXCITED to go back to, I realized that Cory knew the secret sauce: kids have to have fun before they want to learn. Upon closer inspection, I can see how he hid the lessons inside games and activities. They thought they were playing when they were actually learning! Cari and Cory know how to work with kids and are great role models that you'd want your kids to look up to (no eating-disorder/steroid-using gym rats here!) If you want your young athlete to gain a competitive edge, they offer excellent development programs. They also offer general classes if you need to get your couch potato a little more active in the winter. (And definitely check out the yoga for yourself! Cari has classes for women and men!)

I recently travelled to Madison for a work meeting and had the opportunity to take four yoga…read moreclasses at the Yoga Co-op of Madison with three different teachers. This is an outstanding Iyengar Yoga studio. The instruction is expert, the classes are small, and the atmosphere is quite friendly. The studio is bright, clean, and attractive. There is a bathroom and a changing room. They have mats and props for students to use. This is a co-op so you pay the instructor directly (cash or check). There is a reduced fee for members of the co-op (anyone can join) and you can also get a ten class pass. If you haven't done Iyengar yoga before it would be good to take a level 1 class or a beginner's series. Also, you will probably be asked if you have any injuries or issues when you show up for class. Don't be put off by this; it is not meant to be intrusive! The teacher will modify postures specifically for whatever injures or limitations you might have to prevent any further injury and to help you recover. The instructors here helped me work on my handstand! I am looking forward to my next work trip to Madison so I can visit the studio again.

There is not a comparison culture. There is not a push to achieve something higher. What there is - a commitment to you - where you are in that moment. This weekend the instructor whispered thanks for being here as she handed out the cool towel at the end (such a bonus) and it almost made me cry. To thank someone for being in a space when then world seems to be revolving on expectations and shortcomings rather than thanks and acceptance brought out emotion in me. I truly encourage you no matter where you are in your life to try this studio. The options for trying are plentiful - no hard sell, no must sign up for life, nothing but how can we help and offer you a few moments of peace in this ever spiraling world.

I've had a few classes where instructors will go off beat or make minor errors, but that's human. Favorite is Brawl, and the normal barre is a close second. I used to arrive very early to class, but I've learned just 10 or 5 minutes early is ok; they don't open the floor 10 minutes until class anyway. You can keep up, or modify your workout to your comfort. I hurt my back one time, and the instructor worked closely with me to modify the moves. Parking in this location can get tight, but there's plenty of street parking. Much better than trying to find parking downtown. I highly recommend this place! If you don't enjoy a certain style of class, attend another one; there's plenty to try from!
