I attended a special event class with Tiffany and really liked it. I appreciate that they offer some slower paced formats for those of us who are new to (or returning to) yoga. Since that, I have been incorporating some "all levels" yoga classes into my workout routine. The studio space is no frills, but very welcoming. Be sure to bring your own mat and water (they do not have a water fill station at the studio.) It tends to be very warm in the room, so I suggest layers. They share a parking lot with several other businesses, but I have not had any trouble finding parking for evening classes. Online scheduling is very easy and they sell both monthly unlimited memberships and class packages.

She instantly made me feel welcomed into the space, which I really appreciated. The room was super warm but did not feel overly hot and was comfortable for the hot yoga session I signed up for. We went through a moderate vinyasa that was the perfect way for me to jump back into a yoga class after it had been awhile. The instructor was great about meeting the class where it was at and providing a robust but not overly intense session. I enjoyed it and feel that the price point of $10 for a class is super affordable, especially for that area. Would love to return!

If i had to classify this experience, it's for independent yoga students that have prior experience and prefer a class that's more of a "headphones in and silent study" type of vibe. This particular studio I would say focuses on the aesthetics above all. So the rooms are nice, the bathrooms are clean, the welcome space is inviting, and the instructors are what you would expect. Good yoga studio, just not my cup of tea. I prefer a different yoga experience.

I went to WiseWays this morning with a friend for an Easy Flow Yoga class. As it was my first time…read morethere, the instructor Julie was extremely helpful in getting my friend and me set up After filling out the necessary paperwork, we went into the yoga room. It's probably one of the coolest yoga spaces I've seen. The room is dimly lit with only natural light, the ceiling has drape-y things hanging from it, there are several woven baskets with mats and yoga props, and there are even bongos situated in the room! It definitely helped set the mood of the class. The teacher took the time to explain the set up and flow of the class to me and my friend. The set up was different for me. The class started with self-massage. I've never experienced that before, and while it was a foreign concept to me, I enjoyed it. During the self-massage, we were given some aromatherapy cream, which was awesome. I love smelling hippy smells like pachouli during yoga. It makes me feel more calm. The class was an hour and 15 minutes - definitely a great value! We went through gentle and modified versions of the sun salutation and many other common yoga poses. I enjoyed the gentle stretch and relaxation to start my weekend. But since I am more experienced in yoga, I wish it were a bit more vigorous. To be fair, though, I need to try the other two types of classes, as the Easy Flow is meant to be...well, easy. The only thing I disliked was that the class was only 3 people large. I enjoy bigger classes because I feed off of the energy of others in the class. I also have a feeling that most folks don't know about this place. If you're not interested in yoga, they also have tai chi classes. I recommend it and will be back!

With a year-long unlimited membership pass, I am pretty familiar with Wiseways/Shift yoga. (They…read morechanged owners and the name to Shift in January '13.) Upside: super friendly staff and fellow yoga lovers. Big enough parking lot and its kind of hidden around the corner. Wonderful, relaxing classes. Downsides: Sort of a small space, so right after they do a Groupon or something it can get grossly crowded for a week or two. Very limited weekend classes: none on Fridays or Sundays, and only one on Saturday at 8:30a. Pretty inconvenient if you have a regular 9-5. Also if you're under 30 you'll be the youngest in the class.

I bought a 4-pack class intro package. I went to one class and decided Rewild is not for me…read more The space is so, so small. The lobby was beautiful but incredibly and uncomfortably cramped with 35ish people waiting for class. When the studio doors opened for the previous class to depart, it got very awkward. The smells that came out of the studio were overwhelming and people were awkwardly bumping into each other in the cubby area. If 35 was a lot, imagine ~70. Ideally there'd be a buffer between classes. The class itself was unlike any yoga I've done before. I liked the instructor, but if felt very unplanned and a little chaotic. It was a lights-out class so if you didn't know pose names, you'd have to copy from your neighbor. But no worries there because you're instant besties because of the lack of space between mats. Arms were bumping left and right. I saw reviews about uncomfortable situations with a different instructor after class. I was glad he wasn't my instructor, but he's seemingly still employed there. Combined with the experience I had at my first class, that made letting my other classes go unused a no brainer.

This was my first trip to Yoga on High. A fellow yogi at my home studio posted to our YTT group…read morethat YoH was offering an open, free class this AM. Given that she was going, it was something I was able to go to, and my home studio offered something else at the same time that was not my preference, it was the perfect chance to check out the studio. It's always easier to try something new with a friend - even if you arrive first. Parking was easy once I got there. I use to live in the area so I knew my options. It looks like there are a couple of dedicated spaces behind the building - but there's lots of street parking nearby on the residential side streets. I got there early like they said to - before the instructor opened the building. And I was not alone. Our studio just about always opens 20+ minutes before class. Not so here. No biggie. Still plenty of time to get settled in. The store front area is small with a desk, a couple retail items, and coat hooks and shoe cubbies. The yoga room is HUGE compared to what I'm used to. That being the case, people were able to take their bags and "stuff" with them. I found this nice as I had my phone, car keys, a little $, towel, hair ties and mat towel - all in a little bag. So to have and my water bottle handy was cool. There were plenty of props available - blocks, bolsters and blankets. The only thing I didn't see were straps. ALl the same - plenty for everyone. The set up of the room was good - although the instructor barely demo'd - rather wandering most of the time. I made the mistake of being in the back row and set up against the wall - like the lady next to me. It didn't leave room to stretch arms over my head when lying down. However, it let me do a headstand later - which I still like to have a wall - not do in an open area. There was NO MUSIC. Hatha style maybe? Or instructor's preference? No idea. However, I didn't notice until sivasana. Overall, nice class. Very basic. Not much vinyasa (if at all), but good to return to the basics and try something new.

That was so nice! All I had to do was jump right in the class! The down part to it was after... I asked if they needed anything from me and she said to fill out my info and that was it. It was assumed since it was my first time it was free since she said that was all she needed from me and then told me to have a nice night. I get a phone call 30mins later from them letting me know I didn't pay for my session. And that next time I will need to. No one told me I had to pay and I wouldn't leave without doing so if I had to. Just felt really awkward and annoyed about that. Bad first impression.

I chose the Yoga Loft on a whim, but mostly because of how close it was to my house. I had attended my first class at the end of December and ended up choosing Abby's gentle yoga. That class is what led me to stick with the Yoga Loft and continue my practice to now. The environment is very soothing and calming, and puts me at ease the second I walked in. While I haven't had a class with all the instructors, I've had at least one class with majority of them and there isn't one I would not recommend. They're all dedicated, caring, and have their unique quality. I also love the mix of classes -- about a month into attending classes, YL offered a free total body conditioning class. This is now a regular class and one I attended. So now not only am I more relaxed with yoga, I am becoming and feeling stronger with TBC! I can't recommend this studio enough -- and as someone who just started practicing yoga a few months ago, I can assure you this is a safe place to start!
