Everything that a Yoga studio should be!
I absolutely LOVED my experience here. This studio is a small location set in a cute little plaza in Aurora. When you first walk in, shoes are lined up trustingly in the front hall, making you feel like you have arrived home. The lady at the front desk told me a little bit about what the studio offers and then told me unfortunately I could not meet the owner- as she was in India to continue her learning from yoga experts. Well, I was pretty sold on their qualifications after that.
On to the tour:
The interior is so quaint and cozy you cant help but feel anything but relaxed and welcome. The change room is small but well set up, with folding partitions, and a separate bathroom and shower room. All the bells and whistles a woman might need are available- from tampons to lotion to hairspray. Outside the change room there are FREE(!!) lockers, where you can leave your valuables and take a key. Easy to remember which locker you used too- as each one is identified with an enlightening label such as "dream" or "believe". There are cold and warm water dispensers, and even various teas to try (I must admit, the tea option really excited me). There are three studios here, one for hot classes, and the others for general classes.
The class:
I did not actually take a hot yoga class, but instead opted for the Power Pilates with Weights. The room was small, could fit about 10-12 people. The class itself was awesome, definitely a great work out and the instructor was fairly good at providing options for beginners to advanced.
What really sets this place apart is the sense of camaraderie here. Everyone seems to know each other and are laughing and joking in the halls, and chatting softly before classes begin. As a new student everyone was so helpful and welcoming, I really couldn't believe it. Nothing like the cold -no eye contact, earphones in at all times- gyms that I'm used to. read more
