There is some free street parking (though it's limited), and a parking lot across the street that's $1. I signed up via ClassPass for an R&B Restore evening class. I saw the string lights leading up the stairs to the studio and knew this was going to be a cool spot. I love low lighting, especially for yoga! When I stepped into the studio welcome area...wow. The neons, the swinging chair, the cool lights: it all felt so relaxing and zen. I was instantly greeted by Angel, who was so welcoming and friendly for my first time. As people trickled in I could tell there is a solid community here that accepts and welcomes everyone. Angel showed me around to the bathrooms and shower rooms (BYOTowel!) and brought me into the studio where mats were already set up for class. They have one room for now, and a second is under construction for yoga teacher training. Y'all. This room! Neon at the front, walls lined with faux vines, lined with lights and faux candles, and a lit-up cloud creation on the ceiling. I could feel my muscles instantly relax and my jaw loosen. I felt so peaceful. Angel's restore class was nothing short of exceptional. The poems and phrases she shared were so impactful, her playlist was spot on (to the point where almost everyone in class begged her for the playlist after), and the energy in the room was so healing. Truly one of the best classes I've taken in years. After class, several of us chatted with Angel as we packed up. I felt so restored - this definitely won't be my last visit to 612 Jungle! I'm dying to try their other workout formats and meet other instructors.

Introduction to Ayurveda is more than just a cooking class, but an invitation to think about your…read morerelationship with food and eating. Most cooking classes start with some small talk about the menu, maybe a glass (or two) of wine - Nalini starts with a 15-minute guided meditation that culminates (warning: spoiler alert) with a small food offering that makes you keenly aware you are what you eat. She then discusses Ayurveda and the principal of eating foods balanced to your body (kind of sort of makes sense, but I'm still thinking how much I love bacon). Then the kicker - it's not just how you feel about taste, but also how you feel afterward (needless to say, I could still feel the delicious Prather Ranch corned beef sandwich I had for lunch). The food we cooked - soup, rice and green beans was simple and delicious. It was fun to learn how to mix and prepare Indian spices. But the real learning is to really think about your food. I'm not at all ready to give up corned beef or bacon all together, but even for a couple meals every week, to think about balance, energy and how you feel afterward. Thanks Nalini, hope to do another class soon!

4.5 stars really - I got a Groupon for the Intro to Ayurvedic Cooking class and I'd never taken a…read morecooking class before so I was very excited. First of all, the class was held in Nalini's apartment, which is beautiful. Right off the bat, you can tell Nalini is incredibly knowledgeable. She is also kind, warm, and respectful. I learned a lot about Ayurvedic principles and some of the basics of Indian cooking; however, I didn't even get to use my knife! I guess that would be my only criticism; I expected to do more cooking than I actually did, and to learn more about actual cooking techniques. I think maybe the class size was too large, as I felt there were "too many cooks in the kitchen." Otherwise, it was a wonderfully positive experience. The end result of our labors was delicious! I can't wait to go buy up some spices and try the recipes for myself. I'm definitely interested in some more classes with Nalini, (especially her Dosa making class) as well as one of her culinary tours to India.

I've been coming here for the last year and half and quickly realized these yoga classes are just…read moremy style. YogaQuest is an amazing, welcoming community in Uptown for the nerdily-inclined. The teachers are totally accepting of whoever comes in the door and really focus on offering yoga for all, even if you don't have the stereotypical yogi body. They offer so many options and variations for every body, and it's a great place to come in as a total yoga newb because they break down poses so well. The classes are awesome and always find a way to put a fun and hilarious spin on a typical yoga class. Tuesday nights offered narrated yoga-alongs to everything from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings to Sherlock and the list goes on and on. On Saturdays, you can even show up in your pajamas and do some yoga and then watch your favorite cartoons with a bowl of cereal. But one of the best things about YogaQuest is the sense of community you'll find there. Within a class or two, you'll notice a lot of familiar faces, and YogaQuest prides themselves on not being a quiet, contemplative studio. There are jokes and stories constantly flying, people asking questions about poses and tons of laughter throughout. In other yoga classes I've been to, it's incredibly serious and you never talk to the person doing a pose next to you, even if you see them every week. At YogaQuest you'll receive a huge welcome when you walk in the door, whether you're brand-new or you've been there the day before. And their focus on nerd wellness means they're always somebody to geek out with about your favorite fandom before, during or after class.

(Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the bathroom pro. It's so nice to have bathrooms right outside the studio.

Hannah's classes are a 10/10 each time!!!All of the instructors are supportive, bring great energy, and invite you to challenge yourself. I take classes through ClassPass and Up Yoga is my most frequented studio. Very grateful they are on ClassPass! The studio is inviting and very straight forward. There is street parking and small lots on either side of the building (you probably aren't supposed to park in front of the cremation society during their business hours, but when I go to class the lot is empty and it's after hours, so I park there). You check in at the front desk, leave your shoes and jacket in the lobby, then head into the studio. They have so many class times to choose from, and they stagger the times just right so if you're someone like me who arrives 15 minutes to each class, you don't have to awkwardly wait around for another class to get out before you can go in. It's nice getting adjusted to the heat in the studio before you start moving. I would definitely recommend arriving at least a couple minutes early. You bring your own mat and water bottle. They provide weights, blocks, and towels. They also have cubbies inside of the studio for you to put your belongings, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own lock or leaving your stuff unattended. They also have bathrooms and a changing room if you're coming right from work. I cannot recommend Up Yoga enough!!

It is located in a quiet area that is easily accessible by public transit. The studio itself is super bright and clean, and Molly is super welcoming, always asking questions about how my work is going and listening with genuine interest. The best part of this studio is that it is rooted in making the yoga scene inclusive to everyone. You can walk in and feel welcome, and pay what you can afford. The yoga teachers represent various races, ages, body types, etc. I loved both the Vinyasa class and the Ashtanga 2/3 class. As a relatively new "Ashtangi" and a hip surgery veteran, I felt that the Ashtanga 2/3 class was accessible and not intimidating, with plenty of modifications and adjustments to make me feel safe (but still challenged).

Mother and baby yoga consists basically of moms moving their babies gracefully and purposefully around their bodies while doing modified yoga poses. The class emphasizes following one's own energy levels and listening to one's baby; the teacher "invited" us to do a lot of basic elements of yoga (breathing or more advanced poses). But here's the thing. It wasn't yoga. It was gentle baby swinging. And it wasn't even yoga for the baby, since most of them cried or slept. It wasn't even relaxing, because I had to deal with my baby. What I REALLY wanted was for someone to take the damn baby so I could do some yoga.
