This is a great place to come if you are looking for a good, solid yoga class. Let's be honest,…read moreit's hard to find the class for just YOU, it is a very personal decision. Here's what I look for. I am an on again, off again yoga practitioner who has been to a variety of classes at yoga studios, health clubs and retreats. Me, personally, I love a technique driven class. The point of yoga, for me, is to connect with mind, body, spirit, and breath. When I look for a class I am seeking out a teacher who is going to respect that. I do not look at yoga as a work out. I look at it as a practice, something you do somewhat daily to connect to your body. In that respect, I think Open Doors in North Attleboro is right on target. They are small, personal, and very focused. I have been to only two classes so far and am looking forward to more.
What to expect: a very warm, well kept, clean, small studio. It is one single room with cubbies for your personal items/ shoes. They have blocks, straps, mats (though most people, including myself have mats), sprays in house. This is a HOT yoga class. Be prepared. I have been to a few hot yoga classes before, this one is pretty moderate, but bring water and a towel. Altogether it is a REALLY good work out (as much as I hate to admit it, it's a nice bonus considering I was looking for yoga as a health benefit).
So far I have only been to the moderate/beginner class with Susan. She is very descriptive and I need that. She is incredibly sensitive to new clients. It is all about learning to know yourself, your abilities, and your limits.
One last technical note, look for small shopping center on route 1, in same shopping center as "Quan's Kitchen" and "Kumon Learning Center." They have good, economical deals, very nice facilities, and a really good staff. I'm hooked!
