The Guide: Uma * Fun Flow Friday (Heated) Uma began by singing an intentional invocation. A spiritual reset, if you will. We could join in or simply receive the vibration. Then we connected to our breath. As we breathed, Uma introduced ahimsa: Nonviolence. Non-harming. For tonight: Be ABSURDLY kind to yourself. Speak kindly to yourself. Move freely. Smile. Play. After all, this was Friday-night yoga! Then came a first for me in a flow class: Face yoga. Squint the eyes and nose. Relax. Smile as wide as possible. Relax. Then, a gentle warm-up. A few Cat-Cows. Sun A. Next, Uma set us free: Explore. Smile. Do what feels good in your body. Sun B followed. In Warrior II, Uma paused for a little mythology: Virabhadrasana takes its name from Virabhadra, the warrior created by Shiva. Fun fact. Then...back to the flow. Add the vinyasa. Skip the vinyasa. Play. Once we were open and vibrantly alive, Uma paused again. Introduce yourself to the yogis beside you. Say hello. Give 'em a high-five. Then, back to the flow. Uma's energy filled the room. And yes, joy is contagious! Eventually, Uma guided us into Savasana. A cold, wet towel at the top of each mat. And then, stillness. The Music: Think songs like Shape of You reimagined through Carnatic music. Familiar enough to recognize, with a rhythm that moved the whole room. The Tribe: This was not a room of people pretending not to notice one another. We smiled. We played. We exchanged names and high-fives. After class, still moved by the energy, I introduced myself to Uma and asked her for a fun fact. She had recently found the time and space to complete yoga teacher training. Then came the real surprise: This was the first class she had ever taught. Her first! You would have never known. Uma grew up practicing yoga beside her father. Years later, that practice found its way through her and into this room, a room full of yogis smiling, moving, and helping welcome her into the next chapter. The Space & Place: Bright. Colorful. Full of personality. A cheerful wall of class notes. Playful signs. Colorful bolsters and cushions. A boutique filled with yoga wear, singing bowls, and small bells. The studio looked the way the class felt: bright, playful, and alive! Fun Fact Your first week at Yoga Pod is FREE! Field Note: Be absurdly kind...and watch what happens!

I've practiced Bikram/hot yoga for years and was excited to get back into it at Juice Box. The…read morestudios are clean and well-run, and the instructors are knowledgeable. My one hesitation: towel use is inconsistently allowed. My first class back was a full 90-minute traditional class (all 26 postures, twice) with a newer instructor - I used a towel briefly, just for grip during bow pose, and it wasn't an issue at all. In my next two classes, at two different locations, more experienced instructors firmly enforced a strict no-towel policy, citing traditional Bikram purity. What's interesting is that this doesn't match the studio's own history. A 5-star review on this page from about three years ago specifically recommends bringing both a large towel for your mat and a small towel to wipe sweat - and the owner replied directly thanking the reviewer and welcoming them to the community. So towels were clearly fine at one point. The studio also modifies the traditional method in other ways today (music in the 60-minute class, dog yoga), so the current strict enforcement feels selectively applied rather than a consistent, longstanding rule. Worth knowing going in if you sweat heavily or need a towel for grip on certain poses - bring a sweatshirt or wristbands as a workaround, or ask before you book.

Admittedly, I fell off track after I completed the first round. I kept working out, but eating out and social drinking got the best of me. I am back on Brik, and I have cut out almost all processed foods, limited my alcohol intake drastically, and cut back on coffee. But notice, I didn't say 100%. And that's the great thing. Some of the other gyms might recommend a chicken and broccoli only diet-Kaia doesn't do that. It's plant based, really delicious food, and it's not militant. I love that. As cliche as it sounds, they really are a lifestyle-nutrition, exercise, community . . .and I am drinking the (all natural) Kool aid. LOL I know that I will have my ups and downs, but I know that Kaia is consistently there for me to go get a great workout, be around genuinely nice people, laugh every morning at 5 a.m., and grow and learn more about ME-mind, body, soul. I feel like if I stick with it, I will continue to see great results. I would suggest Kaia to anyone looking for a home gym, where they can feel supported.

Not only does this Lagree studio provide a challenging workout, but there is such a sense of community. The owners Amie and Carli have taken the approach of cultivating a space open to anyone. There are weekly and monthly events. There are educational talks about menopause, pelvic floor, pregnancy. There are challenges that keep you motivated. But the most amazing part of Peach, is the teachers. I have gone to many Pilates/Lagree studios in Reno and this is the one where I have found such a depth in the quality of teachers. It seems like training is an integral part of Peach, and that shows in the instructors. I do have my personal favorites (looking at you Kaylee, Audrey, Perla, Amie) but every time I decide to take a different teacher due to some scheduling conflicts, I'm still loving the workout. I've also taken some classes with brand new teachers that I'm excited to take again. Finally, the space is absolutely beautiful. It's a delight to work out in with beautiful mirrors, lighting and inspiring quotes.
