I had the chance to hold some and one kept jumping on me as I was laying down lol They felt the size of some newborn babies lol They were a nice distraction during the 1 hr yoga.

Immediately upon entering, I was welcomed by the smell of palo santo and a sign reading "Be Here Now". The decor was clean and somehow minimalist yet cozy at the same time. Staff was super friendly and patient checking me in. They have a small locker area, two private bathrooms, and one shower. It's a small space so don't expect a full on locker room but they do seem to make the most of the space they have. The studio itself was well heated -- definitely more of a dry heat than I'm used to but it felt great. Large windows looked out to the Hampden Avenue "LOVE" mural. Great natural light. The blocks were high quality and I love that they use microfiber towels for cleaning equipment instead of single use wipes. The instructor, Margot, was excellent. The "South" practice features a vinyasa flow that quickens in pace throughout class. It's my understanding that the South flow is the same every time, regardless of instructor, so you can really start to turn your brain off the more you get to know the sequence. There were queues for optional, more advanced poses that I appreciated as well. Margot's voice was super soothing and her queuing was spot-on. There was also breathwork at the end of class which was actually the most challenging part for me! I will definitely be back to try more of Arrow's classes.

Jen is really lovely, she is super kind to all clients. This is a trend with CP but the teaching…read moreskills are a bit inconsistent. Some instructors are better with explaining how to do the movements correctly. I really have enjoyed my classes with Taylor and Avery (best music as well). I've taken classes with 5 other instructors as well. Another trend I've noticed is the lack of inclusivity. I've been to other workout studios and there's usually a culture of kindness, here I'll smile at the women and they will literally look at me like or just looking up/down at you... it seems oddly competitive? My other experience as well is one of the instructors kept calling me by the name of the only other Asian girl in the studio, I didn't notice it until midway through class. Lastly I think the cost for 8 classes a month for $200 is a bit steep when looking at Solidcore/Core power yoga unlimited classes are $180 per month. Something to note! I definitely would've kept going if the cost made sense and I could frequent classes with solid instructors.

I am leaving this review to document serious concerns regarding the conduct of instructor Sikira…read moreAlexander and her ability to maintain appropriate personal and professional boundaries. Sikira and I initially connected through our shared college background after I recognized her at the Pilates studio. We developed a brief friendship outside the studio. Over time, I became increasingly uncomfortable with her behavior, which I experienced as competitive, jealous, intrusive, and inappropriate. This included an excessive interest in my personal finances, spending habits, and material possessions. I found the financial scrutiny and comparisons particularly inappropriate and indicative of an unhealthy friendship dynamic. I also believe colorism played a role in this dynamic. As a dark-skinned Black woman, I felt that my confidence, financial independence, and the life I've built were viewed through a lens of competition and perceived superiority by Sikira, a light-skinned Black woman. Her repeated characterization of me as someone who thinks she's better than others felt less like an observation about my behavior and more like resentment toward my independence and circumstances. I found those dynamics troubling and inappropriate. The friendship ultimately ended following an incident in which Sikira physically postured toward me, hovered over me, clenched and shook her fist, and appeared to be attempting to provoke a physical altercation. At 34 years old, I have no interest in entertaining that kind of behavior. That incident was the breaking point. I chose not to engage, ended the friendship, blocked her, and removed myself from the social circle. My decision to end the friendship was clear. However, rather than respecting that boundary, my decision was repeatedly met with accusations that I thought I was better than her or that I was unwilling to open up. The issue was never a lack of explanation. I simply did not want to maintain the friendship. Months later, Sikira returned to the studio. I deliberately avoided further interaction. I did not approach her, communicate with her, or attend her classes. Nevertheless, I experienced a change in the treatment I received from another instructor, including comments suggesting that I needed to open up more. Given the history and timing, I became concerned that Sikira was using her interpersonal relationship with another instructor to bring a personal dispute into the professional environment and influence how I was treated as a client. I find the possibility of staff relationships being used to exert social pressure on clients particularly concerning. I am also concerned about the discussion of private interpersonal matters with other clients and classmates. Personal disagreements should not become studio-wide conversations or influence the atmosphere of a shared fitness environment. Ultimately, this is a matter of boundaries. There is a clear distinction between a personal friendship and a professional relationship. An instructor should understand that a client is not obligated to provide friendship, personal access, financial transparency, or emotional vulnerability. Declining a friendship should not result in intimidation, repeated interpersonal pressure, or attempts to involve other staff members. I consider the behavior I experienced bullying, and I believe management should take these concerns seriously. Clients should be able to attend classes without feeling pressured, intimidated, or subjected to personal conflict because they have chosen to disengage from an instructor outside the professional setting.

No matter where I've moved, I've always managed to find a studio and I'm so glad to have found BambooMoves in Locust Point! It's more than just a space where I practice yoga - it's a space that helps me reflect on things and take some much needed time for myself. I love the fact that it's walking distance from my home and that it has such a calming vibe. When I start at a new studio, there are always a few things I look for - clean, bright and open space, small class sizes, friendly teachers and the option to practice at my own pace. BambooMoves checks off all those boxes and so much more! Everyone at the studio is so friendly and welcoming and is always encouraging students to listen to their bodies and practice at the pace that feels most comfortable to them. There are classes for all levels as well as classes for people just starting out in their yoga practice. Signing up for a class is super easy as well. If you visit the BambooMoves website, you can access the schedule for the week and can sign up directly on the website. All in all, I highly recommend this studio!

I'm talking throw me into the mouth of a fire breathing dragon, allow me to suffer a bit, sometimes tease me with a breath of fresh air, allow me to continue melting, and throw some positivity in to keep me from completely sputtering out. Thankfully, Breathing Dragon lives up to its name. This delightful hot yoga studio, which was converted from a core power yoga studio, has everything I need to be happily at home. Breathing Dragon IS absolutely hot. While a hot yoga room is ideal, teaching is VERY important to me. Mori, the owner, is exceptional!!! She is, what I would refer to in the yoga world, a Master Teacher. She is extremely knowledgable about the body, the yoga practice, has over 20 years of teaching experience, and radiates positive energy. She has funny jokes, inspiring quotes, and advanced corrections which is particularly important to someone like me who has almost 22 years of yoga practice. She walks around with a ruler, ensures proper alignment, and provided me with hands on corrections, which I just adore. Thank you, Mori. Her rays of sunshine alleviated (some of) my suffering - after all, I chose to practice in the hottest spot in the room (far left when facing the mirror). Mori did kindly advise me of that spot, but I love a challenge. Let me say, Mori's class is a pleasant challenge. I have practiced at 100s of studios around the US and other countries. I have very high standards. Mori meets Every Single One of them. Would I practice here again? Absolutely. The studio has showers, lockers (bring your own lock), towels/mats for rent, and cubby holes for shoes at the door. Mori of Breathing Dragon has fostered a beautiful community of welcoming practitioners. If you move to downtown Baltimore or just passing through and want to make friends or just simply meet quality humans, practice at Breathing Dragon.
