Show up for the classes, stay for the teachers, and become a part of The Studio Family.
My partner and I joined because this is literally right down the street from us, they had a $45 unlimited special, and I wanted to try out a few studios before committing to anything long-term.
They use the mind-body app to schedule so it is super easy to get into a class and reserve your spot. The teachers have their own unique styles.
My first class was with Brittany - she teaches a power flow so get ready to sweat and travel through your flow multiple times. The room is heated but not on fire. My favorite things about her class are 1) she teaches with touch (you can opt-out if you want but OMG don't) and 2) she brings her authentic self to every class.
My next class was with Peter and I guess I am a little crazy but I took the classes back to back each week for a total of over 2 hours of yoga in a night. Peter is a laid-back and unassuming dude who quickly impresses you with his immense knowledge of the position names, ways to improve your form, and how to do positions you never thought you could (think high crows, inversions, and interesting stands). He teaches an open class however so it's perfect for people of all skill levels - just be open to at least trying something past your comfort zone.
I also took a truly impressive Iyengar class with Barbara. She has a ton of training from India and we connected because of the time I spent in Rishikesh (birthplace of Yoga). Her class is 75 min and you really only do 5-6 poses in total... but you do 5-6 versions of each pose and work your way up to really finding your own body's proper form. This class is perfect for any skill level including people who have injuries or surgeries since she can walk you through a number of variations to help. For the more advanced, get ready to activate muscles you didn't know existed and figure out why that one pose never felt right - because she will get you in shape quickly.
I am missing a few other instructors and I would be remiss to not mention the staff and owners. They are super nice, have a really cute dog visit once and a while, and keep the place really clean and approachable.
They have showers, mats, and all the extras if you need that sort of thing.
Thank you STUDIO! I'll update the review when I get back from traveling to see how it changes over the year. read more
