Slowly open your eyes, and smile. . …read more I have practiced yoga approximately 6 years now. This studio is clearly interested in making sure you get the most out of your practice. I have never practiced in anywhere that I get so much personalized attention. Instructors are also available for private classes as well. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from which is really awesome, and also classes that focus on breath, meditation, and other related topics. Looking at the website gives you a greater understanding of the range of classes offered. The space is very neat and modern with a pleasant fragrance. Cubby holes are available for your belongings, and there is someone to check you in at the front desk. You will need to enter through the back of the building, and I think there's ample parking space in the strip center where it is located. Classes can be purchased one at a time (currently $15) or you can buy a package of classes. Highly recommend this studio!

Update to my update- 5 Stars for a fabulous yoga studio with a new location that's smaller, but…read morereally intimate. The new location is right near Smith and Edgewater. Calvin and Teresa welcome you at the door and there you see some great CPY merch. Beyond that is one small room. Although it's not "hot yoga," they keep the room pretty warm, and cold outside Update- 5 Stars because years later I return to CPY to find my previous 4 stars inadequate. Recently I've given a few yoga studios a try while deciding to get back into a more regular practice. I revisited CPY and realized how much is missed it/how much better it suited me than many other local studios. The focus of the ashtanga practice at CPY is not just fitness (though that's an added side effect) but rather on breathing and being present. I've also been getting into mindful meditation and their style pairs well with it. It's totally non-judgmental and the studio is incredibly inviting. This starts with the instructors. Theresa and Calvin make you feel immediately welcome and treat you like a friend in a way that feels totally authentic. The classes are challenging but you're encouraged to take breaks in child's pose and listen to your body. At the end of the practice is a Shavasana that will have you feeling calm and relaxed on the way back to your car. Another lovely touch is that they offered wonderfully aromatic tea as you left the class. It's a little touch but many little touches like this create a wonderful overall experience. The one thing I wish is that they had earlier classes for those who want to get a class in before work (currently the earliest is 9am). Otherwise, I wouldn't change a single thing. It's my favorite studio in Orlando and I really look forward to the classes!

HOT HOT HOT What…read moreLike the place name, power yoga... The session I joined wasn't so power to me. It was a hot stretch fest. The room is always warm and once you start going your sweat doesn't stop! This was a full 1 hr hot hot yoga stretching, loosen those muscles! I didn't like that so many people were packed into the space. I sat near the wall and wasn't able to stretch my arms out left or right. I didn't like the fact that the instructor wasn't a part of the class, instead she was a walking live CD. She walks and talks and if you don't get the pose, look at your neighbor. There is also no waiting on you. Environment MAKE SURE TO GO EARLY to secure a piece of real estate! Because the space is so small, if you go earlier you get to check-in and pick a spot. I assume they start turning people away once it is packed! There is no online check in to book your spot. They should get online check in.. would suck for someone to go and then be turned away.... I went at 8AM, there was plenty parking outside since it was early. The studio is very very very small. The check in area is where you leave all your items, shoes, keys, phones (they lock the door once classes starts). There are also showers in the back room where you can shower off your sweat! Niceness The instructor was nice. She explained everything to me. I signed my waiver. For any of these poses, if it gets too difficult, you could always just sit in child's pose and join back when ready. You can pause yourself but not the instructor. The show much go on Dollar $ Relatively reasonable. They have drop in classes. All drop in classes are $10 per session. On Sunday it is $8. If you don't have a map, no problem. There are mats available for you to use BUT IT ISN'T FREE! The mats are $1 rental. The first class they give you a complimentary mat (yay!) Yes? Not for me. I don't like crowded place and also I don't like the fact that the instructor is just talking, she isn't helping anyone with the moves. If you don't know the pose, peek at your neighbor and hope they know what they are doing. (fingers crossed) #WendyWanders

This one was 4 credits and recently I've been on a yoga kick so I wants to try it out. Let me tell you, this yoga class kicked my ass. Unfortunately I don't remember the instructors name but she was incredibly nice. It's just that this was not at all for beginners like myself. They tell you yes, you can remain in one simple pose the whole class. But if you are trying to really maximize your time and follow along- it's very difficult. She was very fast in her stretches and I as a beginner could not keep up or hold any of the poses she was instructing. Before you mention "she should have taken a Lowe class level" this class level was detailed as being for all levels. However I don't think it was for beginners or those who were not flexible. I will say- at the end of the class, the instructor gave out these inspirational cards with quotes on them and mine was particularly accurate and appreciated. For that, I might try to come back as I get more flexible.

I received a free week of classes after responding to a Facebook post from the studio. I was…read morehopeful this would become my yoga studio because the location is convenient and I love having a reason to go to downtown Winter Garden To be honest, I really didn't care for the classes I went to - both 9:30 am classes with same instructor. While I still consider myself a beginner, having only practiced yoga for a few months on a regular basis, the beginner class was way too easy for me, even with a very painful hip injury. While I appreciated all the instruction and information the instructor provided, in my opinion she took so much time explaining how to do each pose between each move that I never felt like I got in a "flow". There was a lot of start/stop throughout the class - so much that I found myself getting irritated and timing how long she talked before going into a new pose. Most of the time it was between 60-90 seconds of explanation while either sitting or standing before moving on. I tried the intermediate class thinking it would be different, but I felt it was pretty much the same. (Same instructor.) Maybe it's because I'm used to taking classes with different instructors in other cities before moving back here - I've taken Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga, and Flex and Flow classes where the instructors cued the moves and provide instruction on how form should be while IN the poses. I've also taken restorative yoga as well as Yin and meditative yoga classes that were a much slower pace, but I never felt like I was just waiting for the next move. I'm accustomed to yoga classes being more "fluid" and I just felt like the constant start/stop made me frustrated and that I was not utilizing my time well. The studio itself was nice - nothing fancy: wood floors with exposed brick walls. They provide props like blocks, bolsters and blankets. There isn't a restroom actually in the studio. You have to walk out the back and down a hallway to what I assume is a shared restroom for several businesses in the building. The demographic for the morning class was mostly Myself, I am 51, but have been pretty active most my life. women in their 50-60's and they were of all fitness levels. Everyone was friendly and it seemed like many of them were friends. Some go out for coffee after class. It seemed like the other attendees in the classes were content, so maybe I just have different expectations based on my past yoga experiences. One of the owners did reach out to me to see how I did with my free week. I shared most of what's on this feedback with her and she said if I was looking for Vinyasa Flow type classes, their studio definitely wasn't for me. If you're a beginner with practicing yoga this studio may be a good fit for you. If you're someone like me, who has been for and active and attend group exercises classes often, it may not be a good fit. This was just my experience.
