When I lived in San Francisco I had a membership to a very high end yoga studio.... it was like 250$ bucks a month and it was worth it. Until I discovered Yoga Public, (after listening to couple friends rave about it for weeks) I found the studio I used to go to was unrivalled and I lamented being so far away.... But honestly, Yoga public ... it's studio, the change rooms and shower facility... the layout and the instructors.... the tea and THE CLASSES blow every other yoga studio I've ever attended out of the water. From a customer service standpoint they could not possibly be beat, they are kind and respectful and helpful, and the classes honestly saved me, between work and school and social life I think I was spread to thin this year. I was struggling with my complexion, I felt stressed, and my signature unsinkable optimism had faded. I didn't think I had time for yoga and I was going to sleep unhappy. I know this sounds pretty serious for a yelp review but I mean it, I was over extended and I wasn't happy and my friends told me a seemed less like myself every month.
So the story gets vetted, I did a two week pass at yoga public, I figured I'd likely take one or two classes at most but the two week pass was decent value so might as well... I went every day except one Saturday for 14 days and for at least 8 of those days I did two classes. After my first class I felt different, I did a Hot Flow class and it made me feel a) strong b) de-stressed and c) it gave me some peace... for the first time in ages I'd made enough space in my head to have a little clarity, it was he first night I fell asleep with ease in MONTHS. So I kept going back, I was obsessed.. and it totally turned things around, after the end of the first week I felt like despite spending two and a half hours a day doing yoga.. I had more time in the day, I felt sharper and lee efficient, I woke up smiling, I got back to writing in my gratitude journal.
So I signed up for the unlimited pass and you know who noticed ... everyone....
My friends my family, my co-workers... customers... I felt like me again, for the first time in a long time and I can't describe how good that felt. Yoga has made me so much happier.... the instructors at Yoga Public make it possible to come in, and find your groove in a class without needing to be an expert. It's the perfect plant of instruction support with the room and contact to do your own thing and figure it out as you go.
I could probably rant about how breathtaking the facility is but you need to just go check it out for yourself, you'll forget what city you're living in before the class is done and never want to leave. It's also the cleanest best smelling studio I've ever been to which actually makes a huge difference.
Yoga public did a world of good for me and if you're considering giving it a shot please try it out because you are absolutely cheating yourself of a truly special experience If you don't.
