Let me tell you a story. i had some pain from starting to work out again after a long hiatus. i knew it was time to return to yoga. This is the first place i tried and i haven't bothered trying anywhere else. Why would i? Its perfect. Now check it, This studio was not what i was looking for but it turned out to be exactly what i needed. What's more, it is everything that i never knew that i really wanted. For example, i had NO intention of doing any harder classes, i just wanted to chill and stretch and now...i'm hooked. i do everything. And how did i get hooked? One of the students insisted that i try the more challenging classes so i did. Boy oh boy oh boy, was i was intimidated because the owner and her team are extremely strong and fit but i went in and i loved it. i immediately knew my body would never be the same, If i stick with it, i will get healthy and strong in a way i've never been before. And there are people of all fitness levels there too. It feels like we are all on the journey together. The whole place is a vibe in and of itself. It's a community. And my goodness, if representation, diversity, inclusion, and authenticity mean anything to you, then this is the place for you. There is no pretending, it is just "Hey this is who we are and accept us as we are and we will do the same for you." There is no falseness to the place the instructors represent a wide range of ages, genders, races and more teaching yoga. Every teacher i've met is exceptionally kind and wonderfully skilled. i even get to dance there sometimes, there is a dance class too, y'all. It's more a sanctuary than a studio, an oasis in an otherwise lacking environment. Honestly, i could go on and on about the attributes of this Yogaguru. But let me finish by saying it is a place of healing and wellness that reflects the values of love and kindness and feels like what the world should feel like. Everybody is a friend to everybody else and you get the opportunity to do your practice how you see fit. Also, the culture can be very entertaining, i laugh and smile a lot. It's also encouraging, you feel like they are talking to you when they address the class, and its a place i miss when i travel. i love it. You will love it. And if the word keeps spreading they are going to need a much bigger place. i think Yogaguru is incredible and i say that as a former yoga teacher, a community leader who prefers to be in beautiful spaces, a person who started yoga in 2003, and a kinda shy person who is out of practice and out of shape who likes to hang in the back only. i'm now so comfortable there i dont even worrry if i dont get my space in the back. You get me. Its LOVE, all LOVE, and thats what it should be when we get together. i wouldnt change a thing, the sheer number of classes puts Yogaguru on another level. Yes, there's that too. Anyways, check it out. You won't regret it. read more
