Also like Rachel's class, but the time interferes with another class that I take. The Zoom classes are very convenient and well taught. I don't even have to watch it, just listen to Thomas' very specific instructions. His yoga has helped heal every injury I've had. Broken leg, 2 broken wrists, hip joint problems, and kept me healthy since he opened his studio. Much more so than physical therapy or Dr recommendations. Recently drum, gong, and singing bowl sound meditations have been added approx. monthly. Love those too and wouldn't miss them for the world.

I've been practicing yoga for over 10 years and I go to another studio that is closer to my house…read morebut I came here because Lucien D teaches here on Sunday mornings and that is the main reason for joining. I met Thomas many years back when he was just teaching and now he owns the studio. He is very nice to work with but I prefer a more vigorous work out without high impact and Lucien offers the perfect balance. I get a great workout without impacting my "old" joints. He helps my neck and low back pain issues as well. I like Ji Woo's sessions as well but it doesn't fit my schedule. It wasn't easy to find at first because signage was not helpful at first, but the studio is in the back of an office building and you would miss it if the sign was not outside. I don't know the other teachers but everyone has their own needs and I would definitely recommend trying the studio out.

I cannot believe the other reviewer had positive things to say about Mac! My review is QUITE the…read moreopposite. I went to Niyama on week nights almost 4 days a week this past summer when I was living in the suburbs. Almost all of the teachers I had on week nights were amazing, kind, patient and everything a good yoga teacher should be. The studio is clean, inexpensive (especially if you're a student) and relaxing. If my rating were based on the weeknight classes only, my rating would be much higher. I made the mistake, however, of attending a few of Mac's classes on the weekends. Mac owns the studio- and therefore, I thought it would be a great experience since I loved the studio so. How wrong I was. Upon the first class I attended Mac made it a point to humiliate a student in class because he wasn't doing a backbend correctly. I decided to write it off as a fluke and attended her class again the following weekend. I realized that it was not a fluke. Mac was obnoxiously phony throughout the entire class and brought a condescending teaching style, constantly showering her students with demeaning comments instead of the uplifting inspirational attitude that you so often find in yoga. The final time I visited Niyama, I made the mistake of not checking the schedule beforehand and Mac was unfortunately teaching. During a posture that I find very difficult, Mac came up to me and said (loud enough for everyone to hear) that I should be in the back of the room because I clearly didn't know what I was doing. When I said that there was no room, she rolled her eyes and snapped "There's plenty of room!" I was furious and humiliated! Though I loved so many of the other teachers I refused to go back after that and support a studio owned by a person like this. When I decide to go to yoga I expect a comforting and uplifting experience led by teachers who foster a sense of support and community. When I told my story to a few other students I realized I was not alone in my sentiments. Others told me of similar situations they had either experienced or witnessed. Mac has no business owning a yoga studio and treating her students this way. If you do decide to attend Niyama- opt for a class taught by any of the other teachers, unless you want to leave feeling badly about yourself and your practice.

I'm not going to say that I was EXTREMELY reluctant to take classes at a studio which not only…read morepromotes contorting your body in ways you otherwise thought impossible, but also does it in a minimum of 100 degree temperature. But I was reluctant. That being said, they do offer a FREE WEEK OF UNLIMITED CLASSES, and I just can't help myself when FREE is involved. So, naturally, I signed up. What can I say, I'm hooked. I am. I feel better about myself when I'm dripping in sweat, I suppose. Try this, folks. Trust me. You just need to experience the first week and you'll be sold. So reviews you can use: Location: It's located on the back outer edge of Old Orchard Shopping Center, so parking is VERY convenient. INTERIOR: Seems small when you walk in, but this place has full-service locker rooms for men and women. The women's locker room has all you need. Lockers (must bring own lock), showers, bathrooms (duh), and...hair dryers, brushes, mousse, gel, hairspray, hair ties, bobby pins and cotton swabs. If you go before work or another engagement, you can ready yourself right there and then. Sweet. STUDIO: The studio is dedicated ONLY to hot yoga practice, so the rooms are set up with built in humidifiers. This is a plus, I've gone to other hot yoga classes when mini portable steam machines are used and its just not the same. INSTRUCTORS: Super nice. Emphasis on the nice. They are informative during class and assist you with positions when needed. They walk around the room during classes to check that everyone is in correct alignment and are extremely accommodating to those who need to regress to easier positions. Honest, I've been one of those people, so I know firsthand. I have to give a special shout out to the location manager J.S. (you know who you are). You're sweet, pleasant, understanding and an excellent instructor. Thank you. OTHER COMMENTS: THE LEMON/LAVENDER TOWELS!! Good Lawd. This, I recently learned, is unique to suburban locations only. At the end of each class, when you're not really sure you'll ever be able to walk again (or dry off the sweat for that matter) the instructor walks around a places an ice cold lemon/lavender towel on your forehead. After my first ever class, I teared up. No joke. It's orgasmic. I say that with all seriousness. Unlike smaller "non-corporate" studios, here you have to pay for towels and mats if you forget yours. So, if you're trying it for the free week, either borrow a mat from a friend and remember to bring a towel (and a bottle of water) or the FREE will be null and void. There's also apparel, mats, towels and lotions available for purchase. The prices are just as high as one would expect, so bring your money if you a ready to invest.

It seems like Yoga Sculpt is the more popular class of the two. I loved Yoga Sculpt! It combines weights, cardio, & yoga in one hour. It was definitely a tough workout, but I felt like I was definitely getting my time & money's worth. Both instructors were nice. Lou seems a bit calmer while Melissa seems to have more energy. For first timers, the first week is completely free. If you want to come back after that: -Usually you can find a Groupon deal or -The first month of membership is $99 or (After that I believe it jumps up to about $140) -Drop ins are $20 each or You can get a student/teacher discount with a valid ID. I love working out here, but it's quite pricey.

I feel that the class itself is a gift of so much more than just yoga. Cassie is so kind, gentle, and welcoming. What I enjoy the most though, is her knowledge in the areas of yoga, and the female body - especially in this delicate time. I learn something new in every class and always leave feeling refreshed, calmed, and further educated. I love the way we start most classes introducing ourselves and chatting a bit. All girls in this position have things they'd love to chat about w girls in a similar position, but sometimes need an ice breaker.

She does a good job modifying poses for beginners but it's every bit as challenging and intense as you want/make it. It's essentially preventative physical therapy for me and I can't recommend it enough. Also, Cydney the owner has done a great job with the studio.

The classes are small-group, allowing for chats before and after the session. For students who are seeking even more customized lessons, Shana offers one-on-one sessions in person. She has helped me address numerous issues related to mobility, posture, and pain over the past few years. I can't recommend her highly enough.

At yoga of all places?!? I arrived early to figure a log in issue, so I could sign up online. I had not been able to log into my account after attempting several times at home and also there. In front of the class she stated that there was something wrong with me, and not the computer. I'm tech savvy, it was the archaic website. Simply put -- I was there for yoga, not to be berated. Central Street Yoga is not a place to practice yoga if the owner does not care about exercising kindness to those who support her business, or anyone for that matter. This attitude exemplifies everything yoga is not. Unless she's in a good mood or likes you, her mission below is not in practice. Kindness wins every time. The world gets better when these small things are handled with grace, not hostility. Namaste.
