This studio is right next to my house and the funny thing is that I had been completely unaware of…read moreits existence until a friend of mine (who actually lives in St. Charles!) told me about dance classes there. They offer various fitness and dance classes, and the instructors are great. I started first with attending ballet, since I had always wanted to try it, but very soon I realized that it was not my thing and I switched to salsa. Carlos Reyes, who is the owner of Mambo Revolution and a salsa/bachata/cha cha instructor, gives lessons there multiples times a week, and they are amazing! It would not be an exaggeration to say that I found my hobby! And they also have social events once a month. The thing which seemed inconvenient for me at Central Studio was that you need to buy a monthly pass and if you are out of town and can't attend some classes, then they "disappear". With Mambo Revolution it is different - you buy a pass for 4 classes and you can attend whenever you want. This is way more convenient for me with my busy way of live.

Both ladies give me a great but different workout and I feel so empowered by both these positive woman. I would highly recommend Boom Pilates, it's fun and also something new.

Session was good. They provided mats, blankets, and blocks. All I needed was my water bottle. I loved that this class was in the main room that faces the windows. Yiu get some natural light in there. It was a pretty decent full sized class. [ i miss full classes ] The practice style was a vinyasa which is the form I enjoy doing it felt good and glad they focused on shoulders as I needed it after paddle boarding last week. My only downfall and its not exactly their issue but, PARKING is not the best. I parked down the side st and this lady was not so kind to tell me i couldn't park there its clearly near the sign that says no parking on 2nd mo day. So just keep in mind, you may encounter neighbors that aren't happy where you park at. I wasnt even blocking anything either. I will still come back. Since I was chosen for 1 month of yoga. Plus they handed me another free tote with sticker and a coupon. Can't beat that!!

The classes are offered in a beautiful brick building (wood floors, big windows) on what I would consider the 'Main Street' of Lafayette Square. Plenty of parking in front of the studio or nearby. You have to travel through a small alley to get to the door (which is quite romantic... you can smell incense burning as you approach the studio's entrance). All of the instructors are friendly, helpful, and set a good pace for class. A couple of my friends enjoyed their experience with the studio so much they decided to complete the 'teacher training'! It's been fun to attend classes they host now to see how much their practice has developed!

If you're even questioning if you should drop in to a class at Southtown Yoga, the answer is YES…read more Beginner or advanced, ST Yoga gives a full yoga workout that will not only stretch you and relax you, but you'll also feel the burn. This week I went to a hot yoga class with my husband and his niece (she's a regular here) and although I've done regular yoga, glow yoga, aerial yoga, and yoga on the rocks, I had never done hot yoga so I was game. And I also hadn't done any form of yoga in quite a few months so I was a little weary since it wasn't clear what the ideal experience level was. We signed up online which makes the process quicker since you don't have to fill out any paperwork when you arrive. As soon as we got there we jumped in line, paid for our class ($7 cash/$10 card), kicked our shoes off, and found a space. The class filled up quickly so I'm willing to bet, late arrivals won't get in... which isn't a bad thing. I absolutely loved the studio we were in. The windows look out to Park Ave, but they do have a screen that blocks the sun from beaming down on you (I mean you're already going to be hot enough... you don't need the extra help). I like the whole design of ST Yoga in general. They updated just enough to make it comfortable like the nice finished bathrooms and changing areas, but they left a lot of the original features in tact like the wood floors and the large pane windows. What I love the most is that you enter ST Yoga through the back which takes you through this cute bricked alleyway... it truly feels like a secret that you're being let in on. So hot yoga. It was fast paced and hot. It was clear that it was going to be hot-hot and not just luke warm as soon as we walked in. I didn't mind it, but you'd be crazy if you didn't bring a water bottle (or two) with you. There is no pressure to push your body past it's limits, but more so to listen to your body and know when you can challenge yourself. And any reservations I had about going to a class that could potentially be an advanced class were washed away when I realized any advanced moves instructions were accompanied by instructions for modifications. 100% recommend! This was a fantastic workout that was both challenging and meditative. All of the staff was helpful and welcoming. Oh and they start off their Om's with this little accordion type instrument (different than any studio I've been to, but everyone was on the same key so it sounded beautiful). ST Yoga is a great place for any level yogi and they offer a range of different classes along with some pop up events so you can really find your niche at this studio.

She is effortless in her teaching, and speaks as if she's a friend guiding your body from shape to shape. There's no pretense to her presence, just authenticity and a true passion for what she does. I moved away from a very strong yoga practice and community back home at a studio I adore, and this place already feels like home away from home. The practice space: Thoughtfully appointed with a laid back feel, it's a perfect space to flow. The ceilings are tall, light is abundant, and there's plenty of wall space for an end-of-class legs up the wall savasana. Juicy. Lots of plants and greenery, plus wood and gauzy curtains that lend a very breezy energy. At a glance appears to have space for 15-20 mats (give or take). Logistics: There's one restroom shared by a few wellness businesses in the communal hallway. Entry to the space requires walking up a flight up stairs - there's no elevator that I've been able to find. Parking: Ample street parking - and directly across from Schnucks, so it's perfect to get some weekend or evening grocery shopping done after class. Extras: The community seems to interact with one another and know each others names and faces. Very friendly studio, options galore. Lots of options given and all levels of experience in class. Can't wait to keep coming back again and again!
