The studios at all locations are very clean and they offer a variety of classes. I personally like power yoga because it's a little bit more challenging, as far as increasing strength. I would definitely recommend trying!

My reason for few stars is…read morebecause halfway during the session, the music changed to hip-hop (specifically Better by Khalid) and then on to other upbeat music. As much as I enjoy Khalid's music, this doesn't really make for a very relaxing time, at least for me it doesn't. I was really perplexed, and after that I wasn't able to re-center myself and focus on being in the moment. My next issue is that I don't think they clean the rental mats between uses. I say this because when I returned my rented mat, the employee took it and placed it exactly in the pile where they first got it for me, not a separate "used/to be cleaned" pile. It was a bit concerning. Still debating if I should go back or not.

I have been a member of this studio for 5+ years and have learned so much. The staff has been very…read moreinclusive and helpful throughout my time there. The smell that is mentioned in other reviews has gone down dramatically since all participants are required to use 2 towels to practice. (Guess what makes a Yoga Studio Smell?... the answer is you.) I have had to stop a few times for medical reasons, and each time I come back they welcome me back with open arms. I personally would suggest a private lesson after you have been practicing for a month. I would also think about doing another one every year if not 6 months as you continue to grow and change what you need to focus on.

Yoga for you is a great little studio, very bare bones. Things I like include the owner, the…read morelending library, the water bubbler and the utility bathroom with the big sink. Also, it's nicely tucked away in a cool basement spot. Drawbacks to this include the coldness in the wintertime and the difficult to find location. I don't particularly like that the teacher sits on a stool in the middle of the front mirror, because it takes up mirror space in an already crowded room. There is plenty of parking in the lot across the street. Which brings me back to the difficult to find situation. Address is on Centre St. The studio is actually only accessible from Corey St (the one that has the lot on it). Traveling east on Centre St., take a right on Corey. The lot is one block down on the left and the studio is at the back of the lot on the other side of the street (which Yogis are not allowed to park in). Good luck finding it and when you do, relax, get sweaty and enjoy yourself!

And on-site parking -- definitely a plus.

Ellen has a wide range of knowledge about the human body, from her training not just as a yoga teacher, but also as Nurse. I always feel that the more Vinyasa Yoga classes I take, the more questions I have! Ellen helped me with the proper alignment for my body and range of flexibility. She also showed me some pointers to help with specific postures that made me feel I was really getting the pose for the first time. Great experience, great teacher.

She teaches you how by bringing yoga into your everyday life, you will start to live and deal with life's problems in a calm, serene way. Every class I take with Tatyana I learn something new and she is very much in tune to any physical injuries her students have had or are dealing with at the present moment. She includes alternate ways to ensure that certain poses can still be done if an injury keeps you from performing the regular pose. I recommend you attend one of Tatyana's classes, you will walk out of feeling enlightened and will say to yourself, "can't wait to take another one of Tatyana's classes"....

I've been to one class so far, but I can tell from the energy of the space that it will be a good fit for me. The class I attended, on Saturday morning, was both restorative and challenging, the perfect mix to shake off the week and cleanse up for the weekend. The instructor's assists were well timed and perfectly aimed at my needs. She also finished off with a nice aromatherapy touch during savasana, including a great neck and shoulder stretch that was much needed. Thanks, Renee!!! Pricing is more than fair, and there's a reasonable availability of props. Try it, you will be pleased!
