I have been practicing and teaching yoga for approximately 20 years, and this was, without…read morequestion, the worst experience I have ever had in a yoga studio. I drove nearly an hour from Katy and paid $40 to attend a class with Wayne. The class started late, and approximately 15 minutes into it, Wayne STOPPED THE ENTIRE CLASS to chastise me in front of everyone because I was modifying some of the movements to protect my back and listening to my own body. I was not disrupting the class. I was not interfering with anyone else's practice. I was practicing variations of the movements being taught. Instead of simply allowing me to modify, offering an alternative, or speaking to me privately, Wayne became visibly angry, removed my personal belongings from the room, and told me to leave in front of the entire class. I was stunned. Yoga is not Simon Says. A teacher is there to guide a practice, not demand that every body in the room move identically regardless of what feels safe or appropriate for that individual. "Listen to your body" and "eyes on your own mat" are principles I have encountered throughout decades of practicing and teaching yoga. I have never experienced an instructor react with this level of hostility because a student chose to modify. What makes the situation even more troubling is that Wayne is apparently the owner, so when I attempted to contact the studio afterward to address what happened, the studio number routed directly back to him. I drove an hour. I paid $40. The class started late. And approximately 15 minutes into the class, I was publicly chastised, had my belongings removed from the room, and was told to leave. In 20 years of yoga, I have never been treated this way in a studio.

Instructor, Olga, was great and we focused on deep stretches that left me feeling renewed, which was especially helpful as I did HIIT exercises five days this week. There were a few things that I did not like which is why I'm skeptical of returning. First, there was absolutely no music. Every other yoga studio I've been to has, at minimum, played some sort of meditation or relaxing music. I'm someone who needs some kind of noise at all time, so I did not like the silent atmosphere. Additionally, the windows were kept open for the majority of the class, so the outside noise was coming through and was very distracting at times. The studio itself was very nice and well kept, but I noticed there weren't any mirrors in the room where the yoga class was held. I, personally, like to see myself in a mirror to ensure that I'm doing the poses correctly, so I found the lack of mirrors to be annoying. Otherwise, it was a great experience! The receptionist in the front was very kind and helpful. While I probably won't do another yoga class here, I am interested in trying out their Pilates classes!

The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, which include a walking path, pond and large green fields which transport you to another realm. The center is led by English speaking Vietnamese Buddhist Nuns, and one American nun. Meditation class in English meets on Thursdays at 7 PM. The year is full of cultural events and as an involved student, you will learn more about yourself, practice different types of meditation (walking and sitting) and with a little practice reap the benefits of finding your inner happiness.

I owe it to DYC, that I am flexible, and stronger in my forties than I was in my twenties. The center is genuinely dedicated to helping people of diverse abilities attain their finest potential for that day-- a true non-profit in practice and spirit. Now comes the most important part, that is the Yoga teacher. At the Devanand Yoga center we have a master teacher who has honed his practice and teaching through the years and attained a deep knowledge and understanding of Hatha yoga. He is creative with his routines, humble and compassionate in his approach, and safe in his technique. As opposed to other studios, he practices with his class and knows how far and how long to hold. He uses humor to make everyone feel included in their yoga journey. This is crucial in a practice such as yoga, that it cultivate fitness in a NON-COMPETITIVE manner. Perfection is not the aim here and one competes with no one. We are encouraged to close our eyes while we practice. At the same time, very easily the yoga routines at DYC challenge the body.. work up a sweat, and leave you exhilarated. There is a great emphasis on internalizing body awareness, alignment, and tuning in to our selves as we move. Finally, each routine is different.. has been different for the last several years. Forget sameness, have no set expectation before a class. Unroll a mat and be prepared to discover. Pause and just relax in between if you want to. Take a break. Last but not the least, PROPS. From time to time, the teacher introduces straps, weights, chairs and the use of yoga room walls to enable a student to reach farther and experience deeper stretching. If this is what you are looking for come in and practice. Close your eyes so you see no one else but follow only your breath and the lucid instruction of the yoga teacher.

I decided this would be a good start for me and since the center is so close to my home I have no reason to not go. I went to my first class yesterday and it was a packed room but there was enough space for everyone. I was a little tense before arriving because I had a pretty hectic day. As soon as I stepped into the center I felt a sense of calm. Rafael is absolutely amazing and very kind. He explained every position that we were in. He was very good at showing us how to pay attention to our bodies. He emphasized numerous times that this is not a race you do only what your body allows you to do. He had no problem walking around the room to make sure we were doing our best in each pose and he has an amazing sense of humor which is very soothing. I am definitely looking forward to my next class with everyone. I am very happy I came across this place and I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in yoga whether you are a beginner or advanced you will appreciate the class.

So on the one hand this is an expensive but awesome yoga place with all kinds of other things on offer in a beautiful building in the heart of the north part of downtown which is absolutely lovely. However there's a dark side. The dark side is that this entire building is surrounded by dozens and dozens of homeless people, on some days it's closer to being in the hundreds. With all of these great facilities in downtown Houston - some of them not being used and some of them only being partially used - you'd think it's a boomtown which in many ways it is, and then you have all these people laying in the freezing cold outside through Houston winter, which is actually much much colder than it sounds because it does get icy some nights out here. So for that reason it's hard to stomach, but I still recommend giving them a try for their products and services, which are a little overpriced for my taste but with excellent people working here.

My friend brought me to Salt Power Yoga just over a month ago. My first class was "happy hour yoga"…read more- 60 min yoga with Wendy, followed by happy hour snacks and drinks. I felt this sense of belonging. I didn't know anyone but I felt right at home. The instructors genuinely want and try to get to know each of us and make us feel appreciated as a member of the Salt Power community. Each instructor has similar style and poses/flow moves, but adds their own unique flare. Some classes are instructed with music, but most are silent and all you can hear is your breathing. My single, most favorite thing about Salt Power is the inclusion and the warmth (figuratively, not literally though it is ~90F). No matter each individual's place in their practice, the instructors always make sure to express to everyone that whatever they are doing is accepted and amazing. Personally, I respond well to positive affirmation so I really appreciate this. If I don't have a pose, but it is recognized that I am working on it, it encourages me to try harder. It's not everybody's style, but it sure is mine! If you haven't checked out Salt Power and are unsure about committing to a place to practice, you can check out their Happy Hour class because it is donation based and you really get a sense of the community. Every class I go to, I make at least one new friend, but usually more. In addition, they have an awesome promotion where the first 30 days are only $30. That's the equivalent of 2 drop-ins. What a steal. I am so happy I found Salt Power and I am so excited for my journey with them.
