--- "Airyoga's redemption" ---…read more This time I paid a visit to the Fabrikstrasse location. I reserved a Yin yoga class with one of the most popular instructors, Frank. Actually, I had to book online with a week advance... yes, this guy seems to be THAT popular. And for a reason! But let's not get ahead of myself. The tiny reception area is nice. It has a special, personal, cozy feeling to it. Man, it got packed in no time! The studio is also beautiful, larger than the one on Oberdorfstrasse, with big windows. All props are neatly arranged and complimentary (including mats). With maybe twenty four yogis and yoginis taking the class, the room was full but not to the point of being uncomfortable. Now, I'm thorn for what I have to say now because it is already so difficult to book a class with Frank, but he is a truly gifted instructor. His class was divine! He showed a level of professionalism and care it's difficult to come across this days. He kept going around the room gently correcting or perfecting everyone's asanas and making sure everyone stayed safe. He even volunteered a couple of tips for me at the end of the practice! I can wholeheartedly recommend his class to anyone, I became his instant fan :) At the end of the class there is a small table in the reception area with complimentary refreshments: still water, water with natural mint leaves, tea, dried fruits, nuts and whole wheat cookies. It was a very different experience compared to the one I had at the other studio and I'm looking forward to my next class.

Beforehand this, I am a yoga-newbie, else no expert in yoga itself or in yoga-studios in Zurich or…read moreelsewhere. You just get my impressions on how I experienced my first yoga lessons at the Sleepy Yogi Studio. My yoga instructor is Christina and I think I could not have chosen better. I guess to start with yoga is not an easy thing, as with all new things it needs a bit of self-discipline, but Christina makes it easy for you to dive into the world of yoga. She explains and demonstrates all the exercises (asanas, breath, meditation, etc) carefully, corrects gently postures where needed, which muscles are used, how it should feel, and when to be cautious with more demanding exercises to avoid any strains. Don't get misleaded by the Sleepy Yogi in the name, the exercises are anything else than sleepy, at least for me! The studio itself is located in a nice round building and offers two rooms, one for the yoga and one changing room, both with wooden floors. In short: a boutique kind of a yoga studio. Enjoy!

Having just moved from New York to Zürich one of my main concerns was to find a place where I could…read morecontinue doing yoga but more importantly feel a connection with the instructor. My first impression after two weeks going to classes was that this place had become a "home" away from home and that every single day spent there was a big gift. The studio is lovely, clean and well structured. Classes are done according to each instructors style however, they will always ask what are our main concerns and apply lessons that will certainly make you feel good and thankful after. Plus you will learn so much about our bodies and how everything is interconnected. I was able to find all of these elements plus a wonderful team - Christina, Florie, Nicole and Anja are all amazing instructors - the perfect balance!

WORST YOGA CLASS EVER! This is not a studio you want to go to. Very rude and unwelcoming…read moreinstructors. Or rather, just one of the instructors, Monica, was very rude to me. The class was too slow, with no music, it wasn't much of a work out, and a lot of deep stretching- even though it was called a "flow class." I was ok with trying something different. No modifications were given for this deep stretching, so I made my own a few times when I wanted to. I was in the back of the class and bothered no one. Of all people, a yoga instructor should know you need to listen to your body. The instructor (who you pay, let's remember) is just a guide. She was very unprofessional and called me out in the middle of class as being "irritating." I was shocked. Can you imagine how hypocritical (to say all this "namaste" stuff and be so rude) and unprofessional that is!? I told her afterwards she should have spoke to me after class, and that she was responsible herself for feeling irritated for something that is completely uncalled for. She never apoligized and I think she is the biggest hyprocrit talking about compassion and peace, when she showed none to me, when I did not know "the rules." (Which I think is bogus, just because an instructor tells you to do a pose, if it doesn't feel right, don't do it. You're paying her, and it's supposed to be fun afterall). YOGA studio or not (above all this shouldn't be happening in a yoga studio), IT'S NEVER OKAY TO BELITTLE SOMEONE.

Both studios are located in the city of Zurich, one in Kreis 4 and the other in Kreis 8. The studios both have showers and are very clean.

There are different classes depending on the level of fitness and experience.. Last but not least, there is always good music in the studio, so you always leave the classes energized and in a good mood.

I would say you need to be fit to a certain extent to start training here, but then you get incredible results in a short time. Also check out the videos on their website or Facebook page to see what to expect, as this not a traditional Reformer class, but still one of the best kinds of training I tried. I got on very well with the instructors, too, who always helped me whenever I needed correction, I liked the music and the atmosphere as well and after each and every training I felt that I improved a little. Will definitely go back when I'm in Zurich again.

However, as I heard many friends racing about Soulcycle and other similar cycling classes I decided to try out Velocity during a rare health kick. I was a bit intimidated at first because most people looked like they just walked out of a Lululemon catalog but WOW! This class is amazing, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and even though I wanted to give up every two seconds somehow the teacher managed to convince me to push through for 50 mins. I know I shouldn't but I love the fact that all classes are given in flawless English! Also, not only the locker/changing/bathroom are squeaky clean (which is a must for me), they offer super nice toiletries in the showers. Any place who manages me to convince to work out more than two times in a row deserves five stars!

Overall cycle class was good and you will get a workout. But if you are used to Flywheel or Soulcycle vibes/speed, Velocity from my experience is not difficult. I would go back again if I was in the city to get a quick workout if I didn't want to go to a hotel gym. But if I was to decide if I should buy a package of classes, I would not recommend. Other than the classes not being that hard, the cycle room wasn't up to the caliber of other high end studios for the price.
