As a non-athletic mother of a middle-school athlete, I know that I needed to pay more attention to an area I often ignore: fitness but I was very intimidated. First, Cari and Cory made me feel SO comfortable and they weren't judgmental at all. (Embarrassment of my body kept me out of many yoga classes before). I took yoga for newbies. Even though I had actually taken 2 other yoga classes, this was the first time I actually UNDERSTOOD what I was doing. Cari was so patient and has a knack for describing the poses and breathing in non-Sanskrit terms! I enjoyed my experience so much I signed up for another class. My daughter has taken many classes from iGO Fitness. At first I wondered if the camp curriculum was too "loose", meaning I didn't recognize that they were doing lots of "drills". Then, when this was the only camp my daughter was EXCITED to go back to, I realized that Cory knew the secret sauce: kids have to have fun before they want to learn. Upon closer inspection, I can see how he hid the lessons inside games and activities. They thought they were playing when they were actually learning! Cari and Cory know how to work with kids and are great role models that you'd want your kids to look up to (no eating-disorder/steroid-using gym rats here!) If you want your young athlete to gain a competitive edge, they offer excellent development programs. They also offer general classes if you need to get your couch potato a little more active in the winter. (And definitely check out the yoga for yourself! Cari has classes for women and men!)

There are very experienced teachers teaching Anusara and Hatha, as well as a few other options. The teachers are very knowledgeable about yoga and therapeutics, and are comfortable working with a wide variety of ages, abilities, and injuries. Some classes feature a broad mix of ages and experience levels, yet thanks to very experienced teachers, the classes include everyone from beginners to yoga teachers, and everyone seems to be getting a lot out of it. The room is beautiful, with a worn wood floor, a view of the capital and tons of natural light. My own favorite teacher is Amie Heeter, who teaches "Hatha Flow" and prenatal classes. Amie is working on a Para Yoga certification, which uses postures, breath, meditation and other approaches. When I moved here from the bay area, there were many studios and classes to choose from, and it was hard to find what I needed here. I was used to faster-paced styles, but I quickly realized that Para Yoga was making me stronger, more flexible, and focused than I had been before. Many of the people at this studio have been coming here for years, yet the community is very welcoming. These are people who love yoga and want others to enjoy it too. If you are looking for something different than hot yoga, hope you'll come and try this out. I look forward to these classes every week.

I was very happy with my class. I'm from out of town and was in Madison for a busy long weekend, so…read moremy second criteria for finding a class was schedule. My first was a class that wasn't hot or really strenuous, and the Friday class I went to (Sage all level with Kristin Sage) was just right for me. The class wasn't too big, maybe six other people. We started out with the instructor reading a poem, followed by a gentle warm up. For all that most of the people in the class were probably retired, there were some suggested variations that were very difficult. The class ran over by about twenty minutes. Whenever I practice under a new instructor, I struggle a little with the cues and tempo. I periodically struggled with this class, but the instructor was very good both at elaborating the cues and providing quiet corrections. I enjoyed that the class was not silent--the instructor kept up an almost constant stream of description and encouragement. The space was airy, with some plants in the corners. If the class had been silent, the construction next door might have been a little disruptive, but it just added a bit of spice to the balance postures. I hope to be able to make it back next time I am in town.

This is an outstanding Iyengar Yoga studio. The instruction is expert, the classes are small, and the atmosphere is quite friendly. The studio is bright, clean, and attractive. There is a bathroom and a changing room. They have mats and props for students to use. This is a co-op so you pay the instructor directly (cash or check). There is a reduced fee for members of the co-op (anyone can join) and you can also get a ten class pass. If you haven't done Iyengar yoga before it would be good to take a level 1 class or a beginner's series. Also, you will probably be asked if you have any injuries or issues when you show up for class. Don't be put off by this; it is not meant to be intrusive! The teacher will modify postures specifically for whatever injures or limitations you might have to prevent any further injury and to help you recover. The instructors here helped me work on my handstand! I am looking forward to my next work trip to Madison so I can visit the studio again.

I've always preferred hot classes, Bikram style, like 105'F with 50%+ humidity. I'd love a good sweat and I found easier to relax and stretch in the heated environment. Learned there are 4 locations and Middleton was the one I attended. Initial impression was cute place with vibrant color. They offer showers and a waiting area to read/decompress with hot tea and filtered water. I signed up online and showed up for my 1st hot class. Parking wasn't hard and it was free. Walked upstairs and checked in at the counter. I saw members can get free towels; otherwise, it's $1 or $2 depending on the size. There were about 20 students in the class and I ended up towards the opposite side of the entrance which it isn't the best spot. I had a hard time hearing the instructor (no mic and loud music). Given it's my first class, I thought the instructor should ask who's there for the 1st time and if there were any injuries. No one asked so I just have to modify as needed due to my herniated spine. Given this is my 1st class in almost 2 years, I took it slowly and participated as much as I could which was still over 80% of the class time. I didn't sweat at all. The room was warm but definitely not hot or humid. My mat towel was dry which was different from all of my previous practices. I later found out the temperature was set to around 90'F and no one knows if a humidity level was turned on. I'm glad that I went as it was a good way to try out but I'll go back again to try a couple more classes before deciding if I want to be a member.
