I usually spend Christmas week with my family in St. Louis. Until this year, there were only three…read moreyoga studios that taught hot yoga: two Bikram studios and one that taught vinyasa. I really hate vinyasa with a passion and I wasn't too gone on the Bikram studio that I had tried before. So, I was thrilled to find Prana Yoga after some googling. Prana Yoga is tucked in an unassuming strip mall in the northern suburb of Des Peres. (So, don't worry about parking because its plentiful.) Prana was founded by a couple of Bikram certified yoga instructors who wanted to teach yoga styles other than Bikram. I took class the 90 minute Prana Hot Yoga class from the owners Mary Jane Cusumano and Melanie Zuanich on two separate occassions. As you would expect, you do some, but not all of the Bikram series and some new yoga poses in a heated room. You also do a bit of "core" work which reminded me of CorePower. The instructor doesn't actually demonstrate any of the postures and there is a little podium at the front of the room. This was reminiscent of Bikram but that's where the similarities ended. The instructor does not bark orders at you and doesn't wear a wireless mic. There is a hardwood floor and no stinky carpet. Check-in was welcoming and friendly. Your second class is free and if you take their Prana Hot class you get free towels in the changing room. The changing room is HUGE so you don't have to worry about bumping into people. There are no lockers in the changing room though. Overall, the studio is very clean. You can tell that the owners actually takes pride in the way it looks. Prana is a great place to practice if you are looking for an alternative to the St. Louis Bikram.

There's something fun about doing yoga in a garage.

Big Bend Yoga is basically a little house whose attached garage was remodeled to fit lots of bendy and trying to be bendy bodies. I've been both bendy and non bendy in the Center, depending upon how often I attended class. I've taken classes with nearly every instructor and though all their methods are different, I found all of them very calming and helpful. They are always eager to help you modify your poses due to injury and work around painful habits in order to free up your body. There is a massage room or two in the place, though I've never had any done here. Classes are $12, though you get a discount for buying a card.

I love that they have two studios and a schedule that's easy to follow - same times during the weekdays/weekends. There is just that one thing... this location is right next to Soho Lounge, which really only matters when you're doing a class, let's say the Happy Hour class on Friday night, and shavasana is less silent corpse pose, more bass shaking walls. My solution would be to either play some music, or skip shavasana all together and maybe do a restorative pose - I mean it is supposed to be happy hour, right? Oh, and in a different class, the instructor was playing Christian music, which I didn't think was appropriate/made any sense.

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!
