I had a lovely experience here yesterday morning for a HIIT Pilates class…read more First, I want to say that the branding and social media of the studio is excellent and definitely gave me genuine and welcoming vibes before I even step foot inside. There seem to be a good variety of classes and I was excited to take this morning one. I was greeted warmly by the instructor who had me fill out a waiver, and showed me the cubbies where I could store my belongings and the free water station. I grew to feel even more welcomed, just being in the space as she was so friendly, and the aesthetics were very warm, lit by the yellow neon lights. I also noticed a kids play area which is a thoughtful touch. The studio itself was beautiful with a large mirror and windows for plenty of natural light. There were small cork blocks, 3lb weights, Pilates circles, and stretching straps available. The class moved rhythmically, with the instructor clearly demoing each move and sequence then going around the room to encourage and adjust. It was such a relaxing, yet engaging way to start my day, especially paired with afro beats like Kaytranada and ALUNA in the background. Afterwards, we could spray and clean our props used. Mats were free my first time but I believe are for rent afterwards so bring your own and come try a class here!

The professional dancer may not be challenged, but the choreography is set where you can add your flourishes if you want to spice it up. It's a very clean and serene space. It's currently on ClassPass but I'm sure you can book a drop in class. Not sure the price on that. I look forward to taking more classes as an amateur dancer who just wants to move and get some blood flowing.

Generally, the studio seems like a nice neighborhood dance studio for kids who like dance as a hobby. My instructor teaches a preteen ballet class before jazz, and the students seem nice and happy. I've met the owner, and I haven't seen her teach, but she did seem friendly and dedicated. Mostly, I wanted to alert people to the existence of the jazz class. Bill is a great teacher: he takes your development seriously, but creates an environment in which you're comfortable trying new things. And he has some great stories. The class itself is a good workout, and for combinations, Bill's choreography is accessible, but really stylish, so beginners can learn the same things as everyone else and look cool, and advanced students can push to get the lines and pacing exactly right and feel challenged while still having fun. The class size thus far has been TINY, so you have room to move, and you don't feel weird asking questions.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Kristen's class has completely changed my relationships with…read moreexercise, my body, and my neighborhood. I started coming to her YBB class at Heartbeat House about a year and a half ago, and right away, I fell in love with the atmosphere she created--it wasn't just about working out, but also about spirituality, community, and feeling good in our own skin. Each class begins with time for students to share good news or ask for support, which immediately sets the tone for a different kind of workout experience and brings us closer together. From there, we do some Kundalini yoga to get our energy flowing, set an intention, and then start dancing! Kristen always introduces herself to new students and lets them know that class is totally non-competitive, which I think is a big part of why even the less experienced among us feel comfortable really going for it. This past weekend, I had a private birthday class with Kristen, and it was an amazing experience. Kristen was so easy to work with: she answered all my questions quickly, encouraged requests for favorite moves, and let me create my own playlist. One of the main reasons I wanted to do a YBB class for my birthday was because I wanted to bring together my different groups of friends and loved ones (from 20-somethings to my 50-something parents) but worried that they wouldn't know what to say to each other. Dance seemed like the perfect bonding experience, and it really was! I was so impressed by how kind Kristen was to all the people I brought to the class, and how she seemed to adjust her moves depending on how lost or tired they seemed. Everyone told me what a great time they had and how much they loved Kristen for her dance skills and her generosity. What surprised me most about the class was how much Kristen customized it to fit me, and how much celebration of me there was, from having people write messages to me during the intention-setting part of class to having everyone dance in a circle around me during the end of the cardio part. I'm kind of shy and not great at being the center of attention, but it was really touching to look around at my friends and family and just let myself soak up the love. It was so sweet of Kristen to give me that gift. Long story short, Kristen is AMAZING! Her class will make you feel pretty awesome.

Trust me, I have done them all (except for Crossfit because that s--- looks like a good way to tear something and spend the next five years in pain before you have to have surgery) Anyway, I started Kristen's classes in 2011 and thought I was walking into a normal yoga class. NO! I WAS WRONG AND IT WAS THE BEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!! Kristen's class feels like going to a club and dancing all your stress out with your friends for hours (its actually like 1.5 hours) but you didn't have to buys crappy drinks with Red Bull to get the dance frenzy going. This class is great cardio. For my BFF's bachelorette party, all the bridesmaids went a YBB/ DISKQUO to get the party started! (Party ended with my face in some pumpkin flavored waffles, so it all balanced out) Going to a dance class sounds intimidating... But I have followed Kristen two three studios. Why? Because the moves are very easy to follow and you kinds just lose yourself. Also, no one in the class is a mini Baryshnikov, so I extol you... GO!!!! DANCE WITH THE SPIRIT OF MICHAEL FLATLY INSIDE YOU!* GET RID OF YOUR BLAHS! GET YOUR DANCE! ON DANCE! DAAAAHHHNCE! *Apparently, the lord of the dance had a few illegitimate children which were the subject of some interesting court cases. No pun was intended. DANCE!

My first review got flagged for negative cultural references - Yelp doesn't make it clear which…read moreones so I'm reposting with my best guess at what was objectionable removed: This review is specifically for their sunset rooftop yoga class at The Local Hostel, this is the only class I've taken with them, and after an extremely stressful day I wanted to do some yoga in the sunshine, bought my $25 ticket online, and made my way over. The vibe was weird from the moment I stepped onto the roof. There was man sitting on the edge of the front desk with my yoga instructor and it wasn't clear if he was an employee of Cosmic or the hostel; he was smoking a blunt and kept talking about how chill the vibe was but didn't make me feel chill. It wasn't a real conversation, he kept telling me to relax, to look at all the people and see how relaxed they were, and every time I tried to speak he would talk over me with more stoned nonsense. I just wanted to check in, so I put my phone onto the table and made extended eye contact with the woman instructor. She asked for my name and email, which I did NOT want to give with this weird rando hovering close enough to touch me. I smiled and held up my phone, and she asked again. Great looking out. I reluctantly gave my info, took a yoga mat as far from anyone as possible, and got myself set up. I got up to use the bathroom, and the same man asked, "Leaving already?! Where you goin?!" To the bathroom dude, I'm going to empty my bladder, please leave me alone. The yoga area is separated from the lounge area for hostel guests, and during the class it became clear he wasn't an employee of Cosmic, but just a random dude who decided to insert himself into the class and the instructor wasn't able to control him. He was dancing in the lounge section by himself, periodically yelling things like, "Release the dragon!" It was annoying and out of place. The instructor started the class with "Well now that summer is almost over" and the audible grown from the people there facing another COVID winter with new mask and vaccine mandates was enough to make her backtrack and say, "We're at the height summer". Don't start a class with negativity like that. As for the yoga itself, the sound system they used had some feedback and quality issues, the roof isn't flat but has lumps and curves that make lying flat or balancing on one foot extremely challenging. The instructor seemed like she was still getting her sea (roof?) legs with her routine, direction, and confidence, which I don't mind, everyone starts somewhere and she was making an effort, that's what counts to me. What was less comfortable was encouraging people to video and photograph and tag the gym on social media during the class. On the one hand, this is how businesses get promoted. On the other, I don't want dudes getting up to take "promotional videos" of my downward dog that I didn't consent to. Also, can we please put the phones away for a YOGA CLASS, if no where else, and unplug during this time? Maybe the biggest disappointment besides the creeper was the fact that they didn't schedule their class to coordinate with the sunset, the surrounding buildings block it. We had 15 minutes of sun before it set behind the buildings and a chilly shadow descended on the roof. So.....this wasn't a sunset yoga class, this was a post-sunset/twilight yoga class. Not what I would have signed up for. I'm giving three stars only because this is not a review for the venue itself, they had to work with the hostel who didn't build their roof for yoga and who don't have control over what their guests do (if the dude was even a guest, I really don't know). But I really hated my experience.

SARAH, the security guard is a predator!!!!…read more I went to House of Yes last night for Futch, a lesbian dance party. I been a couple times before and met Sarah there. She was always so friendly and flirty with me. Last night I came with my new partner. As soon as we walked in, she was standing nearby and she looked angry seeing us together. The rest of the night, all I could feel were her eyes on me from afar. At one point, she passed by me and secretly caressed my ass. I felt very uncomfortable and asked my partner if we could leave right after. I didn't feel safe asking for a manager to report her as she's already a supervisor security there. This is supposed to be a safe space and I DID NOT FEEL SAFE!!! Apparently from another person there, she gets "around" with girls there and even denied someone entry because they were no longer together. I would think she would be more respectful and keep it professional. I DID NOT CONSENT FOR HER TOUCHING ME LAST NIGHT!!! It's gross to think this is their employer. I will no longer be going back and neither will some of my other friends. It sucks, I really loved that party.
