I felt calmer and more flexible after! I could also tell there's a real sense of community there - the other members knew each other and knew Jyoti well.

Really enjoyed a recent class with Kennedi at Mind the Mat's Clarendon location (on Fairfax Drive…read morein Arlington). You can tell she has a dance background, and it shows in how well she paces the class and how clear her cueing is. She paid close attention to form throughout, which I always appreciate in a pilates class, and her music selection was great too. Looking forward to catching her class again! The location is also a real plus -- right in the Clarendon-Ballston corridor, equidistant from both the Clarendon and Virginia Square metro stops. And the 4pm Sunday time slot is great: it lets you sleep in on the weekend and still get your workout in. Starting the week having already met an exercise goal really helps me set the right tone going into Monday.

In an effort to check out some of the gyms in the NOVA area, I enrolled in a free trial of Class…read morePass and started taking some of the classes at studios I was always curious about. Over the holidays I tried a hot pilates class with friends, so I started giving a few studios a try. Initially, when I saw Mind the Mat offered a HAWT Pilates for Beginners, I was ESTATIC. However upon further review of the HAWT Pilates class offering, the description said the class wasn't really for beginners. So sadly I opted not to enroll in any classes BUT THEN(!!) MTM had the awesome idea to offer a beginner version and I enrolled immediately (at least I think it's fairly new)! When I arrived at the studio there were multiple classes going on and the "lobby" area was full of classgoers coming and going into various classes. The beginner instructor, Erika, called for all newbies to head over to the studio where class was offered - which was great because there was no front desk staff. Once in the room you were immediately embraced with the muggy temperature that hot classes are known for. I put my items into a free cubby and started setting up. This class was completely full so we were all comfortably close. Erika came around and checked us in as we started setting up so that class could begin on time. The class itself was AMAZING. Although lots of classes sometimes say they are beginner friendly, it can be hard to learn the fundamentals. What I loved about beginner HAWT pilates is it really walked up through the different movements and taught us how to breathe correctly and what it means to scoop your belly. I can say with certainty I was doing it all wrong before! Although the class wasn't the most challenging it was EXCELLENT for beginners and is the perfect introduction to pilates. Erika was very friendly and was able to offer corrections to everyone and ensure you were truly learning. I can't say enough positive things about the class and studio! My only "negatives" are that 1. There is no water for purchase so should you forget a bottle you're out of luck and 2. I wish the beginner's class was offered on more days and times. Nonetheless I highly recommend the studio and have had a blast at the classes I have attended! Thanks Erika and MTM!

I tried Hot Yoga Tyson's and unfortunately, the vibe just wasn't there for me…read more Before class even started, the instructor asked if I had done hot yoga before. I shared that I've practiced hot yoga many times at CorePower Yoga, but he immediately shut that down by saying they're "not the same." After actually taking the class, I don't agree, between the temperature, humidity, and sequence of movements, it felt very similar. The dismissive response rubbed me the wrong way and honestly made me less excited going into what was supposed to be my first 60-minute class with him. The studio itself also felt pretty old and dingy. It doesn't have the modern, clean, welcoming feel that I'm used to at CorePower. Overall, it seemed to cater more toward an older crowd and a very traditional, no-frills hot yoga style. Personally, I missed the motivating and encouraging energy from instructors, as well as the music and upbeat atmosphere that make classes feel more engaging for me. This studio might work well for people who prefer a very classic, straightforward hot yoga experience, but it just wasn't the right fit for me.

I made two of my girlfriends come with me and we signed up for the Vinayasa on Wednesday at 6:30PM. As i entered the studio i felt a welcome from the guy at the front desk. The lounge area is inviting and also clean. I had to fill up some paper work since i was a first time student. The yoga instructor was Karen, she was welcoming and told us to get some mats, blocks, and blankets. The class was what i expected from a Vinayasa class as it focuses on slow movement and deep stretching. At the end of the class during the Savasana , karen walked around and gave some lavender oil as its calming and help to slow down and relax during the meditation period. I enjoyed the class, Karen was helpful and knowledgeable . Definitively recommend this studio

Soulfireee is out here hosting fire classes…read more Here's what I loved, + loved the heated room + enjoyed the flow and thought it was intermediate (not super hard, but a beginner might be a bit confused about what's going on) + NO MIRRORS (loveeeee this) + staff was super friendly, she even made me a cute welcome note and added a papaya to it, which if you know me that is often how I introduce myself ... "Kaya like papaya" + parking wasn't too bad because it's a large retail area + loved the blue moody lighting during class What I didn't love as much ... + it was hard for me to locate the studio. Wish they put info about where they're located in the email confirmation for class (and if I missed it, maybe making it a little more clear) + Back room where the weights are found was a bit messy which makes me wonder if everything is being cleaned properly but at least they had wipes available for everyone. When I have more time in my schedule I will definitely do their 2 weeks unlimited and maybe even get a package once I try more instructors. Everyone seems pretty well versed and like I can learn from them. Thanks Soulfire Collective team :)
