I will follow Anna and Georgia anywhere! I had the pleasure of attending yoga classes led by these two women at other places, and I fell in love with their teaching style and sequencing. Anna has since opened SageHouse Yoga in Carmel, and Georgia is teaching here, along with a number of other great instructors. How wonderful to have a yoga studio with such amazing people leading it!
SageHouse is a beautiful space, with three different rooms designed for different types of yoga. They offer hot yoga and regular (unheated) yoga, which is great. My personal preference is regular unheated yoga, which I would have signed up for but the class was booked very quickly. So I took a heated class, which was held in the Sun Room, where the temperature was set to around 100 degrees. Georgia was our instructor.
I have never sweated so much during a hot yoga class in my life! I loved the class, and left feeling purified and light as a feather. Georgia is such a great instructor -- she challenged us but also constantly reminded us that this was our practice, and we could take a break or modify if we needed to.
One thing to keep in mind, if you take a hot yoga class here: If the class is full (which is probably will be), the mats will be very close together! They have tape on the floor to indicate where mats should be placed, and there is no extra room to spread your arms out. It is what it is. I'm used to practicing in a space where there is more room between me and my neighbor, so it was a little different to be so close to everyone.
One of the things that I loved about the hot yoga class at SageHouse is that during savasana, they put a cold towel over your eyes, if you want. (And if you don't want, you can indicate that by putting your hands on your body.) It felt so nice to feel that coolness on my face as I relaxed after an intense class.
I'm definitely returning to SageHouse Yoga to take more classes! What a great space to practice yoga, with great teachers to guide you along the way. read more
