I have been doing yoga for close to thirty years. probably 40 different instructors or more. Every…read moreexperience left me feeling uplifted and glad I had gone with the exception of the hot yogalaties class at this location. I had been to the location a couple of years before and was happy with it. The problem started at the beginning when the instructor gave a passionate plea to speak up about all the awful stuff going on in the country. I ignored it. To be fair I was happy with the class tempo, music, and degree of difficulty. The class ended with a repeat of political activism and shaming if you might not hold those same opinions. I quietly left class but the instructor was at the desk as I put on my coat. I quietly told her I know she noticed I left early, and that I was used to yogis that left us uplifted with quotes from poets, philosophers , or other yogis. That I felt she was giving a political lecture. She vehemently said " Yoga is political". But i feel it is spiritual not political, or at least should be. I was a drop in so maybe the members like this but if you plan on going to this location just be for warned. I was so put off and mad instead of the feeling of love and peace yoga has brought me over the years.

I don't usually leave reviews (I know I should more for the businesses I love) but felt the need to…read moreafter seeing Stephanie S.'s review. Not only is her review very misleading (because I was there at said class) but she wasn't honest about her behavior (which was embarrassing for her). Every class begins and ends with motivational quotes. Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Just because something isn't relevant to her life (how lucky) doesn't mean it isn't for someone else. She did not leave quietly, I got to hear her huff & puff and leave class early. I thought that was the end of it but she waited out in the lobby to confront the instructor & raised her voice enough about her Asian American family that came here "the right way" (crazy to assume someone else didn't) that she had to be asked to leave. Now I attend Bruna's class almost every week & always leave feeling empowered & strong. She is an amazing instructor & knows her stuff & I see it every class with how many members love her & look forward to her class. Anyways we love you Bruna & I will always recommend her & all the instructors at Midlo Hot Yoga & Wellness.

Coconut Elephant Yoga is new on the scene, but the instructors are well qualified and have great…read moreexperience. Classes currently include Beginner, Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, Flow, and Vinyasa/Pilates. The space is comfortable, with a beautiful original mural as a focal point on one wall. The studio offers the usual bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets, and loaner mats. The studio is quiet (no normal street noise can be heard, although the very occasional fire truck may go by) and the music that accompanies the lessons is in the background but all around you, thanks to the great sound system. Co-owner Kellee is a gem of a yoga instructor -- challenging yet caring, focused yet nurturing. She has taught in several other studios (I have taken lessons from her for four years or so) as well as yoga classes in corporate settings. Kellee customizes her lessons to fit the students' abilities and needs. Alternative versions of postures and poses are introduced as the session progresses to aid those who may have difficulty with the "right" way to achieve the position. She keeps your mind on controlled breathing, focused attention, and peace in the knowledge that you are perfect in the moment, even if you cannot sustain a balance pose as long as everyone else. By the time the class is over, your mind is refreshed, your body renewed, and for the moment peace is restored in a tumultuous world. I have taken classes in other studios from other instructors, and while each teacher brings something that I can learn and take to heart, I have found no classes to compare with those I have shared with Kellee. Not only are they great yoga -- flexibility, strength, balance, mind, body spirit -- they are also a great workout. That's why I drive 30 minutes each way for her classes, and have done so for years as she has taught in other studios. Now that she is part of a partnership in her own space, I know that I have a yoga home. May you find yours as well.

I think she was a bit hesitant to take on such a huge task but I knew she would be wonderful once she was over this jitters. She started teaching parts of my classes while studying the art of Yoga and then one day she just took to it like a duck takes to water. She grew into this fantastic teacher with this vast knowledge of Yoga and the human body in general. I am amazed she took to it so quickly and she was such a natural it was amazing to watch. I am so proud of who Debbie has become and I am so impressed with her Studio and her drive to succeed. I know we have talked about being small business owners and each of us feel like we are always running in 10,000 different directions but I really do think we are both doing amazing and we both have such a drive that it is impossible to fail! As far as the Yoga, it is fantastic! The studio is lovely and very relaxing! That is how it should be.

The space is pleasant, but I wasn't terribly impressed with the instructor I went to. Part of it…read morewas that the "Hatha yoga" class was slower paced than what I'm accustomed to. (I usually do iyengar/anusara influenced yoga, so that's saying a lot). The instruction was ok, but didn't focus enough on preventing overflexing of the lumbar curve. I'd try it again, as it's hard to really evaluate a studio based on one teacher. (Plus the $5 intro was pretty sweet)

I'm so glad that this new location opened as it is a lot closer for me than the Hancock Village…read morelocation. I love Club Pilates and have been going for over a year and am at about 170 classes. The acoustics of this location make it very hard to hear the teachers and I feel that they have to over extend their voices in order to provide a great class for us. Perhaps in the meantime, a headset with a microphone would be very helpful! I also find that the classes at this location are easier overall in comparison to the location in Hancock Village. I am hopeful that they will begin making the classes a little tougher now that they have been open for a while. I love Club Pilates and look forward to continuing to push myself and live a healthier lifestyle while they continue to grow and expand! Who knows? Maybe I'll become a teacher one day!

I came early, went to the wrong side of the mall and had to run to class. I ended up being two minutes late, the door was locked, and they had a sign blocking the door as well. I stood there for a second waiting to get in, but then someone shooed me away!! This was last week. One other time I booked, they canceled class the night before, and now when I want to actually go they wouldn't let me in? Huge disappointment. I'm a regular class passer and have NEVER been somewhere where there isn't a five minute grace period. And to lock people out?! I really hope they fix some things because this is isn't normal. Surely there are lots of people who have trouble finding this spot. It's in a MALL. Please do better

FYI, this is my first time doing Hot Yoga, my second time taking a yoga class in about 6 years so I…read morepretty much don't know anything about yoga besides what I see on tv. I need to explain my physical background/active (not so active..) lifestyle for those people who are considering doing this for the first time. I haven't gone to gym in about 3 months prior to Bikryam, and I occasionally ride my bike casually around my neighborhood for about 3 or 4 miles. My body type is slim, but that doesn't mean I am fit. My endurance isn't great and I am still working on alot of workouts to improve my strength. Hot Yoga: about 30 people in one room set at 105 degrees. Not sure how the humidity is but they did have dehumidifiers in there. Class is 90 mins long and is considered to be an intermediate level of yoga. There are two sets of each "pose" and with barely no breaks between them besides a quick breather. Instructor states if you don't think your body can do it, don't push yourself too much and just sit down or relax. I didn't take that advice and after about 20 mins in I starting feeling really nauseous and lightheaded. I had to leave the room and stay out there for about 30 mins before i came back in.. I felt like I was going to faint. It wasn't that my body physically couldn't do it though. I came back in and just lied on the floor for the rest of the time. The instructor, Rachel, is extremely friendly and understanding. She knows quite a few people are new to this and knows that we're at different levels when it comes to yoga. Everybody was just so friendly there and a few of patrons also told me to keep trying and come back next time. 14 bucks for the first hot yoga session for students which I thought was a pretty good deal. If this is your first time, they give you a free yoga mat/towel to use. You NEED to bring a water bottle but they do have their own filtered water there. You pay after the session is completed. They also have one mens shower and two womens shower I believe if you feel inclined to rinse after. P.S.- i think I would go again if they had a beginner level type of yoga and if it was only for an hour.
