I very much enjoyed my first class and signed up for a membership same day. I consistently go to studio 2x a week at least (more if there is a challenge ongoing) and even joined the bookclub at the studio. Neighborhood Barre also supports other small businesses in the area by holding pop-up classes at other establishments in Fuquay. With a variety of intensity, class formats (barre, strength, cardio and combination classes), class lengths, I definitely get what I am looking for in my membership.

When I walked in the ladies were genuinely nice and welcoming and took an interest in getting to know me. They were incredibly helpful. People often don't try new things for fear of being judged and that simply was not the case here. Unlimited classes was about $129 a month but there is also a 10 class package too- something for everyone's budget. They offer barre workout and also yoga. Happy to have gone!

I thought I understood what yoga was in my practice prior to coming to Moving Mantra. My affiliation with this studio has taken me to a whole new level. The sense of community has been an added bonus to someone like me who is new to the area. Cyndi Powers Bulka, the owner, is an amazing instuctor and one of the Nations' best kept secrets!

Beautiful studio where you can get your hot yoga on…read more Jana was an excellent instructor for our class of 30 or so which included many new to hot yoga. She watched everyone and made sure that no one fainted. The temperature was a sweaty 103 degrees. It felt amazing and everyone was dripping with sweat. The background music was wonderfully invigorating and, combined with Jana's encouraging words, I almost felt that I could twist myself into some of the poses even when I couldn't. I enjoyed watching as a few held their entire body weight on one arm and twisted the rest of their body into a pose and held it. Wowsa, Herculean Yoga-ites. As I lay flat on my back, eyes closed and feeling good about surviving this hour long class, I felt a fabulously ice-cold towel placed on my hand. I immediately placed it on my face and breathed the soothing aroma of lavender as the towel instantly cooled my sweaty face. Heavenly. There are a few changing rooms with curtains and several cubbyholes where you can put your stuff and mats are available to rent for $2. Overall, a beautiful studio for hot yoga.

The line up of teachers is absolutely amazing, having almost all my favorite instructors in the same place is awesome. They have a ton of workshops booked up, and I signed up for an arm balance class coming up. They have the cheapest drop in rate in town at $13. There are plenty of mats to rent for $2 if you don't have you're own. They also offer water, and coconut water to purchase. The studio is beautiful, obviously it's brand new so it definitely has a lot of perks. The heat wasn't too much and I think they are still working on the temp but it felt good and it's not stuffy at all. I took a class with Meg tonight and really enjoyed the 75min flow. There is a parking lot and they are right next to House of Hops on Glenwood Ave. So sad this studio wasn't open when I lived on this side of town, but I plan on making the drive and coming back again soon.

I ended up getting the Strawberry Dream, and it was not only gorgeous but absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back--next time to try a class!

My buddy in NJ got me hooked on hot yoga and so far I've taken about 7-8 of hot yoga classes too. Now in NJ hot yoga is a dry heat. Fast forward to NC and the hot yoga at Firefly is another animal. The room is heated with like humidifier steam...you can literally see the steam in the room. When class starts the steamers are turned off and that heat is on in that room! I saw 2 other objects in the room and maybe some heat was coming from them too. Oh did I mention the temperature outside was already about 95 degrees. I think the room itself was 100 degrees. The instructor William was amazing. He has a very calming voice and because the class was so intimate he knew I was never in his class and another woman as well. She was from Philly and I was the Jersey girl. William welcomes you and makes you feel very comfortable. We progressed through the moves slowly but intensely. William also walked around the room to correct form and help you to get deeper into the stretch. When the class was done corpse pose aka: savasana felt so GOOD! I loved the ice cold towel they give each student at the end. The studio is hidden. At first I thought my GPS was wrong. Have you ever seen the movie Deliverance? Yes, think that movie. The studio is inside of a like country club/retirement community/pool house...just weird but it's beautiful. The yoga place when you walk in is on the left and there is an attendant at the desk. There are locker rooms and showers...the yoga room is upstairs door on the right. I purchased a 2 week deal for $25. I am in town for 3 days but you can't beat the deal. So if in the Cary/Raleigh area check them out and make sure you're able to take the heat! Good place very good place.

Zen Yoga offers a variety of classes and excellent instructors. One of my many favorites is Renee Baker's Yoga Basics. The name sounds like it is a class for beginners but actually it is an opportunity to improve and make your practice more interesting and challenging. Each Basics class focuses on a different part of the body; i.e. feet, knees, etc. I had been doing a pose that never really felt exactly right. Renee gave me a tip that aligned my hips, was great in explaining how to get in and out of the pose, and suddenly everthing clicked into place. I keep thinking "If only I had known that sooner."
