I've tried hot yoga at numerous studios, including Bikram and sunstone, and hands down, this place ROCKS! The "Your Hot Body" class is a fantastic combination of yoga and pilates moves that works EVERYTHING and melts fat like crazy! The "Hot Hatha" class worked muscles I didn't even know I had and I felt like I had had a full body massage after I was finished. The heat does take some getting used to, but within a couple of classes, you get accustomed to it and really start to feel the benefits. After years of cycling, swimming, running, and weights, I found something that makes me feel better than I did before, not just right after the workout, but for DAYS afterward! And I'm actually building STRENGTH, not just muscle bulk. To top it all off, the instructors are AMAZING. No drill-sergeants here--friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable instruction with modifications at every step along the way. The instructors allow you to go at your own pace and challenge yourself when you're ready, instead of expecting you to do every move or posture exactly right the first time. When a correction is needed, they come to you and gently help you correct yourself instead of calling you out by name and embarrassing you. The instructors really incorporate the mind/body connection into every class, which has helped decrease my stress levels immensely. And the prices are reasonable! For the level of instruction you get, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal anywhere (especially with the student/teacher discounts!). I would highly recommend this studio to anyone wishing to get in shape, improve their fitness, or just do something WONDERFUL for their body. Your body will thank you!!!
Pros: Great instruction, awesome facility--room doesn't smell like a dirty men's locker room!
Cons: Wish they had one closer to West Houston.
