This studio is great! I have practiced yoga for 8 years, all over the country and this is one of the best studios I have been to! and it is one of the cheapest!! All of the instructors are super friendly and they have their own styles but still maintain the message and strength of the class. I always feel like I get the class I need for the day. It is great for beginners too, all the classes offer modifications. They also have massage and acupuncture .
Pros: teachers are great! parking! lose weight!

I am a APY member and could never stop raving about APY. For whatever reason, the APY instructors that I love have either left or significantly reduced their schedules. In their place are brand new APY trainees, some of whom have a lot of potential but are no means comparable to the instructors who have left. Now, everytime I look at the schedule, it is a brand new person teaching and generally a very BASIC class. I leave feeling like I overpaid, annoyed, and not relaxed. Please fix this problem or this APY member is going else where.
Pros: Paid for membership
Cons: The instructors

This used to be a great community yoga studio, where you didn?t mind the sweat puddles on the floor or the ceiling falling down, because the person at the desk or the teacher knew your name. But now it is less about you and more about there bottom line: it is not cheap, the schedule changes too much, most classes are taught by novices, and there is a ?security? camera in the studio to monitor everything you do. Dallas has one of the best yoga communities in the world: great teachers, great spaces, challenging power yoga classes?don?t waste your time with a has-been studio like this where they really are not nice.
Pros: parking
Cons: not power, not yoga

After visiting many of the local yoga studios before claiming a "home", I chose American Power Yoga to develop a practice because of the knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging instructors. APY's philosophy is demonstrated in each class: that each pose isn't bad or good, it just is. In learning to be accepting of where you are in a pose, you are taught to accept each of life's situations as well...that you can breathe through anything, that nothing is worth giving your breath away, to stay present, and to release expectation. Yes, APY provides an intense and powerful workout, but more importantly, the teachers provide an opportunity to understand a way of life, an ability to "let go", and an opportunity to open up to the moment. I highly recommend American Power Yoga, both professionally, as a licensed clinical psychologist, and personally.
Pros: Very friendly, expert Instructors; classes throughout the day; All levels can participate
Cons: sometimes teachers run over an hour...this can be a pro, depending on your schedule

This is a very welcoming and non-intimidating studio: once I got up the courage to walk through the door, I never regretted it. The instructors are really knowledgeable and kind--they focus on both the physical and the mental parts of yoga, and never force you into poses or make you feel bad for not getting something "right". Other studios in Dallas made me feel like I had to join a sorority with a special language, poses, clothing and always made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Because the American Power Yoga teachers are so encouraging and respectful, I am able to relax more in class and not focus on trying to keep up and now I can do things I never thought possible! On and off the mat. Lots of classes everyday, and the studio is easy to get to with lots of parking, so no matter where my job takes me I can fit in a great butt-kicking workout almost everyday.
Pros: good prices, lots of classes, easy to get to (just off Central), lots of parking, 1 hour butt-kicking classes
Cons: some instructors don't stay on schedule

If you want to feel completely energized, athletic, stretchy, taller and so much more, then APY is for you! After taking regular classes at APY for a year (2-3X week) I can honestly say my body is totally changed and, even better, my body image is greatly improved. I wasn't in bad shape to start, but at 40+-years-old the appeal of aerobics, running and the gym was wearing off. APY keeps keeps me toned, burns calories, and helps me feel grounded.

I've always been an "at home yogi", practicing alone and in the comfort of my own home with lots ad lots of books and tapes. I tried this studio because it was highly reccommended by some wonderful people from Lululemon Athletica. And boy were they right!! The founder (Kurt Johnson) is absolutely phenominal. I don't know how...but every instructor there manages to pay attention to the intricacies of each and every pose, of each and every student! I feel like the few classes I've been to here thus far have broadened my knowledge more about yoga than all my years of solitary practice and reading!! (and Richardson APY rocks just as much!!) I truly admire Kurt and his electric crew for bringing this into my life, and into the countless other lives they have innevitably touched.
Pros: Everything!! Location, ambiance, guidance...
Cons: I can't think of one.
