Review content:
I went there for just a class under their free week program just to check it out and see what all the rage was.
I do not know what it was about that place, but everything seem very cold and un-yoga like. There was not a sacredness to the place like I have experienced in other yoga studios. It just seemed like a very gym-like, commercialized atmosphere where they were trying too hard to be new agey.
The room is insanely hot, so if you have blood pressure issues or get faint really easy, then this is definitely not the yoga for you. Also, there was a tinge of mold in the air probably from the room being so humid all the time and probably not properly cleaned out and ventilated.
The teacher seemed like she just got out of teacher training and was spouting out the hindi names of the poses like she was trying to impress someone. It really scared me that she was encouraging people to over-extend themselves in the poses just to stimulate certain glands or to get to the deepest possible part of the pose. I may not be a teacher, but I know throughout my experience with yoga that you go to your extent in the pose and no further until you are ready. Overextending yourself is what leads to injury in yoga, and yoga is not a contest about who can go the deepest or stretching yourself beyond your limits to be beautiful in any pose. How far you go is your beauty in your pose.
With that being said, there was just something about the energy of the place that I could not really seem to fully relax and enjoy the yoga. People were crammed in there like sardines and there was the occasional sweat bead that would fly when we would change asanas. That was a bit unnerving as well since some of those sweat beads landed on me.
I have been to many yoga studios in the 10 years I have been doing yoga, and this one just did not sit well with me. I did like how the room made me sweat and made me go into the poses deeper, but how inexperienced the teacher was and how cold the place seemed just turned me off.
If you don't mind doing a gym-like yoga where you just do asanas and nothing more, then this would be an okay type of studio for you.
If you like real yoga where you learn more how to properly do asanas and small class sizes, you should go to an independent studio.
Pros: Heat was good for deepening poses
Cons: Inexperienced teacher and gym-like atmosphere
