| - A wonderful Studio.
I've been practicing Bikram Yoga for a number of years, and I've tried to go to studios where ever I travel to. The Calgary South studio is a wonderful space to practice.
First off, when you walk through the doors you have a large area to remove your footwear, customary for most yoga studios. The front desk staff are very pleasant and in most cases the instructors are there to greet you as well. There is a large merchandise area, everything from mats, to clothing, to water bottles and various other trinkets.
There are two rooms, and both are well lit and ventilated. They use a product called flotex for the flooring. Any studio that I've practiced in that uses this flooring (and that if maintained), there is virtually no smell to it. So no stinky rooms !
The instructors I've had, have all been very good. They know their script/dialog and have good timing and pace throughout the class. Most of them have made comments to me after class. Helping me with corrections, or things that they noticed. This is quite impressive considering the number of students in the room for some of the classes.
Some of the classes can be full, so obviously its a good idea to get there early. Arriving 2 minutes before class may net you a less than desirable spot in the room. There is even a small freezer with frozen treats for after class. A nice touch, although I've never indulged.
There is plenty of free parking, as the studio is part of strip mall.
Overall I like the studio, its instructors and the rooms. Even though I don't live in Calgary and I'm only traveling there to work. I decided to by a class pass. Needless to say, I'll be going back !
