| - After years of wanting to give yoga a try, I finally signed up for a class at Urban Yoga (after reading about it on Yelp). Their website was very helpful- listing class schedules, providing detailed descriptions of each class and bios for all instructors. I was able to sign up online and with my ASU ID even qualified for a student discount.
Urban Yoga is located on the first floor of a large building at Central and Lexington, and there is a small parking garage located right next to the studio, offering free parking. The studio is incredibly chic! It has a loftish feel with super-high ceilings and exposed air ducts. The paint inside is both soothing and exciting at the same time. The boutique is stocked with yoga-wear, mats, books and other delicious smelling products. Another huge plus are the free lockers in the bathrooms to store purses, workout bags, etc...
My instructor for my Yoga Fundamentals class was Kristina. If this is your first experience with yoga, I would 100% recommend that you sign up for one of Kristina's classes. She was really helpful in helping us master the poses and was very attentive to our needs. She also challenged us to experiment with the new poses in order for each of us to find the right sensations. Her class is incredibly relaxing, yet I still felt that I had experienced a great workout.
Upon leaving the studio, I thought to myself that I hadn't felt that relaxed or stress free in a very long time. What a wonderful experience!
