| - The Hive is the best studio I have been to in Pittsburgh for many reasons.
Adaptable - The instructors are fantastic at understanding the tendencies and learning styles of everyone and incorporating it into the practice. There is quite a range of experience amongst the students, and they enable all of them to get the most out of the practice. The first time I ever practiced was at the Hive, and it was incredibly comfortable and a memorable experience.
Fulfilling - I don't like the notion that yoga is a workout. You have to exert yourself physically, but it's not just for the sake of getting 'in shape'. The Hive embraces yoga as a spiritual and physical practice. Some studios I have attended, the practice feels void of any spiritual aspect, and feels more like aerobics than yoga. When I leave the studio, I am both physically and spiritually fulfilled, and it's wonderful.
Community - The instructors genuinely care about the well being of the students and the students care about the well being of each other. Everyone there truly embraces the practice as a force of good in our lives. Some studios have instructors that have all the yogi credentials in the world - but they don't care about their students and it shows. The instructors are not only well qualified and gifted at their practice - but they want to see their students realize their potential.
Bottom line is that it's one of the more affordable studios in the city - but you don't sacrifice anything for the price. The studio space, class selection, and instructors are all top notch.
If you haven't done yoga ever in your life, this is the place to start. If you have been practicing for 10 years, this is the place to continue. Everyone is welcome, and you feel the power to realize your potential in yoga, and in your life.
