Love this studio. Every time I have gone I have liked the class and every teacher I have had, and Im a bit of a yoga snob so that is saying something. Its "hot" but not too hot for me. I like that its a little advanced so I dont get bored but they dont push you to do anything your not ready for. At the same time I really love seeing and trying different arm balances and advanced poses-(I thinking working on new things is really important to keep me interested in working out) just not in an environment that is too pushy, if im not feeling like trying it that day, they are cool with it. Love the Karma classes. The studio is simple and clean.
Ainsley and Stacey are both great teachers but as I said, everyone I have tried has been good. One suggestion- I like about 5 minutes of ab work in every yoga class. Not a ton, just enough to get those abs workin a little more :) Otherwise, nicely done Laughing Buddha!
Now that I have visited a few other studios in Charlotte I like laughing buddha even more, I have practiced for a long time and have times when Im going for it and want a very intense workout and times when I just want to take it easy and get a moderate workout. I feel NO pressure here, modify as I want, sometimes to make it more advanced sometimes to take it easy on my back... there is not that sense of competition here that there is elsewhere.
