| - I have been a bad, bad, neglectful girl, but I am back because I like Sutra so much that I think everyone should know.
Right off the bat I love the idea of fusion classes. I mean Reggae Yoga? Who thinks of this stuff? I never would, but now that it exists, I want to do it.
I've only been able to go twice so far: once to Ballet Yoga, and once to Yin Flow.
The Ballet Yoga was AMAZING... Danielle was so welcoming and warm, and a very soothing voice when my poor little out of shape self was struggling to hold a pose. I worked SO HARD in that class, and left just dripping (stringy hair, tshirt sticking to me, red faced and panting... are you hot and bothered yet?). But I also left feeling so good... the ever-present knots in my shoulders were gone (and stayed gone for almost a full week).
The Yin Flow was very different... About 3/4 of the class was Yin, and then the last part was the flow that we all know and love. I didn't know what Yin was or what to expect at all going into the class, so I spent much of the class confused by the stillness, and by the time my brain quieted down a little, we were already moving into Flow. I definitely want to try it again now that I "get" it. My mind rarely shuts up and leaves me alone, so a class that allows for a little more of a quiet state might be really good for me.
There are quite a few other classes i want to try, and I will update this when I do.
The inside is also really pretty. The studio itself has a dark wood floors, and candles from the ceiling and around the perimeter of the room. Little cubbies for your shoes and purse, and they've got blankets and bolsters, but I'm not sure about mats.
Full disclosure: I also like the owners very much. They are very community minded, and I am all about supporting the locals and banding together so it makes me so happy to meet others that feel the same. And I took my classes before I knew how much I liked them, so if I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.
And lastly, if you want to check it out without dropping too much dough, every Sunday they have "Community Jukebox": a $5 class, but the catch is you don't know WHAT class until you get there. Go on, live a little!
Edit for fuller disclosure
AFTER I had taken classes, my pet project (http://www.cenpho.tv) got broken into and all our equipment was stolen. SuTRA Midtown's owners offered to hold a fundraiser for us, to help replace what we needed.
Again, this was AFTER I had taken classes, and I stand by my review 100%.
