| - Great HOT yoga studio.
I didn't do my research, and was unfamiliar with the Baptiste style, so I got a little surprise when I walked into the sauna-hot room. However, the staff are amazing - front desk, instructors, and all - and really make you feel welcome and relaxed (making a point to remember my name, point out showers, water, etc.).
The class I went to (3:30pm on Friday) was only $5, which is a serious bargain. The room was relatively full, which I'm kind of partial to (less attention on individuals!), but not too full to be uncomfortable or prevent us from receiving personal asana-corrections as needed. The retail selection is extensive, the room smelled good, was kept hot & clean, and nobody infringed on my personal space. The best part of the class by far is the ice-cold, lavender-scented cloth given out during corpse pose.
The only reason I'm not head-over-heels is that the studio had a little bit of an elitist/competitive vibe, which is understandable, as this is definitely not one-size-fits-all yoga, but still could be avoided.
I will absolutely be back though, for some occasional hot yoga sessions.
Tips:
1. Do NOT go here if you are new to yoga.
2. Go to their website - follow ALL of their recommendations before/during/after a class, and read what Baptiste is all about.
