I love Yoga Pura. I tried a class here a few weeks ago because I drive by this studio on my way home from work everyday and noticed that they offer your first class free. I am a high school teacher & track/xc coach and I had a runner who was recovering from a stress fracture and I wanted her to try out yoga with me. She had never been to a yoga class before, I have practiced off and on for years, more frequently in the past 12 months.
We tried the Essential Basics class because I wanted the poses really explained to her. Michael was teaching the class this time (I guess his wife, Rachel, usually does). He was awesome. Like I said, I am very familiar with yoga and I only did the beginner class because it was my friend's first class but he was AWESOME. He really explained and showed every pose. He helped everyone, he lightened the mood with his sense of humor...it was great. I loved everything about the class. It was PACKED but the vibe was awesome....like a family :)
The office staff is first class. They gave my friend and I a welcome package. I just think they are doing everything right there. Their monthly membership is SO reasonably priced... if I weren't moving across the country in a few weeks, I would definitely join!
Keep up the great work, Yoga Pura!!!
