I love Kula. i've been doing yoga all my life but nothing has made it mean so much to me or made me feel the positive effects like Kula has. i'm not so into the "om"ing and chanting and "hippy dippy" side of yoga but Kula has shown me the value of even that!
the space is clean and smells good. they try to be environmentally friendly in many ways including providing cloth towels instead of paper to dry your hands. at first it was weird that you have to scan yourself in with your barcoded pass into the reader, but now i like it; it's faster and you can see on the screen how many passes you have left or when it expires.
kula's teachers have all been awesome. i have never done a hot class so i can't speak for those but i would say 9/10 times i've left kula saying "yep, i would pay $19 for that experience" which is what it would cost if you paid for each class individually.
and that's the main downside about Kula for me- the price. i can't afford $169 a month for a pass. so far i've managed with their introductory $30 for 30 days deal, and now a 10 class pass that was on sale in december that i'm trying to make last a while.
if i could go to as many classes a week as i wanted here's what i would choose:
monday @ 6:30-8 Basics flow with Josie
tuesday @ 6:30-7:30am hour flow with Jen
wednesday @ 5-6 hour flow with Sonja
thurs @ 6:30-7:30am hour flow with Jen, 6-7 powerhour with Josie *fave!
fave teachers Josie, Jennifer, Elyse (substitute)
