| - Back in January, I was feeling incredibly stressed and decided to try out a true yoga class for the first time. (It's hard to believe that a California girl like me had never done yoga before, but I was so into Pilates before moving to Arizona that I never really thought about switching over). My main focus was on the meditative aspect, although of course, physical toning was important to me.
Metta gets four stars because of the flexible class times (really nice to be able to make something before or after work), clean studio, nice front desk staff, great intro pricing ($30 for 15 days of unlimited classes), and encouraging instructors. The only drawbacks for me are: 1) they don't offer hot yoga, which I think would be a nice plus and something I would have liked to try; and 2) the instructors were sometimes a bit too hands-on for me to really focus on my energy. I'm all for helping me learn the poses better, but I also was there for personal reasons and the interference was distracting, at times.
All in all, I think this is a solid place, and I'm glad my first yoga experience was here. Now that I work downtown, I'll probably try something in that area, but I would definitely return here if I had a workplace or home nearby.
