| - I have to say that I'm absolutely bias towards this location. My first happy memories of hot yoga originates here. Prior to practicing at this studio, I had only ever been exposed to this most sweaty of athletic endeavours at one other place. The difference is like night and day! The neighbourhood is swell (what's not to love about Greektown? Grilled calamari at Astoria, shopping at cute neighbourhood stores and more eating galore). Public transportation is easily accessible (love that Chester Station is just around the corner - literally). Lots of street neighbourhood parking if you bother to treasure hunt for those most precious of parking spaces. After having now tried a plethora of yoga studios, I now realize that both the waiting area, change room and studio is a bit small, but I still really enjoy the space. The yoga colours, decor and vibrant vibe are just so very different from the grey, drab and dare I say it, icky, atmosphere from the first hot yoga studio I ever went to. The indescribable vibe and energy at this studio is just so positive and inexplicably different from other places I've been to.
The teacher today was amazing and very helpful. She made some adjustments when I was struggling with a pose, then I noticed she came back when it was time to work on the other side and helped me out enormously again.
The studio space is one floor above the change area. I always feel like I'm climbing into someone's attic, which oddly enough, I find extra special. What can I say? I'm bias! There are two shower stalls in the women's change room. Watch out for the soap dispenser! Maybe I'm just short... one time when I pumped the dispenser, it squirted into my eye! Ow!! I also find that unlike other studios, people don't really shower here. I think it might be because most of the students live in the area and like Jennifer M. simply go home to clean up, so no need to hurry to the shower after.
