I love this place. I came here because of the amazing Groupon purchased last spring and I just bought another package a few weeks ago.
I took my first month of yoga in the summer because I am a school teacher and wanted to give it some real time (and get my $50 worth!). I went for 4 weeks taking 3-4 classes a week (all Slow Flow) and I LOVED it. I also had a massage and it was fabulous. I am not new to yoga but my practice has either been on my own (Rodney Yee Dvd's) or some random classes at gyms and one 10 class package at a studio back east. It had been awhile since I practiced and I would say yoga had never before been a "regular" part of my routine. I wanted to try the more beginner level classes. I like them so much I haven't even thought of going to a "harder" one :)
I am a runner, so my yoga practice is more of a calming, restorative balance to the high intensity of my "normal" workouts. Every instructor that I've gone to at Urban Yoga has been phenomenal. Every single one introduces herself and asks about experience/injuries at the start of classes. I love the chilled-out vibe of the whole studio and I love the teaching styles of the instructors. As an athlete in a sport that is composed of constant "judgments" (clocks, races, paces, etc) it is so refreshing to counterbalance that with the positive, calming, flow of the classes taught at Urban Yoga.
I decided to try Danielle's Urban Zen class this afternoon because there was no Slow Flow at 4:30pm and it was AWESOME. I have never felt more relaxed and the gentle stretching was exactly what my overworked body needed from all the miles of pounding the pavement from running. I am seeing & feeling such positive changes since beginning to practice (somewhat regularly) at Urban Yoga. I highly recommend!
