| - I was first introduced to Moksha Yoga back in college when someone suggested that it would be a great way to unwind. And by unwind they meant become forever addicted to it! When my studio at Applewood shut down, I took a few years off to try different hobbies.
Last July I purchased a $50 Groupon voucher for a 60 day trial at Moksha Yoga Square One. This was perfect as the location is fairly close to my house. The studio itself is beautiful, bright and for the most part has a great concept and layout. When there are busy classes, the entry way and where you go to put your coat is extremely crowded and does not have a great "flow" - no pun intended ;). This isn't a make or break deal though, just practice patience and you'll be fine- ha!
The change room door for the women's change room though is the most unpractical thing I have ever seen in my life. It should honestly be removed and the hinges should be on the left side OR they need to make it a pull door because I cannot tell you how many times I've got whacked in the head. Sometimes they keep the door open and it's almost impossible to navigate around the change room as the door blocks the entry way to the benches.
Aside from the small entry way with the shoes and this change room situation, the overall studio is fantastic.
It's EXTREMELY clean, smells clean and you even see them clean (plus!). I actually don't mind showering there after my morning classes and go to work because I am comfortable enough in the facility.
The staff are friendly , helpfully and socialize with you! I agree that sometimes with larger classes that sometimes the instructors won't know everyone by first name BUT there are many instructors who have asked for my name or recognize me and engage in conversation- so, I don't necessarily think that larger classes = no personal touch. Most instructors do make an effort.
They have a great schedule in place with a variety of classes in place. Morning, afternoon, evenings and weekends which is great for those who have the Unlimited all you can sweat pass.
My favourite classes thus far have been the Wednesday / Friday morning classes with Indy, the Live Music Monday evening classes (AN ABSOLUTE MUST !!) and the Sweat, Stretch and Unwind classes on Wednesday evenings.
The studio also has constant workshops, events and much more happening to add a sense of community to their location- which I love! They are super engaged and have some pretty unique events!
Sometimes the busy classes get extremely packed and you find yourself getting a little comfortable with your neighbour ;) , so if personal space is an "issue" for you, perhaps try being at the back of the class towards the windows OR come during "slower" classes.
