Visited this studio for what is probably my 4th or 5th time. I alway go in hoping to connect with an instructor or this studio. It's a very nice studio even tho it's quite small.
Our most recent experience was a class with all heaters turned up, even with a class advertised as 'Power Mixed' rather than 'Hot Vinyasa.' We chose this class based on the fact that it wasn't listed as hot. All four heaters were on.
The pace of the class was more similar to calisthenics than yoga. We were never in a pose long enough to be completely in it. I fail to see the benefits of yoga at that pace. I've been a member of several studios in Charlotte, including those that enjoy a faster pace and some heated classes, but never any like this.
When we talked to the instructor after class, she suggested she would have turned the heaters off if we asked her to. Maybe next time we'll try that. Another person in the class spoke up to say all classes are heated at Y2. We were completely unaware of that fact.
It would be nice if class descriptions on the schedule would indicate that all classes are hot so we know ahead of time what to wear, etc. We came dressed and prepared for a regular power vinyasa class.
