| - I've practiced at a lot of studios all over Ohio and in Hawaii. It's really hard to compare one studio to another because each one has its own vibe, practice style, and goal for what it wishes to accomplish. So, instead of comparing Yoga Lounge to any other studio I'll just review this place on what I experienced.
First off, I live in Portage Lakes and would never just randomly choose to take a class at The Yoga Lounge because it is kind of far when compared to the other great selection of studios in my area. But I decided to apply for their teacher training program this fall and since I've never been there thought it would be a wise decision to test run the place, and teacher leading the program, to make sure that it would be a good fit for me.
Since I haven't been to Hudson in YEARS, I'm not at all familiar with the area and had some trouble finding it. It's located in the (BEAUTIFUL) square on the upper level of the parking deck. Since I was going in circles due to my gps telling me it was where it wasn't (it really was there, just on the other side of the building and on the top deck) I had to call the studio for help. The girl that answered the phone wasn't able to give me the best directions, because I couldn't even really say where I was, but she stayed on the phone with me until I finally was able to find the place. I really appreciated that.
When I walked in the studio I was struck with how beautiful the entire place was. Like, really REALLY well thought out and pretty. The front of The Yoga Lounge is a nice little boutique with clothes, mats and lots of other yoga related things. I didn't look around as much as I should of and didn't check out any prices, but they really seemed to have a nice selection of things. The bathrooms are beautiful ( I know, kind of a weird thing to admire) and there is even a shower in a separate room for you to use.
The actual studio itself was really nice. Big windows overlooking the square and just a really great peaceful feel to it. The best part (in my opinion) was the fact that there were markers on the floor for where to lay your mat. That way there's not fighting for space of rearranging your mat to squeeze someone else in. It's such a little silly thing but I was really excited about this.
I took Michelle's all level Vinyasa class. The room was heated to about 80 degrees and wasn't too hot and I definitely sweated more than in my usual practice. The class itself was pretty fantastic for an all levels class. there were enough modifications offered that I could really practice at a higher level and the people who were taking it as their first yoga class could still participate and not be uncomfortable with the poses. The instruction was great and and the teacher was hands on offering adjustments.
Overall, The Yoga Lounge was one of the best studios I have been to. Now that I've experienced it I would gladly drive all the way to Hudson for my regular practice.
Such a great place and I'm looking forward to trying other classes and teachers, as they all offer a lot of variety.
If you are looking for a new studio or have never taken yoga, this is a great place to start or make your new "home".
