| - I've been to this studio a few times, mostly for workshops and once for a Reiki Restorative class. For the most part, everyone has been incredibly kind and friendly, and I've felt very welcomed into the space. The word "kula" loosely translates to "community" in Sanskrit, and I definitely feel that vibe at this studio.
The practice room itself is large, bright and spacious. I love that there are a number of props available - more than enough for every student - which means you don't have to rush into the room to stockpile a hoard of blocks and straps. As others have mentioned, however, the change room can get a bit crowded.
Although I can't speak much to the classes and instructors outside of my direct experience, I really appreciate the variety of classes that are offered here - both in terms of yoga styles as well as the schedule itself (I haven't seen many studios offer a 10pm class!). Prices seem quite reasonable; a drop-in class is $19 or $14 for students. If I lived closer, I would probably frequent Kula much more often. Unfortunately, I'm limited to dropping by every once in a while for a workshop or occasional class. Speaking of workshops, there seems to be a really amazing variety offered here, which is fantastic for inquisitive students or yoga teachers.
If you have a Passport to Prana, or are simply looking to get into yoga or try a new yoga studio, by all means try Kula!
Finally, for anyone who has never practiced yoga before and/or is concerned about "chanting"/"new age" stuff, etc., it should be noted that for the most part, this is an Anusara-inspired studio. One of the main characteristics of Anusara yoga is the opening invocation, which is a type of mantra that everyone chants at the beginning of class. Just something to keep in mind!
