  • I bought a Groupon for 3 classes for myself and my boyfriend and we had our first class last weekend. Bummer that a regular drop-in class is $16 (or 5 for $64) cause that's a little bit out of my price range. Very happy I could do it through the Groupon. Fun! Definitely totally different than our usual gym cardio. I was having trouble registering to pay with the Groupon through their website so I emailed them and they got back to me quickly and took care of the registration. It is NOT an easy, laid-back kind of yoga class. I was sweating like crazy trying to follow along. I was ultimately able to do all the moves but not without some serious effort. I'm in pretty good shape and so is my boyfriend but we struggled sometimes to get into the poses - especially hanging upside-down in Bat Pose. I would be hesitant to recommend it to someone who can't do a bent-arm hang for 5-10 seconds. I think they'd end up having to sit out more moves than they are able to do. The instructor explains the move as she's doing it and the class moves along quickly - especially since it was our first class so we spent the first few seconds watching her to figure out what we were supposed to do. No doubt we'll be better able to transition from move to move in the next class. Regarding Julie B's comment on the instructor: Almost everyone in my session was there for the first time. They did a Groupon and probably got 1000 purchasers. The class is only an hour long and to have to personally greet everyone and encourage them and ask everyone if they have any questions every time you teach the class wouldn't be realistic. Personally, I teach a rowing class and I never know who's going to stick with it and who will never show up again. I could spend 20 minutes playing ice-breaker games so everyone gets to know each other or I could spend 20 minutes teaching you to row and figure you'll come back if you like it or not come back if you don't. It doesn't mean the instructor is unfriendly or unwelcoming or rude, I think it's a matter of only having 60 minutes and teaching something complicated to a bunch of people who got a Groupon and probably won't be back once it's used up. A suggestion for Tough Lotus: it was hard to see the instructor because of all the swings in the way. And I was in the front row (there was a swing in between me and her so I had to step around it to watch). It would be great to have the instructor perform the moves on an elevated platform or something. Then we could all watch and do at the same time rather than having to duck down/around the other swings to be able to see.
