I'm no Yogi, but I know a good instructor when I meet one. Ok, maybe not, but I know what I like.
My bf granted me a gift of a 10-class pass to Puma (Personally, I recommend this # because if gives you a chance to try out many different classes and instructors). I've been going for a little over a month now and have definitely found some favorites!
I've taken various classes at different levels and all the instructors are very kind, friendly, and helpful. Even Puma herself knows my name and chats with me when I come to a class! I am a huge fan of Puma's beginner class and think that the beginner's workshop would probably be amazing for those just starting out. I love, love, love Susan's classes too. She's a riot and always manages to challenge me.
While most of the instructors here focus on Vinyasa styles, there are varying degrees among them.
A great non-pretentious studio for Yogis of all levels!
