I came back here after a year away. Not that I didn't like it here it was finding parking that was often an issue for me. I took my first classes here with Kathy at 4 and I do not recommend you come at that time because it is FULL! It was my first time there so I didn't know what to expect but as a beginner I found her teaching very inspiring and strong enough that I could get through most moves. She came around and adjusted people who needed it and it was nice to have her do that because it made all the difference.
Like I said the class was packed and part of it was lack of courtesy from those around me but I remember the woman next to me kept hitting me and I was getting rather annoyed. I remember shooting her a look like "HI can you stop hitting me?!" I finally repositioned myself. My second class seemed TOO hot from what I had experienced the first time. I barley got through standing or the floor series I just laid there in a hot sickly feeling lump on my mat.
I came back today because my pass is about to expire and I do not like wasting money and we had a sub Karen. She was super awesome and did lots of breathing and gave us cues when to drink water and little breaks. She also modeled a lot of the poses which I found really helpful and after she walked around the room checking our alignment.
I found that the class really focused on breathing and our practice of yoga I suppose it all depends on teaching style though. I really enjoyed it and booked a class for Sunday and one for next Friday as I'm in need of something to change up my routine plus it's so cold out I enjoy being in the hot room.
Also someone took my water bottle and now I'm down a water bottle in my house and you have no idea how much this devastates me! I went back to see if they had it in there lost and found by chance but it was already gone.
Also lemongrass towel for the win... but you already know that.
