| - I attended a Vinyasa Flow Level 1 class with teacher David at 10am a few weeks ago.
I have been practicing yoga consistently for about one month now but have done yoga for maybe 5 years.
The yoga studio is very neat and tidy, the staff are friendly and were able to answer my questions. I had to sign a waiver form when I signed up for a class, which is normal and the staff showed me around the relatively small studio. They have very nice bathrooms/change rooms.
The Level 1 class was held in a small-ish room, which could comfortable fit about 15 people. I entered the room and assumed I snagged the last spot but to my surprise the teacher asked everyone to move over so instead of fitting four comfortably in each row, there were five people, mats almost touching. I counted 25 people including myself, crammed into that little room. It got really hot, really fast. I could not stretch my hands out to my side or swan dive without hitting some one, not even grazing them, but possibly hitting their chest or middle of the their back because we were all so close. I was so disappointed with this class I considered getting up an leaving, but instead after about 50 minutes of clumsy, overcrowded, hot yoga (not the good hot yoga), I laid on my mat and waited for the class to end.
The teacher, David, was unable to give majority of the the 25 participants any advice or guidance on poses because there were so many of us! I prefer a more intimate yoga class where a teacher can help me. That's the whole reason I attend a class, so this class was very disappointing.
