The weights seem cleaner in your studio. There’s plenty of room and you have a lot of of excellent teachers. I am sad that you lost some of your best early morning teachers during the week.
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely Michelle S is an incredible instructor! She’s 100% my new Saturday 9 am section (sorry Keely/Britt from Cow Hollow). She has such a great instructors voice that’s motivating, music was absolutely on point (I want her playlist), sequencing was tough/challenging/unique (I don’t think I’ve done a sequence with that many figure fours), she added just the amount of reps for each poses to the point where you push a little over the limit and challenge yourself but it’s not unbearable. In addition, I like how this studio has natural light that comes in so it’s easier to focus when you’re doing an unbalanced standing pose and can focus on a drishti.
100% would recommend taking Michelle. My only con is I don’t think any of these LA studios are hot enough. It doesn’t seem like they have a humidifier like the SF studios and I like to drip drop SWEAT.
Regardless, I still burnt 792 calories in this class and am happy.
The friendly yoga environment with well trained teacher (Prerna) ...she gives precise instructions that ensure safety in practice plus the encouragement to move on. Her confidence and compassion is worth appreciating.
The studio environment is also very warm nd professional at the same time.
Best wishes

The best experience from yesterday’s class was the teacher, Megan. She is a true Pro Yogi. It is obvious that she puts thought behind her sequences, starting and ending with a thoughtful theme that she weaves throughout the practice, assign that flow nicely from one to the other, and flow around the world (the room) which I particularly love, and finally her cueing is superb. It’s always a fantastic experience, taking her class.
The studio has become my favorite workout place. Clean. Organized. Always the same nice energy. Hard working teachers that practice what they teach. Josh, Jenn, Lydia, Lupita and Michelle are the reason I wake up excited to workout and push myself to be a better person.
Aliza is a special instructor. She takes the time to engage with her students before practice begins and teaches her classes with a deepened understanding of each of the poses.
