Really nice yoga place, they don't pack their classes, great vibe, great studio, and the instructors are superb, especially the Hatha Yoga.

I once rated this studio 5 stars, but things have changed. I had a really horrible experience with the owner Risa who took one look at me before my first Ashtanga class and said “I don’t think you know what you’re getting yourself into.” And “What are your intentions? This class has a requirement of coming a certain number of days a week.” and”this class isn’t for beginners”. To put this and other comments in context, I am a plus sized woman who has been practicing yoga for years and at the time really wanted to clean up my form/get into a daily routine.Risa assumed (presumably by looking at my large body) that I was a beginner in yoga. Though the class says “all levels welcome” she made sure to clarify that the description was wrong. After she discouraged me for 20+ minutes I insisted I take the class, but wasn’t able to let go of the negative feelings I had coming into it. I came to the class a few more times and tried to give it a fair chance. Overall the energy was negative and elitist. The corrections to my form were great, but the purpose of doing yoga over other forms of exercise was not fulfilled.This morning I signed up for a class through MINDBODY (signed up at 8:22 for a 9:00 class) but never received the email link to attend the online class. I think the good experiences I had with Sylvie and Matt kept me coming, but ultimately I have ended my membership because I feel discouraged from practicing.I had hesitated to leave this review because I thought my experience could change for the better. It never did. I now feel that I should warn other large bodied students of yoga to look elsewhere. Though there are a few teachers who give modifications it is NOT the majority of them.

It’s a great location and there are some great teachers, but one of the main teachers they currently have at the campus location, Matt, yells and swears like a drill sergeant. Never seen anything like that in any yoga studio - who cues shavasana with f-bombs? It was so ridiculous it was almost funny, but it’s definitely not the yoga experience I am looking for. Not coming back until I can be sure I don’t accidentally end up with him subbing.
