The Best!

author-img

I’ve done yoga in the past and am new to the area. Expand has tons of great reviews so I was excited to try this place out. I attended the Hot Vinyasa this past Sunday and was so disappointed. The instructor did not introduce himself, say good morning, or offer up any sort of greeting to the very full class. He just launched into a much too fast flow. And there was no music?!?!!? Definitely not a vinyasa vibe I’ve ever been a part of before. I’d say that I’d give the studio another shot because of all the reviews BUT the class schedule doesn’t list instructors so I can’t avoid this instructor, which I would definitely do if given the choice! Whew, so annoyed.

I’ve done yoga off and on for years but never found a home studio until I started at Expand! I’ve been going regularly for 5 months and I’ve enjoyed every class. The studio is big, clean and comfortable. All of their instructors are amazing, great at communicating and challenging. I’ve been walking around with 2 old injuries that I thought may need surgery. After about 3 months at Expand I no longer have any kind of pain or problems associated with them!Expand has a real sense of community as well. Everyone is very friendly and respectful of each other. I’ve never seen or even heard a cell phone, which is hard to avoid given the TikTok age we live in. The studio hosts good and interesting workshops and events as well. 100% recommend you go to this studio.

Review for the Federal Way Location:I used to practice Hot Yoga in SoCal about 12 years ago then restarted again when Expand opened in Federal Way. I have been going about 4-5 times a week and it has been amazing. This studio is inviting, clean and filled with positive energy.So far I’ve taken classes with Liz, Matt, Tara, Tommeo and Allan. I’ve quickly come to feel like I belong at the studio. They all make an effort to recognize you. Allan has taught most of the classes I’ve been in- he’s been teaching, I believe, for a little over a year but you would think it’s been longer with how good he is. He has helped me so much with modifications and is always so kind.There are quite a few instructors that you can tell have been doing this awhile. They walk in with confidence and speak with such conviction- that you yourself believe you can do anything. They are not shy to give corrections or explanations of the postures which helps so much in growing your practice.Tara is my favorite 🫣 I feel guilty almost saying that because I’ve come to adore a lot of the instructors at the studio. She challenges me. She tells me I can do it. She tells me that I won’t give up. I find that she’s in my head during other classes with that faith in me and because of that- I don’t give up. Having someone believe in you, pushes you to believe in yourself.I am so grateful that this studio has come to Federal Way. Hot Yoga is about challenging yourself and growth. There is no competition. I’ve found that not only has my practice grown stronger but my body feels so much better as well. I hope to be a member here for many years to come.
