So far I have had two classes here and I absolutely loving it. My usual concern is classes are not challenging but Jen's class was one of the most challenging yoga sessions I ever had. Truly enjoyed it!
Fidan's class had nice flow to poses. It was gradual with minute details which leads you to proper yoga postures. Teachers do yoga with you which I found different than traditional studios. Plants at the entrace looks great. Studio is old and could use uplift. Clean, friendly and good vibes. Overall great experience!
