Akasha Yoga - Davis Sam C: The yin yoga class is delectable! This place is clean with an easy online interface and great introductory deal for first timers: $45 for one month unlimited.
Drawbacks are too many for me to keep a membership though:
1. The studio space is crazy crowded for the number of students they allow to enter! The very least they could do is to mark off the floor for mat placement if theyre not going to reduce the class size cap.
2. They only really offer hot vinyasa classes that are too rigorous for those of us who need a slower, gentler practice and more guidance with alignment. And if youre a beginner or have less control over your movements, the crowded space doesnt allow you to make mistakes or learn your limits without interrupting your neighbors practice.
3. The studio is hot, so of course it get sweaty, and its awesome that they offer spray bottles with cleaning solution for members use. But ohmygoodness the studio blocks are wet every time you go to use them... is it cleaning solution? Is it sweat? Im sorry but ew! Ill bring my own.
I would be a committed member if they offered some straight hatha or slow flow options. As it stands, I will definitely continue attending the yin classes whenever I can, despite the crowded space because theyre so yummy!
