Day 214- Center Yoga Studio

I just finished another Groupon for a month of unlimited yoga classes. This deal was at the Center Yoga Studio in Tustin. The studio was right down the street from my work, so several co-workers registered for this deal as well.

I think that there was a consensus about our feelings regarding this yoga studio. Basically...it was alright.

This has been my first experience with a yoga class that I just didn't care much for. The classes were not structured, leaving gaps in the flow from pose to pose. The final resting pose in each class, savasana, was way to long, and the class setting didn't allow for a sneaky getaway. I think there were a couple of times when I found myself asleep during this time, making for a slightly drowsy drive home.

To their defense, the studio seemed to be fairly new, as did the instructors, so there may be some time for some improvements as the studio becomes more settled. The classes were very empty, which in a way was beneficial for someone like me, in that I received more focused attention and more fine-tuning on my poses.

Overall, for what I paid for with the Groupon, I got. I'm glad I had a chance to experience Yoga Center, as I did learn how to properly do a hurdler pose, but as for further classes, I think I will keep looking for my ideal yoga studio.

Pura Vida!
