User Reviews for Yoga Union
01/09/2006 Posted by bpijan
I've been going regularly for 15 mos. Stronger, slimmer, & happier now. The hot classes are very beneficial for my middle-aged female body. They also offer relaxing room-temp classes that allow longer holds in asanas. I like the mixed ages & fitness levels in the classes, from college-age to grandparents, some dancers/athletes, & some like me recovering from injuries or long-term sloth. Everyone working silently at their own pace in a welcoming space. Supportive, pleasant, well-trained teachers always willing to answer questions about the practice. I buy the 3-month pass which is a great value and keeps me motivated to attend. Recommended.
Pros: open 7 days, frequent classes, nice teachers
Cons: tiny changing room

Yoga Union is a great place to do Bikram Yoga. It's a serene and inspiring place to learn and better your practice. The instructors are kind, helpful and motivate you. There is no sense of competitiveness. As a mom of two young kids, I really treasure my 90 minute class and it leaves me completely refreshed and energized. The rates are also really good - especially when you buy class packages.
Pros: Great teachers, Great environment

This is a wonderful place for beginners and those experienced with yoga already. The teachers are kind and caring. They're very helpful when your doing poses; helping you get into the stretches and showing you ways to improve your practice.
Pros: helpful teachers

This place is great for those who love the heat and format of Bikram studios, but not the decidedly un-yoga-like competetive atmosphere of some. The teachers are serious about yoga, but encouraging and helpful, each with their own style, and they have other sorts of classes beyond the 'usual' 2 sets of 26 poses format (including pre- and post-natal). The studio has a real 'community center' feel, and it's clean and inviting, not too stuffy or hippy. I love this place!
Pros: friendly, excellent teachers, location

As a new yoga student I found the instructors most inviting. The heat can be tough, but I feel like I've made progress largely due to the added warmth of my muscles. There are a variety of teachers, some focusing on breathing and relaxation, some on breathing and strength - the classes can vary from meditation-esque to downright tough. They post the schedule so that you can go when the instructor of your choice is leading....I have four that I adore!
