Review from Scott W.

I was reluctant to start Yoga (thought it would be to "wavy gravy" for my taste), but was completely wrong in my assumption. It has been an excellent experience and a phenomenal workout. I am hooked. The facility at Northshore Elements is excellent (although the Men's change room could be larger) and the teachers have all been outstanding. I would highly recommend the practise.

Don't you love going to a posh hotel where everything is clean, beautiful and luxurious? You poke your head into the washroom, read the lables on every bottle on the counter and decipher whether they are an expensive brand, sometimes you even take off your shoes (and socks) to walk around on the nice floors.. why yes, I'd be delighted to take a shower in that tub. Why yes, I will have a few glasses of your fresh, filtered water even though I'm not quite thirsty. Why yes, I would like to smell that hand soap, what a good incentive to wash your hands frequently. Yes, I would like all of the above- and can I take some home?
Northshore element is just like this aforementioned hotel, except it is a super yoga centre that pampers you to the point of soul-numbing zen.. in a good way. I had such a great experience here and I'd love to go back again and again.
How come nobody ever told me how awesome hot yoga was? I've practiced yoga pretty intensively in the past, having a mother who was a yoga teacher and going to various deserts to do yoga on mountain tops.. yeah, it was pretty serious. But never have I done yoga that made me sweat more than when I run 10 miles. Granted, there were people here who were swimming in a sea of their own sweat that made me wonder.. "How does anyone sweat THAT much?!?!" There were people making impressive breathing sounds and even passing gas and saying.. WHOOOOO! and no one seemed to mind. I really enjoyed the entire 90 minutes I was trapped in that heated room getting my warrior face on. They have a full functioning facility, from an infrared sauna to 4 shower stalls, along with yoga mat and towel services. It really is a beautiful place and the staff and instructors are super awesome.
It's pricey to be a member here but man.. this place delivers. They offer a great variety of classes, 7 days a week, from 6AM -11PM! My gosh, if that's not dedication, I don't know what is.
Namaste.
