    Wow- no one's reviewed this studio yet? I'm surprised, as it seemed pretty busy during the month I attended. Maybe that's because they had a Groupon though. In fact, my friend gifted me said Groupon, which gave me the initiative to finally try out the studio this past spring.

    I enjoyed their self directed mysore practice (try it, if you're up at 5:30am), as well as their "Hips and Hammies" class, despite the tacky name. I also noticed that they have a pretty comprehensive beginner's Ashtanga workshop. A friend of mine went and that is what got her into practicing.

    I feel the instructors at the yoga foster a nurturing environment for growth, and if I were still living closeby, or still passing through on my way home from the University, I would probably be a long term member at the Yoga Shala. I know quite a few people who are pretty dedicated to this studio.

    Also, the change rooms are very tiny, so I would maybe recommend showing up already changed and ready to go if you have the chance. There is only one room for practice, which is both cozy aaand spacious... kinda feels like I'm practicing in someones giant loft apartment.
    Lastly, sometimes you can get pretty good deals at the Yoga Shala for passes compared to other studios. I was looking the other day, and saw they are offering 3 months for $179 at the moment, which is a pretty decent! :)
