The Yoga Loft
2 reviews for The Yoga Loft
For a smaller studio, the Yoga Loft certainly has a lot of schedule offerings. I had a coupon for a free class and decided to use it. After taking Beginner-level yoga at a studio out of state, I decided to pick it up again and try intermediate flow. I really enjoyed it. Kristin, our instructor, was definitely helpful and did some "spot checking" on a couple of my poses to make sure I wasn't hyper-extending anything. When it came time to do headstands, she came over and patiently walked me through step by step. She made the class experience very relaxing and enjoyable.
Overall, it was a great experience. I just signed up for 10 more classes. :-)
Only one drawback--and it's rather minor--I wish the studio had mirrors on the walls. At my previous studio, I became accustomed to peeking at my form every so often to make sure I was on track.
If you're thinking about signing up and purchasing a 5- or 10-class pass, I would recommend showing up either right before or after a regularly scheduled class. (They don't have a full-time secretary there.) I believe they also take PayPal. :-)

I haven't been to other yoga studios to compare this with, but this studio will fix your yoga needs. however, i have some issues.
I'm glad that Yoga Loft switched its location to where it has hardwood floors (previous location was carpeted), but the studio is literally a door away from a gym so it's not quiet at all. you can hear the weights drop, people talking, and music. The latter two aren't that bad, but the weight dropping's gotta go!
Yoga Loft also hired some new instructors to accomodate the somewhat expanding business. Jen's the owner and the head honcho for all this, but i recently attended a class headed by LUCY and this is where my ranting begins...
1. if she's the instructor, i expect her to act like one from the beginning to the end. i expect instructors to introduce her/himself to new faces or make them feel welcomed. i haven't gone in months and this was my sister's first time- so this was my first time with her. she treated me and my sister as if we were nobody and never asked questions about any prior experience, etc. I'm giving her crap because the class was small- 5 people and she seemed to be all giddy and lovely dovey to all. NO EXCUSE TO ACT LIKE A BITCH- bitch!
2. if you are the instructor, i expect you to do some moves while you are instructing. fine, she just had surgery on her foot and she couldn't do the moves - then at least walk around and re-adjust/ fix positions. she kept on saying- "i'd do the moves but you wouldn't want to follow me because i just had foot surgery." la la la, choke on it.
as you can see- i am not happy with lucy. i've attended many many many classes with jen and never experienced such or have i ever seen jen treat anyone like that. i'm sure she wouldn't be happy if she knew that her representatives act the way they do when she's not around.
i'm not a hardcore yogi but i do have experience. i felt insulted with her. she needs to take a hike.
