I was visiting my girlfriend in Philly so we tried this cute little studio out. I have been practicing yoga for 15 years and I teach. My friend has been practicing for a few years now and she felt comfortable going to the "mid-level" class. If I would have known this was an Ashtanga rooted class I would have taken the "all-levels" class. Way too advanced to be called a mid-levels class... I will say if you are an Ashtangi and looking for something outside the typical Mysore or led series classes, you will really love these classes. Rooted in the Ashtanga tradition, the class followed a typical led class but offered some variations. The instructor only offered asanas in Sanskrit and while he had an assistant, I received no enhancements or adjustments. Kind of a disappointment. The instructor (who I believe is the owner) spent the first several minutes talking about upcoming trainings and retreats...super annoying. I don't appreciate the "selling" aspect of yoga. But. I think most of the people there probably practice regularly with him so it was probably appropriate. He was very knowledgable and kind. I am not into Ashtanga so there is where my problem lies. For all Ashtangis-here is your spot!
