I absolutely adore Black Swan. I have been a member since shortly after they opened in Denver and go frequently. It adds value to my life and I’m grateful for the teachers, the affordability, the community, the schedule, everything. I rate everything 5 stars. Everything except the recent SOBO studio makeover.
This review is a desperate plea for management to please change the current state of the studio. The plant wall was a good idea in theory but has not gone well. The plants have shriveled up and died—many are still currently there in this state! Replacing the fresh plants with fake plastic ones was disappointing. The black walls and ceiling swallow me up—they don’t reflect the creativity and joy that to me Black Swan represents.
The previous art mural wall was amazing—striking colors, wonderful drishti points to focus on. The decoration at cap hill studio with the hanging colorful lights is also amazing! I know there is another iteration that the studio could be that would be more successful and representative of Black Swan.
Thank you for...

Read moreI truly can't say enough positive things about BSY. When I first moved to Denver, I was on the hunt to find a community based studio that felt authentic and I'm so happy I found it at BSY. Each teacher brings their own style and flare, making every practice feel fun and personal. Both locations just have the right vibes with an approachable schedule for all levels.
I'll also give a HUGE kudos to their YTT program. I shopped around multiple studios in Denver looking for one that felt like it honored the history but also encouraged personal development / gave students hands on practice. The syllabus is perfectly balanced across yoga philosophy, anatomy, asana breakdowns, and of course practice teaching. Willow and all the YTT trainers are SO fun, easy to listen to and dynamic to learn from. Best decision I've made for my own practice and it's been a life...
