I had only come from an experience with Bikram (and loved it), so I have wanted to try other forms of yoga, but was just too nervous. I saw the 10 class groupon for an amazing price so I decided to try. I live 5 minutes away, and they have plenty of evening classes that fit my work schedule.
I have attended 7 out of the 10 classes so far and already signed up for 10 more. The pricing is reasonable, and I can't beat the location. I am loving the practice so far. I am a runner and it is a great balance for me. I go evenings after an afternoon run and it speeds my recovery. I have learned more about my body and how to use mind and body as one, which I have already applied to improve my running and everyday life.
I have taken classes with Jeanette who is leaving, as well as Virginia's beginner yoga classes and Barbara's warm yoga. And a restorative yoga class with Matthew. They are all wonderful instructors who make it easy to follow for someone who came in knowing almost nothing about yoga and it's lingo.
My only gripes so far (though I can't really compare this to another studio):
The warm class I attended had only 4 students creating body heat, and it was scheduled in between 2 regular classes, so the heat is only turned up for that hour block, therefore I didn't find that the room got very warm at all. But when I returned for a class on Sunday, with more room between classes, they were able to get the temperature up.
I also would like to see more evening classes offered. Or maybe slightly later classes so I can continue to regularly practice when I start my marathon training.
All in all, I'm very excited to explore and advance in the practice. This is a great, welcoming place for anyone, like me, who is nervous about...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI came to the 200 Hr Yoga Training Program to learn how to teach yoga. I go away with so much more. The Darshana Yoga Center will give you all the tools and resources you need to be a confident Yoga teacher. We covered a variety of topics to include philosophy, meditation, ayurveda, anatomy, alignment and Asana practice. The environment that is created supports all aspects of the training and it feels like every teacher gives their outmost effort to help, support, guide, correct, motivate and make you feel comfortable. I learned skills necessary for a comprehensive yoga class as well as self-confidence in the delivery of those classes.Ā Friendships, and laughs, and tiers were also a part of the 200hr program. Will never forget my time with my lovely sangha at Darshana Yoga Club. But the most important learning was the self-learning I experienced.Ā If you are looking to immerse yourself in Yogic learning and are willing to explore your potential, then this is the best...
