Main Street Yoga Center — Local services in Madison

I was very happy with my class. I'm from out of town and was in Madison for a busy long weekend, so my second criteria for finding a class was schedule. My first was a class that wasn't hot or really strenuous, and the Friday class I went to (Sage all level with Kristin Sage) was just right for me.

The class wasn't too big, maybe six other people. We started out with the instructor reading a poem, followed by a gentle warm up. For all that most of the people in the class were probably retired, there were some suggested variations that were very difficult. The class ran over by about twenty minutes. Whenever I practice under a new instructor, I struggle a little with the cues and tempo. I periodically struggled with this class, but the instructor was very good both at elaborating the cues and providing quiet corrections. I enjoyed that the class was not silent--the instructor kept up an almost constant stream of description and encouragement.

The space was airy, with some plants in the corners. If the class had been silent, the construction next door might have been a little disruptive, but it just added a bit of spice to the balance postures.

I hope to be able to make it back next time I am in...

I’ve probably taken well in to the hundreds of classes with Alex over the years (starting with when he was teaching at The Studio) and feel like I learn something new each and every time… whether it’s a new pose or a tweak to an old pose or different takes on breath or words of wisdom… there is always something that I take away from class that I can incorporate into my yoga practice and best of all my daily life. The other instructors are great too, many of done their yoga teacher training with Alex...

I have been practicing yoga with some of the instructors at Main Street Yoga Center for many years now - so much knowledge, positive energy, skill in teaching, and honesty in being. Tonight, I experienced Joan's Sound Restore Yoga class for the first time and I highly recommend it! A rich restorative class, so restful, such lovely and powerful sound. I wish I could have bottled up her 15 minute guided yoga nidra savasana - I was left both vibrating and...
