The vibe and people here are incredible.This truly is a no judgment zone; a place where you can be yourself. If you're looking for a kick-ass workout that'll make you sweat your butt off, then this is the place for you! The vibe is super chill and lax. This studio is the opposite of pretentious (you might hear the occassional swear word). They welcome everyone from babies, kiddies, teens, adults and even the occassional puppy! The fridge is always stocked with water and beer!
If you're a beginner I'd recommend trying a basic flow to get an idea and feel for the cocomotion flow. Also if you are a beginner or new to yoga or perhaps not new to yoga, but not quite advanced, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! It can be intimidating to take a class where many people around you are handstanding or doing advanced level asanas. Some people have been practicing a long time, but I guarantee that in just a month of practicing there you will see a VAST improvement within yourself. It may take a couple months (maybe even a year), but trust me you WILL nail that handstand. After all, everyone has to start somewhere and I think cocomotion is one of the best places to start.
If you're like me (and sometimes run a few minutes late) you needn't worry. They do lock their doors when class starts, but they have a knock-on-the-door-if-you're-late policy and they will ALWAYS let you in. This was huge for me because I often run close to schedule, but sometimes slightly behind schedule. I used to STRESS-OUT worrying about whether or not I'd make it to class before the doors would shut at other studios!
I didn't think I had the abilities and strength to handstand, but a month of cocomotion classes had me trying and within 3 months (and very much to my surprise) I was nailing the handstand! The instructors and training here at cocomotion have helped push me to explore the limits of my body. I have discovered that my body can do so much more than I thought possible and that has been a gift in and of itself.
The studio is not heated (or so they say lol), but the workouts will make you drip more than any heated class you've ever taken. If you're looking for a real intense workout, you MUST check out Coco's class. You'll be sore for dayss (in a good way of course)! All the instructors have a similar (but not identical) pace and flow. They offer really great workshops. And their pricing is...
Read moreYou stare down at the mat as another drop of sweat slides down your face and onto the floor. Your breath is deep and steady as the liquid music reverberates throughout the room. "Warrior 3!" A young woman in front of you flows nimbly into the pose with fierce grace while an older man next to you struggles passionately to keep his balance. You breathe in and fix your gaze on the front wall, and then slowly, clumsily lower forward with arms outstretched as your leg lifts up, protesting against the tyranny of gravity. Your legs burn and shake, the sweat stings your eyes, but your mind remains one-pointed. You exhale, steeling your body and emptying yourself into the pose. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and that's where Coco will take you. This isn't a yoga practice, this is a life practice. This is not a room full of people competing to look the best; this is a community who wants to see you be your best. This isn't a business trying to cash in on pop yoga, this is a sanctuary created by a man overflowing with joie de vivre who cares deeply about people. This isn't a yoga studio; this is a space where "the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life." This...
