goodyoga

I go to two of the goodyoga locations regularly, this one (Hart) and the studio on Wyckoff. The Hart location is small and intimate, not to mention about 3 blocks from my apartment. They will eventually have hot yoga, according to their website, which will be great!
I have had a gym membership that I have said I was going to use and have not for over a year now. I have a really hard time motivating. Since I have signed up for goodyoga, I have been taking classes 2 – 3 times a week, and as time goes on I just want to go more and more. I recently signed up for the year commitment membership and feel confident that this is something I can and will continue to do.
The classes that work for my schedule are the less challenging, which is good for me as I start out.
I only have two points of feedback. 1) It would be awesome if there were more adjustments by the instructors, especially considering the small size of the class. I am sure not everyone likes to be touched, but I appreciate that kind of guidance and find it to be the main way that I have gotten out of bad yoga position habits in the past. Move my hips for me, I don’t mind! 2) The Hart location is very very loud between 6−8ish. Neighbors sit on their adjacent stoops, or even on the studio steps and scream and laugh and talk to people that must be five blocks away, judging by the volume of their voices. I can never let it all go at this location because the moment I start to drift away, someone is obnoxiously loud outside. Maybe as I get better at meditation in general I can block it out, but for now I just give up and realize I will only be able to get so far into blissful nothingness. Of course, I don’t expect the neighbors to change the habits they have had for probably years before yoga got there, but maybe a sound machine or louder music in the studio would help. It’s a little loud at the Wyckoff location, but the distractions at the Hart location are almost unbearable at times.
That being said, I am going to stick with it. Hopefully the kinks at the newer locations will be worked out over time. I am all in all happy with the classes and my experience and maybe the hullabaloo now will just help me ascend into pure light once I can ignore it. A girl can dream!
