BEST YOGA PLACE IN THE CITY (OR ANYWHERE)!

by johnnie07

I HAVE BEEN GOING TO YOGA PURA FOR A MONTH OR SO NOW AND MY WIFE HAS BEEN GOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I HAVE TO SAY IT HAS BEEN LIFE CHANGING FOR BOTH OF US! IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO WORK OUT. THE SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF THE CLASSES ARE UNIQUE TO THIS STUDIO AND MAKE THE CLASSES SO MUCH MORE OF WHAT YOGA IS REALLY ABOUT. THEY DO NOT SPEAK OF RELIGION, BUT TEACH US A "NICER" WAY OF THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES, OTHERS AND THE WORLD.

THE INSTRUCTORS ARE ALL VERY SKILLED AND ARE ALL DIFFFERENT, SO YOU ARE SURE TO FIND A MATCH TO YOUR PERSONALITY.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING IT A TRY!!

Nothing feels better!

by way2dogcrazy

These Yogi's know their stuff! Their unparralled knowledge of the human body and the multi-faceted science of Yoga makes for a lot more than just a few minutes of relaxation or a great work out. I've been introduced to every part of my body and mind from a much broader vantage point. The instructors truly care and take the time to pay attention to my situation (knee injury) and provide direct assistance to assure that I get the safest and most beneficial experience from class. The variety of classes provides something for every individual, regardless of age, fitness level, religious background or other inhibitions. Additionally, the frequent work shops made available open up even more areas for Yoga to be practiced in every day life. I love Yoga Pura!!

• Pros: Two thumbs and two big toes to everything from the classes to the boutique!
• Cons: The only thing they don't currently offer are early morning classes.

This place changed my life!

by desertlvr1022

I've been driving by Yoga Pura for years telling myself that I really should stop in. Last July I finally did, and am I ever grateful! Yoga is such a simple art, yet here it's presented with such love and understanding that it can't help but change you. I'm happier, healthier, and feel lighter in my life. My only regret is that I waited so long to get started. A beautiful place.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing
