Space: 5 starVariety: 5 starClasses/Teachers: 2-5 star, depending on teacherWas a member here for over a year and overall, Ahana does an excellent job of having classes nearly 24/7 with options for everyone. That being said: if you don't know what you're in for, you can be disappointed or annoyed.Most of the classes are what I'd call Miami yoga -- teachers yelling "happy baby, happy husband" while cueing booty shakes in poses (especially weekend classes).

Dawn B. - the owner of Ahana Yoga Studio - began the practice, leading us all in a beautiful chant. Her smile was infectious. Her energy sincere. Pillows, bolsters, and blankets were set for us in a circle around the blanketed stage/shrine. Once the chanting began, we were asked to scoot closer towards the "stage" and become one with each other. I lost track of which voice was mine and felt as if I had the power of 100 voices as I was singing. There was a ferociousness that erupted on the back end of the practice. It was such a great natural body high. The video above doesn't do it justice because when it was most mindblowing, my eyes were closed, and I was singing. I tried to break myself from the trance for a few moments so I would have something visual to share with you all. READ MORE OF THIS REVIEW:
