If you want to do Iyengar yoga this would be a great place to start. I take classes with Joy Laine and find her to be a sensitive and adept instructor. There are all the props one would expect to find when doing the Iyengar method including a rope wall, bolsters, matts, etc. The studio changed hands in 2019 and now offers more classes than before.
Lee and Kristin are two of the best yoga teachers I ever worked with in my life (I practiced yoga seriously from 1995 - 2004/5). No "yoga flows", no music in the class (except for chanting time) and we spent extended periods of time in each asana, with Lee or Kristin adjusting everyone in the class until we were all doing the asana to the best of our abilities. They are master teachers with integrity in their professional practice. Sometimes they are a bit hard on people, but I appreciated that as it demonstrated that they sought excellence in their students...
Absolutely the tops! The instructors at this studio are authentic and dedicated to the practice of yoga. Couldn't ask for better, more detailed and safe instruction. Lee teaches with a fun sense of humor and a rich philosphy, and Kristin teaches with precision and grace. This isn't your cookie-cutter yoga class, you get hands-on, real-time feedback. In a word: amazing.
