Yoga at YMCA? Or another great yoga studio?

DarcyLongfellow · September 2011

Hi ladies! I don't post over here much, I hope you don't mind a question from me :-)

I'd like to start doing yoga, but I'd rather do it during the day while DH is at work rather than early or late when he'd be home to watch DD.

The only place I can think of to take yoga where I could have childcare is the Y. So, has anyone taken it there? How does it compare to a real yoga studio? I'd probably join the Brooks Y off JTB, but if it's much better I could also go to the one in PVB (Winston, I think?).

If the Y is no good, are there any yoga studios you'd recommend? I'd prefer one close to the Beaches/Intracoastal area.

Thanks!!

Every Y has a variety of yoga instructors, usually a different one for each 'type' of yoga, so I would call the Y you want to go to and ask if you can audit or guest-sit-in on a class you're thinking of attending to see if you like the instructor, because that can make all the difference. It's been many years since I went to yoga at the Y, but one instructor was totally incredible and the next one drove me insane. It would be the same thing at a studio as well.

I agree with DP - re: try out the Y. I wanted to try spinning and body pump before joining the Y, and they gave me a 2 day trial pass. I got lucky and liked both instructors I had those 2 days, but tried out a few more classes and found others I also liked. I'd pull up their yoga schedule and see what classes you'd be interested in and ask for a 2 day trial pass for those 2 days or whatever.

That's awesome, thanks ladies. I had no idea the Y would let you try it out before joining :-) I'll check it out!
