I genuinely love this studio and have truly enjoyed my experience here. The classes are effective, energizing, and led by incredible instructors—Cara and her team are so welcoming, knowledgeable, and talented. You can feel the care they put into what they do, and it creates such a positive environment to be part of. There are just a couple of areas where I believe the experience could be even better. The space can feel very tight during fuller classes, and at times you can’t even fully open your arms to the side without worrying about hitting someone. It can make it difficult to stretch and move comfortably, and takes away from being fully present in the practice. A little more space between mats, or even a few additional class options, could really enhance the overall flow and comfort. The waitlists also tend to be quite long, which speaks to how much people love being here, but can make getting into class a bit challenging. My biggest hope for improvement would be around the cancellation policy. The current 12-hour window with a $10 charge feels difficult, especially since life can change quickly. One morning my daughter was sick, and even though my class wasn’t until later in the day, I felt pressure to rearrange everything just to avoid a potential charge. I wasn’t actually charged, but the situation itself created unnecessary stress that no one should feel—especially when you’re investing in what is meant to be a positive, elevated experience. As a business owner myself, I deeply value being client-focused, and I know firsthand how much can change overnight—people get sick, life happens. Of course, a cancellation policy is necessary, but 12 hours feels excessively long, especially when there are waitlists that can easily fill those spots. With classes consistently waitlisted, it feels like there’s an opportunity to offer more flexibility without negatively impacting the business. I truly believe three hours is the sweet spot—enough time to respect the business while still honoring real life. This is the main reason I’m giving four stars instead of five, because small things like this can create frustration over time and may unintentionally cause clients to leave. I truly want to see this studio continue to thrive and grow, because it has something really special. With just a little more flexibility and consideration in these areas, it could be an absolutely exceptional experience.
