Warrior 1 Yoga

Completed my first yoga sculpt with Jenny and had such a great experience! Our group was small and our instructor made the class flow comfortably.

I have been out of the yoga lifestyle for about six years, in that time I had two children and severe health issues. Previous to that, I was a regular yoga practitioner and fairly athletic. I’ve attended Warrior 1 in the past and I didn’t like the class then either but I figured, things can change and I wanted to give them another shot. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the class I experienced. I felt confident in booking the beginners class because I have taken other beginners classes at other studios recently. I set up, and the instructor comes in and immediately starts the class at full blast; no setting intentions, no modifications, nothing about honoring your body. The music is so loud that I cannot hear the instructor. It is flow from one pose to another very quickly, which is the OPPOSITE of what is listed in the class’ description. I find myself wondering if I booked the wrong class. At one point we’re instructed to use the strap, but no one has a strap. This is the first class I’ve ever gone to where the instructor did not set up your necessary equipment. I found myself tense, upset, and impatient when I left. The whole reason I attended the class was because I’d had a hard week and wanted to relax. Maybe it was the instructor, maybe it’s just how the studio is run, but I can’t recommend this studio for a true yoga beginner.

I love Shanna's Buti class at Warrior 1 Yoga. It really gets me out of my own head, away from my daily worries. It's great cardio, stretching, balance, core and strength all in one! Adding in the heat and humidity, it really doesn't matter how I feel going in to class, I always feel great leaving.

I never thought I’d love this as much as I have! As someone born and raised in Bakersfield I HATE THE HEAT! But TRUST ME!! TRY THIS! I get such a good sweat and I feel so cleansed and refreshed after! I have truly felt like a new person after my experiences with this studio! Everyone is incredibly inviting, friendly, and energetic. All classes are GREAT, but the one I love the most is the Hot Butt Lift class. I have fun and get such a good workout and they have so many classes to fit my schedule! 10/10 recommend!

5/5 on this gem! Warrior 1 was recommended to me by a friend who is a member. I was able to join her in a class, and as a beginner (who’s never done yoga a day in my life, not to mention; HOT yoga!!) I found it incredibly easy to follow along and modify as needed and made it through the entire class! The cold towel and cool down at the end was the perfect way to end it for me and a really nice touch. The cherry on top though has to be their pricing! Can’t beat it!!
