I took 7:30 am class with Mary. Overall, I did not gain quality practice and do not recommend this studio, especially the beginner students who are not familiar with yoga. Still, there are some positive elements that the studio offers. So I will first share what I appreciated about the studio, then move on to the points on what made my experience here not so fulfilling.

What I appreciated about the studio

The studio is spacious and beautiful.
The location of the studio is at a convenient spots with street parking.
They offer student discount drop in price ($17)

What they can improve on

While the studio did not have wall mirror that students can see themselves and watch other students to mimic asanas when they are lost, teacher did not provide examples with demonstrations. This will be especially challenging for students who are taking the class for the first time. ( I was taking an all level class)

-The flow of the class was missing. For example, transition from one asana to another was not instructed. I found it challenging to stay in pose (especially inversions) without proper transitions that can help me to move from one pose to another mindfully.

-Breathing instruction was off because it was not consistent. During Sun salutations, Mary instructed breathing with counting but some inhales she counted too fast and others too slow. Sometimes, right and left side were on different counting. So it was extremely difficult to depend on the instructor's guiding on breathing.

The instructor had pilates movements during class. She had us do core workout with crunches... This may be something other students enjoy. But I personally don't find it useful since I wanted to focus on mindful movement in yoga. I would have not signed up for this class if only the description of class actually said they are incorporating pilates in the class on the website. But it did not. When the class doesn't match what it is in description, it gives wrong ideas to the students.

I hope this comments reach the instructor and studio so they can better their teaching eventually. At the end of the day, they have a beautiful studio space and the mission described on their website says they do care about teaching great practice in yoga.

Yoga Mayu is an amazing sanctuary. The teachers, students, space and energy is down to earth, unpretentious, and open, with the focus on the yoga practice and its physical, mental, and emotional benefits.

I love the morning classes. The early morning boot camp was a game-changer for me - it allowed me to be more focused during my day and deepened my practice and commitment to self-care.

Much gratitude to the teachers whose guidance has helped me both on and off the mat.

If you want to learn yoga the correct way, go to Brenna's 101 classes. She is such a good teacher who explains everything in an excellent way. I thought I had done yoga before, turns out I pretty much didn't know what I was doing.

The studio in it's self is a small, personal,welcoming place. I love the classes here :)
