Great class and awesome instructor. Will definitely try again.
I enjoyed her class every weekends. Her classes are so relaxing and refreshing. It is a perfect way to renew myself for the coming new week.
What a great way to start a Saturday! Angela is a terrific instructor, and class is demanding but fun. It's a full-body effort that builds strength and endurance, while supporting healthy form and function. Angela has wonderful rapport with the entire class, is upbeat, positive and creative. Good music, too. The Studio practice room is fab. Love that there's natural light and that lightly padded floor is still bomb!
Yesterday there were no more towels when I arrived; though an infrequent occurrence, this is not the first time. 40 spots available for each class and Alaska Club knows how many have signed up for each class. I expect there to be one towel available per participant/for me each class. Though the Studio facility is pared down, an available towel is a minimum requirement. Club should ensure one towel for each person signed up, each time, every session. If that means extra towels on site in case someone takes two, or a couple extra folks show up for an open class, or whatever. The logistics of providing towels at that site is the Club's responsibility.
If the Club can expect us to sign-up, show-up, and/or cancel class, we can expect one towel each session.

The instructor was energetic and fun.
The yoga felt great too. thank you!
Andrea did a great job tonight. While it wasn’t the intensity level that regulars have come to expect from Holly’s class, it’s nice to change up routines occasionally. Andrea’s class had great energy, a full body workout, and a solid playlist.
Great class!! Teacher really pushes everyone to attempt their best.
Really enjoyed the Sunday 7pm class. It just hits different when, as a beginner, can focus in on simpler postures for holds and repeats to gain more understanding and comfort with moving through them. It's difficult to move the body and breath together so going slower and holding allows one to gain experience with breathing through and in the posture and exploring how the diaphragm moves and get to feel out the limits of breath and body when they move together.
I wish there were more beginner type classes or classes that focused more on feeling through the postures and focusing on mastering breathing through and in them.
Flow is good but part of Yoga as I've learned is being able to allow the stretching and strength to go deep within the body, even into the connective tissue and organs.
Holding a position and really breathing into it seems to feel better for the long term than trying to follow the flow of the teachers.
It would also be nice if there were Ashtanga series classes as this system is physiologically sound and progressive. Which will build a body capable of moving and flowing through these other teachers classes.
This is just my opinion from previous experience. It doesn't affect my appreciation and respect for the current teachers and their styles. I am trying to follow as best I can some of them. But some of them use many words that become hard to follow with the positions especially when they are turned opposed to the class and/or the postures don't allow for visual matching
Marisa works you through some poses while maintaining a fluid motion with good direction and prompts. Great class!!
Marisa's classes are varied and challenging, a wonderful combination!
love the music
