I went to this studio four days ago . . . it actually took me awhile to get a little perspective on this one because I can't really give it a good rating even though I'd really wish to. The instructor was a veteran of yoga, I asked her how long she's been teaching and she told me she'd been at the location on Mt. Auburn St. since 1967 . . . and that when she first got there she was the only one offering yoga in Belmont, Watertown and Newton. I have to say that my goal (vast ambition) is that when I am her age I am able to be as fit and flexible as she appeared to be. This would be the place I might suggest to a grandmother to stimulate her physical self.
That being said I got to class, as usual, by the skin of my teeth and it turned out I was her only student that evening. OUCH! I really don't enjoy it when that happens. I was uncomfortable a couple of weeks ago when I was one of three people . . . this time being the only one I REALLY had to stay in my head in order to concentrate. The room was warm only, with old carpet . . . I am certainly getting spoiled when it comes to a heated room and hardwood floors. The practice was meditative rather than strenuous, I never had to get into my breathing. Again, as usual, I had a few stumbles only because with any new instructor anticipating what they are going to have you do can be a tad awkward.
She was very nice and I have to hand it to her, the first class was free so for all intents and purposes she led the whole session with no pay what-so-ever . . . THAT is why I took so long to review this one. I won't go back and I feel guilty for it! I should check an etiquette book for what to do if this situation ever presents itself again . . . I also wish there were a way to get out of a class gracefully if I'm ever the only one to show up again.
