I really like Zuda yoga for many reasons- they heat up the room during practice to just the right temp, hot enough to get a great sweat, but not so much you're feeling suffocated. The main studio has awesome floors, sweet audio system, and they keep it clean. The teachers have an upbeat and positive vibe and the flow sequences are well-thought out usually. Plus you always leave feeling like you got a great workout (plus I sleep better!) The assistants give exquisite adjustments!

I recently moved from Washington DC, and the one thing I miss about my old studio is the dab of essential oil the teacher would give each student before class; it wasn't about the oil but about the teacher making a quick connection to each student. I also miss the teacher cuing to turn and say hello to each neighbor to "break the ice" before class. This lack of connection between teachers/ students leaves me often feeling like the teachers at Zuda will never know who I am or my name, and it's hard to connect with other students around you. I realize I may need to assert myself more, but it doesn't seem the studio really cultivates those opportunities very well-- and I can compare that to my regular studio in DC that did a great job of that. Those would be my recommendations! Keep up the AMAZING work!
