We went here for a vinyasa flow with Elaine. The class was a far departure from a "flow". Elaine appeared to be a seasoned and knowledgable teacher; however has lost sight of some key principles of asana. Alignment is a deeply personal experience for each yoga student - there is no one size fits all approach to yoga. A yoga classroom should be a safe and welcoming place for each student to modify, amplify, and personalize his/her practice to meet individualized needs and bodies. Further, a vinyasa class should strive to "yolk" both breath and movement. While Iyengar style and alignment focused instruction is invaluable, a vinyasa class should include breath to movement alignment and incorporate postures which logically flow from one to the next.

The studio space itself is old and dilapidated and is reminiscent of times gone by. The drop ceiling is stained and the space exudes odors of a damp, wet, and mildewed environment. Anyone in the area looking to practice true vinyasa style yoga in a clean and safe space should visit Unravelled Yoga on Bree St.
