I've been wanting to check out Eb & Flow Yoga mainly because the class names seem so inviting! I signed up for Embrace Flow (Gentle to Moderate Pace). I ALWAYS need Gentle to Moderate pace!
Actually this class was more challenging than I thought it would be!
Since I was running around I decided to just rent a mat for $1 at the studio. I did bring my own yoga towel though. The studio is located in Bucktown (and I don't really ever venture that far West), but it was easy to find and only a block away from a Divvy Station (score!!)
Before class began the instructor introduced herself to me and asked me if I had any injuries. I thought that was great. The room was rather long, and we were on the 3rd floor right on the street. This is actually the first class where I noticed being able to hear street noise!
I actually thought that this class would be more floor based but nope we were standing for most of it. Lots of warrior poses, etc. So the class was more of a challenge than I expected but not outside of my comfort zone.
Overall I liked the studio. I wish it was closer to me though!! I'll definitely keep an eye out on the schedule and see if I can add some more classes. They also have a new member deal of $21 for 21 days. If this studio was in my neighborhood I'd definitely sign up for that!!
I do have to say though that for a Sunday and end of weekend, I think I'll look for a more restorative class. I think that I just prefer to restore my mind on a Sunday rather than embrace a physical challenge.
It's cool that I'm learning a lot about myself and my practice!
What about you? When do you like to do yoga? Do you have different days for different types of yoga classes?
