Yoga Studio Class Schedules

I am on a quest to find a yoga studio that offers an advanced class first thing in the morning. Yoga studio owners (should) know the power of yoga and how important it is to start your day with. So why is it that the morning classes are only offered for beginners? Are they assuming that we yogis roll out of bed and into our own sun salutes?

The studio I attend just changed their class schedule. It made more of an impact on my life than I think I should have let it, but a when you rely on yoga to get you through life (bad attachment problem) you can feel a huge hole when you don’t get your fix.

It’s a fairly new studio, so I try to understand that they’re trying new things. But I wish that they remembered that when I was filling out my application, they were promising more classes at more times, not less. The new schedule boasts (insert sarcasm) the first advanced class at 12pm every day. Also, they’ve halved their hot yoga class offerings. Just because it’s going to be hot outside, doesn’t mean people are not interested in hot yoga anymore. Au Contraire, Mon Frère, you couldn’t be more wrong.

It seems as though the yoga schedule was built around stay-at-home moms. When you have one beginning class at 6am and then several other types of classes starting at 9:30am, it tells me that you’re not too concerned with the worker bee’s who probably need yoga a lot too, if not more. When your only advanced classes are at 12pm & 6pm, it doesn’t offer too much flexibility to your true yogis, who are based in the practice and use it to function.

Is it ok to conclude a blog with a Twitter hashtag? If so, #justsaying.
