Rising Sun Yoga was not a new studio for me. It was actually the first place I ever tried yoga a couple of years ago. Yoga was not part of my journey then. I was happy to go back.
It is bright, warm and inviting as you enter the studio. At the entrance you remove your shoes. They have a changing room, rest room and a separate room for many classes they offer from a discussion group based from the book “A Course in Miracles” and stress reduction. The main room is for yoga practice.
Before you enter there is a computer you sign in. It is probably more efficient if you register your information online at their website before hand so you won’t have to worry about it before class. Paying is easy and straightforward online as the computer keeps track of your class passes but you can pay at the studio. I find it very impressive with the electronic sign in system, in my journey that is the only studio that has it.
I entered. It was all as I remembered including the same teacher. The teacher looked at me for a moment. She remembered me
The practice room is beautiful and airy with finished wooden floors, touched with minimal Buddhist decoration and positive messages and sutra symbols on the walls and ceilings. I personally love the message “smile”. Anyone knowing the challenges of yoga knows you can never be reminded enough especially in a difficult pose.
The class was an open flow, which was for students of all levels. A flow is where you flow through the postures. The teacher was as warm and engaging as I remembered her. She modified a few things for me so I could get the full benefit of the pose.
The music was contemporary and relaxing. I personally felt at home when she played a track from Deva Premal, Dakshina, an album I bought not too long ago.
Rising Sun truly offers one of the most diversified schedules of yoga styles. They have a new student special for $43 dollars and an unlimited monthly for $143, which is the least from the other studios that I have reviewed thus far. Best new yogi wisdom is always trying the new student special and listen to your intuition. It’s a full circle journey for me and I am happy to be back.
