I have been a professional dancer in NYC for 8 years and am a Yoga Alliance certified instructor who just recently moved to ATL and have been looking for a decent yoga class...which I did NOT find at Urban Body. The yoga teacher (the tues 6:30pm Int class) had a total attitude. It started off unwelcoming and negatively when she asked of our previous yoga experience. She harped over and over on how advanced her class was to the point where my partner who was attending the class with me had to say ""If you don't want me in your class, than I'll leave"" to when she asked if I had any injuries and I said ""I have sesmoiditis"" to which she snipped ""I'm a professional PT, I know what that is""..well good for you Lady, you get a gold star. Then the class began, in an hour and 1/2 class we only did like 5 postures. After every asana she would say ""gather around and watch me do this pose"" then she would discuss it forever. I go to class to work, not listen to a blow hard pontificate. There was no fluidity, no joy in the movement, no focus on breathwork, only a focus on her...the teacher. I never broke a sweat and the class was in no way advanced...maybe she felt like she was being advanced bc she used the Sanskrit terms for the 5 asanas she droned on about,not sure but, it was a horrible disjointed class and I don't recommend it to anyone. I've heard good things about Kashi and Samadhi here in ATL, I'll have to give them a try....
Pros: none..but i have another con...pricey classes @ $16 a pop...
Cons: yoga teacher w/ attitude,slow front desk staff,small studio
