I'm not sure what made the two earlier reviewers so negative about their experience with ashtanga at UBS bc I've done ashtanga at several dif studios as I've moved in the past few years and the instructor there is really fantastic.\r
The first class I went to was the 630pm intermediate class, and like the other reviewer, the instructor asked about my experience with ashtanga and told me it was an intermediate class, but it was in no way rude or unwelcoming.\r
She does count to 5 breaths when poses are held but I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that.... the teacher makes adjustments and helps everyone get deeper into their poses. The intermediate class moves through the entire primary series. ( I think one of the other reviewers said it only went through like 5 poses? Not true)\r
All of the ashtanga classes are taught by the same woman and are great. I've never been to the beginner ashtanga class but my friend goes and says it's really awesome. \r
I just wanted to share my thoughts about the ashtanga there bc the experience I've had there has been really positive and I think it's definitely a great place to try out if you're looking for a good studio.\r
I can't really give any review about any of the other classes bc I mainly go to the ashtanga there.
