Great total body workout using medicine ball and balance ball routine!
Interesting and great workouts, had many laughters in this class! Strongly recommended!
Class was very nice, I loved it!
Great class yesterday, challenging with good yoga flows and poses.
Sara leads a beautiful class - the perfect combination of gentle flow, opening, stretching, and strengthening that's particularly wonderful to start the week on a Monday morning!
Snigdha on In-Person: Gentle Yoga :
Amazing class. Easy to follow and clear instructions. Great for both beginners as well as advanced students.
An amazing class as always! Best way to start the weekend
Thank you for a great class yesterday. I learned so much in regard to my yoga practice. I feel more confident carrying out my yoga poses and transitioning between poses to achieve a smoother flow. I feel really motivated to work on improving my form and breathing during my practice following your class. I highly recommend Hegulka Lydia’s Mindful Yoga Class if you want to improve on and develop your yoga practice.

Fantastic class, highly recommend!
Fantastic class. Fantastic instructor. Always positive. Great energy. Feel good after class every time.
Amazing class and workout. It was my second class with Sophia and I could already feel that I did better than the first class. Plus the class is really fun!
I liked it a lot 💜 very gentle, but not too easy
This class will make you sweat! It is an intense class that has plenty of great music that will push you to your limits! Sofia will give you modifications, for example if you have knee issues and can’t do regular jumping jacks then step jacks would be an appropriate modification. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a challenge!
Wonderful class with a great instructor. Gys seems to really enjoy getting to know his students and sharing his love of yoga with them.
"Even though I joined halfway through the class, the low-intensity cardio session was absolutely worthwhile and a fantastic experience!"
Energetic class, continued following strength training, well structured and great stretches to end the class.
Excellent class, energetic and challenging.
I had a great experience and class was amazing. Gys bring
Great class, challenging with stretches and flows.
The class was very dynamic, one of the best I have had at the Octagon. I enjoyed the class a lot!
A very relaxing way to begin my weekend! Love it!
The new class was amazing, looking forward more :)
It was harder exercise than expected but fantastic!! Right after starting the class, the atmosphere in the Saturday morning 9:30 drastically changed. Great start on Saturday morning! Starting 9:30 fits to me perfectly, not too early, not too late)
A really great and enjoyable class. Well constructed and systematic poses.
Spacious and beautiful.
Both Friday’s and today’s classes were excellent. Both challenging and restorative.

The first time I have attended the cycle core, it was well conducted and challenging.The core floor work was beneficial.

I enjoyed a lot this class... and the coach was even earlier the class started, which it's something that I truly appreciate.

The yoga and dance studio is spacious and equipped with everything we would need for our workout. The participant limit is very helpful to ensure we all have a comfortable workout and not be too overcrowded. It is a great space to hold this session
Sep 8, 2023
The courtyard was not a good venue for today’s class. At midday the sun was very hot and no shade is available. The grass was also very wet following recent rain and storms.Although it is summer and it is nice to be outdoors I feel that the studio is a better choice as it is made for the purpose to focus and also air conditioning. The courtyard can also be noisy with other residents and children playing,it is distracting.

The gym is clean and spacious

Good space to practice yoga
Jun 2, 2023
It's a nice space, though the equipment is somewhat lacking at the moment - there should be more yoga blocks as well as bolsters so that everyone can get the most out of these classes being held here. Also it seems the dimmers for the lights need to be fixed.

I like the class a lot, while still want to have the strength training class as scheduled before
