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.

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!

This is my second time participating in Abinaya Swaminathan's yoga class, and I absolutely love them! Abi has a clear voice that carries out in the room. She understands each pose profoundly and provides additional information regarding how and why. She often passes around correcting our mistakes and suggesting suitable modifications, and it is simultaneously challenging and satisfying. The difference between a yoga class and an excellent one is in the details, and those were excellent classes. Kudos! PS. The music selection was perfect.
Mar 2, 2023

Abi is absolutely wonderful! She seamlessly gives personal attention to everyone to ensure that the class experience is beneficial and safe for every person, regardless of their level of experience.

Sometime ac not working
Aug 24, 2024
The space and equipment is good. But, the air conditioning in the studio has been off all summer and was always on during the winters. It got freezing cold in winters and has been so hot in the summer.

Great venue
Jun 24, 2024
Outdoor courtyard Venue not conducive to yoga practice. In the sun with little shade in the courtyard. Can get very hot during the summer. A lot of distractions in the courtyard, children noisily playing around the lawn and in the very nearby pool. The purpose constructed yoga studio is the perfect venue for yoga practice.
Jun 2, 2024
Nice, clean and spacious!
May 13, 2024
I love this room, but it was dirty and cold
Apr 10, 2024
Now I know how to use beautiful equipment in the yoga studio! (Before that I had no idea how to use it) I feel there were much more yoga mats in the room.

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.
