Balance at Urbanity Dance

Sep 2014

I went to my first class at Balance as part of ClassPass -- the Thursday vinyasa at 6pm. Turns out, this small-and-new studio doesn't pack up like the other studios in town; I was the only one who signed up and ended up getting a one-on-one yoga class (to Audra's eternal credit -- because at most other studios, they'll just cancel the class). The space is small but cozy and warm, the mats they rent (for only $2) are very high-quality, and they have these wonderful little lavender eye masks for savasana. The one downside is that the space is small and kind of hard to find (it's in the back of an apartment building, so you have to walk down the alley and into the building's parking lot, and THEN find the sign above the door -- if it wasn't still daylight, this would have been way creepy and annoying). Definitely try it out. Infinitely less stressful than Back Bay Yoga or Sweat and Soul where you're basically on top of each other and laying in a puddle of your neighbor's sweat. Way more ohm.
