I was in town visiting family and needed to get my yoga practice in. I searched on Google of local yoga studios and saw that Fuel Yoga Workouts was just around the corner from my hotel. I was able to take two classes during my stay. One was Fuel Flex and the other was Fuel Flow. I didn't read into the descriptions of the classes, but I assumed they were power yoga classes. The first class I took was Fuel Flex 2 with Alex on a Friday morning at 6am. I was expecting an asana practice, but this was far from it. I soon found out that it was more of a sculpt/HIIT class. The only yoga components were during the warmup and cool down. Not complaining though, because I had a blast and the workout kicked my ass. Alex was high energy, and she curated an amazing playlist much needed for the early morning. I appreciated her offerings to modify exercises. The room was heated, but I thought it was very manageable. I didn't feel like I was dying from the heat at all. The second class I took was Fuel Flow with Bri. Now this was more of my cup of tea and what I was looking for in my personal practice. The class was high energy as well and quite challenging, but we gradually worked up to the peak poses through the class. Bri led a very creative sequence, and I felt like she kept me on my toes the entire class.
Great instructor and work out. If you get there too early you need to find something to do because doors locked and there's no place to hang out per se. good new is there is a couple cool coffee and boba tea on the same block, so not an issue! If you love hot yoga, check it out!
Today's class left me crying inside because I was able to heal in so many ways. My office used to be right around the corner in the World Trade Center building and I remember seeing when the Fuel Studio was built. I remember seeing so many badass looking people go in and out or walk around with their yoga mats. I always wanted to be and look just like them but thought that I could never do hot yoga! After taking hot yoga for about a year now and Alex K. being one of my first hot yoga teachers EVER, I knew I had to come check out her class at Fuel! Omg it was like running a marathon on my mat. 5 minutes in I wanted to quit, 5 minutes after class I was so glad I pushed through!!! Soooo good!! :) my friend Jess loved the class too and signed up for the 2 week promotion! I used class pass to try the class and loved it! The studio gave us first free class cards to hand out so we'll definitely be back with friends!
