I have been practicing hot yoga for nearly 9 months and am new to Vegas. I had tried a Sumits studio in Arizona so knew what to expect from a flow perspective. It's good, especially for those just getting started or looking for a place less intimidating than a Bikram studio. \nI bought a Groupon which I felt was a great way to test out this studio in Village Square. The seasoned instructors are all great (Dray, Lisa, Jill) and teach wonderful classes with excellent mantras at the conclusion. \n\nMy reason for less stars here is hinged on the following issues:\n1) the laminate floor in the studio- like a previous reviewer mentioned, it's not safe for sweaty people or instructors \n2) the women's locker room- no hooks to hang jackets and clothes on, a back door to the alley that just made me feel like my stuff could disappear in a split second, and my biggest gripe is that there isn't a screen or divider blocking the changing area. When the locker room door opens anyone in the hallway can see you in all your glory!\n3) The owners or management have decided to support an animal charity, which is admirable. I have rescued two myself, but I don't bring them to yoga with me. Is that acceptable? It's a turnoff walking in for 7pm class and the studio smells like a mix of steam and dog because their rescues are hanging out at the front desk. I've even watched the dogs wander into the studio and start licking someone who was in savasana before class, and listened to them barking during our class last evening. To me, it's just not the way you run a professional place of business. \n\nI want to like this place and continue my practice here but I'm not sure I will if they don't make some little improvements.
