I started with Marit back when IFY was Bikrim and at the first University location. I have always enjoyed the classes and the staff is so helpful- they really push my practice. I always left sweaty and energized. Power flow was my favorite and I was one of many who would cram into Jackie's 630pm class. She's incredible; her classes are well worth the packed room. The reason for my 'past tense' phrasing is two fold. 1. I grew up right by Hilldale and IFY was always incredibly close; after moving downtown it became more difficult without a car. 2. IFY is expensive. I understand that yoga in general is expensive with the heating, staff, training, etc. Don't get me wrong, they have the best staff and the most beautiful studio. However I am a woman in her 20's with a job that pays my bills but not much else and finding $100+ (depending on rates, etc) each month is difficult. I wish there were different options that were more affordable, I would be back in a heartbeat. I don't know if maybe I'm not die-hard enough and I should better budget for the membership but regardless I have currently settled for Capital Fitness and a membership rate I can more regularly afford.\n\nI look forward to a raise at work or a better budgeting of my money in order to get back to IFY because I do truly miss the workout, camaraderie and spirit of such a beautiful place :)\n\nnamaste
