Walking into the studio on the ground floor of the Tiger Hotel, participants will first notice the soothing sounds of the music and the sweet smell of incense wafting through the large, naturally-lit room.
Aside from creating a relaxing space, the studio focuses on “individualized attention, as well as safety and comfort in each pose,” said Jan Wheeler, instructor of the senior chair and Yoga Nidra classes.
AlleyCat emphasizes Kripalu Yoga—a combination of meditation and poses, but also includes Vinyasa and prenatal yoga classes, as well as stress reduction.
The 11 instructors represent a different form of yoga and all teach a different class.
