A little fusion to start my weekend

As soon as I entered the Shas Yoga and Pilates studio this morning I felt like I was in a smaller version of my beloved Core Studio. Very modern, clean and soothing atmosphere. It turns out the founders of Shas and Core Studio did their Pilates teacher training together.  

The Fusion class I took was taught by the founder of the studio. Like their website promised the class was a playful experience. It truly did combine Pilates and Yoga which was a nice change – sometimes I find fusion classes are still predominantly yoga-based. The Hed Kandi-esque music that played throughout class was also enjoyable for me as it wasn’t your typical yoga music. Perfect beginning to an unusually warm November weekend.

The one downside is that the studio is very small and the capacity of the class I was in was 8. I’m not sure how busy their classes get, but I do know that you have to pre-register for any of the classes at Shas. I emailed five days prior to class and was able to get in with no problem. The upside to their classes being small is that you will get more individualized attention.

The other thing that may potentially be an issue is that there are no real change facilities at the studio or at least I couldn’t see them. The bathroom is located outside of the studio as well.

Would I go back?

Yes as I did like the vibe and style of the studio. Once the Passport to Prana wraps up I would consider taking advantage of their two week unlimited offer ($40).
