This week the Iyengar Institute inaugurated their new home with an updated schedule and enthusiastic students.

I went to class this morning and was immediately pleased to find abundant parking (a source of stress at the old Third Street locale), brand new sticky mats, blocks and squeaky clean blankets. The rope wall was pristine and the bamboo floors pleased the eye and the feet.

All that said, the space has more of a neighborhood vibe, as folks coming and going from the L.A. Fitness club adjacent, poke their head in the door to see what's going on. I'm sure the new student promotion is hard to pass up: two weeks of unlimited classes for $27.

If you have never taken an Iyengar class at the Institute, now is the time to check it out ($27 is hard to beat). And if you do, let us know what you think. Oh, and don't miss the opening party celebration on October 12th.
