More 10€ Yoga in Paris at Big Apple

12/9/2013

Big Apple is only a 20 minute metro ride from me and it's small enough that the ambiance is neighborhood-y and not stuffy.   It's really nice to have a great studio so close and convenient, you know, on those days that I just don't want to practice alone at home.   But since I do have a home practice, I can't bring myself to pay full price for a class and lucky for me, they have 10€ classes at 10am, two of which are in English!  They are taught by beginner teachers, but I've taken classes with both Jo (English) and Julia (French) and they're both very competent, so if you're available at 10 am I highly recommend these classes, they're way better than some of the full priced classes I've taken in Paris!


**Please check their schedule for community classes** to verify the days and times!  

Teacher:  Jo
Studio:  Big Apple Yoga
Class:  Vinyasa/Yin
Language:  English

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am

Experience:          ★★★
Alignment:           
★★★★★
Flow:                        
★★★
Feel Good Vibe:  
★★★★
Sweaty-ness:       ★★★★

Summary:
Jo is great at alignment queues.  She works with a personal injury, so she is hyper-aware of and great at getting the students into safe alignment.  It's a Vinyasa class so the flow is good, but I found the sequencing of some of the standing poses a bit too complicated for my taste.  There's a theme in the class and she does a bit of talking around the theme, but it's not overly airy or unattainable.  
Teacher:  Julia
Studio:  Big Apple Yoga
Class:  Anusara/Vinyasa
Language:  French (franglais)

Wednesdays and Fridays at 10am

Alignment:           ★★★
Flow:                        
★★★★★
Feel Good Vibe:  
★★★★
Adjustments:       ★★
Sweaty-ness:       ★★★★

Summary:
Julia is a kind and welcoming frenchwoman (yes, you read that right) and has spent some time overseas, so her English is quite good.  She keeps her instruction relatively simple in French, so I understood almost everything!  Her sequencing is thoughtful and well done.  For a beginner teacher, she does a lot of adjusting, but her one fault is that (I feel) her adjustments aren't always necessary.  There's a little bit of spiritual guidance at the beginning and it's well done.
