Client Testimonials
The class was challenging enough for an advanced student but approachable enough for a beginner. I appreciate the encouragement to individualize our practice a bit - especially pose modifications and the understanding that everyone will have difficulty with different types of poses and only to go as far as we as students are comfortable pushing ourselves. This is my first experience with hot yoga and I was pleased to find that the heat wasn't 'too much'. I was a little worried about getting dizzy, as that sometimes happens to me in my home practice if I go too fast. The class atmosphere is comfortable and I didn't feel weird about going at my own pace or resting when needed. Thanks!!
No judgment only encouragement
They positively challenge me to continuously push myself to work at my maximum.
Human accessibility
I love the warm, welcoming spirit of everyone in the studio! I know I am seen and my presence is appreciated. Mimi connects with us in class through breath, humor, and being herself - which encourages us to connect through breath and authenticity, too!
I like that it's not competitive and they don't push you to go "harder". I like that they want you to do your best wherever that is that day. I also really like the assisting :-)
Personally
Each instructor is unique in their own way. My most recent class was with Jamie - she is a powerful teacher and I always know I'm going to sweat a ton and have sore abs the next day!
The instructors are so kind and helpful at 502. I love how they incorporate real life into our yoga classes.
All of the instructors are very personable and greet each person as they arrive. I love the community atmosphere and the attention given during practice.
-Very welcoming and friendly
-Was nervous about practicing in a studio with others rather than alone at home, but instructors have been helpful
-Have invited friends/recommended to friends, and I would again

I love how encouraging they are. They push us to our limit and are understanding when our limits are different than other people in class.
I love that Becca continuously challenges me.
Susie also offers challenging poses.
The struggle is real with both of them and I love it!!
The instructors (Mimi and Shelby) are knowledgeable, inspire me to be my best, push me to test my limits, and guide and support me in my practice.
The instructor was EXCELLENT!!
There was so much support for a first timer.
Helps modifications and encourages you to make it whatever you need from yoga that day!
Enthusiasm, preparation, real interest in advancing the practice of all students
502 is a welcoming, self-paced environment-- every instructor I've encountered emphasizes this no matter what type of class: meet yourself where you are, be aware of what you are feeling.
Helpful and motivational
Cat rocks!! Tuesday's class was packed but she just kept it flowing !
Great verbal cues, clear voice, kind, moved through room, did not talk throughout instruction but gave few interjections of humor/compassion.... ,(Kelly, instructor)
