A Peek At Beyond Yoga
Yesterday I had the pleasure (and honor, I must add 
) of checking out Beyond Yoga, one of the newest yoga studios to open it’s doors in the metro. My dear Yin Yoga teacher, Dona Tumacder-Esteban (who also happens to teach there), took me along for the ride and I got to attend two classes in this pretty, pretty space.
I wasn't kidding when I said it was pretty, right? Even the bathroom was SOOOO pretty
Classes start as early as 7am and there are about3-5 different schedules and an array of yoga styles to choose from. I got to attend the Hatha class with Johan and the Yin class with Dona. Other classes include power yoga, vinyasa, hot yoga, ashtanga and yoga basics. Drop in rates are Php 450 per session. Weekly, monthly, and yearly unlimited packages are also available.
In between yoga classes, the studio also offers dance classes, such as Belly Pop, Belly Dance and Zumba. Lockers and showers are available for your convenience, and should you be hungry after the practice, they also have a little cafe in the premises.
As for my experience, well, the yoga I loved, the dancing…well, I don’t dance, right? Haha. I skipped that even though Dona was cajoling me like all hell to try it out. It looked fun though. I will write more about my experience of the hatha class (I’ve already written much about yin after all!) in my diet and fitness blog, so do watch out for that I’m just a little too achey to do it now, hehe. Kinda rediscovered my core yesterday and well, suffice it to say I kinda forgot how that felt!!!
I must admit that Beyond Yoga is (pardon the pun) beyond far for me, especially since I live in Parañaque, but it surely was well worth braving the distance to check it out. I am soooo looking forward to the opening of their Antigravity Yoga classes and even if it is very far, I would definitely, definitely love to try that one out. Let’s just hope I don’t get too hooked…I can’t afford the gas and toll expenses harhar. Then again, as my friend said yesterday, kung nakakagimick naman tayo sa Morato, why not come for yoga diba? HEHEHE!!! So, yes, maybe now I have a new reason for going to Tomas Morato!
Beyond Yoga is located at the 3F Il Terrazzo, Tomas Morato Avenue corner Scout Madrinian St., QC

Oh…and on a random note….yesterdays practice at Beyond Yoga made me soooo want to get a Manduka mat….I so wanted to roll one of them up after the practice and tuck it in to my bag hehe. Joke They do, however, sell mats and other yoga merchandise. I made it a point to not even ask how much that maroon mat was because knowing me, I would have given in to impulse
i also want to try yoga pero hanggang dun palang…
hehe…when the time is right it will happen
wow looks really nice and relaxing! maybe i should also feature them!
go go
yes, its a very nice place 
just soooo far from me!
I’d love to explore other kinds of yoga! Hopefully I get to visit this place someday…
it is one of my ultimate dream to do yoga in a place like this + i hope i can do it real soon. thanks for sharing, i bet you had a very wonderful experience!
oh yes it was wonderful!!! just SO FAR!!!
*fingers crossed for you*

gusto ko rin i try mg yoga, but walang nag ooffer ng classes here:(
i wanted to experience yoga sometime.
I wish I could do Yoga. I know it’s good for everyone. But we’ll see…
Thanks for sharing!
I used to do yoga after I gave birth to my daughter, it helped me relax and be able to cope with being a first time mommy. Yoga has also helped me feel less stressed out and more awake, you know? It’s hard to explain..
I haven’t done yoga in years now, but I think I definitely would want to get back into it again soon.. 
That place looks like the perfect place to do Yoga, so nice!
you’re so far away kasi eh. sana one day meron diyang magbukas. or when you’re in manila attend a few classes
go go go mommy jes

i know exactly what you mean, ane

Thanks for writing about BEYOND YOGA!
Hope to see you again soon.
i look forward to returning
I have a sand-colored Manduka. It’s lovely. But H-E-A-V-Y! It’s not the type I’d like to sling over my shoulders, I tell ya! That’s for home practice for me!
