Readers' Choice: Yoga Studios

It's near and dear to your heart. Your yoga studio of choice is where you twist yourself into knots—then unwind, both body and mind. 

Where's the best place in town to feel the stretch of that first downward dog as class begins?

Does your favorite studio boast a wide variety of classes, or a stellar teacher? Do you like its upbeat tunes that keep you energized during class, or alternatively, the meditative chants that rumble softly as the Bikram room tops 105 degrees?

What is it that makes a great yoga studio?

This is a poll, and your vote counts. Remember you can also write a review of your favorite yoga studio on that studio's directory page here. A review is worth a couple of votes, and that's a good way to tell your friends what you think.
