I am a hot yoga lover and was ready to try Sunstone after all the glowing reviews. I planned to try all the studios so I wouldn't miss anything but could only stand it three times even with the ten classes for ten dollars offer. It is definitely hot. I guess they do what they can about the smell but I have been to other hot studios that aren't that malodorous. It is better than the Bikram studio on that front at least. The worst part is the lousy instruction. I need a good visual and the instructors were essentially beginners in terms of performing the poses. At one studio, the teacher routinely left out part of the sun salutation. She also constantly referred to, what I assumed to be a "cheat sheet" throughout the class. This was their "metal" class which is supposed to be their most difficult. This instructor struggled with the poses more than most of the students. And the class itself was less than challenging. As all the instructors performed the entire class with the students, there were no student adjustments or any individualized instruction - and, people needed it. There was little or no emphasis on breath, no variations given to advance (or modify) poses, no mention of gaze, bandas, or any other core yoga principles. In short, lots of heat, not much yoga.
Pros: It's hot.
Cons: Yoga instruction is poor - and they don't do enough to control smell.
