The Mantra
理念


Main Yoga was built on the fundamental yoga philosophy of fostering spirituality and inner growth, in which they strive for self-development. While speaking with a few of the instructors at the studio, I could feel their conviction for the art and practice of yoga.
瑜伽的本源理念是培育精神境界、促进内心成长,从而提升内心的自我修养,而Main Yoga正是一家建立在此基础之上的瑜伽会所。在与几位瑜伽教练的谈话中我们可以感受到他们对践行瑜伽这门艺术的信念。


The Space and Vibe
地理位置及会所环境


Main Yoga is hidden in the back of Ambassy Compound near the pool on Huaihai Lu. Although it was a bit difficult to find at first, it was worth the visit.
Main Yoga坐落在鸿艺豪苑后方的隐蔽之处,就在淮海中路上的泳池附近,第一次去确实有点难找,但之后你一定会觉得不虚此行
The yoga studio itself is quite simplistic with modern décor, having two changing rooms (one for each sex) with lockers, one shower, and a separate small bathroom. They provide each guest with a mat (which are in very good condition and clean) and a towel at the end of your class to those who didn't bring one of their own.

Although the yoga studio is quite small overall, this is what the staff and instructors pride themselves on. One of the instructors explained that they have tried to get away from the commercial aspect that many yoga studios nowadays have become. Main Yoga strives to provide an authentic, intimate setting for their clients, straying away from the trend of becoming a mega studio and chain.
会所内部是简洁的现代装潢,设有两个更衣室(男女各一,内有锁柜)、一个淋浴间和一个单独的小浴室。服务人员会给每位顾客提供一块干净好用的瑜伽垫;如果你忘了带毛巾,不要担心,瑜伽课结束后,他们也会给你提供。
虽然这家瑜伽会所整体看上去不大,但是这里所有的工作人员和教练员都引以为豪。一位瑜伽教练说,他们致力于为顾客提供一个与自己内心真实接触、亲密沟通的环境,避免像其他瑜伽会所那样日益变得商业化,也不会跟风建设大型连锁机构。
The Classes
课程设置
The studio offers a wide range of classes to suit a variety of needs. The studio has 12 teachers in all and teaches classes such as yoga therapy, water yoga, Yin yoga, and Ashtanga yoga. The studio mainly consists of beginner to intermediate students, but they hope to gain a wider range of levels as their current students progress and they broaden their membership.
会所为了迎合不同程度顾客的需要开设了种类丰富的瑜伽课堂。这里一共有12个老师,教授瑜伽治疗法、水中瑜伽、阴瑜伽和阿斯汤加瑜伽等。顾客主要包括初学者和中级瑜伽学员,会所方面希望能够招收更多不同程度的学生成为Main Yoga的会员。
The studio has many options for mothers and soon-to-be mothers. In addition to offering both prenatal and postnatal yoga classes, they also offer family yoga classes every weekend for mother and baby. If interested in the prenatal or postnatal yoga, you will need to first speak with the instructor to discuss your needs and assess your wellbeing and limitations during the class.

For family yoga, mothers are welcome to bring their babies (must be at least 3 months old) to join in a mother and baby bonding yoga session. The family yoga instructor explained that mom and baby yoga is designed to comfort both the mother and child. Often soon after birth, a mother is hesitant to leave her newborn and can have anxiety or is distracted during postnatal classes. This option allows a mother to be focused on her baby while doing yoga, often using her baby as a prop or weight during the class. The sessions also usually include small baby massage sessions in class in order to learn your baby's pressure points and other ways to calm a child.
在这里妈妈和准妈妈们有多种选择,除了产前和产后的瑜伽课,还有专门为妈妈和宝宝开设的周末家庭瑜伽课堂。如果你对产前&产后瑜伽感兴趣,最好先和教练进行沟通,讨论一下你的需求,想要达到怎样的心理安抚效果以及瑜伽过程中的限制。
妈妈们可以带自己的宝宝(至少3个月大)来参加家庭瑜伽课,和宝宝进行亲密互动。教练称,这类瑜伽可以同时安抚妈妈和宝宝。通常情况下,产后妈妈心理上会离不开宝宝,在产后瑜伽课堂上显得焦虑而无法集中精力。这类课堂可以帮助妈妈在做瑜伽的同时将注意力集中在宝宝身上,宝宝则成了妈妈的支撑和负荷物。妈妈们还能在课上学习如何读懂婴儿传达的信息,这样就可以知道孩子是否有什么不舒服,此外,还能学习如何安抚宝宝等。
