First the studio is situated very centrally in the Sathorn Nakorn tower and very easy to find. When I arrived at the YogaSutra studio reception, I was nicely greeted and the receptionist had me on the list. The reception area is peaceful and very nicely done, you are right away in the yoga ambiance as soon as you arrive. Lockers, showers and restrooms are available along with towels and have been recently re-done. Water is available as well as a wide range of yoga accessories if you need. Overall the place is very upscale. Then I entered the yoga room and what a surprise: the view is absolutely amazing. YogaSutra is located on the 32nd floor of the tower and the studio is surrounded by windows, some of them being floor to ceiling giving you a fantastic view on the city. Then the teacher arrived and welcomed me in perfect English. I signed up for a power yoga class and found the instructor very high quality. First he made the class challenging showing us a wide range of poses and making us stay the right time on the poses. I particularly enjoyed that the teacher moved in the studio to correct our poses and we was able to use the mirrors smartly so everybody could see the correct positions. Moreover, he did the class in Thai repeating everything in English, so very easy for a non-Thai speaker like me. Overall I am very happy with the experience and coming from New York where yoga is king, I have very high expectations. The place is upscale with very nice facilities, a fantastic view, and very high standard yoga teachers. I have tried a few places in Bangkok before YogaSutra and was disappointed. YogaSutra is definitively the place to go if you are looking for a very high quality yoga experience.
