east meets west is a well rounded studio with a wide variety of classes. they are all a good workout. (except gentle/restorative, which i kindly refer to as "nap yoga") you honestly can't beat Anita's classes at east meets west, so if you can make it to her classes at all, i would recommend them. (she probably doesn't teach a beginner's class, though.)
the himalayan institute is a much slower, inwardly focused type of yoga. you won't leave the classes feeling like you did a workout, even with the level 3, but you will feel more spiritually refreshed and relaxed. this is much more similar to how they practice yoga in india. they only have a couple drop in classes per week; they really want you to sign up for an 8 week session.
i do not recommend buffalo yoga. it was convieniently located for me for a while, but the classes are really not very good, many taught by inexperienced teachers.
i used to teach yoga, and i did my training at the himalayan institute. email me back if you want any other advice!
