   it really depends on your personal preference. i would highly recommend east meets west yoga on elmwood and the himalayan institute on delaware. the important thing is that some teachers are much better than others, even within the studio.
   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!
