Do you do it? Do you find it helpful for climbing?
What studios in Lex are good/bad?
What videos for home?
Having visited several studios in Lex I think the power, flexibility, core, balance and mental aspects should directly translate to climbing. Having said that I have not yet seen direct gains. But, I find it challenging and calming at the same time. Should be enough to keep it from getting boring.
My local experience so far.
Bikram on Southland- Hot yoga, pose to pose, no flows. Challenging physically, not calming mentally
Lexington Masssage and Yoga in Dudley Square - "Speedball" hot yoga, flow based, physically challenging, weird music
TMMK fitness Georgetown - flow based, calming, challenge level dependent on teacher (typically beginner level)
Video experience
P90x - Yoga X - flow based, challenging physically, a little cheesy
