Still, their heated vinyasa still got some sweat going, and they the environment is calm and beautiful. Discounts for seniors, juniors, veterans/military, and first-timers, so you should drop by! 5 stars for the staff and yoga itself; a bit less due to amenities (i.e. no showers, limited bathroom and changing space, no lockable lockers). Bathrooms: 1 single-occupancy bathroom on the other end of the classroom. Also, there's a small curtained-off area for changing, about the size of a closet, also single-occupancy. That said, I don't see the traffic here being so high that it's a big issue.

Her weekly yoga practice helped me find more balance and focus during a transitional (and sometimes stressful) time in my life. I've never met an instructor so willing to tailor each class to the needs of her participants, while still being able to challenge each of us to discover new limits to our abilities. I am extraordinarily grateful for the loving guidance Tanja provided. The accepting, care-free environment she creates in her studio was a unique and refreshing welcome back into a yoga practice. As I leave Mendocino, I am so sad to be leaving Tanja, but am also excited to take the lessons of mindfulness, compassion, and balance she helped guide me to through our practice. I would highly recommend Tanja to others looking for a more individualized, fun, and loving yoga practice.

I don't even know where to begin. After weeks of intense pain, I went to my doctor's appointment…read moreand was diagnosed with back arthritis. At 36 years old, with five kids ranging from 19 years to 2 years old, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. I could barely stand, doing day to day things was painful and traveling by car was miserable. I confided in one of my closest friends about the pain and my growing dependence on muscle relaxers, along with the other issues they were causing. My friend mentioned Lauren to me again and said, "You must go see her." After canceling and reconsidering multiple times, I finally decided to schedule an appointment. When I first met Lauren, I was in immense pain, feeling depressed and lost. After a very emotional appointment, I felt pain and heavier at moments, but there was something about Lauren and her willingness to help others that made me think I should give this health and body process a chance. I started my journey that same day, pushing through the pain and beginning my healing process. The very next day, I was able to do things I had only dreamed of doing again, like tying my shoes--just the little things that had become impossible for me. I felt like a whole new person. Going to Lauren changed my life and made me feel like I could do anything. Most recently, I started jogging and taking long car rides again! I will forever be thankful for her, and I believe she was put in my path at the right time. Juliet

At that time he also was really excited to start classes in Thai massage that apparently he's now completed. I can't wait for my next appointment - I'm overdue!

I love Ayurvedic massage and the session I had today as a new patient was just what I needed. I…read morehave had hundreds of massages from dozens of practitioners and I would rate Nicole in the top 5% of all I have experienced. The office is easy to access and parking was available (although during weekends and tourist season it might be a good idea to allow 15 min to park before your appointment). Inside the waiting room was pleasant, the bathroom was clean and the treatment room smelled good (mild - not too strong) and had nice music. I arrived on time and Nicole was ready. She greeted me and invited me into a very cozy treatment room. After a short conversation (3 or 4 questions) about medical history, what brought me in and style preferences, she invited me to get on the table. Nicole started gently, probing and assessing to see what her training and my requests together suggested would be most helpful. From the first touch it was obvious that Nicole is a compassionate, sensitive, confident, experienced and well-trained massage therapist. The whole massage was relaxing and clearly theraputic. After the massage we discussed herbal supplements that might support my healing and I purchased a jar of Chawanprash. My personal reason for going in was to help recover from a serious UTI/kidney infection and get some support for side-effects from antibiotics (e.g. muscle aches, edema, constipation). Nicole knew exactly how to work with my body to ease into releasing the discomfort. She did a fabulous job of listening to my breath and following my body's clues about when to go deeper, linger longer or move on. As I walked out I noticed several things: 1. I could feel my deep muscle aches were gone. 2. I could see that there was a reduction of edema. 3. I knew already that I would be going back soon. BOTTOM LINE: If you want a truly therapeutic massage in Mendocino, you will be doing yourself a favor to go see Nicole.

It is a great studio comes with a lot of personality. People are super friendly and helpful. I got situated. The cartoon illustration on the wall is awesome and somewhat inspiring! Ha. Flooring was not your typical studio flooring. More of a fuzzy mat texture. 60 min class always come with their own sequences. Good to see each instructor's preference. I think the classroom itself doesn't retain heat very well. So the heater was on the whole time with hot air circulating. It is not a quiet class (with hot air blowing) but it masks my bones cracking. Ha. Instructor is nice. They also offer inferno Pilates. I noticed the weight offered here is decent. Looks like a good workout. I would love coming back again next time I am in town. Love it.
