    Fresh Yoga was the first and remains the best yoga studio in New Haven. Every class is great, you…read moredon't have to worry about which teacher is teaching when...just show up and get a great class. I also love that they offer sliding scale fees...it makes yoga accessible much more broadly. It's a very welcoming place without all the frills that can make yoga intimidating for first timers. Whether you are an established yogi or a first timer, Fresh is a great place to practice!

    I started practicing yoga over 18 years ago, after a move from Florida to Connnecticut in 2006, I…read morewas keyed into Fresh yoga by a more local yoga teacher at a smaller studio that soon ended up closing. Even back in 2006, finding Fresh was one of the best things that came out of my 9 years spent in that part of Connecticut. Fresh started as one studio and after a short duration of having 2 studios, is back to one. Erector Square is large, clean, comfortable and easy access off the highway with parking that is easy and no additional cost. Fresh always had tremendous diversity and that has been one of its greatest assets. Whether you want a high intensity, strength based class, a gentle flowing class, or more restorative option, there is something there for you if not today, tomorrow. Teachers are highly trained and unique in getting pose cues and placement tips across to students. They are (in "normal times") great with hands on adjustments but also respect everyone's personal preference and almost all with ask permission before offering physical adjustments. There is overall excellent knowledge of injury warnings and appropriate modification offerings. After I left the area in 2017, I lost "contact" with my favorite studio, but I never found anything even near to its caliber. I completed 3 teacher trainings at Fresh as well as did a year long mentorship with the owner. I was blessed by chance, in this time of cyber class offerings only to return to "class" at Fresh and am only more impressed than I had been over 10 years ago. I love that classes are offered at 3 different price levels to allow for spending what you feel classes are worth but also to balance not being too strapping on a limited budget. The teaching has progressed amazingly and just the voiced cues on Zoom classes help me feel better positioning and adjustment in my body. Over the past week, I've done 2 Forrest yoga classes, a core connection class, a Fresh flow class, 2 very different vinyasa classes ( no more sun salutations AD NAUSEUM at this place!) 2 very different Yin classes and a Yoga Tune up class! What more can I say. I am excited to return to the studio when its up and running again. I just wanted to post a stellar review online in this down time because these virtual classes so inspired my desire to take up yoga seriously again!

    Let me start with saying that I LOVE Zumba. It's the only workout that I have kept up consistently…read moreover the last two years. Although I enjoy a variety of instructor styles, I can still be very choosy with classes and studios. I LOVE STUDIO Z. I live in Dallas but was visiting family in Branford for the week and wanted to enjoy some home made Italian food without adding inches to my waistline. I found Studio Z online and decided to give it a try. Their website clearly states prices and class times, so I went in on a Monday to buy a block of 4 classes for $35. I was greeted by Danielle, the owner and her lovely mother and little girl. They were very welcoming and asked if I was new to Zumba. This question is one of the most important things to ask new comers and although I've been doing Zumba a while now, I really appreciated that they asked. The studio is large, clean, colorful and there is a platform for the instructors to stand on, which is a big bonus. There are cubbies to put your things in during class time. I only took Danielle and Nili's AM classes and I really enjoyed both instructors. Each brought a different take on Zumba, but they both kept the integrity of a Zumba class' components. I recommend that if you're new to Zumba that you take a class in the morning since they are less crowded and there are a lot of people on different levels. It will take a few classes to get used to it, but stick with it and ask questions! The instructors also offer modifications to either lower or up the intensity. Toning sticks, mats, and all the fixins' are provided if you don't have them so just bring yourself and have fun. Don't be intimidated by other people in the class because they were once new too and I found most people in the class to be very nice. The monthly unlimited is a bargain, I would totally go to this studio if I lived here!!! Next time I visit, I will be back to studio z!

    This is a fabulous Zumba studio. Classes are often packed with return dancers. Instructors are…read moreupbeat and easy to follow for beginners. The choreography isn't challenging, appropriate for intermediate level. They do offer the occasional master class. Some fans are placed to help you breathe. I wish parking were more plentiful and not as restricted; the wrong spot can get you towed or the business fined. I also enjoy how they participate in local events and charities.

    I was experiencing a continuous back ache for a few weeks due to long work hours and lack of sleep…read more I've tried everything: pills, regular massages, warm showers but with no improvement. I've heard about Dayna's unique massage methods from some of my friends so I decided to give a chance, nothing was helping anyway. The massage was approximately 45 minutes long, during which Dayna had used SuVeda Myaxyl oil and Ksheerabala oil. I was so surprised that what multiple methods of treatment couldn't solve, a more holistic approach is what made the difference! I felt like a brand new person, my back pain was gone and I couldn't be more thankful. Definitely a 5* for me!

    I am from the birth place of Ayurveda - Kerala, the southern most state in India. So, if I say,…read moreDayna is knowledgeable about Ayurveda and the various massage techniques, its like hearing from the horse's mouth. :) I went to Dayna for Abhyanga massage, just to get a feel for how Ayurvedic massages are done here and I wasn't disappointed. Nevertheless, I had a very relaxing experience. I left the oil on my body and head for 3- 4 hrs and then took a nice shower. It was extremely satisfying. Also, she takes payment by Venmo - loved it. :) The reason why I gave 4 star and not 5, is because Dayna has softer touch than I prefer. I like deep tissue with oil. I asked her if she can go harder, and she politely answered that she cannot and that is not her style. I am in search of an Ayurvedic massage therapist, who has bit more stronger hands. If I don't find one, I will be going back to Dayna.
