Each posture was done with intention with a luxurious, long hold that help me feel a wonderful stretch.

The teacher mentioned how this pose promotes a healthy thyroid. The atmosphere was friendly and intimate. I highly recommend checking out this yoga studio!

Over the winter - my husband (and running czar) must have realized this as he purchased me a 10 class card to Newington Yoga Center, located on the "main drag" of Newington. The yoga studio has a small waiting area when students can leave their bags, shoes, etc but a fairly large practice space. I am not very well versed in the different types of yoga but all of the teachers I have encountered have been helpful, gently moving me into the correct position or allowing me to practice how I am feeling that day. I might not get all the moves correctly or be able to lift myself off the ground in the lotus position (and believe me I have tried) but it has helped me work out the kinks, stretch and lengthen and more importantly leave feeling a sense of peace and centeredness I most times did not have before class.

What I love about this studio that sets them apart from others is the variety of classes offered for all levels and types of people. Some of my favorite classes so far are: power flow yoga ( a MUST take class with instructor Bethany) , multi flow vinyasa, barre (take Kimies class!!!!), HIIT (Pattie is motivating) and low body blast. And I haven't even tried them all yet! There are a multitude of workshops that happen every month, from meditation, to restorative yoga, to yoga with your children, to focusing on healing just one part of your body. They even do ugly sweater yoga at a brewery every year! ALSO, there is a wellness studio on the second level with doctors of natural medicine, physical therapy, mental therapy. And Verbena!! A spa center where they offer massage, acupuncture, a salt room... it just keeps getting better. I haven't gotten a massage yet, but it's on my "to-do" list. Really tho.... can you ask for anything else? I seriously recommend anyone young or old, male or female to check out Bloom... who knows you might find what has been missing in your life! I know I did.

I also enjoy the variety of classes. I am more of a traditional yogi, but I like that there are also Barre method, pilates, and weights classes in the schedule. I just bought a month membership, so it will definitely provide for an all-inclusive workout! The studio is immaculate and spacious. It has a small, family feel, and yet it is run like an organized business. I am a long-time yogi, and I am very excited to bring my experience and business here!

The location of this studio is perfect, you can take a walk before or after through old wethersfield. My friend and I went for brunch at heirloom market after.

I've walked by the shop a few times on my way to other businesses in the facility and my curiosity finally lead me in. The Hidden Gem is a descent size shop, clean, organized, and has a lovely aroma of incense. It felt very inviting and open. They have a huge assortment of crystals, stones, and gems--small and large. There is a large display of incense too. Many other treasures can be found throughout the shop like candles, plants, and unique items from local artists and brands. I found adorable Alice in Wonderland candles that I may need to return for. Everything seemed fairly priced too. The shop's staff are beyond nice and they have readers (tarot, physic, crystal) at the shop everyday. Whether you are looking to add some enchantment to your everyday life or looking for a unique gift for a crystal loving friend, Hidden Gem On Main is the spot! It's also fun to browse around too like I did on my first visit. I will likely be back to do a little gift shopping soon.

I personally have attended some of these events. They will also feature crafts/jewelry from local artists. Check out their website or Facebook page for announcements and events.
