Pradipik studio, now called the center for yoga and wellness, has two locations. The one in Clinton…read moreand another one in Guilford just off goose Lane on route one. I'm surprised this old listing hasn't been claimed and updated. I've gone to this studio since they opened about 13 years ago. It's improved a lot, including opening the second location in Guilford. And name change after Petra bought it from OG. I appreciate that only the power classes are hot and that you can do regular flow in a reg temperature room. They tend towards more yin positions (ie slower but harder to hold asanas. Less likely to get injured in this method. They have morning and evening classes. I will speak with the owner about claiming this business!

Tarot cards on the table: I don't love Yoga. I don't even like it that much, even though I know…read moreit's great for you. I've tried it several times over the years, but have found it a bit too earnest and intentional for my easily-distractible mind and a little too challenging for my large-motor, hopelessly inflexible body. All that changed, however, after one session at Pradipika-which ironically means to illuminate or shed light on-Yoga. Diaphanously dressed Marcy led our Power Vinyasa class in the small, yummy smelling studio. Her pace was persistent, but allowed for ample time to make adjustments or suggestions for modifications in either direction of difficulty. At various times during the class she'd oh-so subtly and gently reposition me. And at the risk of sounding creepy let's just say, her magic touch almost made me want to strike the wrong pose. I also loved the overall vibe of her class; particularly the music which featured my personal favorite Aimee Mann. The owner, Jennifer Dahlgren offers a full complement of classes-including a series designed just for kids-for people at all levels of their practice. Classes: Everything from the basics to hot yoga Schedule: 3 - 5 classes a day Atmosphere: Light, clean and of course Zen.

Debi Testa really knows her stuff. I appreciate that her yoga instruction is always really…read morepersonalized. It feels like "yoga for the rest of us." I did Bikram yoga for years and I had a feeling that it wasn't good for me. I'm hypermobile and prone to adrenal fatigue, but the instructors just kept pushing me through the strenuous poses and the heat. It was no surprise, really, when I I ended up with migraines and overstretch syndromes. Debi's style is a revelation. She pays attention to each and every student, and while her yoga definitely makes you feel like you've gotten a workout, it feels gentle and supportive instead of strenuous. She promotes the simplicity and inclusiveness of yoga culture, not the spandex and $300 yoga mat approach. Debi also offers Bach Flower Remedies. i think she's one on a only a handful of consultants in the state! I haven't found anyone else in her area. I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about Bach and Polarity Therapy, as well.

Gorgeous building. Views of the water, rough hewn beams! Very clean space with convenient restroom…read more I took a free class for New Year Day which perfectly coincided with my search for a new place to get healthy, and my husband has never tried Yoga! After filling out waivers we were given choice of loaner mats and props. Everything was clean and tidy. The group was very diverse in terms of having men, and people of various ages, body types and abilities. We were told this class would be focused more on energy and might not be indicative of a regular workout. The class lasted about an hour, with a very slow start and in general was a little subdued. Debi gave everyone individual energy work touch to start out and she also offers energy work as a service. The whole vibe and energy was a little on the serious side for me, and I don't believe in Reiki, I prefer less focus on chakras and a little more laughter! That being said I wonder if one of the "regular" workouts might be less touchy feely! :) Regardless of my personal spiritual slant, I'd highly recommend this place for the sheer beauty of looking at the water during practice! What a treat.

I had a mixed experience with Shakti. I saw her twice and then covid-19 happened and so .I couldn't…read morelet her into my private space. I don't usually opt for packages but bought a series of ten ($1,650) before the virus happened. I would not have done this if I had to do it over. I asked for my money back and it looks like she'll send me a few checks (not the full amount) even though hers is a non refundable agreement (which I didn't know). Anyway, I hardly know her and appreciate that she will send me some money.

What an amazing first experience! For years I've been wanting to try this place out and we finally…read moredid. We rented paddle boards for a great fee. They gave great information upon booking the reservation on the phone. Parking was very easy but depending what time you go I'd go sooner for parking! The women who checked us in was very sweet. She explained everything to us. She told us where to go and how to stay safe. The man who got us on the boards was equally as nice. He gave us a quick course on how to use the boards. The boards were much easy than I thought. I felt secure and got the hang of it pretty quickly. We paddled to an amazing area with a waterfall and past some beautiful houses and shoreline. I loved that you could kneel , lay , stand and just float in the water. It was definitely a fun day and I can't wait to do it again.

The other folks out on the water are always so nice as well helping one another out with pictures...it's a great clientele. Do yourself a favor and go out and enjoy all that is summertime!
