I was really torn about YogaLife Institute. Initially, I loved it because of the studio's…read morelocation: it's located halfway between work and home, i.e., coming here during the evening rush hour was a great way to hack my commute. After 90 days of visiting this studio regularly, I decided that this wasn't the place for me. It was a tough choice. I slept on it for many weeks. See below for cons and pros. Cons...let's get the poopy stuff out of the way first --Steep pricing; I chose the monthly unlimited for $145. Classes are not cheap here, but neither is the quality of instructors. It's the age old conundrum of you get what you pay for. --Very cliquey: The other clientele do not tend to be overtly friendly to newcomers. This studio also attracts some very experienced, intense yogis. Sometimes these folks are a lil too intense a.k.a. they take themselves a little too seriously. This might just be a me thing though; I need a studio where the emphasis is more on human connection and joy than on entering a contest of wills to see who can breathe the loudest and be the most detached. --Limited access to instructors: the instructors typically enter the studio right before class and beat feet immediately after Savasana wraps, which makes it hard to build a rapport with these amazing instructors and, above all, who doesn't want to build a rapport with one's yoga instructor? --Awkward encounter: Speaking of Savasana, I inadvertently walked in on a class that was running a little bit late. Totally accidental but so not a huge deal as I was being pin-drop quiet. The instructor at the other end of the room emphatically waved her arms at me -- I suppose the equivalent of yelling with hands -- and gestured very demonstratively towards the door. I slinked out of the room. The lady apologized later, but she totally over-reacted. Her arm waving made more noise than did my footsteps. And besides, I exit and enter the studio at least once during each class to pee. Sometimes even during Savasana. I never get waved away. Probably because I'm being visibly respectful and audibly noiseless. Not sure why this particular instructor was so offended. --I wish the studio floors were a little cleaner, but by no means were they disgusting. Pros...and there are many! --Instruction: These instructors give amazing instruction. I went to a variety of classes, and I was always blown away by how methodical, detail oriented, and knowledgeable these instructors are. A few of these instructors embrace a more spiritual mindset rather than physical exertion. I really enjoyed the spiritual overtures. It made for a more connected, joyful practice. I loved whenever the instructors would give a brief summary of a passage from the owner's book. Put good vibes in the air. --The owner: The owner is exceedingly friendly and exceedingly accessible. I wish the many knowledgeable instructors at YogaLife would take a page from his book since they read from it so frequently -- especially the oddly aloof cadre of students who are working towards certification. --The receptionist: One of the receptionists -- a younger woman -- was always super welcoming, warm, and extremely pleasant. I loved interacting with her! She has a very inclusive mindset, which I found very inviting. I found many of the other receptionists to be polite and courteous as well. --Variety of classes: This facility boasts two massive studios in which many different offerings are available throughout any given day. Variety of levels offered here is also a huge plus. --Location Location Location: Conveniently located off of major thoroughfares. --Peaceful environment: Although located off of major thoroughfares, both studios are calm, peaceful, and conducive to relaxation. --This studio offers really neat seminars. I never attended any due to scheduling conflicts, but I was intrigued nonetheless! --Amenities: There are massage therapists, acupuncturists, and therapists/social workers who meet with clientele on-site, which is dope AF! I never had a chance to use any of these services, so I can't speak to the quality. I've also never seen most of these services collocated with a yoga studio, but this combo makes perfect sense!

I've been a loyal barre-ist at Tuck since this June. Everyone I've met has been super friendly and…read morewelcoming. I highly recommend you take Sandy's barre classes. It's life changing!!! I've been suffering from carpal tunnel for the past three years. My physical therapist said that I needed more upper body strength workouts and barre classes at Tuck is a WHOLE-body workout! Seriously, I feel like I get my money worth. It took five classes to see changes in my body. I don't suffer from back pains or carpal tunnel as much anymore. Don't get me wrong. It's hard work to get in shape but I enjoy going here because I love how passionate everyone is at teaching their classes. They genuinely want you to get the most out of your workout and they do a fantastic job in creating a variety so you're not bored doing the same routine over and over again. If you're nervous or on the fence at giving this place a try. DON'T! This place welcomes everyone of all levels. (trust me I came worst than a beginner and Sandy had to correct me all the time! Luckily, it's not as much as it used to be, lol) Honestly this cute studio is the gem of Haverford~ I'm a lot happier both physically and emotionally because of Tuck~ btw if you're looking for a challenge, def give barre bounce a try~ it's super fun and I might see you there

My friend found this studio and told me about the fact that they offered Barre Class. Considering…read moreneither of us had done it before, and the first class was offered for free, we decided to give it a try. We had a group of friends join us for an 8 person class on a Saturday morning and ended up having the workout of our lives. Joanne's experience, focus and passion for teaching came through in the class and had us all motivated and energized within 15 minutes of our warm-up--and we didn't even need our morning coffee! The studio is small, but has an amazing rustic/intimate feel to it. Very clean and well kept. It was a laid back class--a GREAT thing for us beginners--but Joanne pushed us and made sure our focus stayed during the extremely strenuous portions of the workout. Barre is the type of workout that, within a few classes, you'll be able to notice a difference. Thank you to Joanne for pushing us and not letting us give up when we started to feel the burn. Can't wait to do the class again!

Japheth, the instructor, did a good job of adjusting the class to the skill level and experience of all who attended that class. From the warm up to the end of the class we did not stay still except when watching what to do. I thought the moves we learned were very practical and practicing them were fun as usual. Parts of the class actually wore me out a bit which was a pleasant surprise. Didn't know how hard I was going to get worked. I liked the class so much I signed up for a 10-class bundle which was 50% off ($75!) because it was my first class. There's also a free private session which I'm excited to attend. I'm really glad I checked this place out! Can't wait to see what else I'm gonna learn!
