I've been coming to Palm Studio for various classes for almost a year and it has only gotten…read morebetter.
Location: Convenient, flexible hours and easy to get to being centered on Dearborn St.
Atmosphere: Warm, welcoming and you are usually greeted with a smile as you enter the boutique.
Business: The sales area has an array of hand picked or made metaphysical items, including jewelry, raw and polished gemstones, soap, clothing, etc.
As you go further in, you enter the room where larger classes are held. They ~literally ~ have something for everyone. Any age, any gender, and any experience level. Classes include Yin, Ariel, Barre, Hot, Pilates Mat, Gentle, etc. I promise, there will be something for you.
As you proceed down the hall they have their Pilates equipment set up. Susan is a fantastic instructor and works within your limits. Call and schedule a date with her.
Finally, in the back is a smaller room set up for smaller classes.
A water cooler is also available if you need.
Instructors: All instructors are experienced, clear, concise, professional and treat all with respect. I have taken various classes but tend to go to the more gentle classes. I can highly recommend Bethany's gentle, Marilyn and Annie's Yin and Susan's Pilates and Mat classes.
Notes: They do accept walk-ins, however they tend to keep the classes small so they can work with each person and make any adjustments needed. So, MAKE A RESERVATION using the app Vagaro or call the boutique and Kari (owner) will set you up. Especially during season (the winter months).
Extras: They also hold various other events to include Crystal Bowl Concert & Yoga, Fasical Stretch, Psychic readings and more as they present themselves.
Finally: It took me a long time to find a place in the area that had the right "vibe". This place and the wonderful people that frequent there are absolutely amazing.
