There's no doubt about it - I am picky about the places at which I do yoga. I can enjoy any yoga…read moreclass I take, as I strongly believe that you get out of something what you put into it. However, not a lot of instructors really put enjoyment INTO my practice. And, not a lot of studios feel welcome. As an instructor myself, I enjoy learning from all different teachers in a variety of styles. I happened to be pleasantly surprised when on a whim, I decided to take a class on the fourth of July. It was a vinyasa flow class, and I generally don't take a lot of vinyasa flow classes because my experiences are that many instructors throw in a lot of sun salutes, make you do the same sequence of poses, and you never really hold poses long enough to let yourself find a comfortable edge. Without writing a book about the class, I'll say that Katy did a great job of creating a flow that did not rush, let us stick around long enough to make adjustments, but it never took away from the adhesiveness of the class. Every pose and sequence had a purpose. Every correction and all commentary was appropriate and never long-winded. I then went the next morning when beach yoga got rained out, and loved it just as much. I'm making a move to Cape Ann next fall and can't wait to make this my regular home! p.s. I REALLY love 90 minute classes and I hope they continue to offer them :)

My husband and I were visiting town for the long weekend and decided to take Alli's Sunday morning…read morevinyasa class. It was the perfect start to our day! The studio was easy to find, the woman at the check-in desk was efficient and friendly at getting us signed up, and she even let us borrow two yoga mats for free which was much appreciated as we were traveling without our usual personal mats. The studio upstairs was quite hot (unintentionally, I believe) but Alli kept everyone motivated and present despite the heat. The studio is sizable and pretty with lots of assistive props to borrow. Alli's flow was really dynamic and challenging. I also am a yoga teacher, and I found myself enjoying her class a lot! Would definitely come back if we are in the area again!

My boyfriend and I were referred to Lin, the massage therapist, from our innkeeper at Inn Magnolia…read more We were wanting to get some good R & R while away from our weekend get away and that's exactly what we got! Lin is a professionally licensed therapist, and her diplomas decorate the walls in the massage room she used for us. Although we unfortunately couldn't schedule a same-time massage couples session, Lin DID try to arrange it for us, but no such luck. Just for the effort involved, I was pleased! Don't be fooled where the entrance is! It's to the left side of the building! I actually ended up calling Lin because I was that much of a space cadet. She was patient and met us at the front lobby. Since chivalry isn't dead, my babe let me indulge in my session first! Lin even showed us a heated floor yoga room that she invited him to meditate in while I was away; super awesome! Don't be shy! Go to the closet and grab a mat and be one with your breath! The massage: It was nothing short of AMAZING! She is incredibly skilled and worked my troublesome back and tight neck. The hour flew by, like it always does, and Lin was very in-sync as to whether she was applying too much or too little pressure. Be sure to speak up - she encourages it! We would definitely come back in a heartbeat to visit this lovely peaceful haven in this quiet town! CHECK this woman OUT!!!

I have been to the 222 Arts & Wellness Center for a number of different services. Most often I get…read moredeep tissue massage from Lin Chandler (Aspyre Bodyworks) and she is AWESOME. She combines many techniques (I don't know the names of all the styles), definitely deep enough to be therapeutic and solve nasty muscular aches and pains but she also does yummy feel-good relaxation stuff so that you leave the place feeling all floppy and happy. It is not just her technique that does it tho' -- Lin is the most warm, good hearted person you will ever meet and I always look forward to going back. She runs the center with a huge heart and amazing positive energy. I've also attended Margi Green's terrific Relax and Lengthen class, which is a hybrid of her own creative design and a great experience. The center offers all kinds of other services as well, and many community-oriented events, some of which I've attended. The place is always warm and welcoming (and Lin keeps the place in great condition. Her gardens and beautiful too!); I totally recommend checking it out.

I tried Empower Yoga for a few weeks during their discounted monthly membership trial period…read more Absolutely loved the classes I took and there seemed to be a good sense of community between the instructors and students. Class offerings and time options are also really good for the area with lots of morning classes and good variety between yoga, Pilates and weight based classes. Classes are challenging too which is so important to me. My only downfall with this place and why I can't be a permanent member is I can't get over the fact that there are no mirrors in the studio!! I understand this may be common for traditional yoga studios but if you offer these type of weighted classes how can there not be a mirror to check form. Personally a mirror helps me make that mind/body/muscle connection way more but maybe I'm alone in that.

The studio is small…read morebut spacious and everyone there is friendly and accommodating if classes start to get full and potentially crowded. I've never had a bad instructor here! Cost is reasonable and you can occasionally pick up a voucher deal (i.e. Living Social, Amazon Local) if you're trying to keep costs low. The Friday or Sunday evening restorative/Yin yoga classes are a great way to end your week. Rebecca is one of the gentlest, most pleasant instructors I've ever taken a class with (and I've taken a lot of yoga classes!). The Monday night slow flow vinyasa with Joanna is a perfect balance between gentle and challenging and an awesome way to start your week. I've also had a massage here in the past (a few years back) - I think I asked for an accupressure massage. It was worth every cent. There are other massage therapists in Quincy that I would recommend instead almost exclusively due to cost (Theresa at A Healthy Balance, anyone at Thai Health Spa), but you won't be getting a bad treatment if you go here.
