My only regret is that I did not start taking classes here sooner! :(…read more I have been wanting to try aerial yoga for a long time but kept putting it off because I was not sure if it was for me and if I would be able to keep up with the class. When I finally decided to give it a try I bought the intro package of 4 classes (2 regular and 2 aerial). I took 2 Forrest Yoga classes with Camille and absolutely loved them (however, I did decide to stick to the original plan and continue on with aerial yoga classes only)! I took one beginners aerial yoga class and then an aerial strength TRX class and realized that I totally can keep up with the class and it soon became one of my favorite work-outs! Being in the area on weekends only, I try to always make it a priority to take Jessica's aerial yoga core strength class and Meg's aerial barre class. Both Jessica and Meg are absolutely amazing at what they do and passionate about it. Jessica takes the time to make sure every member of the class feels comfortable with everything we do involving the aerial swing. I always feel like the class is a great mix of core work and some relaxation moments (the inversion at the beginning and end of class and the peppermint pillow at the end :) ). Meg's upbeat personality always makes the class a joy to be in! Meg focuses a lot on posture while working on core as well. You may not feel like you are doing a lot in the moment throughout small movements, but you are sure to feel it afterwards! I have also taken one class with Audrey, who was subbing one morning and LOVED it. I got an AMAZING core workout and only wish I had the opportunity to make it to more of her classes! I highly recommend taking classes at Good Karma! The instructors and classes are amazing and the price is totally reasonable! It is also super easy to sign up for classes using the MindBody app on your phone! :)

I came here with my friend to do a vinyasa class while in town. While I have no complaints about…read morethe instruction or the actual yoga, the atmosphere of this studio is very unusual. It's in a sort of industrial warehouse space. Very high ceilings and little sound proofing between the studios. While I was attending the class, I was really bothered by the amount of noise coming from a group of teenage girls who I think were doing aerial yoga in another studio. Really killed the vibe of the vinyasa class especially during the relaxation portion in the last 10 minutes. Also, this studio is very dog friendly, so folks with allergies please note this. Especially in the entry way, there were a couple dogs including one that appears to belong to the owners. Not sure I'd come back here which is not something I say lightly about a yoga studio.

I cannot say enough good words about Gail & ADF. I have been dancing here for a little over a year…read morenow, and can happily say I've found my home studio. Gail, and the rest of the teachers at ADF, are second to none! The classes are challenging but also great for all levels. I danced through high school and college, and tried returning elsewhere shortly after, but nothing really stuck. Since being at ADF I have improved as a dancer more in a year than I feel I have throughout my whole career. Gail even helped me get back into pointe shoes after a ten year hiatus! The studio, teachers, and other students create a very welcoming, warm, and non-judgmental environment conducive to emotional and physical growth as a dancer and human overall. Great opportunities, FANTASTIC STAFF, and a wide variety of classes and workshops. I LOVE ADF!!!!!

She pushes us within our own minds, bodies, and abilities, understanding that at 40 we're not likely to develop perfect turnout and 180-degree extension, but we can still strive for perfect technique within whatever turnout and extension we have. Her combinations are both challenging and fun to dance--in my 35+ years of ballet classes, her combinations have provided some of the most enjoyable choreography I've danced. It is a true joy to work with her.

I have been…read moretraveling to Albany for work since November of 2018, every single time I come up here I try a yoga studio. Every single time I have been let down, disappointed and left needing to go back to the hotel room and use their gym. This morning I dragged my coworker to this little gem. We were greeted by a warm & welcoming lady named Joni who was the instructor. She signed us in, the owner popped out and gave us a tour. What a wonderful, positive, welcoming, restoring space. I felt excited to take this class and OMG I was NOT disappointed. I got to start my day right, I had the ability to continue not only my practice, but to practice self care when I'm so far from home and away from my normal routine. There is good yoga and sometimes, you have to wade through a lot of other stuff to find the good stuff. I found the good stuff at Studio 4. If you are reading this, and you want a really great yoga experience go to Studio 4.
