Ann is a master yogi, and by far the most experienced teacher you will find in this part of the…read moreworld (nearly 40 years teaching, trained in India by a master named Iyengar). She is very patient and effective, giving detailed and thorough instruction for each movement. The yoga class I take is beginners and it is just the right amount of challenge to be absolutely satisfying. She has extra mats, ropes, blocks and all the essentials you need, though I suggest getting your own mat eventually. The class starts with a gathering of awareness that continues into the movements until you feel a connection to the body that hasn't been experienced before. There is an inherent spiritual presence felt when taking her classes as compared to anywhere else, which I believe is due to her mastery and years of practice. This is true yoga as intended to be taught, not the new trendy fitness versions we have today, where teachers have no experience, they just have abs. This yoga will keep you fit but also achieve the opening of the heart and uplift want of the spirit as it is intended to do. Ann is a really special resource and I highly recommend taking her classes!

I love that the instructor started the class with a wonderful affirmation from a new book. Her intention for the class stuck with me throughout the entire day - I feel that so often I attend a yoga class and the focus shifts entirely to just the physical aspect of yoga, and not enough to the meditative state, but this class was the perfect example of both. I also loved the for the warm vinyasa flow, the instructor guided us through some pose options that were not super typical, giving the class a great twist with new energy. If I lived closer I would definitely be returning!!

I'm not "fit" or flexible and I didn't know anything about yoga. I just knew that I wanted to see if it would help me. I started asking questions through email. Sara-Grace answered them all in an encouraging, informative way. She instantly made me feel welcomed. There is a 2 week, VERY affordable, package that lets you take unlimited classes. I took just about every beginner class they offered....multiple times. It was a great way to learn that not all yoga is the same. ( I didn't know that.) Every teacher I met was SO welcoming. They reminded the class that they should stay in their own personal comfort zone. They always made me feel like it was ok to focus on my personal growth while still teaching the more seasoned participants at the level they require. I've really settled in to Restorative Yoga. It's a safe space to work on physical and emotional awareness and nurturing. Meng Le offers a comfortable space and guides the class on a journey of physical and emotional comfort. In a perfect world, she would teach every day and I would attend every class. The studio space is clean. They offer props and mats so you can dive right in without buying anything. It's wonderful to have a place of peace to be a part of.

This class was by far the best barre class I've ever taken! The instructor, Juliana, was so welcoming, motivating and knowledgeable on proper form and technique. The class was a perfect mix of barre work, mat work, and weighted exercises - the hour class flew by. I feel like this would be a perfect place for barre beginners since it's much less intimidating than the typical vibe at pure barre, but is also an incredible, advanced work out for people who have taken barre previously. I'm so sad I don't live closer to the barre effect. I'll definitely be coming back to this studio any time I'm in the area!
