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.

Bikram Yoga might not be for everyone but it certainly is for me…read more Just a light background on Bikram Yoga, it is the same 26 postures every class. Instructors actually have the same dialogue that they are to repeat each class. Class is held in a room that is 104 degrees and very humid. If you have issues with heat you may want to be wary about practicing bikram. You face wall of mirrors and the instructor stands on a platform and recites the dialogue. It is much different then other yoga styles classes. I think that the heat makes it much easier to come into a meditative state. The first 5-7 classes are the hardest, but once you get used to the flow, used to the dialogue, you learn quickly. I would recommend if you are trying to for the first time to get a one month membership, so that you go a bunch of times. This is the best way to try bikram (actually any studio really) This Bikram Yoga Auburn studio is a great place. They have a TON of class times to choose from, especially in the winter when it gets really busy. The teachers all bring their own unique stories to the dialogue which is very enriching. You pick up something new every class. The teachers are all very friendly and love to answer questions after class. Sam, the owner, is at the height of this. He is friendly, engaging, and very knowledgable. He has his own personal story about healing through Bikram Yoga and it's nice to hear his stories in class, and ask for advice or any random question that pops into my head after class. It also is in a very central location, in Auburn right off of either highway (395/290 or Mass Pike). Would definitely recommend! Give it a try! Bikram Yoga has healed many injuries and helped people lose a lot of weight or just generally get healthier!

I signed up for another live stream class but ended up canceling as I didn't feel well. Well I received an email tonight saying they were charging me an additional $10!!!!!! for canceling the live stream class. OK, I get IN PERSON, they would charge a cancelation fee because it takes away a slot from another person, but their live steam slots are unlimited!!! I should have just kept myself registered or logged in. This is unbelievable, I have never heard of anything like this and I did NOT consent to my card to be charged and I will be disputing it with my credit card company and NOT returning for any more classes. Additionally, upon further research it looks like they charge you a "late cancel" fee for in-person classes after your second offense, so I still for the life of me cannot believe they fraudulently charged my card for a missed virtual class with unlimited slots. I'm livid. Buyer beware.

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!

Well I don't often give poor reviews, but I feel in this instance I need to provide a word of…read morecaution to my fellow Zumba lovers. First off, this group's Zumba is actually pretty good. Definitely doable for all levels, reasonable variety of classes, studio is decent. I've attended better, but these rank well. Now the down side. I had a pretty bad experience with their payments. While you can pay per class, that is pretty costly and so their other options look really tempting when you decide you want to continue classes. There's an option for buying up to 10 classes per time - though not the cheapest, I should have stuck to that one. Instead I opted for a monthly payment deducted from my account beginning in July of last year (I checked on that first payment to make sure it went through) - the cheapest option if you take several classes a week. It was fine for a while, but as winter approached I couldn't attend enough classes to make it worthwhile due to work (I live in another state, so could only attend after work). I decided to keep the monthly payments until the New Year as a way to continue funding the group as I knew they were struggling to outfit their new studio. I only attended a few times, but I thought it was worth it as good Zumba is hard to come by. In January though, knowing I was going on my honeymoon and then transitioning jobs that would take me out of the geographic area of the studio I asked them to stop the charges. They agreed. But in February I received another receipt for payment via email, which is how they had acknowledged previous payments drawn from my account. I sent back an email reminding them that I had discontinued and please reimburse that payment. They then called me to say that actually, even though I had received receipts every month, my account hadn't been charged since the previous August. I checked my account and they were right. And this is where I got upset. Instead of apologizing they basically explained the fact that their billing and receipts were completely separate systems and it was my fault for not checking my account to verify that the money they provided the receipt for had actually been deducted. I thought a receipt WAS a proof of payment (according to legal dictionaries, it is), so even though I keep records of charges, I didn't think to double check this one. I've now had two phone calls with the owners of the studio, neither were pleasant. Despite the fact that I have never owed on a single account in my entire life, they accused me of trying to renege on past dues and didn't even want to listen to a single thing I said. They made me feel as if I was not only in the wrong for not monitoring my payments, but also not worth listening to. I will be paying their bill - $290 - I never said I wouldn't. I always pay what I owe. However, such a lump sum is not easy to handle. They offered a 3 payment option, but at this point I'm done with them and do not want to prolong the process. In my first conversation with them one of the owners had made the excuse that I shouldn't get upset with them as they were only Zumba instructors. I pointed out that they were also business owners and this was very poor business practice. It is also extremely poor customer service. So please just be careful.

After randomly injuring my neck last week and it going away and coming back yesterday I thought it was best that I check myself into a yoga class for much needed relaxation and destressing. As soon as I walked into Central Mass I was put at ease. All of the ladies working at the front were very nice and asked me what I was looking for in a class. I decided on the restorative slow flow class. They have you take off your shoes before coming into any class as the floors creek and they want to keep it as quiet as possible. As I entered the class my body melted to the floor. Mandi took us through an hour and fifteen minutes of body strengthening and relaxing poses. We used straps, blosters and blocks to open up our hips, stretch our legs, and repair and restore parts that may have been aching! I loved this class so much that I decided to purchase the two week pass for $30 that is only open to first time students. It gives you unlimited classes and saves you a lot as a drop in class is $17. I've been back for two more classes since then and every teacher is amazing!
