I was sick of the gym, I hated running and I hadn't seen my abs for a decade. I'd had enough. My…read morefriend suggested yoga to increase flexibility enough to not get hurt playing ice hockey. I feel so lucky to have found Paula at Shanti. She started me with a fitness class which focuses on toning and strengthening my core, as well as a Beginner's Yoga class to work on strength, balance and flexibility. She has a fantastic demeanor and vast knowledge to teach, guiding me through the process while motivating me to realize my capabilities. I've subsequently found that I still have both abs and obliques, dropping 15lbs and a belt size. But the unique thing is that I enjoy it. No excuses, no dreading it, and no boredom. Paula clearly puts a tremendous amount of time into preparing for each class. Going into my fifth month, each class is still different. I'm seeing results, feeling results and I'm not bored. After experiencing other instructors, my more experienced classmates would consistently recommended Paula highly...and now I do too...

You will find yourself counting the hours and minutes until you can go to class... and the variety…read moreof classes has something for everyone: weights, core exercises, yoga... you name it, Paula offers it! Paula is supportive and relaxed... all the while encouraging you to push yourself to the next level of a stronger, more balanced and confident YOU! If you are interested in giving yourself (or someone you love) the best gift ever, then this is it. I received my first 'class card' as a gift from my husband and have been taking classes for over 2 years now and can not believe the positive changes I have experienced in both body and mind! Classes are energizing, fun and very, very reasonably priced (check around you will quickly see the value)! Paula is phenomenal and you will never know how cool it feels to do you first "inversion"... until you try! Shanti Yoga and Fitness... DO IT FOR YOU!

Tatyana Vinnikova is a skilled yoga teacher and a consummate professional. She brings to her…read morestudents the clarity and lightness of yoga's ever complex world of poses, concepts, and other aspects. She teaches you how by bringing yoga into your everyday life, you will start to live and deal with life's problems in a calm, serene way. Every class I take with Tatyana I learn something new and she is very much in tune to any physical injuries her students have had or are dealing with at the present moment. She includes alternate ways to ensure that certain poses can still be done if an injury keeps you from performing the regular pose. I recommend you attend one of Tatyana's classes, you will walk out of feeling enlightened and will say to yourself, "can't wait to take another one of Tatyana's classes"....

I found this studio to be unfriendly and the owner to be rude and unprofessional. The yoga…read morepractice is alright but the transitions are to quick from movement to movement to enjoy the poses. The owner talks non stop during the practice even sometimes swearing. When walking into the studio it's an unfriendly vibe and you cannot speak to the person next to you while waiting for class to start or you get reprimanded in front of everyone even though this rule is not anywhere in the studio. Overall not as good as some other studios,

I was disheartened to read one of the reviews left about Lisa. It could not be further from the…read moretruth. Originally, Lisa worked with me to build a yoga program within my community, which is roughly one hour away from Lisa's community. From the first moment we spoke, Lisa was fully committed and determined throughout the growing pains of building a new program. After one year, Lisa and I both arrived at the realization that the program would not be self sustaining. I asked Lisa if she would be interested in doing a private class for me once a week, which she was, and the fee was minimal considering her travel time and our time together. Lisa and I practiced together for roughly three years. Throughout that time, Lisa provided amazing guidance along my journey, and her teaching style is one that strips away any intimidation, and results in a deep trust. Lisa is very personable and so intelligent. I looked forward to the many interesting conversations we had as much as the practice itself. Anyone who is left feeling that 'you' are not the center of Lisa's practice is misguided. Yes, this is her business and livelihood so there is a financial component of the arrangement. That slice is the smallest piece of the pie. Jai

Her practice really concentrates on the spiritual aspect of yoga and it's ability to reduce stress...the only way I can explain it is that I leave each class with a little more respect for myself and my body. It's not a highly physical practice if that's what you're looking for.

I've only a done a few random videos here and there and I did the Gentle Yoga and I did fine. Gentle yoga is great to go as a stress relief and unwind, but the moderate and other classes are for the more experienced. The woman that runs it is so nice and I feel like it's reasonable priced, great schedule too. Morning an Evening classes which make it great to go after work!

I've been to one class so far, but I can tell from the energy of the space that it will be a good fit for me. The class I attended, on Saturday morning, was both restorative and challenging, the perfect mix to shake off the week and cleanse up for the weekend. The instructor's assists were well timed and perfectly aimed at my needs. She also finished off with a nice aromatherapy touch during savasana, including a great neck and shoulder stretch that was much needed. Thanks, Renee!!! Pricing is more than fair, and there's a reasonable availability of props. Try it, you will be pleased!

I've been coming to JTB Wellness Studios for both massages and classes for over 6 years, and I can…read morehonestly say it's one of the best wellness experiences I've ever had. It's easy to see why this studio has been a pillar in the community for well over a decade -- the level of care, professionalism, and deep-rooted expertise here is unmatched. Before JTB I visited massage therapists over the years, but Jess is truly unlike any other -- she has a gift. Her work is both precise and intuitive; she knows exactly where to focus and uses a variety of techniques that leave me feeling lighter, more mobile, and completely renewed. Every movement is intentional and deeply effective. She has an exceptional understanding of the body, using her own mechanics to reach and relieve tension in ways I've never experienced elsewhere. Even her draping technique sets her apart -- every detail reflects her skill, professionalism, and genuine care. It creates total comfort and trust from start to finish. If you see an opening on her schedule, grab it. And if not, you're still in great hands -- Jess mentors her team, and that commitment to quality and consistency shows in every session, no matter who you see. The classes are equally outstanding. Over the years, I've taken yoga, mat Pilates, strength, Bootcamp, barre, 305 (dance), Buti, and functional fitness -- and every instructor brings knowledge, encouragement, and a sense of community. The variety and quality are incredible, and each class feels approachable and empowering. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in, and I'm even thinking of trying their nutrition coaching program next. The space itself is clean, calming, and thoughtfully designed -- from the moment you enter, you feel at ease. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in your well-being. JTB is more than just a wellness studio -- it's a place built on years of experience, care, and intention. Whether you're looking for expert bodywork, motivating classes, or simply a place to reconnect with yourself, this is it. A true gem.
