I heard about Molly from a long time client of hers who absolutely raved about her. I have a massage therapist whom I frequent, but am always up for something new. Molly offers tui na, which is my preferred style, so I went for it. When I got there, she handed me an intake form. Then she asked me if I had ever had a massage before. I said yes. She went down the list of different types of massage asking if I had had each of them. I said yes to all but Thai. Then she said she was asking because I gave her a look like, "Why are you giving me this paper?" I wasn't feeling that, but okay... Then she tells me that she gets tui na from someone down the street and I should try it, not that she's trying to send me away. ... Then I don't get tui na. I get a combination of different styles. Now the massage itself is great. Molly certainly is skilled and knows her stuff. She has organic cotton sheets. She asks about allergies beforehand to make sure there aren't any problems. She mixes her own oils - all good stuff. And she talks almost the entire time. Some of the time she's asking you to breathe and release. The rest of the time, she's asking questions, sharing stories, and telling jokes. She said "Inhale, and relax on the exhale.... Aw, you didn't relax at all!" Well, Molly, it's kind of hard when you keep taking me out of it by talking to me. She's right. I did have a hard time relaxing. I felt pressured to relax and judged for not relaxing. It was an odd experience. Molly did a ritual at the end that she didn't ask my permission to do in advance, nor was it in a description of services. I was very uncomfortable with that as I don't just allow anyone into my psychic space. She talks a lot about Hawaii, elders, and her traditions. Maybe because her business name says "indigenous" she felt it was understood. Clearly, we didn't click, but you may. Molly does have a good skill set. She knows her way around a massage table.

Laurie has created an environment that is intimate and students get to know one another easily and she (as the instructor) and the students are always so welcoming to new students.

I highly recommend this studio for anyone that wants to try yoga for the first time or has practiced before.

Through a yelp event my boyfriend and I decided to try hot yoga again. We had previously been to…read moreanother hot house yoga studio in Norfolk. Apparently hot house yoga studios are everywhere in VA and family owned! The staff at the studio is incredibly friendly and we were given a quick verbal tour. I went into the ladies locker room, retrieved a full size locker for my things, filled up my water bottle and went into the room. A perk I noticed about the water fill station is that they have both water fountains as well as sensor bottle fillers which is really lovely and environmentally conscious. The class itself was very fast paced but the instructor, equipped with a hands free microphone reminded the class to take breaks if necessary and also included easier variations of poses for those who were beginners. As the class went on the studio got much much hotter. Make sure to be well hydrated and eat something before you attend a class. Another tip: you must bring your own mat but they do provide mat towels as well as face towels. Pro tip: bring a change of clothes if you're running errands after- you will be soaked in sweat. I bring clothes and even another bra and underwear. Also I like to bring face wash, a wash cloth and moisturizer to clean my skin after such a grueling sweat sesh. It's a great chance to get your face nice and clean after your pores are open and ready for a good cleaning. The locker room/ bathroom is also equipped with 5 shower stalls, hair dryers, mouth wash, hair ties and q-tips for those that need to get ready and go. I think that's a really nice perk! All in all it was a great experience!! This was a great Saturday afternoon treat!

I have been doing yoga for close to thirty years. probably 40 different instructors or more. Every…read moreexperience left me feeling uplifted and glad I had gone with the exception of the hot yogalaties class at this location. I had been to the location a couple of years before and was happy with it. The problem started at the beginning when the instructor gave a passionate plea to speak up about all the awful stuff going on in the country. I ignored it. To be fair I was happy with the class tempo, music, and degree of difficulty. The class ended with a repeat of political activism and shaming if you might not hold those same opinions. I quietly left class but the instructor was at the desk as I put on my coat. I quietly told her I know she noticed I left early, and that I was used to yogis that left us uplifted with quotes from poets, philosophers , or other yogis. That I felt she was giving a political lecture. She vehemently said " Yoga is political". But i feel it is spiritual not political, or at least should be. I was a drop in so maybe the members like this but if you plan on going to this location just be for warned. I was so put off and mad instead of the feeling of love and peace yoga has brought me over the years.

Their space is warm and inviting. After an intake review, I was politely asked to remove my shoes near the front entrance before Ruth guided me to my massage room. We discussed undressing to level of comfort and the warmth of the bed. The lighting was low enough that I could safely undress, get on the table, and begin to relax. Throughout the massage, Ruth made references to my muscles, where they should be, what they should be doing and how we'd work to get them better. Normally I get massages for relaxation but because I specifically needed maintenance, the conversation was inviting and I appreciated her working my muscles where they need to be to help my body overall. I recommend consulting your specific needs to this team in order to schedule the best appointment for you. They offer several techniques and other services such as yoga and well- being.

Located on the second floor of a stand alone building, the first thing I noticed when I walked in is how bright, clean and welcoming the studio is. There is an adorable boutique in the entry area where you check in. The boutique carries a thoughtful selection of yoga-centric items including yoga props (belts and blocks) essential oils, books and hand made jewelry. There's plenty of space to store your bags, coats, shoes and such before entering the studio. Once inside you immediately feel the light pouring in through the windows. The paint colors are calming and inviting. The room feels spacious but not overly large. Yoga props are plentiful and include great quality blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters and even sand bags. Spiritual Flow Yoga Studio offers a variety of class types including vinyasa flow, beginner, gentle, philosophy, meditation, restorative, pre natal and mama and baby. The studio is growing and additional classes are being added as needed. Private instruction is also available! I left the studio feeling great! The instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing yoga with the community. I will definitely be back to enjoy more classes!

My girlfriend, who is a regular yoga practitioner, and friends of mine have encouraged me to take yoga to increase my flexibility and maintain my level of fitness. My girlfriend encouraged for me to take a Beginner's Yoga Class at Spiritual Flow Yoga Studio, where she takes classes. We signed up for the Beginner's Yoga Class on Thursday evening, instructed by Celine. When class began, right away, I noticed something I hadn't expected-- a release of stress from a long day of work. Celine clearly explained the positioning of each pose in a patient voice and was also very encouraging. I continue to take classes at Spiritual Flow, and enjoy all of the instructors I have taken class with. I highly recommend Spiritual Flow to people of all different levels of practice, and with a desire to unwind and destress from our busy, busy lives.

Classes currently include Beginner, Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, Flow, and Vinyasa/Pilates. The space is comfortable, with a beautiful original mural as a focal point on one wall. The studio offers the usual bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets, and loaner mats. The studio is quiet (no normal street noise can be heard, although the very occasional fire truck may go by) and the music that accompanies the lessons is in the background but all around you, thanks to the great sound system. Co-owner Kellee is a gem of a yoga instructor -- challenging yet caring, focused yet nurturing. She has taught in several other studios (I have taken lessons from her for four years or so) as well as yoga classes in corporate settings. Kellee customizes her lessons to fit the students' abilities and needs. Alternative versions of postures and poses are introduced as the session progresses to aid those who may have difficulty with the "right" way to achieve the position. She keeps your mind on controlled breathing, focused attention, and peace in the knowledge that you are perfect in the moment, even if you cannot sustain a balance pose as long as everyone else. By the time the class is over, your mind is refreshed, your body renewed, and for the moment peace is restored in a tumultuous world. I have taken classes in other studios from other instructors, and while each teacher brings something that I can learn and take to heart, I have found no classes to compare with those I have shared with Kellee. Not only are they great yoga -- flexibility, strength, balance, mind, body spirit -- they are also a great workout. That's why I drive 30 minutes each way for her classes, and have done so for years as she has taught in other studios. Now that she is part of a partnership in her own space, I know that I have a yoga home. May you find yours as well.
