    Wow! I have been…read moregetting massage for 20 years. I have a regular masseuse. Every time I go on vacation I like to try a local masseuse. I saw Aluna was the best rated on AMI. I made a reservation for a 90 minute massage and added foot and head treatment. After all of the add ons, it was undoubtedly expensive. I went in and was happy to see an effort is clearly made to keep the atmosphere relaxing. I was taken to a rest area that is admittedly cramped. Amber was on time. I made a reservation for a deep tissue. Admittedly Amber didnt use the most heavy of pressure but it certainly falls under the deep category. She is just so, so amazing. She knows where to go, she knows what combination of technique to use. She was able to release knots that other well trained masseuses have overlooked in so many massage therapy sessions. The head and foot treatment were extra relaxing and created a clarity that I aim for but seldom achieve in a massage. This place is great and I will be undoubtedly back

    We have been vacationing on Anna Maria Island for years, and even though it gets more and more…read morecrowded and traffic gets worse and worse, Aluna is always a high spot that we return for. We booked 3 different massage therapists this time, including a facial for our daughter. Dawn, who did the facial, had great vibes, and she talked just enough to make my daughter comfortable, but not so much that she felt any intrusion. Jeff was amazing according to my husband - he managed to get out a knot hubby had been dealing with for months and months. For me, Jen was great, expressive hands and knew just where the "hot spots" were. One of the things I really like is the attitude of the staff and the owner (I think it was the owner.) Everyone is calm, friendly but not too friendly if you know what I mean, and all the therapists seem happy to work here. The ones we see have been here since we started coming, which says a lot for a place. We're more familiar with the massages than the facial or anything else (our first facial, and we haven't tried anything else, honestly), but recommend Aluna without hesitation.

    The best yoga studio I have ever gone to! All of the instructors are really nice. Everyone is so…read morehelpful and accommodating. I have been to a few places and this is my favorite! Marina is wonderful and really attentive in class as are the other instructors! 10/5 stars if I could!

    I joined in Nov 2021 and am now almost through my second year, I currently go about 6 days a week…read more He is the original review I wrote that I forgot to post on Yelp... Thavma easily beat my expectations. The studio (Sarasota) was beautiful and zen. The teachers were great. The classes were challenging. I tried the two week trial and give myself a 90% chance of joining after I try out a little competition as I am new to the area. (Update: I joined and bought the 1-year all-you-can-sweat pass - love it) The best thing about the teachers was their attention to detail: they make sure to watch your alignment and constant remind us of the right adjustments to make the poses correctly and safe. But they were also friendly and fun and the classes had lots of people that had clearly been members for a while. Their 26+2 class is a slight variation of Bikram, so if you know that or Google it, you will know what to expect. I enjoyed those classes very much. Just know there are slight and intentional variations and you should follow them and not show how you can do the "real" poses. The Red Thavma is basically Yoga + Pilates + Abs + Sauna. This is a great way to tone up and burn calories if that is your thing. The Black Thavma is a harder version of Red, but I did not get a chance to try that. I highly recommend their $39 two week all-you-can-yoga pass. Try to commit to 6-8 classes as the first one will seem hot enough to make you give up, but you get use to it and learn to pace yourself. I think it is easy to get addicted, and I did love it. Hints: get well hydrated 3-4 hours before class, sip water in class, definitely take a sweat towel for your mat and keep an bring a sports drink or two for afterwards. Take a towel for your car seat too. They supply a strap and block and when I forgot my mat they lent me a free one -but they normally charge $2, They also have electrolyte packets to add to your water and they have cold water. They stopped renting towels during COVID and have decided not to restart that. Do it!
