I began my practice with Anita in 2016 when I was visiting my parents in Breezy Point and I was…read moreliving in Northern California. I really enjoyed Anita's cadence and consistency with her approach to how she takes you through the series. I returned to California and maintained my practice largely due to the great foundation I was able to establish with Anita. I worked in law enforcement and commuted by bicycle. The hot yoga on my off days was the most beneficial reset I could imagine. It helped me immensely both personally and professionally. Fast forward to 2023 and I returned to Breezy to be with my parents during the last stages of their lives and I am truly grateful for the studio and practice. It is exactly the same as I had remembered and what I needed most to ground me and help me to focus on what my family and I needed at the time. The practice definitely helped me to gauge what I need to accomplish throughout my day and reinforces the patience with self.

The day of, they showed up early, were professional, and truly set the mood with their beautiful performances (lots of Beatles!). We had them for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour and I'm still receiving comments of praise from our guests. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I started out with them on class pass, but enjoyed the workouts so much, that I bought classes separately (which I NEVER did). It also helped that they used to have yelp or gilt deals.

First of all, as you arrive to Shakti's place it is beautiful, in the waiting area outside her room…read moreand then when you get inside her room it is spacious, light filled and surrounded with art and spiritual objects and healing tools. After talking a bit and she got what my concerns where, she figured what blend of all her practices she would use on me. She started with Reiki where I went deeply within myself. She placed gems on my body and I could feel the healing properties of the stones penetrating into my being. She did body work touches on me and my legs were having strong releases as well as my breathing letting go with full exhales. Then I turned over on my stomach and she used her ancient tibetan bowl with the sound bathing over me in the most cosmic gentle and fulfilling way. The best part of the session though, the most significant part, is the healing that resulted after all these beautiful techniques. My knee had been giving me serious problem for quite a while and it felt so much better afterwards as I walked home from the session. Now it is days later and my knee has continued to find its way with entering a new alignment so that I am walking in a way that does not cause the same discomfort I was having before the session. Shakti is truly a healer. She has the gentleness, intuition, and skills that make you feel safe to go into a deep place and receive real healing! Patricia H.

Although this is an awesome school, I'm giving it one star because they are unprofessional in the…read moreway they handle their business. Due to the pandemic, 2020 auditions for 4th grade prospects were canceled. They sent out notices for video auditions for 2021. Fine, we made the video audition and crossed our fingers. Keep in mind that now it would be for 5th grade. A month after submission we got a call that they liked the video and she got an in-person callback. Now im thinking, this is good, after the callback we will know. Also, there were only 10 students called back (mind you later I realized that they actually held these individual callbacks daily/weekly all Spring long!) I felt confident for my daughter, her dance instructors were confident too. After the callback audition they didn't let anyone know right away, they actually let us know that she didn't get in more than a month later! Im not mad that she didn't get in, im angry that they literally made this process from start to finish, over 3 months. Because of this, we missed all the summer intensives deadlines (if she got in, she had to do their summer program). My theory is that in order for them to justify their paychecks during virtual learning, they had to create all these auditions/callbacks to seem busy since they get paid differently than DOE. They had no spots, and definitely not enough for all those hopeful students. Their 4th grade class from last year already had filled that class. Not cool to feed on the hopes and dreams of young dancers.

I can't say enough about the Killing Kompany…read more We found them through attending the shows at Ruth's Chris. We decided to hire them to do our wedding. We started off the day with the power going out. There was uncertainty about what was going on with our wedding, but of course the show must go on. Luckily they had a battery operated sound system that allowed us to be able to speak on the mics during the ceremony. It saved the ceremony, for sure. The power went on right after we kissed (awww). The show was fantastic after that. They kept everyone upbeat. They were funny, and great, and I loved every minute of it. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The way they handled disaster was amazing. Jon kept my husband (!!) on the positive side during panic. Everybody raved about how great they were and how much fun they had. I knew that they would be awesome, but their help with this crazy situation helped to save our wedding. Can't wait to attend more shows! Eventually we'll solve it, I promise!

It's a murder mystery at a restaurant or bar. So, I want to say that cute maybe isn't the best word…read moreto use to explain it. Tonights was out in Patchogue, LI at a bar restaurant called OFF KEY TIKKI. The food though they tried, wasn't good. I believe one of the meat dishes might have been bad and I stuck with the turkey. When you go to these events, the food is usually standardly basic and its the show you are really there for. Bar drinks and desserts were not incorporated in the 60. dollar plus added gratuity to the total, paid before entering. This murder mystery was a bit uhh quirky. One note is to, be there on time. I was under the impression that it was food from 7:30 - 8:00 pm and then the performance murder mystery. Just at 8:00 I walked in and already had missed the gun shooting of the lead victim. The young lady playing the cop, went right along in roll and questioned me as to why I was late and where I was a short time ago. The police officer she was portraying had clothing not up to snuff with black sneakers. The overall acting could have used tweaking. But as it is for entertainment, I went along and got into it asking people around me all kinds of questions. There was a scene of someones head but it was not made clear to the audience quite how that fit in. However Jon Avner artistic director and founder of the company, who writes and customizes the stories to fit the request and need of the people who higher his company, actually was pretty funny and acted well in the part with the interaction of the audience participants. Some of them were pretty funny too. Near the end of the performance the audience and suspects are given a paper form to fill out along with a pencil that reads Murder? 1-888 shoot em and asking to write, basically, Who done it and why. Then the chosen best audience actors get a few gifts and the person who comes closest to the correct-who done it gets a shirt and some other goodies, this time including some handcuffs. Again, all in good fun. Ok, so I was the one who logically wrote that it was the Lieutenant. It wasn't. But I choose not to say more to prevent any spoiler alert. As for the place, while the people there were nice and it is a local bar and not one I would likely frequent, 3 stars is about it for their rating.
