    I've tried for years to find a studio where I could build a routine. For me, that meant I needed a…read morevariety of class types and a place where I still was excited to go to even on the days when I was feeling less than athletic/human. To add complexity, I'm newly postpartum and anxious about actually healing and supporting my body while not interfering with what my baby needs. So as a result, I've gone quite some time without being consistently active. Enter Forth. I joined at the end of 2025. I show up every day at noon, regardless of my physical or mental state, and I feel welcomed and supported. I recognize at least one person from prior classes or the neighborhood. I can take yoga or strength or Pilates without feeling frustrated or bored. I can make it home in time for my 1pm meetings. I always walk out stronger and a little more grounded than when I walked in and isn't that all any of us wants?

    I joined Forth in October as an experiment and quickly found a welcoming place I could truly commit…read moreto--and genuinely love. In the past, I usually left places after two or three tries, but this felt different from the start. As a Latino, I've often felt excluded in spaces that aren't typically diverse, but here that couldn't be further from the truth...everyone is included and the diversity is palpable. The owner, teachers, and staff make you feel like you're part of something truly special. I feel comfortable here; everyone is incredibly respectful, and the overall vibe is extraordinary. The unlimited membership is absolutely worth it, especially for someone like me who lives close to the studio. It's easy for me to attend classes almost every day. Classes are about 45 minutes long, but I usually arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and practice movements on my own. I often take double classes--and sometimes even three in one day. ----SPANISH VERSION--- Me uní a Forth en octubre como un experimento y rápidamente encontré un lugar acogedor al que realmente podía comprometerme y disfrutar de verdad. En el pasado, solía dejar los lugares después de dos o tres intentos, pero aquí se sintió diferente desde el principio. Como latino, muchas veces me he sentido excluido en espacios que no suelen ser diversos, pero en Forth ha sido todo lo contrario, todos son incluidos y la diversidad se puede apreciar. La dueña, los maestros y el staff hacen que te sientas parte de algo realmente especial. Me siento muy cómodo aquí; todos son extremadamente respetuosos y la vibra en general es extraordinaria. La membresía ilimitada definitivamente vale la pena, especialmente para alguien como yo que vive cerca del estudio. Es muy fácil asistir a clases casi todos los días. Las clases duran alrededor de 45 minutos, pero normalmente llego 15 minutos antes para calentar y practicar movimientos por mi cuenta. A menudo tomo clases dobles y, en algunas ocasiones, incluso tres en un solo día.

Before we got started, Ashley took the time to walk us through some of the things that may happen during the experience and really made us feel comfortable. Once the it began, I felt so relaxed - almost like I was sleeping but I could hear her voice guiding me and bringing e back to the breathing. Overall it was a really relaxing experience, I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about trying pranayama.

We all had limited experience with breath work, mostly through yoga, but were curious to try it as a friend was telling me that it really helped her through some anxiety. Before the class we were sent an email with some basic "what to expect" information and when we arrived Ashley gave us time to ask questions and get settled in. We have done 2 sessions so far and each one was unique - I was actually pretty surprised at how much my body absorbed after just one lesson - things that felt strange quickly became familiar. The entire time Ashley guided us through the breath work, we all felt very safe and calm and once the meditation was done, we didn't feel rushed at all and every person had an opportunity to share. I highly recommend these sessions to anyone who is considering breath work.

    I started coming here for meditation in January 2011 and found a wonderful group of people and a…read moregentle and inspiring meditation teacher. It's a great setting for a range of interests, whether the goal is to have access to more secular meditation help or to practice more directly in a Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The founder and teacher are really intelligent about contextualizing practices and teachings for people who grew up in the west, so there's access to a really rich tradition but always with clear translation. The resident teacher has a phenomenal meditation background and a range of visiting teachers come through to give special programs. There are introductory workshops on a regular basis, and an introduction to the posture and basic meditation practice is always offered at the beginning of any session. I also liked the atmosphere here because I want to contribute financially and help out but am sometimes broke or strapped for time. The feel of the center is really open and there is never any pressure, so I am able to contribute when I can but never feel bad about how much to give or participate, so I can keep up a regular meditation practice throughout.

    Attending Sifu Torres'/ Dr. Torres's 6 Healing Sounds workshops is one of the best investments a…read moreperson can make. If you have never attended one, the next time he offers it GO! GO! GO! This workshop introduces you to the postures, breathing, and healing sounds of the body's meridians that correspond to each organ. We learned how this practice can help and alleviate illnesses of the different organs. Sifu/Dr. Torres explained how in Chinese Medicine each organ and sound correlates to the different seasons and and elements of nature. We also discussed the different positive and negative emotions associated with the organs, as well as, the different senses and tastes. He even discussed the different foods that can be eaten to nourish each organ. I always enjoy this workshop. This is my 3rd or 4th time attending, but every time I attend, I always learn something new and I enjoy being able to practice with other participants. If you are looking for a new type of meditation to add to your repertoire, then this is for you. I am hoping that Dr. Torres/Sifu Torres will continue offering this very beneficial workshop.

    I feel very unhappy, frustrated, and angry with Sifu and his business practices. For our first…read morescheduled private lesson (April 26th at 8:00 am); He never showed up, nor communicated via any medium (telephonic, text, e-mail) that he would be a total and complete no-show. What makes it even more disappointing is the time and energy spent (And lost) traversing to navigate, find, and pay for parking to his studio. But the time that I invested into researching a Martial Arts instructor, and amongst the overgrowth of dojo / guru / studio options - choosing this one. Up until our scheduled meeting today, communication was respectably okay. He promptly responded to my initial email requesting more information about his studio (over 2 weeks ago). This naturally led to a phone call between the two of us in the interim where my questions were answered about pricing, schedule, etc. Afterwards, we exchanged 2 or 3 emails back and forth to confirm the type of arrangement (private lessons) that would best suit me. He agreed, and I was onboard. I felt comfortable enough agreeing to 2 introductory lessons. So we finally came to an agreement on a start time and date (today, Thursday April 26th). He informed me to arrive a few minutes before the lesson time to fill out a waiver, and other forms. Bringing it back to today - I arrived promptly at 7:55 a.m outside the office building where his studio is located. I rang and buzzed the suite 2 times. Voicemail prompt each time. I continued standing there buzzing the suite when a gentleman who works in the building was kind enough to ask if I needed to come inside (Thank you whomever you were). Once inside, I located and knocked twice on Suite 216 intermittently between 8:00 am and 8:06 am. In an effort to really extend my benefit of the doubt to its limits, I stood outside his suite waiting for him (or anyone) to showup. The entire time refreshing my e-mail inbox, checking my phone for messages. Zilch. Nothing. Even before deciding to finally leave exit the building, I re-checked my phone just to make sure. Nothing. Beyond unacceptable. I don't care if your car is encased in amber-like crusted Wrigleyville vomit, or if an Akula class attack submarine emerged from your bathtub drainpipe - There is no excuse imaginable to NOT show up. Absolutely none. Especially if you are meeting a client for the first time. You show up. You communicate. You don't make excuses. Even in the event of an unforeseen change that prevents any meeting from happening, like an emergency, or something beyond your control (like amber vomit) - you pick up the phone, and in any manner of your choosing inform the client that you will be late and or can not make it. Tactfully, respectfully. Sifu, like so many business providers and paraprofessionals don't seem to understand that customers are NOT commodities. Customers feelings and experiences matter; even before the service is rendered. You have one opportunity to make an impression. And once that impression is set, it will almost never change. The marketplace has minimal tolerance for these transgressions, and ultimately will summate and catch up to paraprofessionals like Sifu, and eliminate them from the business landscape.
