Walking into the studio is like a weight being lifted off your shoulders because you know you are going to have a wonderful practice, regardless of skill or level. The staff at SHY are always phenomenal and greet everyone in a friendly and personal manner. They are always more than helpful to check you in, help you get set up, or answer any questions one may have. SHY isn't just your average hot yoga studio. It's so much more! It's a community, and a big supportive family that accepts you for who you are and wants to help achieve any goals you have for yourself!

I've been going for 2 years here now started with Aerial yoga ( like pink the singer ) and loved it so much then branched our to all the teachers ! I can say Terri and Rahman are both amazing and as well as the owner Corrine who is hard core yoga but balanced with the correct forms ( always watching and checking in) all the teachers and massage therapists are amazing ! this place ! Ok so I forgot to list all the teachers! I forgot about Brandon who teaches Sunday evening which is amazing! I recommend trying all the teachers and all the classes esp if your brand new to yoga or to the studio and you know yoga ! If your brand new then stick to the beginners classes! You will love it here!

I went full Yogi this weekend on a 2 day retreat at the Himalayan Institute and it was ohmazing…read more The institute hosts lots of yoga and meditation retreats of different lengths and price points which you can sign up for on their website. The one I chose was $250 for Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. There are several types of accomodations you can choose from, ranging from single beds in a shared bathroom to a lovely 2 bedroom 2 level cottage with a pullout couch and kitchenette and lots of teas. We stayed at a cottage and really liked it. We saw some giant cockroaches by the dorm rooms, so don't come expecting the Four Seasons here. The wifi is spotty in the rooms and basically everywhere except the cafe. Meals are served for only limited times during the day (about an hour and a half) - buffet style and you put your used plates/ bowl/ cutlery into large bins after. For lunch and dinner there are usually a few soups, a main dish (for example baba ganoush and pita, quinoa salad), some rice or grains, a salad bar, some fruit, and an assortment of breads (including a gluten free bread) and everything is vegetarian. For breakfast there was oatmeal and some other grains, yogurt, fruit, a delicious tofu scramble, hard boiled eggs, and a smoothie.The food is surprisingly good and filling but I don't know that I could eat it for more than a few days. Meals are $30 a day which you reserve when you book your accommodation. There is also a black tea and decaf tea always available so bring a travel mug! There is a beautiful new shrine open almost 24 hours for quiet meditation. There is also a sanctuary in the shrine which is open for only an hour before breakfast and dinner. There are small blankets you can grab to sit on and chairs around the altar. If you're feeling like a warrior and want to practice tree pose on a tree, you can take one of the 5 hiking trails around the area. Red is very well marked, blue is well marked until it's not and then you just turn right, walk through 2 holes in fences and you're at a beautiful waterfall! Green is well marked for half of it (around a cute pond) and then you might get lost in the woods (or maybe that's just me). There were a few other trails we didn't get to check out but the reception area has a map with the routes and estimated times. There are daily Hatha yoga classes at the institute that you can attend, a cute cafe, and a great gift shop with awesome clothes, books, jewelery, everything a yogi could ever want! There's also a chocolate factory with daily tours (and samples!) We loved the lemon ginger chocolate. Right next to the chocolate factory is a place called Sound of Music Hill which has beautiful views. You can also book massages (1hr for $80) which is a really great price and very relaxing. There is a small playground for kids too. If you are looking to deepen your yoga practice and get away for a weekend and enjoy nature, unplug, and stay in one place all weekend where you don't have to make any decisions, I can't recommend this place enough.

The class was intense between the fast-paced flow of movements & the heat - but I enjoyed it! I liked the combination between strength based positions, balance, & relaxing stretches. The heat was a good temperature - not too hot but also leaving me with a good sweat. They also have a location in Scranton & offer a wide variety of classes including Lyra & aerial yoga. The yoga studio was very clean & had a nice aromatherapy smell to it. My only two complaints about the Abington location was the size of the room (it was a relatively packed class) & there are no lockers to place your belongings in while you're in class. Overall I really enjoyed the class & would return to do the traditional hot yoga or try a Lyra class in the future!

The gym offers a private workout room for women as well, for those not comfortable in the confines of the larger gym area. I can't say enough about Dankos, its the best place for fitness in NEPA.
