Adding to that I had relationship problems with family and friends and etc. I didn't know much about meditation but this place was the last place I could try after attempting many things to cure myself like having counseling or archipuncture or etc. Now I don't need to see any of those. I can sleep now and feel very energetic and life has been so much better for me. If you have any of problem I had, I strongly recommend to visit this very caring like family place.

I attended their "Presence of Breath" weekend seminar recently and found it to be profound on multiple levels and sustainable as an ongoing practice. I highly recommend them and their business.

If you are looking for skilled compassionate guides into the healing adventure of breathwork,…read moreKristi and Blake Allen offer an incredible opportunity for personal change. I had tried different kinds of breathwork over the years but never stayed with it till I started doing Transformational Breath with the Allens. When it comes to my integrating this work in a consistent way, their skillful coaching, guidance, and abundant warmth have made all the difference. Intuitive and technically proficient, Blake and Kristi's co-facilitation of Transformational Breath is helping to gradually reshape my life from the ground up, where mind and body both begin: in the rhythm and shape of the breath. You can easily apply what you learn from them in your own independent breathing practice, which they are great at encouraging. In addition, their Be Free Center, where I attended a weekend intensive, is permeated with beauty. The colors and materials of the architecture, the view of the water, the design and light of its many spaces, enhanced my capacity for being physically present and fully in my senses, a perfect complement to Transformational Breath itself. The Be Free Center is a blend of "sanctuary" and "home" - a space for sacred work, fellowship, and even fun. Later I was particularly struck by how the aesthetic of the Be Free Center matches the kindness and graceful style with which Blake and Kristi serve the well-being of others.

We're all quite familiar with many of the upsetting aspects of our planet, I prefer to leave them at the door while hoping to relax and restore my faculties. Swearing, phone use and reading mystical sayings from a laptop during a facilitation were things I have not experienced before from a teacher and I do not prefer them. Tiaga Prem barely moved himself as he dictated our movements, the dismissive 'and keep doing that for a bit,' before picking up his phone again There were times when music was being chosen and changed, I understand, perhaps even time checking, but I think we can all identify at this point what it looks like when someone is reading an email, an article, text message or fb post vs. quickly checking the time or swiping and changing a song. This inattention did not have me feeling safe to enter a vulnerable, meditative state during this class and I will not return. A person gets much better guidance from a free youtube video.

Great studio with a small, community based feel to it. There is one studio. I came for the…read morerestorative class on Sunday evenings initially as I was looking for a class that would balance the cardio and intense workouts in my routine. I then tried the kundalini class, which was different (in a good way) from the other kundalini classes that I've taken. There is a focus on breathing and the power of the breath that I hadn't experienced with my other classes. I just tried a Dharma class and it was intense in ways that I didn't expect from a Hatha class. The teachers are wonderful and it's a great way for me to get out of my head by being in class. There is chanting and for me, this is a different way for me to express myself and release. Thank you for a great experience!

Through some research, I learned about The Mindful Lab and funny enough, I work in the next block. It worked out well that I attended a session with Lyn after work. This was my first experience with sound bath. I didn't know what to expect. Lyn was very welcoming and calm. The space itself is small and intimate. A session with only 5 of us. I was a bit nervous and unsettled at first because of not knowing what to expect, but as the session went on and ended, I felt more relaxed and calm. I left there feeling like I had learned to listen to my body and my mind This is something that I'd love to do again in the future

I love that this place has a LOT of hardcore yoga people but in no way do they give off that vibe. There are so many classes at varying levels that you can challenge yourself to progress from hatha to hatha flow to power flow (or Andrew's wild thing wednesdays if you're pretty advanced OR an idiot like me who thought that was supposed to be an easy class...fyi, I survived but barely). They will also tell you that most classes are multilevel since you can always do modifications if you're just starting out...Don't be afraid to take it to the next level if you can. I love going to Chris, Karens, Nicole or Andrews classes. The good news? Not only can I touch my toes, I can freakin' do side planks and full pushups now! Six months ago, I would have told you that was crazy talk. There's still no way in hell I can do those pretzel-y poses but hey, it's a start.
