Keeping focus on the breath - its harder than it sounds! I…read morewent to the open meditation on Sunday morning and it was an incredible experience. They offer instruction before the sitting, which as a beginner I found very helpful. its a 2 hour session but visitors are welcome to join and depart at any point during that time, it is very much at your own pace. A $10 donation is suggested, and visitors can make use of the parking lot next door (even though it says "parking for 545" it is all part of the same complex, so you don't have to park on the street!) I felt so much lighter and more relaxed when I left, it was the perfect introduction into formal meditation for me. I would highly recommend Providence Shambhala to anyone who is curious about meditation and experienced practitioners alike. Regular events are listed on their website. After going only once, I know I will be spending more time here and really look forward to checking out their other sessions.

But I'm focused on improved flexibility, self health and stress reduction and yoga is highly beneficial in targeting all of these. So off to Shri I went. Mary was an amazing, fun, entertaining (lion's roar) instructor who minimized your self thoughts on "I can't do this, I'm so not good at this, I stink at yoga." By her kind, caring, empathetic comments during the class. She is an amazing instructor! Her guidance in improving postures, holds, poses was supportive and so assistive. I absolutely enjoyed what I was initially dreading to do ...yoga. The class pointed out how tight my muscles, tendons, ligaments are and how much I truly need Shri. I will definitely be returning.

The space offered was cozy and I can only imagen would fill with natural light during the day. This is a new location for Kristin and Mike with so much potential and room for growth. Just a few classes/events they offer Sacred Sound Immersion, Yoga, Sound Healing, A Journey Through the Chakras. Lots of options for those searching for their inner self. They also have a shop that offers crystals, beauty essentials, books, and jewelry. Kristin can even make custom wire wrapped jewelry. Did I mention Mike is a tattoo artist and photographer, and by the looks of it a very good one at that. YOU CAN GET A TATTOO while also working on your inner self at the same location you're working on your inner self. Needless to say, if you're a work in progress like I am, book yourself a class.

The space itself…read moreis a gorgeous large old victorian style house, with high ceilings, several windows to allow for natural light and a charming antique chandelier and fireplace in the main practice room. Not only are the aesthetics of Santosha immediately calming, but I have always felt welcomed and accepted by the teachers and staff. The front desk employees have consistently been pleasant and helpful--and often drop into the class themselves after everyone is checked in. All of the instructors I've met thus far have been highly knowledgeable, warm and compassionate. Overall, they have balanced explaining poses, breath work and technical aspects of practice with essential core concepts for understanding and deepening one's yoga practice. All of the classes I've attended have been inviting, honest and uphold the true meaning of yoga--unity. I've especially enjoyed the "Energy Healing Clinics" offered monthly (I think it's monthly anyway)--$5 donation for quick Reiki sessions and other energy healing practices. Santosha offers a discount for students as well as military personnel which I think is great--a way to increase accessibility to yoga. The only downside to this studio is that there are relatively few classes offered each week. Nonetheless, Santosha is a wonderful oasis and a hidden gem of Cranston for sure. I would definitely recommend trying this place out.

Glad we got there early because it filled up quick and I would've hated being squished in a corner somewhere.

Overall a good experience and I most likely would try again.

Angela is an outstanding instructor who consistently goes above and beyond for her students. She walks around the room, provides individual feedback, and makes sure everyone is performing movements safely and correctly. It's clear that she genuinely cares about everyone in the class and wants them to succeed. What sets Angela apart is her energy, attentiveness, and motivation. She is loud and clear when giving instructions, so everyone can easily hear and follow along throughout the workout. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she creates a positive, encouraging environment that makes the class both fun and challenging. I've taken the class with another instructor before, and the difference was noticeable. Angela stays focused on coaching and supporting participants rather than getting her own workout in. She makes everyone feel welcome, supported, and confident, regardless of their fitness level. The bungee fitness classes are an amazing workout, and Raffa is an excellent wellness facility with a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch programs. I highly recommend Angela's classes to anyone looking for a fun, effective, and engaging fitness experience.

It has a great location with plenty of parking, (great coffee right in the plaza). The studio is welcoming, warm, clean, with plenty of space.
