I was giving a "tour" so i know what i'm doing and maximized the floating experience. My room has a floating tub, a private shower and was given to ear plugs for my ears. You are given an hour to float and shower. at first i kept on worrying about how dark the tub was and somehow, i fell asleep. I woke up to the music stopping and took shower and came out feeling verrry relax. I was shown to the next room to relax, make my tea and then also read some books. It was such an awesome experience and everyone is so nice and sweet. This is one of my first solo date and i love it! I will deff come back.

I took the Mindful Enneagram course with Rob Creekmore and I highly recommend it. I've been…read morestudying the Enneagram through the Diamond Approach for 15 years and Rob added another depth of knowledge and understanding to what I already knew. He has great versatility in his ability to understand the nuances of each type, how each type interacts with their core fixation and how each type might be mistaken for another. He taught each of the enneatypes with respect to the 3 foundations of mindfulness - body, heart and mind - and how each of those mindfulness practices could be a source of support for us as we learn to loosen up our attachment to the egoic aspects of our enneatype. His teaching style is relaxed and relational and he never seemed rushed with any of our questions or observations but rather would take the time to explore them. I recommend keeping an eye out for the next time he offers the course.

For people who are interested in spiritual and personal growth from a Western Buddhist psychology…read moreperspective, I highly recommend this organization. It is founded and led by highly trained and compassionate people who, in my experience, encourage an individualized approach and welcome honest feedback. One trainer I especially appreciate is Stan Eisenstein. I have taken a number of courses from him and for over 2 years have attended a daily weekday Telesangha that I find extremely helpful. The latest course with him and co-leader Ruth Zanoni, who was also excellent, was a 17 week course on living with chronic pain and chronic illness using a Western Buddhist psychology framework and an experiential methodology with easily accessible homework. It is so helpful that I encourage all who live with chronic pain and/or illness to consider the course "Inviting Chronic Pain and Illness to Tea". My perspective comes from a 40 year career as a licensed master-level clinical social worker in private practice who has worked psychodynamically in her own practice and her own personal psychotherapy.

We have become friends, and she is an important touchstone in my life. Once there was a black snake in my backyard. Who else to contact but Vinaya! She said it was good luck, and I should just leave it be. She's the kind of person you can ask questions about the wisdom of the earth, the ages, and the sages. If she doesn't already know the answer (her brain is encyclopedic), she knows where to find it for you. Vinaya embodies qualities of an earthy goddess: Wisdom, love, beauty, compassion, selflessness, a wicked sense of humor, and intelligence. She is an amazing teacher! She understands the complexities of life in the modern world, and her teachings help me navigate my relationships and day-to-day activities with peace and practicality. I'm very excited to start working with her in the new Reston location. I'm a personal trainer, and I plan to refer all of my clients to her for massage, yoga instruction, meditation, and friendship!

We are office people, we sit for a living, so to get this professional healing-strength enhancement and knowledge has been remarkable. The daily damage we do to our bodies by sitting all day is detrimental. This is so much more than Yoga, it's mind and body release. Release of waste, toxins, over-thinking and a true break for hustle bustle. Thank you Vinaya!

Aikido has been on my bucket list since I took an introductory course on it as a college freshman…read more This year I opted to finally get started with it, after I spotted H&E here on yelp being close to home. Having studied Zen Buddhism and Bushido while younger, the core philosophy of Aikido very much catered to what I was seeking in a martial art. In my 2 months of practice I have found Sensei Ericksen to be an experienced and patient teacher with a unique style (no two classes will ever be the same outside of ritual), but he is also an admirable human being on a personal level which I find very important in a coach of any kind. One of the coolest aspects of practicing Aikido at H&E is the variety of students. I have practiced with young children as well as senior citizens. The dojo is filled with a wide variety of friendly students and instructors, and is open to learners of any age, gender, or athletic level. Some of Sensei's key teaching philosophies is that students should constantly practice outside of their comfort zones, and you will also find yourself teaching others while learning. This real world grounding towards training and communal learning format is time tested across generations and simply a more positive experience. For those out there seeking a novel way to get in more exercise I can certainly attest that classes will be a workout. Sensei will never ask you to do what you are physically unable to, and is a keen observer for any health concerns or nagging injuries. That being said, he has no qualms pushing you to your limits, wherever they lay that day. 2 months in, I have yet to not be sore after a class, and I am usually breaking a healthy sweat before warm ups have finished. For anyone on the fence on taking martial arts, or not convinced of the practicality of learning a self defense technique centered on not harming one's aggressors, I would invite you to try some classes and see how you feel afterward. There are a number of elements to physical fitness, and in my 2 months of classes at H&E I have found all of them challenged so far.

This studio changed my life. I started at Inner Power…read morethinking it was just a physical outlet to do after work. Little did I know how strong it would make me physically and mentally and I stayed consistent and grew my practice to a level I didn't think I was capable of. The teachers here are so observant and pay attention to each practitioner. I never once felt pressured to catch up with the class but was taught to own each practice as my own. Johnathan has to be one of the best teachers I've been fortunate enough to learn from. Jayme, Michelle, Gretchen all have such unique and amazing teaching styles and make yoga feel like your own personal practice- and not a commercial exercise class. That is incredibly important to me. I can't recommend this studio enough. I wish I lived closer to take advantage more often!
