Studio Priv'e Pilates is a woman-owned business in downtown Medford, next to Burger Spot. The…read morestudio is located in a beautiful, newly renovated historic building, on the second floor. I have several years of experience doing reformer Pilates and am so grateful for my affordable weekly private lessons by Shasta. She is so patient, understanding, kind and intelligent - I've learned a lot of new movements and the exercises have really helped me with my posture and core strength. The equipment is all top-notch, clean and cared for. Shasta also does group mat Pilates classes and barre classes too which are at a lower price point. Street parking is usually available in front of the studio, and if not, the parking garage is right around the corner!

Then stated she thought it was a conflict. She was very odd and seemed to think that because I go to another studio in town (that frankly is awesome - Southern Oregon Pilates) that I could not as a consumer attend a session with another studio. My instructor of 3 years is on vacation this week so I thought I might be fun to try another studio in town. I travel a lot and attend studios in other cities and states and have never had anyone be so unprofessional and frankly weird. Run and go to Southern Oregon Pilates.

I've been taking classes at Ashland Yoga Center for several years, and I love the studio and the…read moreteachers. Some of my favorite classes are Vanessa's 9am-10:30 Saturday morning flow class, Manpreet's 9am-10:30 Kundalini yoga class, and Carlos's 9am Monday morning Flow yoga class as well as Carlos's Wednesday evening 5:30pm Yin classes. The studio owner Natalie is also a great teacher, as well. The studio has a nice bright energy, and the people who come to the classes are friendly and welcoming to new people. In addition to yoga, there are also often sound baths on certain weekends held during full moons and other celestial events. Those are excellent! Definitely recommend checking one out for deep relaxation. Other offerings I've checked out and enjoyed include a Tai Chi class Carlos taught as well as some yoga workshops and teacher training. They also offer retreats to Italy, Portugal, and more. I highly recommend this studio and the people running it and teaching here. Sign up for classes in advance on their website. There are props and mats you can borrow, and there is free street parking.

I've been attending classes at AYC for a number of years now and can't recommend it highly enough…read more The studio itself is lovely and calming but it's the instructors that really make it for me, particularly Carlos. He is deeply knowledgeable not only about yoga but movement in its many forms including tai chi. I appreciate detailed explanations of poses and muscle groups and how they impact the body. Carlos, and the other instructors at AYC, are very good at this. Perhaps having a yoga center that offers a teacher training program attracts highly skilled and effective instructors.

After a very sweaty class, you feel like you have walked through the fire together with the other yogis. I really enjoyed both classes that I dropped in on. Be warned: it's a hot yoga studio in a town with some pretty hippie type people, so it can be a bit...stinky. I didn't mind at all but worth noting perhaps.

Rose Yoga is the best. I always look for an Iyengar studio, and it's always the same: precise…read moreinstructions from generous, eagle-eyed instructors who look out for each student's well-being while encouraging self-knowledge and self-care. Janet provides all this in spades, but there's so much more here. It's amazing how she can work with a room of students at all levels and ages. (There are classes at many levels, but students often come to lower levels than you'd expect, as there are only one or two classes most days.) Janet's self-depreciating humor makes me feel at home, and helps produce a much, much deeper sense of community than I've experienced anywhere else. (I studied--and loved--yoga for years at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Los Angeles, and for months at a time in Iyengar studios in Moscow and St. Petersburg.)

For the Ashland studio:: I didn't feel welcome at all here…read moreunfortunately. I love the iyengar lineage and I've had quite a few years of practicing yoga consistently in many different regions. Being so small of a space, and in a small town, I thought they would be nice and a great place to practice. However, I was called out many times during my classes for my age and my practice being 'sloppy'. I was snapped at and I felt really ashamed and embarrassed when I left both times...(I tried it twice in case it was just me) which in case you were wondering is NOT how a yoga practice should leave you feeling. Both of the classes I tried were an average older students..i asked about that and I was told the 'college kids' go to the 'other studio'...I mean. Goodness. I know this town has a pretentious spirituality side, but I was sad to run into it here. I had high hopes for authenticity, kindness and quality instruction and they weren't met. Especially for the prices they charge for such a humble and ancient spiritual practice. Go elsewhere.

So let me start by saying this - I'm by no means some fitness buff. I was always athletic & have…read morehad some good runs at the gym here and there, but it's really be a good 5 years since I've had any sort of regular exercise routine. In other words, I'm just your average 30 something mom who has not made herself a top priority and has gotten a little "soft". I have tried CrossFit twice before but didn't have a good experience so I didn't last long. I felt intimidated by the moves, the cliques within the gym, and the pressure to always be increasing weight when I knew I needed to focus more on form. For some reason, I decided to give it one more go because, well, it was time to do something for me. I heard about CF Steelhead and wanted to give it a shot because a) I had heard really great things about the owners/trainers, 2) it was close to my house, and c) I finally admitted that I need motivation to work out. It's now been two weeks and I finally feel that passion (albeit not the culty obsession) about CrossFit. I credit it entirely to Laura and Ty who have been so welcoming, friendly, and inspiring. You can tell how dedicated not only to their new business venture, but to their customers who they obviously care about. This morning I could barely lift my arms to take my shirt off after my work out, but it is a surprisingly good feeling. I look forward to taking a peek at the website every night to see what the workout is going to be the following morning and don't get discouraged when I see that there will be elements like push ups, pull ups, and double unders because even though I suck at them now, I finally feel confident that I will one day master them. Perhaps one day I will even be one of those dorks who is constantly posting pictures of themselves of Facebook doing 150 lb. over head squats. Okay, probably not, but I am still pretty ecstatic to have found this place. Thanks Laura and Ty for doing what you do. You guys are the best and am ecstatic to be a part of your crew!

First, they had me get a note, which was understandable. However, once I got the note, they stopped responding to my emails.

I guess they're only willing to help you when they have your bank account number available. I was really, really disappointed.
