I've had the privilege of taking a couple classes at @barefootworksyoga lately and I have a couple…read moremore scheduled in the near future. While I have continued practicing at home, I feel like I need some help and instruction to progress. It's a huge #nsv that I'm going to public places lately to work out with other people. Even going to the gym and doing self-guided workouts can be a challenge due to anxiety and an inability to get out of my own head. So doing a concentrated workout alongside a group has, until recently, been nearly unthinkable. . I've been to a few other classes at different establishments and, while they've been good, I still struggled with being present. But the energy of Barefoot Works Yoga (both the space and its people) is so genuinely welcoming that I've been able to focus so much better. The teachers with whom I've worked so far seem to truly be interested in helping you build a better you- there's no pressure, just instruction and encouragement. The gorgeous, ethereal space in which classes are held only adds to the experience. With lanterns surrounding the room and a skylight overhead, I've found it easier to relax into my practice there than anywhere else besides home.

Wonderful Yoga for Stress Relief class with Erin tonight. I try to take a yoga class or two during…read morethe weeks when I'm on the road in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan -- which is quite often -- and this class and the studio are both easily in my top 3. I have only occasionally gone back to the same studio more than once, but I think based on tonight that I will be back whenever I'm in Lexington! Beautiful space here and exceptional class... just what I needed.

I have been attending classes at Sterling for several months. This is an overused statement, but if…read moreI could give 10 stars I truly would. My doctor recommended that I work in sauna time to lessen inflammation, my PT recommended I do yoga (since I'm not super accountable about doing my at home exercises and stretches) and both of them recommended I work on my mindfulness and lowering my stress levels. So, I decided to try and do all three at once with Sterling classes. Not only are there a multitude of types of yoga offered (I typically do Vinyasa, Sterling 60 and Hot Pilates) but classes are 7 days a week with enough time slots that even the busiest of us could find a couple a week that would work. One thing that held me back at first was the fact that I had never done yoga prior to signing up here. I was worried about looking foolish, not knowing what to do and not getting much physical fitness improvement, so I put off going for a long time. For those of you that feel the same, let me put you at ease: 1. Every single instructor has been incredible. Personable, friendly, knowledgeable, they really know what they are doing. Throughout class they keep up a solid flow of instruction on poses, breath work, mindfulness and encouragement. 2. I was really worried about looking dumb in front of other participants...no sweat (pun wasn't intended, but I'm leaving it in ). Everyone is so fully focused on their own poses and breathing to pay attention to what people are doing around them. Everything is at your own pace, so no matter where you are in life, these classes can be a huge benefit physically. Just from the stretching and flexibility from Vinyasa and Sterling 60 I have been able to cut back my PT visits from every week to every 2-3 weeks. 3. As far as the the other participants...everyone is happy to be there. When you walk in the door, you can tell there is just a general spirit of positivity and welcome, it's really uplifting. If you're hesitant to try it out, they run a great special for your first month, and you can go to as many classes as you'd like. I could go on and on about it, but you should come see for yourself. It's truly made a huge difference for me physically and mentally; I encourage everyone, from any background, to check it out!

Yesterday, my friend and I attended the Hamilton inspired Yoga for a Cause class. $5 (or more) donation -- can't beat that! The class was enjoyable. They offer a lot of classes at different times. Also have a sitting area, massage therapists and an infra red sauna which is in a private room which makes it comfortable and inviting. Definitely a place you want to hang out in.

Thursday's Form and Flow Level 2 rejuvenates and strengthens. Friday's Fun Flow brings yogis together for wine and conversation post-flow. Every class has something to offer all beginner, intermediate, or advanced yogis. Non-judging and full of lovely humans, Solid Roots have become home away from home.
