First, the good: Lovely yoga studio in a old storefront with a series of curtains separating the…read morestudio from the entrance. Beautiful wood floors and a tin relief ceiling. Class started precisely on time. Clean restroom, good low-light visibility and very warm, even for a restorative class that wasn't advertised as warm/hot. Also, the instructor had placed a "You matter" card in/on each pair of shoes near the front door. It was a nice touch I hadn't seen before at other studios. The class was very inexpensive at $8 -- but more on that below. The less good: It was quite crowded for a Wednesday night. That can be both a pro and a con, I know... it's good to see a yoga studio fill a class so that you know it can stay in business. Parking seemed to be a bit of a challenge but not impossible -- there is a free public lot just a little way down from the studio. The bad: It was pitched as a restorative class, but it ran 7:00-7:45pm, which meant we got through maybe a total of 4 poses (supported child's pose, a legs up half-inversion, supported pigeon on both sides) before moving into savasana... at the 33-minute mark! I was astonished that we were basically wrapping things up after less than 35 minutes. Now, I knew it was a 45-minute class when I signed up, but my overall opinion now is that you really can't do a restorative class any justice in that amount of time. That said, I can't complain too much because it was only $8. However, I would have gladly paid twice that amount for a restorative class of 60-75 minutes. Lastly, I would recommend that instructors give some indication at the beginning of class that touching may be involved -- and offer some sort of option like "place your hands on your belly" or "flip this physical marker (I've seen this done at more than one studio) before placing hands on students. It wasn't unwelcome in this case and I have no complaint about it, but I know that some students do not wish to be touched and it would just be a good idea to offer people a delicate way to opt out of that. Just a suggestion for improvement.

I started my yoga journey at Embody with a 30 day challenge. I attended most my classes virtually…read moreand found the process to be very easy. I loved Leanne's leadership style throughout the classes. Being brand new to yoga I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up. Leanne did a wonderful job of balancing her class for beginners and for more advanced students. Her warm and inviting voice was wonderful to listen to as she explained the different poses. From the start of the challenge to the end I made significant improvements on my knowledge of yoga, benefits to the body and mind, flexibility, strength and balance. I will definitely continue yoga with Embody!

I went to a open house type event and I tried arial yoga and it was so cool! I wasn't sure if I would like it, sounded a bit scary, but it was a blast and easier than I thought, especially for me due to my plantar fasciitis. Standing for regular classes is very hard for me and arial yoga was not painful or difficult. Deb walked around to make sure everyone was comfortable and even gave us some essential oil to relax. The classes are typically dimmed lighting, with soothing music and quiet voices. I met some really great people there as well. I haven't been back in a while due to health issues that make it hard to do much fitness at all, but I hope to go back in the future. They also have really affordable prices. They have packages for just about anyone, single classes, and various memberships. They have merchandise to buy such as clothing and yoga mats as well. If you are new to yoga or even a pro yogi, this is a great place to improve your yoga practice.

It's really one of those special places in this world that just seems to function outside the rigors of daily life. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a come as you are attitude that appeals to all skill sets, from beginner to advanced. The care and attention Rob gives to students is at the heart of what makes this an amazing studio. His explanations of how to get in and especially out of various poses are easy to follow, protecting everyone from injury. He is also particularly good at modifying postures and encouraging you to listen to your own body, responding to that day's situation. I signed up for the unlimited session (a smoking good deal!) so I had the opportunity to take classes at a bunch of different levels. This meant I could challenge myself in vigorous midweek and wind down on the weekend, Plus, it let me see Rob working with people in totally different physical and mental situations. In each instance he was caring, insightful, and helpful, perfectly blending the mental and physical aspects of yoga that are what make it an enjoyable and effective practice. My only complaint about Point Yoga is that I can't transfer it to the Portland, OR area I now live in! In struggling to try to find an equivalent place in my hometown, it's really reaffirmed how truly unique Point Yoga is.
