I have always wanted to get into yoga but never had the chance until I was on maternity leave. I started going to the Limber Babies class and O M G my baby and I looove it. It's literally the highlight of my week. At the beginning of class Aubrey checks in with every person to see how our mind and bodies are feeling and what our bodies need work on so she can decide what yoga poses to help strengthen us. 1000/10 review for this place if I could! My baby and I literally adore the atmosphere and everyone (the other moms and babies there). We even made other mom friends and go to get coffee right across the street afterwards. If you are thinking about coming here but just on the fence about it, I can assure you that you will NOT regret it!

Kat Allen is as good as it gets for intelligent, thoughtful, experienced, and balanced feedback and processes.

Cheers to being a real pro in your business of treating people with respect and overwhelming insights!!!! I can't recommend her enough. Excited to join her in one of her upcoming retreats.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

After our session Amanda sent me her notes which included the top three actionable steps we spoke about that I could apply immediately to my life. I can honestly say that they have made a noticeable difference since I applied them three weeks ago - both to my emotional wellbeing and to my sleep quality. They are now part of (and will stay part of) my regular practice. She also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutritional changes one can make that will help meet your mental/physical health goals which I also appreciate. It's definitely worth your time to check out a session with Amanda.

Tucked away above the Jules Maes Tavern in Georgetown, Yogasmith is a serene refuge from the…read morestressors of the modern world. Siddhartha sits by the entrance, greeting practitioners as they arrive for class. A creaky staircase leads to an inviting space with brick walls, beautiful hardwood floors and ample windows throughout. A majestic gong sits front and center in the room and is surrounded by singing bowls. Music plays softly and, depending on the time of day, candles flicker. Merely entering the space stirs a sense of well-being. Yogasmith offers a variety of classes for students of all levels. These include an introductory series, as well as all-level, men's, restorative and cannabis-friendly classes. In addition to classes, there are workshops and special events such as a monthly Sound Bath. The instructors at Yogasmith come from different backgrounds, each bringing his/her own unique expertise. The studio is open seven days a week, which makes scheduling easy. Students can sign up for a series (or "stream" in Yogasmith lingo) or drop-in. Director Joel Benjamin is the soul-epicenter of Yogasmith. His approach to teaching is gentle, good-humored and encouraging. And as founder of the studio, he has gone to great length to create a community that is vibrant and inclusive. He is exquisitely mindful of how world events impact this community and is diligent in his efforts to offer comfort, resources and tools in response. There are always tea and snacks in the kitchen at Yogasmith. There is also a living room area with a library full of books on meditation, yoga and various spiritual traditions. Hang after class is highly encouraged. There are numerous coffee shops and restaurants around the bustling Georgetown neighborhood for anyone seeking a more substantial post-class nibble. I've been practicing at Yogasmith for a little over three years now, and the benefit has been invaluable. I always leave feeling better than when I came in. And with each practice, I learn something that I can take with me and apply to daily life. As a fairly recent empty nester, I'm especially grateful for the community I've found here. Whether you're a first-time student or a lifelong practitioner, there is something for you at Yogasmith. I encourage all to give it a try.

Two years ago I had never taken a yoga class in my life and was terrified of the mat. Fast forward…read moreto the present--now I'm a dedicated practitioner thanks to Joel and Yogasmith. Joel is hands-down the most patient, knowledgable, and honest yogi I've met. He blends philosophy and meditation with physical strength. One of the things he says in class is that "yoga is a breathing practice...with postures." For someone like me who is wound up really tightly, having a mentor who reminds me to slow down and breathe has changed the quality of my whole life. Joel works hard to create a community at the Smith. It's more of a family and less of a gym. He has an optional co-op program that allows members a discount on classes, and in exchange, we contribute to helping cancer patients practice for free. Classes are affordable, focused, and manageable for all levels of expertise. I find the curriculum challenging but not frustrating. I get a good workout and I always feel better after class. I love looking around the space and seeing an array of body shapes, skin colors, and ages. No egotistical show-offs here, just lovely people excited to do yoga together. The Smith is always clean, warm, and safe. It even smells good! I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders every time I climb the stairs. Highly recommended for newbies and old pros alike. Much love for Joel and Yogasmith!

And he was so good at raising my awareness of how I was holding my body and helping me to really feel a new way of holding my body and posture. I left the session feeling lighter, chest open, with reduced anxiety and a sense of well being. It really did improve my mood and was totally worth the drive from Santa Monica. Marco also has incredibly positive energy and a beautiful sense of touch. His studio is really nice and it's a very safe space in which to explore how to move more freely and heal from pain and repetitive holding patterns.

Will this will become LA's leading body-mind movement training hub for creatives and entrepreneurs?…read moreI don't know why you would go anywhere else. Go talk to Marco if your body is in pain or if you are working to become a more embodied artist/designer/performer/entrepreneur. He teaches individual and group sessions in Alexander Technique with a particular sensitivity towards people doing creative work. Like refining how you hold your tools over long, repetitive work sessions to prevent pain and to create a deep connection with your work. Let me explain why I am so enamored with this approach... We are all stuck with our bodies. As much as I would just like to leave my (now middle aged) body behind when it's hurt or tired - my body is always there. I have also always been attracted to training my body for performance in sports and theater. When I meditate, my body is a site of reflection. If I wasn't stuck with my body then I probably wouldn't enjoy my life as much. My good friend Marco gets bodies and all all of their painful and exuberant complexity. He has deep insight in how bodies move, how they express, how they are linked to the mind, and how they express our souls. I have known Marco for nearly a decade now and gotten to witness his journey from being a successful business guy who loved design and endurance sports into now perhaps the only person I can think of who explicitly linking the insights of Alexander Technique to the labor of the creative class. If you are unfamiliar with Alexander Technique it is just a bodywork/movement training method. It has been around forever and used often to help performers/dancers/singers/etc develop more presence. People also practice it to get rid of back pain etc. I like things like Pilates, Feldenkrais, Rolfing and yoga well enough but if I want something more than just a fitness or bodywork regime...something designed to support my creative practice and me as a creative person...then I want something like Body Economics. Marco's take on Alexander Technique is designed for creative people. He offers local sessions as his Los Angeles studio, universities, and online. I did a series of online sessions with Marco (I live in NYC) when I was having chronic back pain from working on a computer too much. He was able to provide me with feedback over live video on how I was sitting and standing that changed my understanding of my body. I was able to unwind some knots internally and breath more deeply. In the end I came away with some new tools for self-diagnosing my body when it gets out of wack and ways to put it back in alignment. Oh and Marco can speak Italian if that is useful to you. Go give your body and mind a tune up.

When I arrived I was told to set up for class with the same equipment the instructor set out and found a cozy spot near the door. The class wasn't full (which is apparently rare) so I had plenty of room to embarrass myself. Now I'm not an out of shape person, I do cardio 3 times a week at the gym and eat very well. But Miranda's barre class kicked my entire ass (in a good way!) Afterwards I did feel sore as expected of a rigorous hour long workout, but I still felt amazing. I slept like an actual baby and woke up still feeling great. Everyone at the studio itself was very friendly and Miranda was great. The flow of the class focuses on exhausting specific parts and muscles of the body one by one so you definitely get your moneys worth for a full body work out- not that $25 for the first week is unreasonable at all! I'll definitely be back, but note to self: Be sure to stretch a bit more next time!
