The idea of Lagoa Yoga is as close as it gets to the ideal gym for me. There is never loud annoying…read more"workout music", there are no men lifting weights and moaning in order to show off their strength and effort, there is a quiet area to read and nap, a sauna, enough cardio machines, TRX equipment, weights and really cool classes. Yoga is supposed to be its strength but to be honest I think the best are actually the Pilates, ballet bar, and deep work classes. Being a yoga teacher in training I am quite picky and impatient when it comes to yoga classes and non of the vinyasa flow classes actually flow, but instead it's a series of interconnected postures with a fitness twist. Somehow I end up feeling like I just took a Pilates class every time I finish one. Bare in mind that I'm a little picky, most of the ladies seem to love these yoga classes. And all of the instructor and trainer are adorable, polite, friendly and always smiling. That's a big plus and I'm satisfied with the place. There's always free cardio machines, and space in the fitness room and spots in the classes if one makes it on time. :)

Lisa is by far one of the most talented practitioners I have ever had the pleasure of meeting…read more Being from San Francisco as well as being a total massage lover, I can say with confidence that Lisa really is a talented therapist. Making an appointment online was easy, and finding the space was no problem, (central in Neukolln). Upon arrival, Lisa spent a significant amount of time listening to me talk about my body. This wasn't just a few quick questions before she left the room. She made a pot of tea and we sat and talked. It was therapeutic and calming, and such a nice way to start the experience. It was also nice for me that Lisa is a native english speaker. She also has a very calming way of asking questions and providing information about the body that was reassuring. During the actual massage, I was blown away by her skillful use of a variety of techniques. It was amazing how she moves between them as needed, and to say that her work was effective would be an understatement. I felt amazing afterwards! In subsequent massages, Lisa would revisit who I was feeling, (and yes, she would make more tea) and after 3 months my problem areas are significantly changed. Seriously amazing experience and I will definitely be back.

If you are looking for a Pilates Studio, your search is over…read more Nothing can be better than Senso. I have PD and Carolyne is helping me getting control of my body again. My future looks not so bad, thanks to this dedicated teacher and lovely person. The studio looks sharp, with a lot of equipment, and it's also easy to reach.

I have been training at Senso for the last 18 months. First thing I noticed was that this is…read moreNOTHING like Yoga...nothing!!! I am very impressed with the level of knowledge that the trainers have. I play ice hockey and didn't think Pilates would help me on the ice. At first I just went to stay in shape, but it really did help my game a lot. The trainers there will train you in English or in German which was a huge factor for me since I'm still mastering German. Another big point for me was the cost. Considering the expertise of the trainers I think I am getting a really great deal and even saved more when I bought a 10-pack. But they also have classes that are much cheaper, or one can arrange for a duo or a trio which can also save some cash. For me, one on one is the best. My trainer constantly talks and makes adjustments to my form to maximize my workout. The atmosphere is great. Renovated studio space with changing rooms and a beautiful shower. Pilates really sets itself apart from other exercises because of the attention to detail. The trainers all have to pass anatomy courses and really understand the human body. I've seen other clients there who have serious physical issues who make dramatic positive strides through Pilates. I would recommend Pilates at Senso Studio for anyone, but especially those who are bored of gyms or might have posture, circulation, back or neck issues. One trainer told me she is even certified to train post and prenatal clients. Cool! Check out Senso!

- Classes offered in English - There is a holistic approach…read more It's not only about the movement & posses but also about the spiritual side and how to be a better human for yourself, other humans, and all life on earth. (I know that sounds like BS but it's true. The instructors guide you on a path to respecting all forms of life which gives extra meaning to the classes). - Instructors show compassion. They walk around & gently guide you into a better pose. (Yoga classes elsewhere will just say you're doing it wrong! Instead of saying, "touch your toes," Jivamukti instructors touch you and nudge your body as far as it can go). - Classes are super challenging. It makes you realize that yoga is not a walk in the park. It's a rigorous activity that you must work hard to perform. During the class, I am pushed to my mental & physical limits. After the classes, I feel relaxed and brand new. - The community and canteen create a second home for me and others.
