First off, let me start off by saying I highly recommend Downdog Flow Yoga & Pilates Studio and…read moreMelissa as a Yoga and Pilate's teacher and here's why: Style: Melissa brings her own style and technique to her classes - it's a playful, fluid, and challenging practice - a combination of Vinyasa and Pilates. Not only do you get a good sweat but she always has a focus and intention behind it. She does a great job of breaking down the flow in an easy and methodical way and no class is ever alike. She always comes prepared with interesting and different flows and peak poses in which I admire and continue to be a student of hers as it goes to show you how much effort and work she puts towards giving the best to her students. She is always listening to her students and tailors her classes to deliver. Energy: I've been going to Downdog studio for a little over a year now and Melissa's energy and power has always been 110%. Her intensity is like no other instructor I know which permeates throughout the class. It drives her students to do better, to take us out of our comfort zones and to challenge and push ourselves pass our limits. This in turn has all of her students giving it there all every time they step into the studio. It also helps that it is a community atmosphere so you feel comfortable, engaged and always included. Personal: She goes above and beyond as a yoga instructor. Melissa genuinely cares and is concerned for all of her students. She will befriend you and always go the extra mile to guide you in the right direction of good health and well-being. She is truly on a mission to share the benefits of yoga, fitness and good health to everyone she meets. She has given me workouts, poses and stretches for restoration and follows up to see how I'm doing. Overall: Although your core will be fired up, you will definitely feel zen after every class leaving you to feel like you're ready to conquer any challenge life throws your way. If you want to better yourself on and off your mat, need a vigorous workout that is guaranteed to give you results physically and mentally, and would like to be part of a fun community atmosphere that motivates you, I highly recommend Melissa at the Downdog Flow Yoga and Pilates studio.

I have been practicing various forms of yoga off and on for over the past 30 years. This is the…read morefirst yoga experience that has left me feeling like I got a great workout! Power yoga is a beautiful and challenging fusion of isometric exercise, core strengthening and balance. The temperature in the studio is more manageable than a Bikram workout with all of the same benefits. It is the first yoga experience that didn't feel like a huge waste of time. After the first couple of weeks I saw definite results in my overall tone and body shape. The power yoga practice Jayne and York have introduced into the Bedford community is a showstopper! All of the instructors are kind and welcoming, each time I return I feel like I am home again. Big thumbs up!

I absolutely love this place. To be honest, I already knew I was going to sign up simply so I could…read morehave access to a 24 hour sauna. I had a job that really took a toll on my muscles and I needed something I could access at odd hours of the day since my work hours were not consistent. I haphazardly started following along to one of the videos even though my intention was to just lay on the floor in the heat. needless to say, it was amazing. I'm not someone who regularly works out and I'm not even someone who likes the heat but I knew the infrared would be good for my tired muscles. Somehow, the infrared sauna makes it easier to move. And strangely, even though you're sweating, you feel so much cleaner afterward because your pores have just released everything! Make sure to drink lots of water so you don't pass out but I highly recommend this particular location. Everyone is so friendly but if you want to work out in private, like I did, the app is so useful in being able to see if anyone else is in the sauna you would like to book. There are even fun monthly challenges on little pamphlets you can fill out to help keep you motivated and going in on a regular basis. I really like that it's not weight oriented and more just about getting your body moving.

Taryn was warm and welcoming, and I never felt rushed at all. The studio is bright and spacious. However, reserve online or come quickly, cause that studio filled up fast! There were students at different levels in the class, but Taryn gave moderations for the novices. Mats, blankets, straps, etc are all complimentary...and super clean!! Plus, on Monday I received a phone call asking if I had enjoyed my experience, which I could definitely confirm. If you're looking for a clean, bright, and friendly yoga studio, give YogaBalance a try!!

It was gentle yoga, but had opportunities for people to stretch their bodies even further if they so wished without making the rest of us feel like we were falling behind. It had the perfect balance of flow and rest and made me really relaxed. For people who wanted even more, there was a meditation session at the end. The space itself is beautiful - from the sunny front room where you can peacefully wait for classes to begin (with its rotating art collection!) to the equipment (blankets, blocks, straps, etc.) that was all in really good shape. I'm definitely going back next time I'm home - you should check it out as well!

This class was definitely hard as a beginner but I tried to remember that this is new to your body and to give myself some grace. I did need some breaks but all in all the instructors tell you to listen to your body but they motivate you to keep going. It was a great class definitely will come back I signed up for 2 more classes of MEGA: Essentials. Which is their beginner class or for those who want to perfect their form. I do wish they had a 30 minute intro class that really went over the machines because it was hard to hear over the headset the instructors wear and I did find myself looking up and watching what others were doing. But still it was easy to keep up and understand after doing it once.
