A hidden yoga gem in the Twin Cities!…read more This old barn turned into a yoga studio is one of the most inspirational and romantic places I've experienced doing yoga. The old rafters and charm put your mind at ease while you practice an intimate session of yoga. Sunday night yoga sessions are the best - one full hour of yoga with a good amount of Savasana at the end that will get ready for fun happy hour/socializing with many wonderful yogis in the family country-modern kitchen. Yes, that's free wine/beer & snacks after a hard workout. What more could you ask for?

They also offer all props you could need at no extra cost. When you show up, it's at a (former?) church in the basement level. There's space to hang coats and leave shoes, and you sign in on a clipboard by the door. The space itself is warm and inviting with dark wooden floors. There are a few windows that let light in near the ceiling.

I was worried that I was a bit "advanced" in my yoga practice for this class (even though it said all levels were welcome) due to the large quantity of props we all had to pull out of the closet. But it was fun to learn new things. By the end of class, I got a nice workout, relaxed, and felt thoroughly stretched out. I'll be back!

I have only attended workshops at Yess, so I'm not as familiar with their regularly scheduled classes and instructors.

Every class is 45-minutes which is perfect vs. typical 60-minutes fitness classes which in my opinion, helps you get in and out quickly allowing extra time for errands, commuting, etc. The studio is brand new so of course it's extremely clean, the parking is still under construction (but will be done soon) and the staff was welcoming and kind. You do need to have clip in shoes in order to cycle which you can bring your own or rent and there is a water fountain to fill up water bottles. Cycling is done to the beat of the music with candles and dim lights. One unique thing about this studio is that there is free child care on-site. I don't have kids and didn't use it, but this sounds like a major perk! Clip in, check out, let's ride!

I went to…read moreCommon Ground for a meditation on Sunday but arrived a little late and didn't want to interrupt the session. Lucky for me, I was able to come back a few weeks later for a people of color meditation session. Whaaaaaa!!! I didn't know they had such things! You get to the center and if it's not super busy you can park in the lot. For most of their bigger events or weekend meditation days you'll want to get there plenty early since it fills up fast. When you enter there are spots for your shoes (like a yoga studio) and coat hangers. They recommend you take any valuables with you or don't bring them since it not a monitored area. There are two meditation rooms on the first floor, one with a kitchen where you can get tea or water if there's not a session happening. The second is a large room where we had the people of color event. Chairs, blankets and cushions are provided so you don't have to worry about buying anything. The instructors and space are very welcoming. They have great ways to ground and connect everyone together quickly but also authentically. I'm definitely going back, it was a great experience and you learn about mindfulness, Buddhism and the practice.

This place and it's participants are so approachable and its philosophy entirely undogmatic. I go to the Sunday morning 10:30 a.m. Dharma talks. If you're a Mama or Papa you can even bring your 1-8 year old to be part of the kids group while you get your Buddha on. The space is small, spare, and perfectly relaxing. Sit on a chair or cushion and choose to donate whatever amount you're comfortable with for all activities. They have any number of special issue groups, retreats, yoga, T'ai Chi, and even a program for teenagers. Mark is insightful without being at all preachy or superior. I LOVE that after the talk, participants ask questions regarding real world challenges they are facing in terms of integrating their practice into their daily lives. Somehow it manages to make that day's talk clearly applicable to everday life without feeling as though anyone is engaging in 'T.M.I.' or some sort of New Agey therapy group. I float out feeling much lighter and calmer!
