I feel so grateful that i was able to take classes and private sessions with Mandy…read more I am certainly not a typical yogi who lives and breathes yoga but i just might be now because of Mandy. I came to her with a hip injury (im an olympic athlete) and needed some way to constructively train so that my injury would heal and not happen again. Mandy immediately picked up on a lot of my problems and during our first session she showed me exactly why i need to make yoga part of my routine! I could go on and on about how wonderful she is but as you can see from the other reviews, her classes are truly such a wonderful experience. She is inspiring and so gifted at what she does. She is truly a beautiful soul. Start your yoga journey or enlighten it with Mandy, I promise you, something in her class will make it worth your while.

I patiently waited a whole year to write my review because from the moment I walked into this…read morestudio, I had a feeling I was going to love it & I did! This is a women owned business & I cannot be more proud of Erika & Leeann for doing what they do, what they've accomplished, & what is yet to come! This studio isn't your typical Barre studio, they really do teach more than just Barre, but also connecting to your mind, body, & soul. I love the fact this studio is not a chain, which makes it more special because it locally owned & their technique is impressive! I noticed there is never more than 10 people in the class, which is a plus! The instructors are able to concentrate on helping everyone with their forms & it becomes more personal compared going to a chain. I love the fact that every class/workout is different! The esthetics of the studio is what makes it different as well. Everything from the scents to décor, it gives a good energy & it literally doesn't make you feel like you're at a typical gym or workout space. All the women who work in the studio really do put in all their efforts to make everyone special & feel so welcomed. Try a class & you won't regret it!

I love this barre studio and community! I normally do classpass for workouts but after trying this…read morestudio I bought a package directly! Class sizes are small and Erika and LeeAnn are amazing instructors! One thing so unique about this studio is Erika makes sure your form is correct so that you don't hurt yourself. After I mentioned I was having back issues to Erika after class, she spent some time with me to make sure my form was correct and I haven't had any issues since! So appreciative of Erika and the Barre and Bay Wreath community. I hadn't taken barre classes previously and was very weak when I first started, but I always felt welcome. Love coming to classes here and can really see the difference in how strong I'm getting!! Can't wait for my next class!!

She led us through a heart-opening journey of gratitude, calming breathwork, gentle, mindful yoga, and the most transportive sound bath. The sound bowls truly carried me to another dimension. If you're looking for a deeply relaxing and grounding experience, I can't recommend Valkyrie Yoga enough.

We came to Valkyrie because we absolutely adore Abby. She is simply THE BEST. I was a bit nervous…read moresince I'm used to heated yoga studios, but Valkyrie was very welcoming and had a positive energy. It had a sense of coziness with blankets, meditation cushions and beautiful decor/plants. It was one of the best yoga practices Ive ever had, and to top it off, Abby serenaded us with the sound baths. I definitely want to come back. Just FYI, they are on classpass!

She has this awesome way of using every moment to relax and open up the body to get ready to work out, and the workout was really hard, but not too hard with lots of room to add more weight and resistance as I get...super strong n stuff:). To be honest, i'm usually in bed at 7:15am.... I am surprised I was able to pull off this class .... Dare I say I'm even impressed with myself hahaha. I'm for sure gonna go back I've never done that workout. I've only done Bikram with Genna and Coleen so I'm not surprised that I loved it. ALSO.... their Studio is... is the kind of place where a girl can rock a tank top for the first time after a double mastectomy and forget she just had ...a double mastectomy. Just easy to get outta my head over there ...and breath.

First time taking yoga on the beach and LOVED it!…read more The instructor was not so fast and the poses/directions were easy to follow even if you've never done yoga before. I was with a large group of women and there were some that were experienced and some that were beginners with yoga. If you want in our class Really enjoyed it and even after words continue to talk about how universal this class really is. The location was perfect and the back ground was even better! you really cannot beat the background of the waves to help you focus on your inner self. we did yoga in a grassy area that was directly above the sand by the beach which was perfect because I'm sure if you did it on direct and it would be even harder to do some of the poses. I would highly recommend this class to big groups or even going by yourself. Although I came from out of town I will definitely have this in mind next time I come to visit.

But you are more interested, probably, in what I don't like: Rocco Ragano. He's a Nia instructor who titters when the class makes mistakes based on "assumptions", which means we assume he was about to do the same thing again and followed that instinct, when he's instead changing it up without any verbal communication. He is a classically trained dancer besides, so his choreography is overly complicated, and he's talented enough that he can't comprehend or assist people who aren't already proficient--not traits you want in a teacher. Imagine trying to learn basic math from a astrophysicist who has an internalized understanding of numbers, and can't imagine why you don't just get it: he's the Nia equivalent of that. And there's a touch of malice too; he seems to delight in the mistakes of his students, even when the mistakes are due to his poor leadership. I was so frustrated and ashamed that I didn't stay for his cool-down. I left in the middle of another overly complicated routine, with just 7 minutes of class left--I couldn't endure any more of him. When I walked out the door, he was smiling smugly in the mirror, like it was an accomplishment to distort the meaning and purpose of Nia to the point that a student *who truly enjoys it* has a miserable experience, gives up and goes home. Other instructors though, are marvelous, helpful, and even inspiring. I would avoid that man, unless you are already a Nia and dance star. Otherwise, prepare to be alienated.
