The Maha Yoga Center is the only thing I miss about Bridgewater (besides a friend who lives there)…read more I moved away from there last year, and I still haven't found a yoga place that can compare in any way, shape or form. The owner, Diane Lagadec is absolutely AMAZING. I can't really say enough about her or the Center, but I'll try . . . Not only does the Center offer a variety of yoga classes and teachers, but they have days and times that fit anyone's schedule. I took classes with several teachers, and they were all wonderful. My favorite ones were Diane and Mona Cusick. Each teacher offers something different as far as their approach, so it's an individual thing. I would give any of them a try. The Center also offers many interesting workshops for body, mind and spirit. I took belly dance classes here with two different teachers, and I had a great experience. Check their schedule online for the latest offerings. They also sometimes have special concerts. I went to a Kirtan once, and I had never been to one before. It was really cool, and I recommend going if you like to sing. The space itself is beautiful with spacious yoga rooms . . . there are also 2 large bathrooms for changing. The place is very clean and decorated in a very lovely, spiritual way. There are many wonderful things to buy in the shop, including jewelry, clothing, books, incense, and other supplies. I've bought my most beautiful earrings here, and a shirt that I get compliments on every time I wear it. The people who work at the Center are so nice you'll want to come back again and again. I wish I could come back here, but I now live in Cambridge and got rid of my car. Sigh. If you live in the Bridgewater area, you MUST check it out. By the way, the Center moved some time ago, and aren't in Central Square. They are at 992 Bedford Street (Route 18).

OK, I get it that Zumba is all about making workouts fun and bringing the joys of dance and music…read moreto everyone, but I can honestly say, after having tried most of the Zumba classes in the Boston area, that I cannot stand when a class is taught by an instructor who has less dance skills, rythym, and coordination than a bobble head on the dashboard of a pick up truck. This is where Jackie comes in, an accomplished dancer and fitness professional. The Zumba classes at Bodyfit just get better and better. Jackie incorporates bollywood, various latin dances, hip hop, swing, and other dance styles to keep things interesting. I don't get bored (this is a feat in itself for me) and I really like that Jackie cycles high intensity songs interspersed with low intensity to keep that metabolism going. I have learned so much about dance, it never feels like a workout, and it is super affordable.

I love this place! I was looking for a good Zumba class in the area. Like the other reviewers I've…read morebeen to some pretty bad classes. One that I took at my gym was entertaining in that I've never seen anyone do Latin dance moves with a bored expression on their face. Jackie is not playing around. The moves are fast, she will seek you out if you are totally lost, and she is always enjoying herself. After trying one class for free (go to her website and print out a pass) I decided to pay the monthly fee ($59). Unlike some places she doesn't put rigid restrictions on passes. I'm going to spend the month taking each of her classes and figuring out which ones I want to continue. I find her Zumba class very challenging, but I also really liked her kickboxing class.

Mellara has such a special presence: warm, calm and heart filled. I loved her teaching of the Yoga Nidra practice. Suzy her co-teacher at the retreat has a bubbly, loving vibe that makes people feel safe and comfortable. I loved the overall flow of the retreat: starting in silence, the balance of Yoga and teachings and the openness and love that the teachers bring to this work. The retreat attendees were also lovely and enjoyed the friendliness and community of the group. Food was wonderful and enjoyed that there was herb tea available all the time:)

Both Mellara & Suzy did an amazing job creating a beautiful and safe space for us to deepen our practice through yoga and meditation. The retreat was Friday evening, all day Saturday, and half-day Sunday... And was designed thoughtfully with strong, mild, yin, and restorative yoga. Meditation and teachings were woven throughout our entire time. In addition, there was opportunity to explore the beautiful Westerbeke Ranch (if desired) and spend time alone hiking, resting, journaling, or whatever the soul needed. Intentional thought was put into creating this time, and I was allowed to go deeper into my true self through teachings. It was a wonderful experience.

My 10 year old and I have been consistently doing the biocharger, PEMF, and RASHA therapies and have felt a cumulative lift in the respiratory and yeast related symptoms we were experiencing. My son does the RASHA (scaler energy sound therapy) for 75 minutes once per week and feels immediate relaxation and focus during and after the session, which is something he often struggles with. Most recently, I've been doing the Emsella chair (pelvic floor stimulation) and feel stronger after only 4 sessions. Nola and Rita are incredibly attentive and extremely knowledgeable in these modalities and truly understand what it means to heal the body deeply. They treat every client like family, and I'm so glad we found them.

I went for a 90 minute float tank session and left very refreshed, a great meditation -- they offered a complimentary tea and foot massage afterward to complete the experience. Facility is clean, well-designed and quite relaxing. Easy to book online and ample parking. Happy to have found a local business that is so well-run, and well-equipped for therapies that can be difficult to find on the South Shore. Will be back any time I need a reset.

Full disclosure: Danielle is a friend of mine. However, I am also a discerning massage junkie, and…read morehave traveled around the world getting all types of good, bad, and just plain weird massages. Danielle is one of the best because she really, really knows what she is doing. Her certification list is crazy long, and she is continuously improving her practice. I've suffered through many a phone call with her rambling about the anatomy of a shoulder, for example. She studied cadavers once, for a yoga training class! DEDICATION. Danielle's massages are not a "rub the lotion on the skin" experience; they're therapeutic and she actually fixes your aches and pains. I drove up to Boston from my home in Philly recently to visit Danielle's new beautiful, relaxing space, and have decided 6 hours in a car is worth the massage alone. Her company is pretty great too, so all you lucky Bostonians have no excuse not to visit her and enjoy!

I have been a faithful client of Christines for over 20 years and the " feeling fantastic " is always my experience with Christine's' professional expert techniques! She checks in with me to see what I need and then uses her intuition to skillfully give a deep relaxation massage and a gentle cleansing facial. Using her gifted hands, subtle scented handmade lotions, hot stones, calming sound/music she creates a healing personalized approached for her clients. Also, Christine is a yoga teacher, her classes range from gentle to upbeat with easy clear sequence flows to follow. She gives each participant attention, helping modify a pose if needed. She's creative in her instruction, using a holistic approach that might included homemade teas to sip, gentle mini massages, sound baths and/or meditations for rejuvenation of her students. Self care is a necessity, I recommend that you visit Christine at Skinsations Seacret Garden for a massage or facial. Take one of her Yoga classes or sound baths and feel rejuvenated and full to the brim with positive calming or vibrant energy! As a client or student, Christine will generously indulge you with nurturing personalized attention, caring encouragement and support.

All that said, when i absolutely need to be nurtured, have all the tension rubbed out of me from head to toe, and need to unwind from stress, Christine is my absolute first choice! She makes many of her own lotions and scents (from her own garden), utilizes hot packs, lavender packs, hot stones, sound/music, and lighting to create an amazingly relaxing and restorative space around her clients. I love how much thought and time she has put into creating a unique spa environment! Now on to her massage... Christine has both a firm and deep pressure, a serious knowledge of the human body, the intuition to find what you need and a gentleness that allows you to receive. As a yoga teacher she can also make wonderful suggestions for daily support and rehabilitation. If you live near Quincy - GO SEE HER, it is completely and utterly worth it!!
