Today I took my gentle yoga class with Jayne, one of the owners of Yoga on York. Jayne is an…read moreexcellent teacher and very detailed with her instruction. I know what an excellent teacher is because I am a RYT-200 teacher of yoga, and taught for 12 years until I could no longer teach due to physical issues not related to yoga. The practice room is small, very clean (no dust balls) and quite nice. You enter from the door on York Road and there is a tiny registration area where you leave your shoes. The owners cleverly divided the studio from the commercial area with a set of sliding frosted glass doors to provide filtered light and privacy. Jayne locks the door about five minutes after the class starts to provide security - and peace to the yogis and yoginis in the studio. There is space for 12 to 16 students to practice comfortably. In the back of the studio behind a half-wall are two separate dressing rooms with lots of clothes hooks, a cabinet with props and a large bottle of hand cleanser (nice idea). Behind this area is a massage room and a little further back is a very clean, well-stocked restroom. There are some nice photographs and artwork on display giving the room a very warm feeling. So now that I've described the environment, what is it about the class that makes this a five star production. There are many teachers, with many styles, but Jayne is a spiritual yoga dance instructor. She has many years of dance and yoga experience and has her own dance company. She is also a creator of aerial yoga and has written a book about this lighter than air yoga called "Aerial Dance." WBALTV recently featured this on one of their shows at: http://www.wbaltv.com/news/health/Sarah-tries-aerial-yoga/-/9379230/12559522/-/784eag/-/index.html She has a unique understanding of how the body moves in space and how the postures can be done with safety from her many years of dancing and yoga. The class always moves nicely and there are postures that focus on the tightest spaces in the body ( the lower lumbar and those terrible tight hamstrings). Students never have to worry about how they look or what level they are when they take this gentle yoga class. It's a choreographed 60-minute class that works for all. She provides breath work (pranayama), an intention for the class, postures that everyone can do (asanas) and a rest period (Savasana -corpse pose). The price is right and it is so worth the effort to attend. This class is authentic yoga, and provides the total package for anyone who wants to learn about how the mind/body connection works to reduce stress in a safe environment.

Che Yoga with instructor Dea is the best yoga experience I've ever had. Her classes include…read morestudents from the ages of 18 or 19 all the way up to the 60s-70s. I take the Neo-Soul class that is mellow/chill. Dea takes her time, watches the students to see what their limitations are and works within those parameters. Some students are more flexible, others are better with balance. She deals w/ each of us one-on-one and as a group to keep us moving, stretching, and getting us to use muscles that hadn't been used much (for some of us). When I walked into the class, I couldn't balance on one leg at all. I'd fall over. Now, I can stand on one foot, I can touch my toes, I have become more flexible. I give my highest recommendation to the Che Yoga Mobile studio. Dea is personable and extremely kind and fair. She makes everyone feel welcome.

I had thrown my back out and was having some serious pain and difficulty mobilizing, so we postponed our scheduled NRT appt. to handle my back. I was moving very slowly, and with pain, and serious range of motion limitation whne I walked in. About an hour later, though, I was up and walking easily and without pain or limitation! Using ice, laser, tape, and evaluation/ activator adjustment, she fixed me right up in less than an hour! WOW! I can only imagine how much time, money, and concern Id have wasted needlessly had I gone to a "regular" allopathic orthopedist. Ugh. THANKS to Dr. Ley!

The esthetic of Soulage is peaceful, verdant, intimate and highlights the character of Baltimore…read morearchitecture. So many captivating drishtis! The yoga teachers are many of Baltimore's best. The classes are amazingly creative and thorough, a result of the skilled teachers being given freedom and space to let their passions flourish, which is palpable for the students. Soulage's simple, teacher centered model cultivates an authentic community dedicated to the practice of yoga. Everything is personal, nothing is corporate. Teachers are paid directly, so they are justly compensated. This also makes yoga more affordable for students. The teachers have freedom to do what they love and the students will grow in turn! Parking is free after 6pm and inexpensive prior. It's location on Franklin St is one of few East to West thorough fares. People drive fast on it, so careful crossing to the studio. I love entering the cozy, arched- window filled, green room- it's the third space I've craved following the pandemic.

The experience was so amazing that I immediately booked another session. I've been a client of Steve's for almost two years now and I only can say how much the therapy sessions have helped to manage my mobility and pain. Steve is so knowledgeable about how the body works. He can zero in on a particular muscle (and name it) and figure out how it is preventing movement or causing pain. My mobility, balance, and pain level have definitely improved since I started working with Steve. I could give so many examples! But, to keep it short, I will tell you how much my feet love Steve. Health care professionals link balance with foot health. I was struggling with foot pain, and my balance was deteriorating. My feet were so sad before my stretch therapy. Even podiatrists I've seen were not able to help with the pain and stiffness in my feet. Every session provides improvement. I can actually move my toes. And I hope it continues. I have referred several people to Steve, including my daughter. He definitely rates five stars. Steve is kind and thoughtful and listens to clients concerns. I'm sure all ages and fitness levels can benefit from his knowledge.
