She showed me around the studio and I was able to borrow a mat and settle in before the class started. The regulars were super friendly and I felt very welcome. The class was great and Christa offered options for every pose, to allow for different levels of experience. Will definitely attend classes here again when I visit Downingtown in the future.

This is not a yoga studio, it's a place of wellness. I am always greeted with kindness from the owner, instructors and patrons. The selection of classes are great.

Physical issues have resolved under th: back pain, insomnia, headaches and more. Emotionally and mentally, Svaroopa Yoga has given my tools to quiet my mind and live more in the bliss. Both the asana, yoga poses, and meditation program have brought me into a place deeper inside. You can choose how much or how little you want to do. From a weekly yoga class to meditation progams, or more. They offer many onsite and online programs to help you deepen into Self if that's the path you wish to choose. Almost everything is available both online and in-person. So if you live nearby or across the country, I encourage you to take advantage of what they have to offer.

Decent weight machines (few fixable issues) and free weights. Sauna is always a treat after a workout. Front end staff and sales are friendly and professional. The bad: Cardio machines... Fix all the broken equipment at the Downingtown location: ellipticals, no cup holders for the elliptical machines- safety hazard placing water bottles on the floor, ab crunch machine that isn't securely bolted to the floor, and replace knobs for the leg extension machine because the numbers rubbed off. Today I saw 2 ellipticals with "out of order" signs. The elliptical next to those 2 is also out of order. I'm sure there's more. This gym is not kept up with or safe with some of the equipment. Also in the aerobics room, there's too many mats. West Chester LA Fitness never received their order for mats which might be the reason Downingtown has too many. Somebody's got to deliver them to West Chester. Other members have also wanted to just bring them to West Chester but agree that LAF needs to do this.

Planet Fitness, which is cheaper, maintains their gyms very well. Their machines are newer, and it's much cleaner. I'm switching to ACAC which is a palace compared to LA. If you're gonna go the cheaper route, Planet is the way to go, however. LA is just gross.

From her nurturing demeanor and professionalism I felt at ease... even from the first few moments i knew this was going to be a cathartic session because of how safe i felt. She works with beautiful music, and crystals and sage and big metal singing bowls and her hands. Its a wild paradox that someone can hold you lightly and also with strength and certainty and you feel comfortable to let go. Yes i cried. I hate crying and it was amazing. My whole body was lighter and i was having visual experiences that made sense- its a beautiful and rare thing to feel that your cells got nourishment. Truly cathartic and bonus was the enchanting lightness i carried with me from her session. This is part of my wellness routine

It's difficult to quantify what Emily brings to the literal and figurative table. I have been…read moreworking with her for several years and her work is constantly evolving and blooming. She begins each session with a conversation so that she can truly meet you where you are and provide a wholistic approach to what you need to heal. Whether that is an emotional or physical release, a deepened connection with source, an energetic balancing or cleansing, or so on. Every session is unique to where I am at in my physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies. She always seems to know what is wrong before I open my mouth, but she always holds space for me within her loving glow. Emily has an incredible way of making you feel instantly comfortable, even the most advanced of wall builders, like myself. I have broken down into tears before getting on the table, had massive physical releases, and healed in ways I thought weren't possible. She has guided me through deep emotional trauma as well as physical trauma (I had abdominal surgery to remove 15 tumors in 2016). I will say it's not all glitter and romance, there are often hard lessons to be learned and dealt with, and they can be difficult (but always necessary) and she guides you through it with light and love. I could go on and on, but really my words will mean nothing. What Emily offers is intuitive and experiential. Everyone's session is powerful, uniquely their own, and always far beyond what they expected. She is a true facilitator for your healing journey and I am blessed to have her in my life. My advice: go in to your session with an open mind and ready to receive her gifts.
