I am so pleased to write a 5 star review for Balanced Energy Studio in Whittier. I am 68. I have…read morebeen working on correcting years of poor posture, and poor body mechanics, most likely caused by sitting at a desk for 40 years. The staff here have been very professional in providing instruction that meets my specific needs, and to supplement physical therapy. I have the highest praise for Laurel Negrych who has been my private instructor. Her ability to listen to my concerns and then watch my movements to help me strengthen weak muscles and relax tight muscles has been amazing. Her diligence has helped be ready to keep up with my first grandchild. Thank you Laurel and Balanced Energy Studio.

Classes are well-paced and thoughtfully guided, with options that work for different levels--whether you're brand new or deep into your practice.

Hi Aubrey, Thank you for your response. While the suggestion from Giovanni to try a different class…read moremay have been intended to be helpful, it came across as discouraging due to the assumptions made, particularly the emphasis that a gentle yoga class would be better suited for me. This made me feel embarrassed and out of place. It was my first time at your studio, and I chose that specific class because it was the only option available on the schedule and I was looking for a workout rather than relaxation. I was also surprised by the question regarding my yoga experience, as I do have a background in the practice. Following our interaction, I consulted my physician, who confirmed that I am fully cleared for strenuous activity. I am unsure what prompted the assumption that I was not capable, but the experience left me feeling unnecessarily doubtful of myself. I share this feedback constructively, as these elements impacted my overall impression of the studio. I appreciate your openness and wish you and your studio continued success.

Overall, if you want a fun, community-driven workout that keeps you motivated, Kosha 5 is a must-try! Oh they have a cool projector screen too!

Just took an intro Pilates class here this morning with Aaliyah and loved it! If you're new to…read morereformer Pilates or want a class that's more focused on form and stretch, this is for you. They do fill up the entire class so the instructor isn't demonstrating how to do the moves, but she does walk around and correct form/help you transition. I appreciated this class was so much more focused on making sure you nail the basics because too many trendy studios try to "push" students do harder moves than their core is ready for. I already weight lift so I like Pilates to help me recover and practice good form (especially because I'm prone to not engage my core enough when I lift!). I'm sure their non beginner class is more challenging, but this was a perfect, restorative Saturday morning work out. I also liked the intro course because there were students from all age groups and no pretentious vibe that I've had at other studios where students judge if you're in aesthetic clothes or not (people ranged from cute fits to comfy gym clothes so you can totally do both here). Looking forward to coming back whenever I need a good recovery stretch and to perfect my core strength!

I was 214 pounds (I'm 5'2) and got winded chasing my son around the living room. I went straight to the RED/GREEN series and am now down to 198 along with eating better. And I can keep up with my running toddler! It was quite a challenge at first and while I still modify some of the poses, I leave having done a great workout! If you're new to hot yoga, I highly recommend starting with Alex Roberts or Kya Warren so you learn the modifications. They are great at going through the levels of each pose. For a high intensity workout, I recommend taking Danny or Bella! I always leave feeling so pumped and having done a great workout. My schedule is limited so I just take who is teaching during my availability but some other great instructors I've taken are: Evan, Danielle, and Katelin.

I usually take classes with Jinsol Bae, who is kind, attentive, and always tailors each session to the specific needs and abilities of the group.

It makes the experience feel very personal and almost like a private session. Highly recommend!

I was interested in joining their group Pilates classes, but I was told that I first had to…read morecomplete three private sessions, so I purchased a package of three sessions for about $200. I was actually really excited because I had always wanted to try Pilates. Unfortunately, my experience with the instructor was very disappointing. During my first session, she repeatedly made comments like, "You can't do that," "Your posture isn't good," and "Just try to do it like me." Since it was my first time doing Pilates, I expected more guidance, patience, and encouragement. Instead, I felt discouraged and uncomfortable throughout the session. I went back for the second session only because I had already paid for the package, but unfortunately, the experience was even worse. I felt uncomfortable for the entire hour and did not feel supported or encouraged at all. I still had one session left, but I ended up canceling it because I didn't want to put myself through another uncomfortable experience. I understand that she needed to correct posture and technique, but I think there is a big difference between giving constructive feedback and making a beginner feel discouraged. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed how excited I felt about trying Pilates.

Many studios change and start doing other things but this studio always had a class that stayed true to the original Bikram. Even if it has some different new classes, as long as it keeps having the 26 postures from the old days, I will continue to go! There's nothing like it! The way you feel after is like no other feeling in the world! Kayan has sold the biz and as an amazing teacher but I'm sure the new owner will have the same enthusiasm and commitment as she did. If you've never tried it I highly recommend doing the 26 postures. It will change your life.
