I want to get strong now to prevent any of that happening in my future and I am so glad I decided to try some classes. I am currently taking Zumba Gold and Tai Chi and really loving both. I have absolutely noticed how my legs have gotten stronger and I feel more confident walking with improved posture and balance. Molly Roffman, the owner and instructor at StepWISEnow, is a physical therapist. She is so knowledgable about balance and fall risk and gives talks to medical professionals about its importance. Molly is an excellent and patient instructor. Her enthusiasm is infectious and when we're doing Zumba Gold, it's so much fun, you don't even feel like you're working out. Tai Chi class has made me stronger and feel so graceful, which is something new for me. If you have been thinking about your balance or have friends or relatives you might be concerned about, you need to come here. It's a warm, comforting and supportive place. Molly also offers a separate workshop on balance training, which has been very popular in the studio. Our neighborhood is so lucky to have StepWISEnow. Support your local business and come take a class. Or like me, take two! Oh and I did I mention that your first class is FREE? Come to the studio and let's get stronger together!

I enjoy most learning tai chi which is amazing when practiced 2+ times a week, improving balance, improving strength. It's very calming, especially doing it in a group! And Molly is a wonderful instructor who offers a deep yet practical knowledge and makes it accessible to all. I started last spring because of some osteoarthritis and feel so much better, my pain is much much less, and I move better, too. If you are over 55, check this studio in Ossining out! Lots of class offereings -- line dancing, chair yoga, zumba gold that gets your heart pumping, etc. Honestly, I'm so happy it's in my neighborhood!

After 2 spine surgeries and a long list of other injuries, I began looking into yoga. There are so…read moremany types of yoga and since I am not fluent in Sanskrit, they were all Greek to me. When I met with Susan, I got the feeling that this would be a safe place to try. I started with the beginner's package which I have repeated several times over the past year. I now understand the meaning of "yoga practice". For me, the progress was slow and steady but the results have been amazing. My posture feels 100% better. My back pain is just about gone. Susan is a wonderful teacher! She has a genuine desire to help each of her students. She is part instructor, part coach and if needed, part cheerleader or part drill sergeant. And she hires other instructors with the same approach. The classes are small and even the more advanced students get individual attention to help them improve their practice. Everyone has different challenges and limits but Susan takes a sincere, personal interest in coaching people through them, as do all of the teachers. I highly recommend this place!

I started attending Susan's classes 2x a week a few weeks ago and the pain that sometimes was so debilitating I couldn't walk first thing in the morning is unbelievably almost gone!! The classes are gentle poses using props that create an environment suited to both beginners and the more experienced in yoga. Classes are small and nonjudgmental. You practice at your own level. Yoga poses are combined with guided meditation leaving me feeling renewed and at peace after each session. Compared to what I paid for PT the prices per session are very reasonable. I just can't say enough about Susan and all the instructors here.

There are Bikram studios in southern Westchester, but thankfully Bikram Yoga Yorktown is there for…read morethose of us who are north of White Plains and can't get enough of the heat. All of the instructors are phenomenal; especially when I was new to the practice and didn't believe I was capable of touching my toes, Donna and Patty were very positive and encouraging. Jane, who owns the studio, is also a very good instructor and very passionate about the health benefits of yoga. The majority of people who practice at this studio are a bit older than your beatnik hipster twenty-something from Brooklyn (you have to be to afford real estate in Westchester!), and I find most of the women who practice regularly to have their little yoga clique going on. The locker rooms are spacious, with cubbies instead of actual lockers, but there are only two showers. In general, everyone is quick in the shower, so there is never more than a 5 minute wait. The hot room itself is spacious, but classes tend to be full as this is a high-traffic studio. (There's this one guy who's notorious for blocking people so they cannot see themselves in the front mirror and breathing like Darth Vader, which can be irritating.) Bikram Yoga Yorktown has carpeting; apparently the carpet is deep-cleaned regularly, which is further evidenced by the lack of funky smells in the hot room and the studio. On weekdays, there are four or five classes offered per day and on the weekends, three classes are offered. I do wish one of the evening classes was slightly later; for those commuting from Manhattan, it's impossible to make a 7:30pm class after work. The recent addition of one hour "express" classes to the schedule is great for someone who is pressed for time; practicing Bikram regularly can get quite time consuming and having class flexibility (no pun intended) is always an advantage. I also wish this studio was a bit more web-savvy. Especially in these winter months, classes have been cancelled with merely a sign posted on the door of the studio. An email notification or Facebook post would be nice - there have been multiple instances of where I was looking to take the 3pm Saturday class, only to discover it was cancelled and with no way of making the 4pm class in Larchmont on time.

On a recent visit to Danbury for my cousin's wedding, I was very excited to discover there was a…read moreBikram Yoga studio 2 miles from our hotel. I was in serious need of cleansing after so much food & wine! I went to the 8am class on a Sunday morning. I got there early to find a large studio. It was probably the biggest Bikram Yoga studio I've been to. I've been to 2 studios in Michigan, and 1 in St. Augustine, FL. The actual room where we practice is small and fairly standard, but they had sizeable changing rooms for both men & women. They also seemed to have a room for instructors. As I was trying to figure out where the women's room was (since the instructor was elsewhere), I stumbled upon what looked like a bed and area for instructors to stay. Maybe its for inbetween classes? I don't know! It was a nice surprise to find out that on your first visit at Bikram Yoga Danbury, your mat & towel rental is free, a savings of $3. The drop-in class rate is $22, which is $7 more than my local Bikram Yoga studios. These are individually owned, so they choose their rate. The packages were also more expensive, and not as many classes are offered. Obviously this is based on demand, which I found surprising that the 2 Michigan studios have more than double the classes. The instructor was very nice, and good at instruction/guidance. I thought it was odd that she discouraged drinking water in between postures after the Eagle pose like every other instructor allows. She said it's a distraction & we should all be hydrated already if we're drinking the amount of water we should be drinking. So, basically it's almost pointless to bring in water. She called me out for drinking water (not by name though), and asked that we all wait until the final posture. It was a good class & I'm so glad I went. If you've been thinking of trying Bikram Yoga, go for it! Give yourself time to adjust, be patient with yourself and take advantage of the new student package. It takes at least 30 days to get the hang of it. It's good for you!
