I recommend giving this a try!!!

She made a detailed meal plan for me that I love, as well as a workout plan that I feel very good about. She is always available via phone, text or email when I need her and her responses are always very encouraging. We talk every Friday as well and go over what is work and isn't working. I am only working with her for a month, but I will probably try to go even longer. She is honestly just what I was looking for when I started searching around for a trainer and nutritionist. She knows her stuff.

Until I started with Michelle Marie Yoga, I had never done any yoga at all. It was recommended to…read moreme as a way to build core strength and maintain flexibility, and after taking Michelle's classes for over a year I am amazed at how much it has impacted how I feel. I also notice physical changes in my body a lot more thanks to the mindfulness aspect of the Kripalu style of yoga. Michelle is a great teacher, giving personalized feedback and offering lessons and poses that fit the individual needs of the class. Although I still have a lot to learn, Michelle has helped me grow and improve every step of the way. Highly recommend, especially for a beginner like myself!

I found Krysta-Lyn through her virtual donation-based classes on Yoga Playground's schedule…read more Immediately I knew I would love her teaching style and flows. The flows are grounded in yoga basics but also challenging and inventive, even for someone like me who's 6+ years into her yoga journey. No two classes are ever the same and I love the variety. As a teacher Krysta-Lyn is intuitive, kind, encouraging, and generous. She goes above and beyond to add small memorable touches, like offering chocolate the week of Valentine's Day or allowing you to pick an intention card for class to guide you. I have been fortunate enough to get a reiki session done by Krysta-Lyn too and she was as much a joy in person as online, it was my first ever reiki session but the experience was a catalyst for a few important changes in my life. Overall I cannot say enough kind things about Krysta-Lyn, she's absolutely someone you should seek out whether that be for yoga or reiki as the experience will definitely the worth it!

The teacher, Stephanie, is great and works with all skill levels. I had only been to one yoga class prior to going to Soba Yoga and I'm totally obsessed with it! The $3 mat rentals are very convenient and there are changing rooms at the facility as well, which is great for commuters like me who don't want to lug stuff around on the T. I'm not flexible by any means but I'm still able to get a lot out of the sessions and leave feeling much more relaxed and "freed" than when I came in. It's a bit hard to explain so I guess you'll have to come to see for yourself!

I came across Stephanie Troy's Soba Yoga program when I happened to see a postcard for it at South…read moreBoston Yoga. I was immediately intrigued as I have not often come across addiction and/or recovery-based Yoga programs, and I became interested in hosting a workshop around these topics at my own Yoga studio. I grabbed a postcard with the intention of contacting Stephanie, and I am so glad I did! It became clear during our first phone conversation that Stephanie is on an authentic mission to bring the topics of addiction and recovery out from under the veils of shame and secrecy, so that true healing can occur through honest and open exploration of these difficult and prickly hurdles that so many of us are trying to navigate. Stephanie presented her "Building Health In Recovery" workshop at my studio in June, which I attended. The workshop was fantastic! Stephanie's down to earth, non-judgmental and supportive nature made it very easy for the workshop participants to open up throughout the workshop. Her knowledge on the topics of addiction and recovery is vast, but her way of sharing information made it all very accessible and non-threatening. Stephanie tells it like it is, which is a refreshing approach around topics that many tend to shy away from. We all learned a lot about the stages of addiction and recovery, as well as many invaluable ways that Yoga and nutrition can help urge us along our path to total health in Mind, Body & Spirit. By the end of the workshop, there was a real sense of community forming among the participants. The forum had offered a safe place for all of us to share, learn, and start developing more healthy and positive approaches to our struggles regardless of where we all were within the stages of these struggles. The workshop was relevant whether we were the one in recovery ourselves, or in a relationship with someone was facing such a struggle. I highly recommend Stephanie's workshop.

The particular lifestyle I live, being an avid yoga trainer/practitioner, involves a tremendous…read moreamount of physical exertion. Not only do I practice as often as possible, but I am also moving quite a bit while I teach, facilitating the efforts of others. The practicing itself is strenuous and in my life currently, my practice is less about building flexibility and much more about engagement and creating a spacious alignment. That being said, every body has its blockages and tendencies and given my self-awareness I do work to improve my practice to hold space for these tendencies, but they remain in some degree regardless of my augmentations as with each and all bodies. I have unique insight into the proper ways in which the body should move and be best utilized as I can see those efforts in others while I teach. I am able to see the common factors in all the varying tendencies of misalignment and while I can always help others be more aware of those blockages, I cannot always become more aware of them within my own physicality as these tools and techniques only breach the walls of the flesh so deeply. On top of that, the emotional and more subtle experience stirring within my students compounds within my practice, finally often being held in my physical... sometimes this entire process of very natural, yet stressful living, all organizes and focuses into one of these areas where I have such tendencies to form blockages. For example, I hold tension in my left shoulder and with many different experiences furthering my understanding of the area effected, I can fully see the connections between opposing muscle groups and the obvious truth regarding their only seeming separation... even more so do I now see how not only are all these physical elements all connected, if even in a chaotic manner, but the more subtle levels of my being are all connected in this way also. I would be a fool to ignore all this insight being brought to bare by my own mind and body, but also through skilled colleagues and friends in the health industry who have helped me to better see how I store and digest stress, and who have helped me facilitate this digestion. Hannah, more than others, has been able to not so much explain to me or educate me on the matters i describe, because she has always displayed trust in my understanding bodily, but not at all surprisingly she was able to truly empathize within the moment of therapeutic massage and connect to my body fully. Her innate skill, unlike others in her place prior, is to really connect and experience my body and in her actions educate ME in terms of utilizing her physical connection to me and the hands on approach to my blockages, all just as an opportunity to tune into the more subtle levels of my traumas and facilitate their digestion. There is a particular baseline of trust and rapport built between us and my energy against hers carries with it a dynamic true to this commentators recollection, but in the end I have worked with hundreds and only few have reached the same depths as she. I believe her ability to achieve this depth comes from her conceptual understanding of unity within mind and body... her understanding of the physical left me feeling trustworthy at every step... but in the end it was her confidence, clearly born from her curiosity to breach the surface and tune in like an antennae, and without fear see past my "knot" or my "past trauma" to attach to the energy and just essentially move it around like in the free-flowing sequence of a dance, but with 33% attention to form and function, 66% is full out empathic sensitization. At the level I practice and facilitate the moving of negative traumatic energies, this sort of integral understanding is absolutely necessary if a therapist is going to successfully manage the natural tendencies of my unique, divine design. I can say, with the utmost honestly and with all hyperbole aside, that this healer, so called Hannah is absolutely incredible at what she does.
