I have been going to Essential Yoga this summer because of their Groupon deal, and I have really…read moreenjoyed it. The instructors have all been very friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I appreciate that there are a variety of yoga styles offered. All of the classes I have attended have been very basic - stuff that anyone in reasonably good health could do. For someone who is really into yoga, Essential Yoga might not offer enough of a challenge, but for someone who is looking to try out yoga or just add a little bit of exercise and tranquility to a hectic lifestyle, this place would be perfect.

As I have gotten older, I found hot yoga classes were just too hot. Instead of enjoying the…read moreclasses, I was counting down the minutes until it was over. So I looked around & decided to try Essential & have been very happy with my decision. I prefer morning classes & there are several morning options. All the teachers have been knowledgeable & there are classes for different levels. Of course any yoga class can be modified to fit an individuals level, no competition here. There are men & women more my age but also younger students too. The meditation class on Thursday with Meg is free, so I take advantage of this peaceful time when I can. Parking is right outside the door. Also there is a massage studio connected to Essential, they share an entrance. I have taken advantage of Megan's wonderful massage skills. I have done yoga about 10 years off & on at three other places & think Essential will be my home. I encourage everyone to try the new member special & I think you will agree that this is a wonderful yoga studio.

A much different approach than my typical " climb on and fall off repeatedly till you figure it out" method. The one thing that might make it an even better experience, place a curtain between the "warm up on the dock yoga session" and the guys going out fishing.

I am overwhelmingly impressed with Club Pilates in Springfield. Everyone is very friendly and the…read moreinstructors are very knowledgeable. The classes are always different and hold a lot of variety by incorporating jump boards, cardiO, TRX. Unlike some places, even if you take the same level class, with the same instructor on the same day of the week at the same time, each week, the class is different and there is variety. Time seems to fly, it's enjoyable, and I haven't found myself regretting going or feeling bored or watching the clock! So glad this came to Springfield- Highly recommend!!

The one star deduction is for a crappy instructor - Jodi - who seems to be more interested in bitching about how sore she is is and then proceeding to do every exercise from start to finish instead of perhaps helping out new students or improving the form for all. But as long as you avoid her, you'll be golden. The owner and the rest of the staff are incredibly helpful. I even received an individual lesson for mat Pilates and was the only one who signed up for that specific class. The instructor walked me through every position and really cared about how I did there.
