I came for a drop in class from out of town. The studio is a beautiful space, however the teacher,…read morewho opened the studio, did not arrive until about 4 minutes before the class started. It is considerate, professional and standard operating procedure to have the studio and space open for 15 minutes before class. Students need time to use the bathroom, settle in, grab props, and take a few quiet minutes to themselves before beginning practice. Instead, there were 7 of us standing outside by the door waiting in the sun and it was a very odd dynamic when the teacher parked and arrived to let us all in because the teacher should ALWAYS arrive before the students if there is no open door/front desk. The teacher did not mention specifically which props to have for practice, so every time we did a movement with a new prop, about half of the students had to get up and grab them from the prop room which is very disruptive to practice. Lastly, the teacher guided students into trying Handstand without making space for alternatives like Dolphin or Headstand, and more importantly without any of the basic energetic cues for hands, elbows, and shoulders that are strictly necessary to provide students for this posture in order to protect your neck and shoulders.

I LOVE this studio. I've practiced yoga for a long time (maybe 20+ years) and have been a student…read moreat YA for about 3 years. Its my favorite! I love the variety of classes and teachers. Each teacher makes you feel welcome and accommodates for all levels. Some days I feel like a higher intensity workout while other days, I may crave something a little less. There is something for everyone. I feel so refreshed physically and mentally when I leave the studio. It always ends with an amazing lavender washcloth to put over your face to cool/calm down. For my birthday this year, I had wished that I could do yoga all day. My wish was granted when I attended their annual Yoga Festival that was held in town. It was truly bliss and I am so grateful! Dream come true!

One night she casually asks the class which animals in the animal kingdom are the friendliest... and which ones are the biggest jerks. It turns into a quick, funny group discussion before we even roll out our mats--consider it a warm-up for your personality. But don't be fooled by the lightness. This is a seriously good workout. Ali pushes you in a way that makes you believe you can do the hard stuff. You leave sweaty, accomplished, and genuinely proud of yourself. The classes are: * Challenging but not intimidating * Educational without being preachy * Lighthearted without losing focus The music deserves its own shoutout. Ali clearly curates the playlist every single time. No recycled vibes. Every class feels fresh--and I've been to seven so far. Most importantly, the energy in the room is always positive. People are smiling. Everyone feels welcome. Ali is kind, friendly, and genuinely inclusive, whether it's your first class or your fiftieth. If you're looking for a yoga class that's smart, challenging, not too serious, and consistently good--this is it.

Pilates: I love attending the reformer classes, particularly Alba's and Jessica's, but I've attended most if not all of the instructors' classes and they've all been great. The weekend classes do get kind of quick so it's better to book in advance. Gym: Clean, never packed (at least when I go). I always find space to stretch with no issue and have never had to wait for what I need. People put their weights back. There are spray bottles and cloths to wipe what you use after. The bathrooms are clean, and the red light sauna is a treat (honestly my deciding factor for adding the membership lol). I've yet to use the cold plunge or the showers. You get $10 off when you have more than 1 membership. I had a billing issue in the beginning and they were very responsive and helpful. All together I pay $164/mo for both.

Unfortunately I don't highly recommend it. There are many things I do like: it's a diverse studio…read morein terms of teachers and students, it's pretty affordable, and the teachers are generally pretty inclusive. What I don't like is that it's not the cleanest studio. Like I've practiced where dust balls and left behind clumps of hair land on my mat when the person next to me drops their mat. And, there never is enough space when the class is crowded so you might be forced to practice by the door which is where everyone walks in and tracks in dirt from outside. But my review is actually about getting pregnant and asking for a membership freeze! At first it seemed so convenient. Other studios made me fill out a form but this one just said to send an email. So I did. They didn't specify any policies in place and I just thought they were the most mom-friendly studio! But in my flurry (I was traveling abroad for 2 weeks) I didn't read the end part of the email where it asked me to tell them when I wanted the freeze to start. So the next billing cycle came and I caught the charge and circled back. I asked for them to freeze my membership immediately. They replied and told me sure and that I would be credited an additional month when I returned. Everything seemed fine. Then a month later, I kid you not, I got charged again! I emailed them and asked if it was a mistake. Someone else replied and said that it was not- it's part of their 30 day cancellation policy to charge me. And then I immediately received an email after that that my membership got cancelled. So I asked them about the credit, why I was receiving a cancellation notice when I asked for a freeze... and why would I be charged a full month then get my membership immediately canceled? I emailed them three times. I finally learned that there is a policy and freezes only last 90 days. When you request a freeze, you need to specify the start and end date. I still don't know why my membership got canceled instead of frozen. I understand if they are understaffed but when it comes to billing, there should be clear and consistent policies stated available to read online, they should be email to clients when clients inquire, and someone should reply quickly when there are discrepancies!

This was my first time doing pilates (I have studied a number of different martial arts and yoga…read moreover the years, but it's been more than a decade!). I attended a noon class and the instructor/owner Nicole was great - she is clearly a very naturally gifted body worker, and she is also extremely knowledgeable and accomplished when she demonstrates her technique. She is very exact and can explain the various stretches and moves in articulate detail. I would have been intimidated by this, but she is also a very warm and encouraging (read: forgiving) instructor, perfect for a novice such as myself. The more advanced students also seemed to get a lot out of her nuanced adjustments and corrections: She was also able to move fluidly between students with a very wide range of experience and capability. I also noticed that the studio interior was well designed for pilates and bodywork. The space was not overly "woo woo" like some yoga studios you see these days, but also not cold like a gym; it was the perfect combination that communicated "this is a kind and nurturing place, and we also intend to do serious work on your body." I plan to return when my schedule allows and would highly recommend this place for anyone interested in starting pilates or continuing a practice you already have in motion.

Both times I went there were interruptions because a few other people needed special attention during class session which are costly minutes. I realize that's the down side of taking a class vs private. But a private session well over 100 isn't within my budget. It's too bad Pilates is so expensive because I'd like to try more classes. I took the classes with the owner and she was extremely knowledgeable, but rather than having long winded explanations of the history of Pilates, more attention to the workout would be best.
