It truly is a lab in the sense that you are free to explore and experiment with your own emotional triggers in a pressure-free setting. This was my introduction to Method acting, and Flo did a great job of demystifying the technique and making it accessible. It has helped me deepen my connection to emotional truth so that I know now when I am really connected to the material and when I am forcing it or phoning it in. If you have never studied Method before and you're curious about it, or if you're looking for a positive environment to continue your study of the technique, you will find a welcoming home at the NOLA Actors Lab.

It's been almost two hours and I'm still all aflutter over the sewing class I took at Sew Fabulous…read more The class and instructor were SEW AWESOME! Heather was fun and super knowledgeable and has such a great attitude. She makes everyone feel so comfortable, like we're all old friends. I blew right through all my childhood sewing machine issues and am proud to say I am now fairly adept at threading the bobbin and machine, a task that reduced me to hysterical tears when I was 12 when I promised the lady I babysat for to sew a bunch of padded frames for her business; she gave me her sewing machine but there were no instructions and no Internet. I slowly devolved into an angst-based shame spiral that consumed my every waking thought before tearfully admitting defeat months later. This was seriously the most fun I have had in a long time. Everything about it--the cheerful open space, Heather's teaching style (awesome), the fun little project to get our feet wet--was perfect. It's taking everything in me not to call in sick tomorrow and stay home and sew! Take these classes! You'll love them.

When I was 10, I used my mother's sewing machine without permission. The resulting tangle took her…read morenearly 5 months to fix. I was henceforth banned from touching the machine, and my impressionable little self took that to heart. I do not use sewing machines because I still believe--20 years later--in my deadly touch. For Christmas in 2014, I asked for a sewing lesson with Heather. We'd met at a street festival when she was manning a booth with her beautiful hand-sewn products, and she told me all about her classes. The prices are reasonable for a group class, and I thought this would be a good start to move from being banned from touching a sewing machine to actually using one. A family member gave me a gift certificate for Sew Fabulous, and off we went! I called ahead and told Heather about the sewing machine I'd be bringing to class. She asked a few questions about the model and assured me that she could teach me to use that one. The class was fun, but I personally had some issues. Despite assuring me that she could teach me to use the machine I brought, Heather actually couldn't. She had no idea how to make basic things go on this machine. If she'd told me that she had no idea, I would have done the class on one of her demo machines instead of hauling a sewing machine across town. Instead, I spent most of the class trying to trouble-shoot things myself and just being frustrated. I don't feel like I learned a lot from this class because of the struggles with the machine. Were I to do it again, I'd use one of her demo machines until I felt like I had the skills to make things go on any machine. But I would take more classes with Heather, if that says anything. (The machine I brought is a particular type of Pfaff that's modern but intended to be very manual. It's not one of the heavily computerized models that most sewers favor these days. This one is adjustable to the max, but adjustments require knowledge of the proper settings for each knob. In other words, it's a very particular machine. But as I type this, I am sitting in a room with both the sewing machine and multiple items that were sewn on that machine including some lovely curtains and a duvet cover. So. It does work.) Accessibility notes: several steps up into shop. No lift or ramp. No Braille signage.

Their classes are thoughtful, grounding, and challenging in the best way, while still feeling accessible and supportive. You never feel rushed or judged, just guided. What I love most is how much intention they put into building real community. The free library and hang-out area invite you to stay and connect, and fun touches like the current bingo challenge make the studio feel playful and human, not transactional. Free to Be is more than just a yoga studio, it's a space for movement, connection, and belonging. I can't recommend it enough
