Taking a class at The Yoga Lily doesn't just help your body it helps your mind & spirit.

I've been studying yoga with Pam for almost four years now. I started by buying classes from her…read moreLivingSocial special and once I started I found that I didn't want to go more than a week without my yoga classes. Being overweight when I first started yoga, I'd tried other studios and was really uncomfortable. Not here. Pam is very open about how her yoga practice has helped her live a healthier life and she's incredibly welcoming to all shapes an sizes. Don't be scared that you're too fat or in-flexible or anything less than; you're not and Pam has a way of bringing out your personal beauty with each class. My yoga practice here has also helped me to have my own "ah-ha" moments and helped me realize my own potential and worth. I could go on, but instead I'll encourage you to try it for yourself.

Heartspace is the BEST! I had ZERO yoga experience, but was very interested in starting a practice…read more I reached out to Heartspace after several of my coworkers recommended it, and Andrew, the owner, directed me to a 6 week beginners series that was just about to start. I was really nervous to walk into a regular yoga class with absolutely no experience so this was perfect for me! I LOVED the beginner series; Rebecca, the instructor, did a beautiful job teaching proper form and all of the basic poses one should know in order to feel confident walking into any yoga class. She is incredibly knowledgeable about ALL aspects of yoga and can offer you any modifications that you may need. I was so impressed with Rebecca and this series that I did a second round of it! Now, I attend Rebecca's regular Saturday morning flow class and can't say enough good things about it! Yoga has done so many great things for me both physically and mentally in the short time I've been practicing, and I have Heartspace and Rebecca to thank for that! Heartpsace is full of caring and competent people who create a supportive and engaging environment for personal practice and growth. I will continue to be a regular here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a studio.

Nice little yoga studio!…read more It's hard to review yoga classes since the right yoga class for one person is probably going be the wrong one for someone else. However, there are some common ground In Harmony Yoga has to be a 4 star yoga studio. It's locally owned, offers inexpensive classes, has nice instructors and a reasonable schedule. I have been coming here for Hot Warrior Yoga with my boyfriend for two weeks. Our instructor David, is very nice and attentive, and he also cares about injuries. If you are like my boyfriend, have injured knee or back, David always reminds you alternative poses. Also David emphasis on the breathing techniques as well as the poses, it helps beginners like me a lot.

How am I the first person to review The Yoga Loft? I barely do yoga…read more That said, I started coming to this studio a couple of months ago, and since then have attended several classes. So while I may not have a good feel for the breadth of this studio's offerings, I certainly have enough experience with the place to share some thoughts. Quick story. For the past few years I've been having some trouble with my back. Nothing serious. Just muscle strain. But my wife was tired of hearing me complain about it, and I was tired of complaining too. Our collective thought was that the stretching and core strengthening of yoga might be just the thing I needed. But I had never done yoga before. And my flexibility was abysmal. Forget about touching my toes, I can barely touch my knees. So my wife found a few local studios that had a gentle yoga class. The Yoga Loft was one of them. And it just so happens that not only did the class fit well into my calendar, this studio just happens to be in the same building as my favorite cheesemonger. Done. And done. So I ran out and bought a yoga mat and some yoga pants. Now I'm doing yoga, and I like it. This class in particular focuses on making sure participants aren't overdoing it. Mary encourages her students to check-in with their bodies periodically, and offers alternatives to the poses just in case things get too intense. I love that. And I love how I feel after each class. I still can't touch my toes. But I think I'm getting closer to my knees. And without a doubt, this class is starting me down a healthier path. Well, at least a path with greater flexibility and maybe core strength. Because the health benefits from the class may be slightly diminished by my lunches at the cheese store next door. Which sometimes include an afternoon beer. Yoga followed by amazing cheese and great beer? That's my kind of exercise program.

It's difficult to find the words to describe AMI. A school? A philosophy? A community? The site is…read morea wonderful place where a philosophy is taught by the institute's founders within a community. There are classes in a variety of topics related to the study of yoga science and meditation, and opportunities for practicing it. All of this in the midst of the beauty of one of the founders' amazing artwork. The basic 6-week Learn to Meditate course is life-changing, though there is a shorter Saturday morning intro class, as well. Experience it yourself! Tonight I enjoyed one of the monthly Friday "Dinner & a Movie" evenings. A delicious catered vegetarian meal (this one Italian) and a film with discussion (this one "A Little Chaos," with Kate Winslet) with a nice group of people. Very enjoyable!!

Learning to practice meditation using the teaching has transformed my life and lowered my stress levels significantly.

Being a part of the institute gives you support to keep learning and growing. Namaste!
