I went to…read moreCommon Ground for a meditation on Sunday but arrived a little late and didn't want to interrupt the session. Lucky for me, I was able to come back a few weeks later for a people of color meditation session. Whaaaaaa!!! I didn't know they had such things! You get to the center and if it's not super busy you can park in the lot. For most of their bigger events or weekend meditation days you'll want to get there plenty early since it fills up fast. When you enter there are spots for your shoes (like a yoga studio) and coat hangers. They recommend you take any valuables with you or don't bring them since it not a monitored area. There are two meditation rooms on the first floor, one with a kitchen where you can get tea or water if there's not a session happening. The second is a large room where we had the people of color event. Chairs, blankets and cushions are provided so you don't have to worry about buying anything. The instructors and space are very welcoming. They have great ways to ground and connect everyone together quickly but also authentically. I'm definitely going back, it was a great experience and you learn about mindfulness, Buddhism and the practice.

I absolutely adore this hidden gem for regaining your Zen! I've been to other Buddhist Meditation…read morecenters in Minneapolis and have felt somewhat intimidated.. This place and it's participants are so approachable and its philosophy entirely undogmatic. I go to the Sunday morning 10:30 a.m. Dharma talks. If you're a Mama or Papa you can even bring your 1-8 year old to be part of the kids group while you get your Buddha on. The space is small, spare, and perfectly relaxing. Sit on a chair or cushion and choose to donate whatever amount you're comfortable with for all activities. They have any number of special issue groups, retreats, yoga, T'ai Chi, and even a program for teenagers. Mark is insightful without being at all preachy or superior. I LOVE that after the talk, participants ask questions regarding real world challenges they are facing in terms of integrating their practice into their daily lives. Somehow it manages to make that day's talk clearly applicable to everday life without feeling as though anyone is engaging in 'T.M.I.' or some sort of New Agey therapy group. I float out feeling much lighter and calmer!

I've taken 15 heated yoga classes at Up Yoga and enjoyed all of them! Hannah is my favorite…read moreinstructor!!!!! Hannah's classes are a 10/10 each time!!!All of the instructors are supportive, bring great energy, and invite you to challenge yourself. I take classes through ClassPass and Up Yoga is my most frequented studio. Very grateful they are on ClassPass! The studio is inviting and very straight forward. There is street parking and small lots on either side of the building (you probably aren't supposed to park in front of the cremation society during their business hours, but when I go to class the lot is empty and it's after hours, so I park there). You check in at the front desk, leave your shoes and jacket in the lobby, then head into the studio. They have so many class times to choose from, and they stagger the times just right so if you're someone like me who arrives 15 minutes to each class, you don't have to awkwardly wait around for another class to get out before you can go in. It's nice getting adjusted to the heat in the studio before you start moving. I would definitely recommend arriving at least a couple minutes early. You bring your own mat and water bottle. They provide weights, blocks, and towels. They also have cubbies inside of the studio for you to put your belongings, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own lock or leaving your stuff unattended. They also have bathrooms and a changing room if you're coming right from work. I cannot recommend Up Yoga enough!!

I love coming here. The only reason I am leaving 3 stars is because no one told me that it costs…read moreonly $40 a month if you go exclusively to kids classes. I paid $94 since my baby was 3 months old and coming only to kids classes. I canceled during the holidays and decided to come back only to find out a much cheaper rate that I could have been paying in the past 9 months. I had no idea! And I looked online as well at their class options. This was not offered as an option. Also, it sucks that you can't put your membership on hold! My baby was sick and we couldn't come for 2-3 weeks but I still had to pay $94 for that month! Come on! The gym seems behind in technology and they should educate their attendees better about the membership options. My baby loves coming to class here. The crawlers yoga is very fun! Songs, playing, sounds and communicating with other toddlers.

I have visited Blooma a handful of times across the last few years. I've been there as a non…read morepregnant, a pregnant, and a post partum woman. I want to love this place- truly. They have created a community in this studio for women and children, have childcare, and allow you to come and go as you please. They even often classes where you are encouraged to bring your baby and either practice yoga/barre, feed, or even sit and close your eyes. The space is truly yours to do what is calling to you. That part I love, love, love. Now for what I don't love. Unfortunately the atuis a little small and the yoga mats they provide are a little.... worn and torn. But mostly, I have felt a bit intimated going there. Many of the instructors and women practice eastern/holistic practices which I think is absolutely great! I have so much respect for that. But I didn't feel respected for my choice to practice western care- especially when it comes to child birthing. Maybe it was this one instructor- and I am not giving them a fair chance? But I felt daggers for being a suburban, working mom and who had a western childbirth. And that is not welcoming. Also- I wish the studio had mirrors to work on form. I think there are a lot of great concepts here and with minor tweaks can get there!

...y'all are so lucky right now…read more Why? Because I'm sharing this gem with you (while I'd much, MUCH rather keep it to myself). Seriously. Nordeast Yoga is what got me into yoga. Period. I was going through a very...let's call it "transitional" time 1.5 years ago, and I deeply credit Nordeast Yoga for helping me successfully live through it without going insane - as a place for grounding, being mindful, and bettering myself both physically and mentally. I'm a huge fan of yoga now thanks to Nordeast. The studio space itself is beautiful: hardwood floors, large windows that let in floods of sunlight, exposed brick...it's really perfect. In the evening, classes are naturally lit with the setting sun and candles. Each instructor has something very unique to offer. Classes range from higher levels in yoga ability to straight up beginner, some are more meditative, others are a fantastic blend of meditation meets a pretty intense (and satisfying) workout. I also appreciate the adjustments when I'm in a pose. I've taken both Annie or Christy's classes and both are absolutely wonderful yoga teachers. I also am a BIG fan of their music choices (what is up with yoga and bad music!?), especially Yoga a-Go-Go. Once a month, there's even metal yoga, and nothing says warrior 2 quite like Iron Maiden. Drop-In class prices are about $13, and you can also purchase monthly passes (with a bonus free beer at its completion!). Class times vary (and it's a one-studio space), so definitely check the schedule on their website to find the best class/time for you. Soooo yeah. Nordeast Yoga is amazing. Definitely check it out. You're welcome.

My back will never be perfect but this is the best it's been since before surgery. Rachel, and all instructors, address everyone's needs/limitations. And then covid.
