The atmosphere is beautiful, peaceful, and inviting, and you can really tell that a lot of thought and care went into creating the space. Everyone I've interacted with has been kind, professional, and genuinely caring. I never feel rushed or like I'm just another person coming through the door. There's a level of warmth and attention here that really stands out. I also really appreciate that Astute offers so much more than traditional counseling. Having different wellness services available in one place makes it so much easier to prioritize yourself and your overall well-being. Whether you're looking for support, trying to take better care of yourself, or simply need a space where you can breathe, reset, and focus on YOU, I definitely recommend Astute. It's honestly such a beautiful addition to the community, and I'm so glad I found them. If you've been thinking about checking them out, take this as your sign! 10/10 experience and absolutely deserving of 5 stars!

I am a regular Classpass user and cannot recommend this place enough. I've taken so many of their…read moreyoga variations, and every instructor is a joy to work with. They explain movements clearly, offer helpful modifications, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome. The studio is always clean and well-organized, and they go above and beyond by providing and setting up mats and props, which makes every class feel easy and stress-free. The overall vibe here is just unmatched. The yoga recovery candlelight classes, in particular, feel like a true reset. I leave those sessions feeling calm, centered, and relaxed for the rest of the evening. Astute offers something genuinely special, and I would confidently recommend it 5 out of 5. You can generally park right out front with city parking. So you never have to worry about circling the block and worrying about being late.

I recently went on Chill's spring meditation and wellness retreat in New Buffalo, Mich. The best…read morepart of the retreat is that I still feel relaxed and have carried the energy and lessons from the weekend into my daily routine. I'll preface it by sharing that prior to the retreat, I meditated maybe a dozen times. I went on the retreat because I wanted to incorporate more meditation into my life. Now, meditation is not only something I do, but I look forward to. The entire retreat beat my (always high) expectations. Chill's retreat included two nights at the Marina Grand hotel, five meditations, three yoga sessions, a class focused entirely on breathing, a gong bath and wellness sessions on goal setting and mindful eating. I can't say enough about Laura, who ran the retreat and runs Chill; Cari, who led the yoga sessions; and Darrell who led the meditations. The hotel was lovely - our room had a fireplace and two Adirondack chairs on the marina-facing patio - perfect for your morning coffee. The retreat also included two dinners and breakfasts - all were very good and catered to all dietary needs. We had time on our own for lunch on Saturday and my friend and I wandered into town for lunch at Beer Church Brew Co. We capped off our weekend perfectly with meditation and yoga focused on loving kindness before saying goodbye to our new friends. The retreat was perfect mix of spiritual and wellness guidance and also provided necessary time for us to reflect on the lessons of the day. I'm so happy I went and I'm already looking forward to going back to Chill and to the next retreat in the fall.

Yoga Sound Bath Experience I've been regularly attending the…read moreyoga sound bath sessions as a complement to dance classes. Matthew has thoughtfully designed each session to be a high class experience, from the moment you walk in - you're greeted by a beautiful open space, mats, bolsters, blocks, weighted eye masks, and blankets. There's a printed card which covers the details of each session provided ahead of the class that outlines the experience. The session itself is calming, deep, and a much needed disconnect from the chaos of the outside world. Afterwards he offers herbal tea and some of us spend time socializing before heading out. It's a unique experience that benefits busy people with busy lives and offers much needed self care.

Such an interesting concept for yoga/wellness. Love that they give you all the equipment, hair…read moreties, water bottles, towels, lotions, everything that you need! So nice to be able to just head out the door and have everything already set up there. It's not really yoga but if you like a workout class with loud music and overall team/high energy this could be the spot for you! The Hot Yoga classes are really fast - a good workout if you can keep up but I always end up sliding around the mat. I really enjoy the Yin classes! I'm a big runner and they're great after a long run to stretch out! The instructors are great with the hands on assists to help correct my form and deepen my stretch. I use ClassPass when I go because I'll say the membership is really expensive for what it is. I think you can use your HSA to pay for it if you get permission - but it's still too much for my budget. Definitely worth it for me to go once in a while with my ClassPass credits tho.

It was like thinking you're going to a meditative space and ending up in a crowded loud nightclub Very sad about this because I love the aesthetic, the candles, the amenities. The person who checked me in was really nice and kindly gave me a refund. I understand that many people like the music: different strokes for different folks. I don't expect the world to adjust to my preferences. But I do appreciate clarity in advertising. The calm aesthetic - and the fact that it's YOGA - led me to expect music, yes, but gentle music. I wish studios would explain on the website that it's not a traditional yoga vibe but one that is meant for those who enjoy loud strong beats. There is nothing in the description that cued me to the decibel level

Lisa Alvarez is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate healer who refreshes her practice with…read moreresearch proven, ongoing, cutting edge holistic training. Plus, her clinic is as relaxing as a spa: I feel soothed the minute I step inside! Upon separate occasions, Lisa greatly helped me recover quickly from two knee replacement surgeries as well as a hip fracture from a serious fall. Furthermore, her cutting-edge, e-stem acupuncture has been immensely healing, much more effective than dry needling. In fact, my physiotherapist told me I healed very quickly and he always found his clients who use acupuncture heal more quickly. In addition, Lisa provides other organic supplements, holistic therapies as well as topical pain relievers. These have been key for not only for my illness / injury recoveries they have helped me remain healthy as well as feel and look youthful. When Lisa opened Healing Foundations, I had been seeing another acupuncturist for over ten years. After seeing her, Lisa soon became the acupuncturist my I recommend to all my friends. I truly can't say enough about Lisa, she is a gifted acupuncturist!

I originally came here for a Yelp Event and decided to do a 10 day unlimited trial. I am so happy…read morethat I did because now I am an active member at Ritual! The whole studio has a nice zen vibe to it. Every single teacher is always so welcoming. There are bathrooms and showers in studio. The studio provides towels to put on top of yoga mats that are already available inside the studio room - this is a big plus for me because I don't have to carry my own yoga mat to bring to class. There are yoga blocks, face towels, and bands available. There's a small section for hair ties, deodorant, and basically basic needs to freshen up. Each class has a different vibe and it depends what you are looking for and each teacher has their own musical vibe they have for classes. Yin: slow movement and stretching is the main focus Hot Yoga: faster flow where it is a true cardio type workout Red Light: use of a red light yoga mat with softer/slower movement They recently added more classes that I am excited to seek out and try. Most memberships come with a 1:1 session that you can do before or after your session to help focus on your form/flow or for you to take advantage of the red light mats outside of the red light class. All the classes do a great job teaching you the yoga practice/philosophy that is being studied that week. I love that I get to escape the world and really work on my yogi mindset for 50 minutes each week. My favorite part is how the room is dark and you flow to candlelight. If you are considering coming here or unsure if this is for you, it's worth trying the unlimited and testing out different classes!
