It was kind of like a trippy meditative kindergarten naptime. Every other class I've taken--Hatha, Hatha Flow, and Yin--has been just the right amount of challenging but also mellow and kind. The space is inviting, they have student discounts, and there are quite a few classes offered. The downtown location is convenient. The teachers know what they're doing. What a pleasant place.

Best yoga studio in Roanoke. I've been a 3yr devotee. Highly recommend Jill's classes. She…read morechallenges you spiritually and physically. The studio is vinyasa/hatha based with some heated classes (warm like 80s, no hot to the 90s or 100s). I love this studio and particularly Jill's classes because of the smart sequencing to music and peak poses. Most of the time I feel like I'm almost dancing fluidly through the asanas! The instructors (particularly Jill, Steve, Sarah, Kimberley and Wendi) challenge you to inversions, arm balances and binds. The studio definitely has a cult following and this is evident if you go to the Saturday 930am class!

I was introduced to Pilates many years ago but just recently started taking classes more seriously. Rachel will start you out privately to get to know your body and movements and then you can move into classes (no more than 2 other people). Rachel is so patient and attentive, that cannot be matched at the big box Pilates studios. If you've wanted to try Pilates, give Rachel a call! Your body will thank you!

I've been going to Pilates at Energy Within twice a week for over a year, and I love it! Rachel,…read morethe owner and instructor, is amazing. She's been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and has a tremendous amount of knowledge. Because of her vast knowledge, she is able to address any specific needs and physical limitations you have as an individual. She really cares that people learn how to do Pilates right. The correct form is very important to her. She keeps her classes small enabling her to give everyone individualized attention. She has several classes throughout the day so if you miss your scheduled class it's easy to make it up. Every class is fun, and I've met so many great people in her classes. I highly recommend Energy Within...I wouldn't go anywhere else!!
