I hope you all bring back the Kickstart program - the 8 week intensive training, workouts, coaching, and educational workshops really got me focused and help me reach my fitness goals.

UPDATE: Long overdue - I've attended several more classes at BYP and there's SO MUCH to like…read more STEFANI is hard to beat. I can't count the number of times she's made an adjustment that made me think, "so THIS is how the pose is supposed to be. NOW I can feel it! Why didn't anyone tell me?! " I mentioned Stefani in the previous review, but she gets another bump here because she's the gold standard. Go Stefani. In addition to Stefani's VERY well designed, super relaxing, exploratory FUN classes... LIZ runs a bad-ass, high-energy session with copious good vibes. You'll have a smile on your face the whole time and I don't think I've made it through a class yet without a spontaneous round of laughter in the first five minutes. The ambition and inventiveness of the studio is totally thanks to Liz's big ideas and it shows in her classes. She'll often put the class in a new pose and then deliver some incredible description/metaphor for visualizing exactly what your body should be doing. A favorite recent example: how should the leg sink into the hip socket in a certain pose? Like a you're crushing garlic in your hip socket. No amount of physical adjustment could get you there - but picture it like crushing garlic and you know exactly what to do. It's what takes you from "getting into the pose" to "getting the pose." Do not miss. Liz rocks her yoga from the inside out! NEELY runs the hypno-yoga class and the yoga is every bit as cool as the hypno. Neely clearly loved the yoga first - then made the hypnosis connection - no gimmicks here. You'll get an amazing class, THEN you'll get the out-of-body hypno mojo which is really pretty amazing. The hypnosis starts in Shavasana - Neely asks if there is anything you'd like to dedicate yourself to improving and she weaves your request into the hypnosis script. Very thoughtful. Very cool. My experience: at first she spoke pleasantly and clearly and I heard it and considered the words and thought "okay, this must be hypnosis." Then I "hear" her talking and can parse out what she was saying but really I'm just repeating the words to myself silently without a lot of internal chatter. I'm still aware, but pleasantly relaxed. Then I'm *aware* that she's speaking but the words don't especially register and I become aware of a very bright light. Nevermind that I'm in a studio with the lights dimmed. Nevermind that there are eye pillow beanbags over my eyes. I can STILL see the light and it's a color I've never seen before. What?! And I can remember thinking, "yep, something is *definitely* happening." And then Shavasana ends and you "wake" feeling profoundly serene, clear-headed and ready to take on the world. I have got to try this again! I'm most excited that there are still classes I haven't tried. To those who have never tried this amazing studio - you've got a LOT to look forward to!

Ambiance: I usually don't care what a yoga studio looks like, BUT I LOVE how clean, airy, tranquil…read morethis studio is. Plus, the instructors are really good at adjusting the temperature of the studio so it's never too hot. I also like the side mirror so I can see if I need to adjust my body. Every instructor is different, but are aware of environmental factors (i.e incense, candles, lighting, etc.) I didn't think a workout studio could feel homey, but this studio does. Note: I REALLY like the instructors and the classes I've taken so far. I've taken lots of yoga and pilates classes at numerous places too. The only reason why I didn't rate it a 5 is because of the cost of the classes. It's cheaper to buy a monthly package, but it's still a bit expensive for me to do it on an ongoing basis. However, this place is REALLY GOOD to go to if you want more 1:1 attention as the classes are small. I've even gone at times when I was the only person in class. Perhaps the studio is having a hard time advertising its classes and that's why the classes are small. I hope it doesn't close down because of that. Classes: 1. Zumba- I love dancing and a good cardio workout. This was such a fun class and the instructors really try to give you the just right challenge in terms of how much choreograph to throw at you or when to repeat something until you get it. I really liked the ZUMBA music. 2. NIA- I tried this class out of curiosity. It's a combination of dance, martial arts, and performing arts. It reminded me of some of acting classes that I've attended in the past. It encourages you to physically free yourself. It was fun to try 1x, but I think I like the other classes more. 3. Yoga- I really like Decompress classes with Gina. I like that it can be physically challenging and promotes flexibility, but it was still relaxing from beginning to end. A great way to end the workweek.

It's 1-1/2 hours and suited just perfectly to my lazy ass, since you spend a good amount of time meditating or laying on the ground LOL. The Holistic class does have some great asanas so you get a workout but the best part was the chanting and meditation. Nicole is knowledgeable and funny too. Plus she has a mini-harmonium so she gives you a great drone to chant to. Nothing like real sound vibrations from a real instrument, as I always say!

It turns out there are lots of very subtle things that go on in the core that can great impact your ranges of motion as well as the efficiency of your movements. Despite all the subtleties of the core, Cara cues excellently such that I was able to understand exactly what she wanted me to engage. Just after one session, I feel a lot taller, my hips and lower back are more relaxed while at the same time engaged properly, and definitely more connected with my core center!

She doesn't "take" the class but rather gives us minute details of how to safely and properly execute a pose, often demonstrates it and then walks around giving everyone personal attention. When she adjusts my postures, I have an understanding in my body of what I am doing for the first time. She explains the principles. Because of Danielle's patience, positive encouragement, support and master teaching I have been able to accomplish things I never dreamt possible. Danielle also bring a spiritual aspect to our practice as we begin each class with a chant that connects us to each other and spirit. At 61 years old I have just experienced my first head stand, full wheel and "bucket list" handstand. I feel so blessed to work with this amazing teacher.

When I would bring up that I was there for psychology treatment and wanted to work through a couple of issues, she would ask me a lot of questions that seemed to be out of her curiosity of details without insights or, what she had described somatic therapy was, becoming present and the relationship between the body/mind. She won't bill insurance and said she would provide me with receipts that I could submit to insurance. She only did after nudging, and then emailed me one without a diagnosis code, which insurance companies won't process. When I asked her about it, she said that she knew this was the case, but she wanted to touch base with me about the diagnosis code. Then, she left out the "chronic pain" diagnosis that we discussed that I had checked my insurance company would cover for her services. I asked her about this, and she was really rude in her response. It took 3 weeks to get the first receipt even though we had discussed before the first session that she would get it to me immediately so I could see how much my insurance company would cover. Quote from an email she sent me: "I did send you an invoice last week and have revised it for proper submission. Please find it enclosed here. Any other issues that you have regarding reimbursement must be taken up directly with your provider."
