I originally came to Chris Shelton as a client after struggling with digestive issues and feeling…read morefrustrated after years of appointments with medical doctors that didn't address the deeper issue. Chris took the time to truly listen and helped me uncover the root cause of my symptoms in a way no one else had. What started as personal healing naturally led me into his Level 1 and Level 2 Qigong Teacher Training programs. These teachings have supported my health on every level and have given me tools I now share with others around the world. I've since had the opportunity to teach Qigong within my local community in St. Barth, as well as during wellness retreats in Costa Rica, Bali, Malaysia, and throughout the U.S. Chris's work is thoughtful, embodied, and deeply effective. This training is a powerful experience for anyone seeking both personal healing and the ability to support others in a meaningful way.

My Life-Changing Healing Experience with Chris Shelton:…read more I cannot say enough good things about Chris Shelton and his incredible healing work. I first came to Chris after struggling with pain and lingering health issues related to autoimmune disorders that developed during my pregnancy. I had tried so many different approaches before finding him, and nothing seemed to truly get to the root of what was going on -- until I began working with Chris. Through his combination of Qi Gong, acupuncture, Gua Sha, muscle work, Chinese herbs, and emotional healing, Chris helped me reconnect with my body and start to heal on a deep level. His approach is not just physical -- it's holistic. He looks at how your emotions, stress, and energy affect your health, and he tailors each session to exactly what you need that day. Over time, I noticed my pain decreasing, my energy returning, and my overall well-being improving in ways I didn't think were possible. Chris has a calm, intuitive presence and an incredible understanding of how the body and mind are connected. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and is passionate about helping people heal. If you're dealing with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, or just feel out of balance, I highly recommend seeing Chris Shelton. He has genuinely changed my life, and I'm so grateful to have found him.

So a few years ago I was going through physical therapy for arthritis in my neck, shoulders, knees…read moreand ankles. I was invited to "try" yoga and core strength classes taught by Charleen. I resisted, saying that I wouldn't be able to do any of the things that are necessary for yoga and core strength but went along with a friend anyway. I told Charleen right away that I was limited in my mobility and strength and she assured me it was no problem! "Modification is key" she always says. Well long story short, within 3 months I ditched physical therapy and found real pain relief and increased mobility through the training and guidance and reassurance of Charleen. She is literally THE BEST. Not only is she trained in physical strengthening, yoga, meditation and relaxation techniques but also nutrition, herbal supplements and overall wellness. Charleen never once made me feel intimidated, underachieving or uncomfortable. I never ever thought I would look forward to exercise but with Charleen it feels like a treat rather than a chore. Thank you, Charleen!

Ashwin's studio has served as an incredible source of healing and wisdom for me over the past year…read more(and still now). He has not only taught me how to identify the causes of my imbalance and pain, but also how to move forward and heal myself physically and emotionally. I've come to rediscover my spiritual rhythm, and have not looked back since. Here, I've gotten more in tune with my body and mind through the yoga classes (posture + meditation), gained more knowledge on the vast and ancient science of "how to live" (ayurveda), and improved my quality of life through proper nutrition and yoga practices. This studio is a safe haven for all those who seek a little something more to life. It's also a supportive space with an amazing doctor and a vibrant community. Come if this resonates with you, because you are always welcomed.

The Center is helpful with philosophy for emotional & mental healing, & Ayurvedic remedies…read more However, the second time I went to get a consultation, I've noticed Ashwin's mental health took a turn, for example: he repeatedly shouted at me that he, "Can't help losers," until I was crying. I also asked for a price for herbs, which he replied with the price. I sent him the money, then he said me he would not send me the herbs, as I don't need it. I was so confused. I asked for a refund, but got no reply for days. I told him I'll use that towards yoga classes, then, since he wouldn't respond. He also told me he would call me often for support as part of a consultation package that I paid for, but he would rarely answer my texts or calls, as it seemed, he was trying to take on as many clients as he could. I also heard him speaking about struggles in my life to a yoga class, in a gossiping manor, where he was making fun of me & laughing. He also did not mention that students would be shadowing him, so when I had my initial consultation on Zoom, and I kept noticing his eyes go somewhere, I figured it out on my own, and then he revealed it towards the end of the zoom. That should definitely be revealed before any consultation is taking place. Overall, I did get help for some things I needed, but there was a lot of horrible communication & customer service.

A good friend recommended Tania for reiki and yoga and I am so glad I found her! I felt the benefits of reiki immediately and now see her regularly. Her hands are magic! I sleep really well and feel happier days following my treatments. I also went to her for help with regulating my periods and she got me on track the next day. (Don't ask me how she did it, I am still wondering how it all works!) When I have time, I schedule a private yoga session and reiki together because I feel that is the ultimate self care session for relaxation.

I recently had a baby and was in so much pain from getting adjusted to breastfeeding. I had bruises…read moreand cuts and dreaded every time my baby wanted to eat. I was looking for anything that might help and that's where Tania and her amazing reiki skills came to my rescue. She did distant reiki on me since I live in NY, she told me to be open to receiving the energy and that was about it. I was skeptical but desperate and then truly amazed by how much better I felt the next day. I could suddenly feed without being in agonizing pain, I finally felt some relief! A few days after the first session, she asked me if I was having headaches....because she felt it during reiki, I was having bad headaches but never mentioned it b/c I had bigger issues and guess what? They went away a day after my first session! I was now officially on board. She did in person reiki on my baby at another time because he was having some bathroom issues, literally 45 minutes later he had a blow out! I will definitely continue going to Tania with any issues that come up! She's very dedicated to helping using the power of reiki.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, and I have full trust in her approach. She's helped me get stronger, improve my flexibility, achieve goals, and heal from multiple injuries. And she teaches with incredible attention to detail. Other places and programs had been less careful and I'd sometimes leave a workout with a pulled muscle. Not only would that never happen with Sara, but she's also great at guiding you through rehabilitation. No one is more precise and pleasant at the same time. Can't recommend enough!!

Where do I even begin? I'm so incredibly grateful that Arsine was recommended to me…read more I started training with her when I was about six months postpartum. At the time, I was intimidated, overwhelmed, and honestly had no idea what I was doing. I had never really learned how to lift weights properly, perform exercises with correct form, or stick to a consistent workout routine without feeling anxious. Fast forward to today, at 10 months postpartum, and I'm stronger than I was before I had my daughter. Even more surprising--I genuinely love my workouts now. Arsine is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain not only what you're doing, but why you're doing it. She teaches you how to position your body correctly so you can perform every exercise safely and effectively. She truly wants you to understand your body, not just follow instructions. One of the biggest blessings has been my core recovery. I never imagined it could heal this well, and I owe so much of that to Arsine's patience, expertise, and encouragement. She's so much more than a personal trainer. She genuinely cares about her clients and celebrates every milestone with you. If you're postpartum or simply looking to begin your fitness journey, I truly can't recommend her enough. No exaggeration--stop looking. Arsine is the one.

She is very knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. She takes the time to understand your lifestyle and creates a personalized plan that works for you. Another thing I truly appreciate is the energy she brings to every session. She is positive, encouraging, and motivating, which makes every workout enjoyable and something I look forward to. I am so happy with my results, and training with Arsine was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My program included weight loss, strength training, and body sculpting, and I became stronger, healthier, and more confident. I couldn't be happier with my progress. Overall, I had an amazing experience and highly recommend Arsine. Whether you take one class or continue training with her, you'll be glad you did.

This review is so long overdue. I've been taking classes with Zonnie for over a year now, and I…read morecannot recommend her enough. I started Pilates with Zonnie after a back injury flared up. Working with Zonnie has built up my core and strength overall. I'm more toned and have lost weight. But what I really need to recommend is working with Zonnie herself. She adapts each lesson to how my mind and my body are feeling that day. She has helped me focus or be Zen when I come in frazzled or will accommodate on days when I'm just plain tired. Zonnie's Pilates knowledge is expert, and she is warm, funny and fun to work with. She's the best!

It is astonishing at how much improvement I have had and how quick it was…read more I had some old and newer injuries that affected balance, movement, walking, knee pain, lower back, hip, etc. It wasn't just that Zonnie knew the exercises that were correct, she knew exactly how to do them, what exact position, and what muscles to activate. She is keenly present from moment to moment observing, correcting, and controlling, and is a very competent, pleasant, and calming presence. Then there is a different way of breathing, standing, balancing, and operating one's body in day-to-day life, the training along with the exercises to activate the appropriate muscles. The improvement in my balance is huge, I was frequently tripping or bumping into things - no more. I love to stand up paddleboard, now my balance has improved so that I can paddle on rougher ocean water. I like hiking again - it had become tiring due to injuries. There are side benefits associated with the core exercises and breathing technique that has improved certain common difficulties associated with males of a certain age. Better sleep etc. My knee, lower back and hip pain seem to be in the past as well. It's a lot more fun to do the day-to-day stuff.
