This review is only about the "Gentle Yoga" classes at Hartford Sweat (because that is the only…read moreclass I've tried). These classes are the highlight of my week. I'm sure the class is supposed to be for people needing a good stretch for tired muscles but I use it as a 'self care' relaxation class. When I leave, I feel refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the week. The best part of the class is that Kristin (the usual instructor) starts every class by saying that if you just want to lay on the floor or stay in child's pose for the entire hour you can - and she means it. This truly is a no-judgement class where you can do as much or as little as you want based on what your body (or mind) is telling you to do. I can't say enough great things about the class - definitely give it a try.

This spot is so cute and very welcoming. Although it was prenatal yoga, it was easily modifiable and i had a great session. I appreciated the matts, blocks, blankets, pillows available for use. After this session, they offered little bouquets to us it was such a nice touch (it was mother's day)! The location of this studio is perfect, you can take a walk before or after through old wethersfield. My friend and I went for brunch at heirloom market after. There is ample parking here which I really appreciated for the busy area. My friend and I felt great afterwards and agreed we'd come back.

Offerings include rise n shine, yin, gentle, core, slow flow, vinyasa, healing circles, meditation and workshops. Sounds occasionally arise from the eatery below yet the focus, space and view outshine any slight distraction. Kristin's (the owner/chief yogini) teacher training (YTT200) incorporates anatomy along the way of the coursework with an optional YTT100 personal development program, only attending the first half. The latter is good for those looking to grow in the understanding of their practice without the commitment to a full six months, or with no inkling to teach. Kristin organizes yoga immersion trips annually. This year Peru and Bhutan. Next year Italy is back on the schedule. Check out a class, join a workshop or visit for Scott's healing circle, no yoga experience required. You will be even more grateful!

I've been to the West Hartford location of The Yoga Shop studios but this was my first time at this…read morelocation in Glastonbury and it was a step up from WeHa in my opinion. I believe this is one of the newer locations as well. The studio is gorgeous. Well decorated and they gave big windows that let in a lot of light. Their lobby area is spacious and has cubbies, changing rooms and bathrooms. They have complimentary tea and cookies that are delicious as well. I took the LivFree power UP class on Saturday morning. It's one of the longer classes at 90 minutes but the last 30 minutes of class ended up being more stretching/cool down. It's your typical vinyasa type yoga flows in a heated room. What I liked about this location over West Hartford was that the space didn't feel crowded at all. The room was really big and even though there were probably around 30 people in class, we all had more than enough room. All in all, a good yoga studio with some classic yoga classes. Definitely worth a try. And your first visit to any Yoga Shop location is free! Note: this location doesn't have a drinking fountain so you'll either need to bring your own water, get it from the tap or buy some.

Practicing in this studio feels like more of a privilege than a workout. But don't be misled; these classes are no joke. As an avid practicer of yoga, I leave each class dripping wet and feeling as though I truly worked every fiber of my body. Heads up: These classes are not for the faint of heart. Though I have brought beginners as guests, they have all found it to be too warm and too difficult. For me, however, this studio is perfection. The teachers are supportive and welcoming and all are masters of their craft. The owners, Annie and Kim, have built a wonderful, luxurious business and welcome all who enter. To top it off, as an educator, I was touched by their offer of unlimited classes for teachers this past summer at a very reasonable price of $200.
