The studio was easy to find, the woman at the check-in desk was efficient and friendly at getting us signed up, and she even let us borrow two yoga mats for free which was much appreciated as we were traveling without our usual personal mats. The studio upstairs was quite hot (unintentionally, I believe) but Alli kept everyone motivated and present despite the heat. The studio is sizable and pretty with lots of assistive props to borrow. Alli's flow was really dynamic and challenging. I also am a yoga teacher, and I found myself enjoying her class a lot! Would definitely come back if we are in the area again!

Many members have chosen to leave because of new unfriendly management practices and polices.

They offer limited hours (close at 5pm on Sundays), increased rates and less quality offerings (camps, tennis lessons), reduction of tennis courts from 12 to 5 is likely as a result of the many tennis players who have had enough and left or the contracts they require or perhaps the carnival tickets that are needed after scanning your card to hand to your tennis pro or fitness instructor.

However, I know I need yoga and had finally found an excellent studio in Central MA....and then moved to Gloucester.

The name scared me a bit but the price was outstanding; $10 a class...no really, it's $10 a class. AND they have classes at 5:30 in the morning which is perfect for me. I've been three times and cannot recommend it highly enough. The instructors are welcoming, encouraging, and their cues are outstanding. It appears there are all levels in the class from folks like me to folks who are obviously very advanced in their skills. And these veterans, unlike accomplished yogi in some studios, are focused on their own practices, and waste no time judging others. I love it here; I actually like going to yoga class.
