Wether it be your first class…read moreor 100th, you'll find that this down to earth studio will empower you to really connect to yourself as well as the multitude of aspects of yoga. I've felt intimidated going to other studios but Brianne has created such an inviting and supportive environment to practice in, that I truly feel renewed and uplifted by the time I leave. There is a class for absolutely every level here, from gentle for people with chronic injuries, to advanced freestyle that will push you to your limits, but no matter what class you are in you will never feel put down for doing what you are comfortable with. In addition to the yoga classes there is occasionally Kirtan or live music during a class, which is a whole other experience in of itself, and such an amazing opportunity to meet musicians who travel the world! I highly recommend stopping into Bhogah Yoga at least once if your considering it, and it'll leave you wanting to come back an become a part of the yogi community!

The space inside is welcoming. I find the concerts very relaxing. The word concert doesn't really fit. More like a group sound meditation. The sounds help the 90 minutes go by very quickly, and it is long enough to help your mind settle down. Every time I go, I find myself saying I should go more often.

My first experience was eye opening! The musicians played the instruments so beautifully as I escaped into my own state of meditation. It was absolutely incredible. I live an hour away and will forever continue to come here. Each musician makes it a new experience. The staff is incredible and so welcoming. I preach these sound meditations to my friends (some of which have joined me!). My meditation practices have expanded and my life has been a lot more peaceful because of it. I promise- it's an experience you will cherish!

I've heard about Dayna's unique massage methods from some of my friends so I decided to give a chance, nothing was helping anyway. The massage was approximately 45 minutes long, during which Dayna had used SuVeda Myaxyl oil and Ksheerabala oil. I was so surprised that what multiple methods of treatment couldn't solve, a more holistic approach is what made the difference! I felt like a brand new person, my back pain was gone and I couldn't be more thankful. Definitely a 5* for me!

Every part of me was treated when given the massage, and after I'm sure I fell asleep because I was so relaxed. I left feeling blissed out and planned for a next appointment. Dayna is an amazing, and kind person that took the time to get to know me and made me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend her face pack (loooooove), oils, exfoliating scrub, and of course massage. Another plus is that you know what ingredients are used in her products, and know that they are all made with love. Thank you Dayna :)

I strongly suggest anyone who is looking for a yoga class to try Liz Hall Yoga.

I researched Yoga classes in my area with a few criteria in mind: convenient location and times, experienced, knowledgeable instructor, comfortable atmosphere, encouragement but no pressure. I called Liz and immediately felt comfortable enough to try her class. Of course I was nervous at my first class. I spoke to a few others and asked about the class. Everyone was positive with comments like "Liz is wonderful, She'll encourage you to push yourself with no pressure, I've been coming to this class for years, etc." I've now been attending yoga class twice weekly for about two months now and I love it! I can feel my strength and flexibility improving and Liz tells me with time I might even flatten my belly. Everyone is friendly, yet the class is a good size with opportunity for individualized help as needed. The payment procedure is convenient and reasonable. Liz is amazing, always encouraging as she varies the class weekly so it always feels fresh and new. It's a great class! So, if you are interested in Yoga, give it a try.

Root Yoga Studio (formerly of Old Lyme) has recently reopened its doors in the old E.E.Dickinson…read morefactory in Centerbrook (right next to the Essex Steam Train). Lucky for us and anyone who's been apprehensive to attempt a yoga class due to physical limitations - back issues or otherwise, owner Mimi Brainard has brought a game-changing tradition to the shoreline. In this fresh and lofty space, she's installed a wall of ropes and slings to provide a safe and creative way to practice fully supported classical poses with countless modifications. Don't let the ropes fool you - in no way do they suggest aerial or acrobatic yoga. After extensive training in Backcare and Herniation with the best in this discipline, Alison West (at Yoga Union & Yoga Union Back Care and Scoliosis Center in NYC), Mimi is armed with tools of the highest standards to build confidence and help with stability in a practice that may seem to some only for the young, uninjured and agile. The Ropes Wall classes include: Basic Backcare is appropriate for All Levels and for anyone seeking an understanding of their back or relief of back pain. Yoga for Herniations + Posture Basics is for All Levels especially if you have herniations and disc issues, seeking relief and understanding of the habitual patterns that cause your herniations and back pain. Posture and Alignment is an All Levels class suitable for those seeking an understanding of their back and how to work more deeply in their practice with alignment at the wall, with clarity, precision, and freedom. But Root Yoga Studio does not stop there. They still offer some of our all-time top favorite classes like Liza Dousson's expert Yin teachings deeply rooted in Chinese tradition, Grace Osara's tried, true, and soothing Kripalu sessions as well as Kundalini, meditation, Pranayama classes and more. Mimi continues to teach her signature Root Flow classes where alignment is paramount, but prepare to break a sweat during a flow of linked postures and expect to spend a little time at the ropes wall, too. Contact Mimi to reserve your free session and to discuss your personal needs prior to attending class. By Laura Williams
