To be honest I was not really expecting to be a customer, but my wife convinced me otherwise during their opening week. Revolution offered up free classes for most of their first week, in a great way to create some buzz - we attended a couple of these, and I must say I am very impressed! I have never really been interested in yoga - nor did I understand it at all. Our classes were led by Gwen, who emphasized there that you "can't do anything wrong" in her classes, which was a relief for someone like myself. Fortunately I wasn't the only beginner - but it is clear that there is a strong local interest with some very experienced yoga-ers - which looks great for Revolution. No one makes you feel bad about taking a break, and Gwen was very helpful if you got mixed up while setting up a position (by you, I mean ME). The facilities are very nice - brand new, with a retail side and a studio side. The retail area is a little empty at the moment, but they will be building it out soon. The studio is great - well equipped with mats, straps and blocks. My mind was constantly racing trying to figure out the right positions - but in the end you will come out as relaxed as can be. The classes emphasize that. So from a complete beginner who knows nothing about yoga, I think its a great place, and a fantastic addition to the town. They offer many options in classes and class times - and the staff is all very friendly.

Once again, I started the day groggy and stiff from a weekend of yard work, and Ann targeted…read moreexactly the areas I needed help with. From the start of class, lying on my back and doing an extended Monkey Twist, I already felt relief from the stiffness in my back and legs. I could have stopped there and been thrilled with the class. After a series of exercises for core strengthening, stretching, and building balance, I feel like a brand new person. Ann has a talent for spotting tiny differences in the positions of each person in the class and giving us just the advice we need to improve our performance. And she somehow does this over Zoom so I don't even have to leave the comfort of my home during my 7:30 am class. I have had other instructors for yoga, pilates, and even some martial arts, and found all of them good, but Ann has some kind of talent for giving me exactly the pointer I need to feel that much better. Now I'm ready to go out and keep doing the tiny things throughout my day that will keep me in shape for next week's class!

It's…read morelike getting a happy juice workout by going to a dance class, but you don't have to learn a complicated routine (like in a zumba classes) or listen to obnoxious dirty music (like zumba class). The yoga classes are terrific, there is even live music on the Sunday morning class occaisionally, but, really, I'm sure not that many yelpers out there have heard of NIA, but this studio has got to be one of the best NIA studios with the best NIA classes in the country, and many teachers around the Boston area TAKE CLASSES here, where have you ever heard of that? If you have any excuse to hang out on Route 2, like on your way to apple picking or Concord touristy sites, start your weekend morning w/ a NIA class here, and you will be happy happy the rest of the day! Secret #2-- sometimes there are really beautiful veggies and natural foods like honey being sold in their waiting lounge area from the Skinner Ranch, a farm in Groton- I have bought greens and tomatoes in season after class.

Classes run about $17/walk-in, and you can buy packaged deals which brings the cost down a bit. My one complaint would be the parking and the signage- it is difficult to find the studio your 1st time! Overall, great studio with good instructors. I'm happy it's in my area!

Yoga is fundamentally important to me - as an older person I feel it has kept me feeling healthy and energetic.

She is certified in Kripalu and Ashtanga, but draws in other styles throughout the class. No class is the same, so you are never bored.

She makes herself available before and after class to answer any questions, or even to discuss the benefits of a pose.
