They offer a diverse and ecceletic array of yoga and movement classes, delicious body work offerings, and special workshops and events from sound baths to estactic dance to prenatal movement. This is a studio that centers community, and it shows. This is a studio that centers joy, and one feels it. Let's start first with yoga. For at its heart, Blossom is a yoga studio. Set in a gorgeous brick building near the Winooski river in downtown Montpelier, the main yoga studio is infused with light, pulsating with positive vibrations, and enveloped with warmth from the warm wood floors to the translucent window curtains. It is spacious and grounding. There are plenty of mats, blankets, and yoga props to use, a changing space with clothing to borrow, a lending library, and easy online booking. Blossom is committed to ensuring that its classes are accessible; as such, sliding scale prices for classes and passes are offered, they offer a discount to seniors, teachers, and farmers, and no one is turned away. Visitors and new clients can pay only $35 for two weeks of unlimited drop-in classes. The yoga teachers are world-class, and the studio offers an array of classes, from vigorous ashtanga to restorative yoga. Their monthly Friday night restorative yoga + massages class is especially extraordinary and nurturing. I've had classes with Joanie, Anjali, Hope, and Devon. They each offer something different and special. Again, we would be lucky in a town of Montpelier's size to have access to just one of these talented and gifted teachers. To have all of them in one place is something I do not take for granted. We are so fortunate indeed. The gifted practioners at Blossom are transformational in their teachings and massage. Many of these teachers are also skilled bodywork practioners. The treatment rooms at Blossom echo the solid bones of the yoga studio - you'll be enveloped by warmth, light, soft textures, greenery, and peace. The menu of treatments is rich with the kind of services one would find at a much bigger wellness center. I've received at least half a dozen massages from Blossom, and I am left astounded every time by the body of knowledge and compassionate skill every practioner brings to their work. The generosity of the owner and practioners, who give back to their community in so many ways, ensures that the flow of karma is strong, committed, authentic, and joyful. Blossom Wellness Center is a treaure box to discover. I've been to many studios in cities and places much bigger than Montpelier, and Blossom is unmatched. I am so very grateful to be a part of this community, and can't recommend them highly enough for locals and visitors. ~~Let go so that you can receive ~~

After just one Rolfing session, my knee felt noticeably better and my whole body felt lighter throughout the day. What stood out most was how thorough and thoughtful Eric was. It wasn't just hands-on work--he also took the time to explain how my body was moving, showed me how to breathe into my ribs to create better mobility, and gave simple, practical tips for sitting, standing, and walking with better alignment. I left feeling both better physically and more aware of how to support my body moving forward. Looking forward to continuing sessions and would definitely recommend Eric to anyone dealing with similar issues.

The use of thumb and palm pressure , stretching and rotating of the joints, body rocking and tapping all aid in the opening of meridians. This allows the energy to flow through the body smoothly.

They offered me a cup of tea while I was waiting, which I appreciated. While the stylist was very pleasant and the hair cut wasn't bad (and not much more expensive than a chain like Supercuts), the bangs were uneven and not as I requested. I went home and trimmed them more to my liking, as it was clear that the stylist wasn't much of a perfectionist and I was nervous about them becoming too short. Overall, I was impressed by the presentation and vibe of the salon, but the haircut was underwhelming.
