I'm stronger and more aware of my body in space. Exercises are challenging with stretches built in. All the teachers are great, but I often find myself in classes taught by Heather, Sophie, and Samantha. I would suggest Core to anyone wanting to try something new or deepen their relationship to their body.

Core is a small, very welcoming studio and can accomodate levels of practice from beginners to more advanced practice. I have been helped immeasurably to recover from more than one surgery. Personal limitations are taken into account and modifications are always available if needed. This is a very respectful atmosphere which helps to inspire continued participation.

I've worked with 3 different instructors and they are all just as accommodating. Can't say enough good about this studio. I've been taking classes for 4+ years. Best decision I've ever made. I had back surgery for a herniated disc 12 years ago. I've done PT countless times since. And then I started pilates. My back will never be perfect but this is the best it's been since before surgery. Rachel, and all instructors, address everyone's needs/limitations. And then covid. Rachel quickly figured out how to instruct via zoom. I don't think we've missed a week. I highly recommend this studio!

Upon inquiring about classes at this studio I received a reply almost a month later and was asked…read moreif I had any pilates experience and told that they offer no classes at the intro level and that private sessions are available. Their website says that "we approach teaching holistically" and one of the Pilates class descriptions says in all caps "NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY." The message sent to me seems unwelcoming, kind of rude, elitist and expensive. Not to mention a contradiction. I'll find somewhere else to work on my fitness, thanks.

There are a few windows that let light in near the ceiling.

I checked out Yoga Sanctuary this past Sunday and had a pretty lovely experience over all. The…read moreSanctuary is a quaint little space located in the basement level of a church, Solomon's Porch. Enter the church and head immediately downstairs and you can't miss it. The teacher was wonderful and made the class a bit more personable by chatting with folks as they arrived and by providing a bit of her yoga story. They didn't have anything for people to use to indicate if they were open to adjustments/help, but the teacher asked before assisting anyone. Pricing: They have a great first class is free deal. Drop-ins are $16 and the monthly unlimited package is $76/pm. These prices are very good for Minneapolis! Parking: Street parking. This can get a little crowded on Sundays since the Yoga Sanctuary is located in a church. This is a five star review in general, but probably a four star review for me personally just because I prefer hot yoga and a parking lot.

I was worried that I was a bit "advanced" in my yoga practice for this class (even though it said all levels were welcome) due to the large quantity of props we all had to pull out of the closet. But it was fun to learn new things. By the end of class, I got a nice workout, relaxed, and felt thoroughly stretched out. I'll be back!
