SWEAT Power Yoga is a welcoming and inspiring family of yogis who lift one another up and promote…read moreself-love, healing, and growth. As a lover of Bikram yoga (the 26 poses, the extreme heat, and the intensity), I was originally skeptical that I would like a more flowy, vibey style of yoga in a less heated environment. But, I went anyway, and I was nothing but thrilled to find a community of strong, encouraging [mostly] women. I have found my time at SWEAT to be energizing and rejuvenating. I lean on my practice to center and calm me. During COVID-19, it has been stressful not feeling fully in control of my routine. While we're all stuck at home, exercise seems pretty difficult--especially if going to a heated studio is your jam! Though SWEAT was initially closed at the outset of the pandemic (as they should be!), they found ways for us to practice safely remotely/digitally through online streaming classes. Then, they transitioned to outdoor practice in a park. Finally, the added in-studio pod/group programming with social distancing (and mask use and specific procedures in the lobby). I have been impressed with how the SWEAT team has adjusted to pandemic life. And I've always been impressed with their use of technology (they have the MindBody app, so you can buy class packs and schedule classes online or from the MindBody mobile app). I recently tried the Roll and Flow program (with Krystal) and the Weighted Flow program (with Susan)--both were excellent. Roll and Flow is all about using tiny balls to roll stress points in your body (there are scientific words involved... I don't know them... something about myofascial release...). It was quite relaxing and helpful! I definitely felt the release of muscle tension. Weighted Flow is all about using ~1 pound weighted balls throughout the yoga flow--you'd be surprised at how much two seemingly lightweight balls can buff you up in a couple weeks! It was a true workout in the best of ways. Next, I can't finish this review without mentioning the holiday sessions. Thanksgiving session was, by far, one of the best parts of my year last year. If I recall, it was a 90-minute session (right?! I love those... if it wasn't, it just felt like it!)--it featured Susan's epic rock playlist, Bon Jovi and all. And it had this togetherness feeling, all about being a part of a community, and getting somewhere with a shared sense of power. It energized me for the months to come, and I look back at that moment--and the empowerment that I felt that day--as encouragement sometimes. I was SO looking forward to this year's Thanksgiving session, but COVID is taking it away for now. Nevertheless, when we're back to normal, I can't wait for more of these special holiday programs. There aren't many other things I'd rather be doing than replenishing my soul with the inspiring words of the SWEAT instructors. On that note, it's apropos to mention that all of the instructors are fabulous, and they each have their own style. Krystal is uplifting with the meditations she brings to the practice--she makes you feel thoughtful in what you're doing. Susan is like a badass mom who makes you feel like a rockstar. Nicole is quirky and always brings light and joy to the room--she is great at pointing out the physicality of the work... what muscles, what sensations. Ben is helpful and all about betterment--he's a champ at suggesting adjustments and ways to deepen a pose. I couldn't recommend the SWEAT studio enough. Great crew, great vibe, great space!

The first class I took at Heartsong was with Beth, who is also the owner's mom. There's something about her that especially fill my heart so I seek out her classes. She's my East Coast teacher. In the four years I've been studying at Heartsong, I have also loved Sheila's classes (Ashtanga and Kripalu). Last week I had a blast in Steve's TGI Friday Flow. I love my life in the Bay Area--the only thing that would make it more perfect were if I could go to Heartsong all the time. Keep up the great work, Heartsong family!

Plenty of TV's with headphone plug-ins at the machine. Circuit machines: Again, pretty standard, in good shape (not sure why some say they are falling apart, I use them regularly and they work great). Free-weight room: Have to agree, stuck in a "smaller" downstairs room. With more than 5 people it gets a little crowded. Would like to see improvement here. Classes: I LOVE the classes (Group Power, Core, and Interval). But the times are tough. Often during the work day. This is great for many, but they NEED more classes after work (530 and later). I'm sorry, I can't do the 515AM classes. But the classes themselves are great! HealthTrax is expensive. But I've found the trainers to be attentive. The support staff is friendly. Overall it's one of the better options in my immediate area (don't get me started on Planet Fitness in Enfield).
