We were outside on a nice spring morning. Just the right amount of breezes. Yoga was new to me, but the meditation is something I'm familiar with. Everyone seemed welcoming and I didn't feel out of place although I really did not know what I was doing when it came to the Yoga poses. The Violin piece definitely helped me to relax. The farm is beautiful and it was my first time on a farm. I enjoyed the tasty complimentary mock-tails at the end. I definitely left with a clear mind and fully rejuvenated. I slept much better that night.

During this pandemic I was searching for zoom yoga classes and I found a great place. I've been…read moreattending virtually for six weeks now. Zen Yoga offers a variety of classes and excellent instructors. One of my many favorites is Renee Baker's Yoga Basics. The name sounds like it is a class for beginners but actually it is an opportunity to improve and make your practice more interesting and challenging. Each Basics class focuses on a different part of the body; i.e. feet, knees, etc. I had been doing a pose that never really felt exactly right. Renee gave me a tip that aligned my hips, was great in explaining how to get in and out of the pose, and suddenly everthing clicked into place. I keep thinking "If only I had known that sooner."

If you've never incorporated regular meditation into your yoga, start now - as it is one of the original 8 limbs. RE: owner Andrea - despite my being from out of town, she was warm, friendly, frank, helpful - and very knowledgeable of yoga, anatomy, health. I felt safe entrusting myself, my body into her sequencing. I'm no expert on Yin Yoga, but what I experienced was true to the style of Sarah Powers. I don't think it's a coincidence. Look carefully at the photos in the back of the studio and you'll find one of Sarah and Andrea (!) My ostensible reason for visiting was her David Williams workshop. The workshop ran for four days at a price I could afford. Although the other participants expressed shock and surprise I traveled so far, truth is - what I did wasn't even half so radical as David traveling to India to learn from Patabhi Jois, lol. I'm impressed and eternally grateful that a urban boutique size studio would host a teacher of this caliber. The gathering was intimate - not like those huge, impersonal yoga fests that go off like a rock music concert. The workshop was reasonably priced, the studio has ample parking and the general vibe is clean, well supplied with props, teas, water and goodies were available just like an olde time 70s yoga get together. I had so much fun at the workshop I decided to stay and take a couple of classes from Andrea herself and I was not disappointed. Here's the thing, in order to totally transform you have to let go. Letting go is scary, so you better trust the person you are dropping down to catch you. you can take that literally or metaphorically, take your pick. Alls I'm saying is, here I felt free to go. :)

The studio is small and personal enough to ask questions and be actively involved in the practice (not just atomatons copying the instructor), but I have never felt over crowded. You are truely challenged, you will sweat (and it isn't even hot yoga), and you will not get sleepy. Another great option is you can pay by class instead of by time period. I can get a package of 6 or 10 classes that don't expire for 90 days! For the business traveler like myself that can't get thier money out of a monthly membership this is perfect. And did I say the yoga is amazing?
