My sister, who has been practicing yoga for well over 20 years, took a class with me and was really impressed with Amy's ability to guide all of her students through the poses. She said that she is one of the best instructors she has ever had. Amy doesn't just lead from the front of the room, she is fully engaged with each person in her class, making sure that we all get the most out of our time with her. I have only been taking the classes for a few months, but the difference in my body and my mind is substantial: I'm a lot less anxious, I'm gaining so much more flexibility and strength, I have more energy during the day and I am sleeping better at night. Thank you Amy!!

I'm surprised this old listing hasn't been claimed and updated. I've gone to this studio since they opened about 13 years ago. It's improved a lot, including opening the second location in Guilford. And name change after Petra bought it from OG. I appreciate that only the power classes are hot and that you can do regular flow in a reg temperature room. They tend towards more yin positions (ie slower but harder to hold asanas. Less likely to get injured in this method. They have morning and evening classes. I will speak with the owner about claiming this business!

I've tried it several times over the years, but have found it a bit too earnest and intentional for my easily-distractible mind and a little too challenging for my large-motor, hopelessly inflexible body. All that changed, however, after one session at Pradipika-which ironically means to illuminate or shed light on-Yoga. Diaphanously dressed Marcy led our Power Vinyasa class in the small, yummy smelling studio. Her pace was persistent, but allowed for ample time to make adjustments or suggestions for modifications in either direction of difficulty. At various times during the class she'd oh-so subtly and gently reposition me. And at the risk of sounding creepy let's just say, her magic touch almost made me want to strike the wrong pose. I also loved the overall vibe of her class; particularly the music which featured my personal favorite Aimee Mann. The owner, Jennifer Dahlgren offers a full complement of classes-including a series designed just for kids-for people at all levels of their practice. Classes: Everything from the basics to hot yoga Schedule: 3 - 5 classes a day Atmosphere: Light, clean and of course Zen. Price: Variety of passes and packages which range from $16 for a drop in to as low as $10 if you buy a group of 30. Extras: 15 minute meditation class on Sundays at 4:45 is free; donate a percentage of profits to Shoreline Soup Kitchens.

Since then I've taken classes with 4 different instructors so far and all have been friendly and helpful. They encourage you to be successful at your own level and strive for more, but there is no pushing and modifications are offered to accommodate different strengths and medical concerns. Aside from classes being varied and enjoyable, I love that the studio is spotless and welcoming with a small seating area and coffee bar for a chat after class. The bathroom facilities are equally clean and thought was even put into the tiniest details such a placing a small bowl of hair ties on the counter for those days when you forget or need an extra. Can't say enough good things about this studio and owner Audra.

They've got to have an…read moreinfectious energy that invites you to loosen up and get down, even if you're shy or believe yourself uncoordinated. Jessica Demers, owner of Body Karma in Clinton, definitely has that energy--she sings while she dances, she's encouraging, and she's clearly having a blast. Set to an upbeat soundtrack of pop, Latin tunes, Zumba tracks, and a healthy dose of holiday songs (I attended class just before Christmas), Jessica and I box-stepped, twirled, swayed, and cut a proverbial rug across the studio's wooden floor. What I loved most about her class was we didn't only dance--Jessica also incorporated strength-training intervals with hand weights and kettlebells to get our heart rate up and work our legs, glutes, abs, arms, and shoulders. By the end of the hour I was a sweaty mess, albeit a happy one--not only is Zumba one of the best exercises for cardio and coordination, it's also a great way to elevate your mood. Classes: Zumba, yoga, pilates. Schedule: Between 4 and 7 morning and evening classes Monday through Thursday, 3 morning classes on Friday and Saturday, and 2 morning classes on Sunday. Atmosphere: Quaint and homey, with new local art exhibited on the walls every three months. Price: $15 drop-in, 5 classes-$65, 10 classes-$110, 20 classes-$200. Extras: Private sessions, reiki, art receptions, kids classes, workshops, event and party bookings available.

Cute, unpretentious, convenient workout spot with yoga, Zumba, Pilates, and more…read more I love that Body Karma is conveniently located near the post office, breakfast joint, and my go to grocery store. I love their tech savy: they text, you sign your waver on an iPad, get an email receipt, they have phone charging stations in the cubbies. I love the unpretentious atmosphere with cute bright colors, local artists paintings for sale, and cute little mini lounge with bright pillows. Nice staff, nice teachers! Class: For me personally, the particular Yoga class I chose was too mellow and too spiritual. It was a Daoist form of Yoga which I have not experienced before, and there was a lot of focus on energy work, healing, and meridian lines. It was a very slow series of flowing movements. Although I tried to engage my muscles as much as possible in the poses, I never got to a point where my body felt warm. I tried to surrender to the class, maybe I need to relax! But, I'm totally OCD about symmetry and I kept drifting visually to all the textures and colors in the room, and found all the details too distracting. The room was on the colder side, and with the slow class I ended up feeling unpleasantly cold. Overall I suspect that this atmosphere with all the fun bright colors would be great during Zumba, or a more active training class, which they do offer. I'd also be more careful personally to understand that there are many different types of yoga, and understand exactly which kind of class I am attending! I'd try them again for a more active class

I did Bikram yoga for years and I had a feeling that it wasn't good for me. I'm hypermobile and prone to adrenal fatigue, but the instructors just kept pushing me through the strenuous poses and the heat. It was no surprise, really, when I I ended up with migraines and overstretch syndromes. Debi's style is a revelation. She pays attention to each and every student, and while her yoga definitely makes you feel like you've gotten a workout, it feels gentle and supportive instead of strenuous. She promotes the simplicity and inclusiveness of yoga culture, not the spandex and $300 yoga mat approach. Debi also offers Bach Flower Remedies. i think she's one on a only a handful of consultants in the state! I haven't found anyone else in her area. I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about Bach and Polarity Therapy, as well.

Very clean space with convenient restroom…read more I took a free class for New Year Day which perfectly coincided with my search for a new place to get healthy, and my husband has never tried Yoga! After filling out waivers we were given choice of loaner mats and props. Everything was clean and tidy. The group was very diverse in terms of having men, and people of various ages, body types and abilities. We were told this class would be focused more on energy and might not be indicative of a regular workout. The class lasted about an hour, with a very slow start and in general was a little subdued. Debi gave everyone individual energy work touch to start out and she also offers energy work as a service. The whole vibe and energy was a little on the serious side for me, and I don't believe in Reiki, I prefer less focus on chakras and a little more laughter! That being said I wonder if one of the "regular" workouts might be less touchy feely! :) Regardless of my personal spiritual slant, I'd highly recommend this place for the sheer beauty of looking at the water during practice! What a treat.
