I highly recommend Debbie's pre-natal yoga classes as one of the best ways to prepare your body and…read moremind for labor and birth. The Yoga Whole studio offers a safe, quaint, and intimate setting which allowed me to connect with both mind and body (and baby!).and practice freely. As a newbie to yoga, I found Debbie's classes incredibly approachable as her classes are geared towards keeping a woman comfortable during pregnancy and providing her with a toolbox of comfort measures to turn to during labor and delivery. Like a true professional, she always stressed the importance of listening to your body and offered alternatives to poses when 1.) they were either too cumbersome for me (as I approached the end of pregnancy), 2.) I felt I could push my body a little further and try some more challenging positions. Her routines provided safe, practical exercises that always stressed the importance of bringing internal balance in the pregnant body as a way to bring about a more comfortable and easier birth. Debbie emits a calm, reassuring, and motherly presence; she is steady, cool and an excellent listener. Her goal is always to put moms and babies first and her holistic approach stresses the importance of honoring the mother's/family's wishes and preferences to bring forth a positive birthing experience. Her ultimate goal is to provide each and every woman with the tools and knowledge she needs to feel confident and capable during pregnancy and delivery. From an emotional standpoint, Debbie was very supportive of me in my VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) journey. I always felt she was in my corner and rooting for me to succeed. She constantly reminded me of my ability to birth my baby and was always happy to share input and resources (she has a collection of books, DVDs, etc. you can borrow from her studio as well). I'm happy to note I had an incredibly precipitous (fast), complication and intervention-free vaginal birth at the end of last year. I truly believe the combination of the physical/mental preparation Debbie's yoga classes provided me along with regular exercise and Webster technique chiropractic adjustments were the major contributors to my positive experience. I strongly believe the physical work as well as the emotional preparation I gleaned from her classes transformed my body/mind into the optimal vessel for a swift and uncomplicated delivery. I would adamantly encourage any and all pregnant women to reach out to Debbie about her pre-natal yoga and doula services

Jamie, the owner of the studio is extremely welcoming and helpful. From the moment you walk in to the studio, you're greeted with great energy and beautiful decor. I have been to a handful of classes so far, and continue to look forward to meeting the staff and trying new classes. This isn't your average studio, they offer a variation of yoga classes ranging from vinyasa to energy medicine yoga. There is no doubt about it that this is one of the greatest yoga studios that I have ever been to, and I'm so thankful that it is near my home. A few things: Current special for new students $30 for an entire month, sign up for classes on the app "Vagaro" Parking isn't completely ideal, especially during rush hour. There is a parking lot headed toward Dormont, on the right (between Cain's and Jamison's) Keep up the excellent work, I'm so excited to spread the word about your beautiful studio.

I have visited the Murrysville Center for Massage Therapy many times over the past several years…read more They moved to this location maybe in 2005/2006 or so, and I probably started visiting them right about that time. When I lived in the area I used to be a bit more of a frequent client, however since moving out of state, I usually only am now able to visit at the holidays and maybe in the summer. This is a great place for a massage. Within here, I tend to bounce around to different masseuses, and have been very satisfied with them all. They have been friendly, professional, and listened and then focused on the areas of my concern. I tend to like a lot of pressure during massages and have found that they are more than able to provide that for the duration of my appointment. The rooms are comfortable and relaxing with soft music or nature sounds playing in the background (like most places might have). I always head out of the room lighter and am greeted in the reception area with a glass of water by my masseuse providing me with 'after care' instructions like drinking fluids and resting, and once even some additional self-massage tips when I had a chronic back issue. Prices run pretty average for massages here. This is truly a studio focused on healing and wellness, and I am always happy to visit when back in town. As a fun note, they usually offer a small (but welcome) discount on gift certificates purchased in December which makes for a great holiday gift!

Great place! I've only ever had two massages there, but they've been the absolute best by far. I…read morealways ask for John, and have him focus on a deep tissue massage. He works on the areas I request, and spends extra time on areas he feels I need. The atmosphere in the massage room is perfect. The music can become a bit annoying at times, but, otherwise, it's tranquil, with the perfect amount of lighting. As for the massage price, seriously can't be beat. I was charged $65 for a 1 hour full body massage today. Did they charge me wrong, or something? Typically, you're looking at $75 to $100 for a deep tissue, hour-long massage. And, when I've paid that in the past, the quality has been no where near what I get from John. Again, he does deep tissue with me, but I'm sure there are a ton of different people on staff, with different tecniques and specialties you can request. I would, and will, suggest this to. Any of my friends looking for some relax and unwind time.
