They provide everything you need there if you do not have your own 'yogi tools'. I am taking the one month "New Student Special" for $59.00 I promised myself to go for 30 days straight. *Disclaimer* I have only ever taken big box gym style Yoga and this was my first experience with a Studio. Took my first class with Brooke; after my first class; I went home thinking- that was not hard at all... pssh. The next day my body needed 4 ibuprofen to get out of bed. I promised myself to do 30 days of yoga in a row so I went back for class 2 with Yuko and the worst of it was how sore I was from the day before. I can only make the late night classes so I am in for it with Brooke again tonight. I think this is a great local Magnolia Studio; I wish they had more class options and times... but for quaint Magnolia- I am sure its perfect. One thing that stood out was how welcoming they are and patient with newbies. I'm a fan (so-far) and with the help of pain meds I will make it through the 30 days and update you Yelpers at the end of my 30 Days and let you know if I become a member!

No more neck pain! I…read morebegan attending The Yoga Studio in Magnolia 5 years ago when I wanted to gain more flexibility in my spine to help with my chronic neck pain. Best decision I could have made!! My neck pain is completely manageable when I attend Yoga class once a week. The studio is very clean with a relaxing atmosphere and provides mats, straps, blankets and blocks if you need them. I can't say enough great things about the wonderful instructors, especially Brooke!! His classes are unlike any other yoga class I have attended and he provides a calm and causal setting. At the start of every class Brooke asks what we would like to work on and he works these requests into the session. You would be hard pressed to find a more personable and intimate yoga studio!

Wow! That was... SPECTACULAR…read more I bought a Groupon and was surprised that I could immediately redeem it online for a class within the same week. I took Hasna's 6pm class today and was blown away. I'm on "sabbatical" aka I quit my "grown up job" and am just bumming around indefinitely now, trying to make my heart sing. Well, sing it did... We got started a bit late (about 8 minutes, not that I'm keeping track or anything...) and it seemed to take forever to paddle into the middle of the water where we were to do our yoga thing, but it was a great workout and definitely worth the little trouble of hauling the board, etc. Oh I should tell you that I can't swim. And I was kneeling while paddling my way to the middle of the ocean (or is it lake? Whatever) because I was worried of falling into the water. However, somehow, once we were tethered to the buoy line, the board "felt" a lot more stable and I found myself downward doggy-ing on the board with no problem. It was such a surreal experience. All other on-ground yoga sessions from now on will be lame in comparison (unless James Franco shows up to the yoga class!). Between the water and the blue sky, I felt happy to be alive. I was proud of myself for the first time in a long time, for my ability to disregard the fear of falling into the water (and drowning and possibly but highly unlikely, dying) and to focus on my yoga practice instead. Warning, this is about to get so much cheesier... But I felt connected to God/the Universe/the Man Upstairs/the Higher Power and I started to truly believe that the Universe loves me ferociously, and wants me to be happy. #lifechanging (das right, had to insert a hashtag right there) OMG, is sobriety and fresh air making me delusional? There were seals okay!!! Cute seals flapping about as we were paddling into our yoga spot. And fish and seagulls. You can't help but fall in love with nature and the Universe and life all over again... Or almost for the first time, if you're me. Anyway, enough about the epiphany on water I had today. The staff were great, super friendly, helpful and encouraging. The freak factor is not high (aka it's not super hippie-ish). I dragged my sister along and unfortunately she didn't have as great a time as I did, but she was incredibly brave for being on the paddleboard for the first time and one of the staff (Andrew?) towed her and her board to the middle to help speed her along. Yay Hasna and the WASUP Yoga team! You made my heart sing :)

I used the free class trial offer to check out the baby wearing dance class and it was so fun. I'm still recovering from giving birth and I easily adapted the moves to what my body was able to handle, while still enjoying the connection and fun of dancing with other moms and our littles. The instructors brought great energy. The space itself is a great "make yourself at home" vibe. I can imagine it may get a bit crowded at popular days/times but was super convenient to navigate and find a place to park the stroller, then nurse my kiddo when I needed to. It feels like they've put a lot of consideration into what parents want/need from a place like this. I appreciate the variety of pricing options, from memberships to punch cards to single passes, especially since it's hard to predict our schedule these days. And access is linked to the kiddo, so partners and caregivers can take advantage of the space too. Will definitely be back!!

Our first impression was stellar and I wish we had checked it out sooner! The Heybrook is aesthetically beautiful, fun and safe for littles - and bonus that they have several toys we don't have at home! - they have coffee and good company for parents, and ample opportunity for young ones to socialize with each other. This place is a gift to the community, including the affordable cost with great value. Thank you, Heybrook!

This place is like pregnant lady haven. Ashley and Katie are amazing! They remembered my name after…read morethe first appointment. I thought I was just another face to them. Ashley even remembered off the top of her head how far along I was. I did my research when it came time to choose OB vs midwife and I'm SOOOOOOO glad I signed up to see the midwives. Midwives concentrate on the special topic of pregnancy, birth, and post partum recovery. OB is a trained surgeon for generally anything going on "down there." Most childbirths don't need surgery. They're definitely related and a lot of their jobs overlap, but midwives are specialized nurses that spend overall more time with their patients as supports and guides. Midwives are the ones that deliver and catch the babies at NW hospital. OBGYNs are surgeons. They don't catch the babies; they perform surgery. They are there to perform surgery when something goes wrong. They did not train as in-depth as midwives when it comes to helping you survive those 9 months beforehand. As the hospital nurse very politely whispered to me when I sat in my hospital bed after 15 hours of labor..."Let's hope you will never need to see the OBGYN. If you do, it means something during labor went wrong." TL;DR - If you want preggo sage lady experts COME HERE! When I was there, there were 6 midwives on staff rotation. They're all extremely knowledgeable. I saw Deborah, Yaseem, Cindy, and Victoria the most often and she was never judgemental even though I asked (looking back now) the stupidest "questions." Everyone was so patient and open-minded. They respect women's bodies and do everything with faith that our bodies are stronger than what we believe to be (it's very true.) My appointments sometimes ran long because I'm long-winded but they always let me stick around. I would have slapped myself if I had to listen to me for a hour! When I needed to be induced (baby was 11+ days overdue) Victoria Swarthout saw how terrified and concerned I was so she squeezed me into a morning appointment on the date of my induction so I could ask her ALL the questions and address all of my concerns... which @ 42 weeks pregnant as a first time Mom during a pandemic just sounded like this "WHY why whyyyy me!!! Why won't this baby come!!!" Oh forgot, it was the start of the pandemic. Yeah I gave birth in March, the very same week things went into lockdown. New hospital policies were being put in place and my anxiety level skyrocketed. I'm first generation Chinese American of course, and a little bit of a hypochondriac so the pandemic got me off on a very rough start. I was afraid of discrimination (none at all found here) and I was afraid of changing hospital policies. On top of the unexpected induction and having to find a doula last minute. I was literally being induced with a hand UP my cervix while trying to hire a new doula on the phone...ugh! Lol. The induction and labor was 35+ hours. Very very very long. And we were all ready to give up...get that C-section no one wanted...when Victoria calmly said "You know what? Let's give it another hour." I wanted to cry. I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours and I was going to end up on the surgeons table after all that waiting and exhaustion. Victoria gave me as much time as she could. 1 hour or 2 later, I suddenly felt a crazy need to push. So she came back to check my dilation and suddenly I went from 7 to full 10! How did she know I just needed some time? Time to PUSH!! YASSSSS! Pushing was the best part. That took no time at all. And suddenly I had a perfect baby on my chest. No c-section. Pure miracle. All thanks to the patience and faith the midwives have. No medical intervention, no pressure, no rush, no panic. A woman's body is truly, truly a miracle blessed by nature. We were designed to give birth and on our own body's timeline. Post partum support with midwives was awesome too. They vetted for post partum depression, checked on my perninal tear, talked and administered birth control. I am basically going to use the midwives as my general doctor. Did you know they do that? Yup! You can do your annual check ups with them :) Anyways this is probably the most personal Yelp review ever hahaha. Look at the handiwork that Victoria caught on that first day of spring at 3 am. Eden is 1 year old already. What a blessing and what a miracle these 6 women at NW midwives are. I'll be forever in debt to them my entire life.

Autumn is a fantastic Doula! I am so thankful that I was able to have Autumn during my labor. She…read morewas extremely helpful with pain management and came with a bag full of goodies to aid in my comfort. She was very helpful in coaching my husband and provided an extra set of hands so he could shower and make sure we had everything we needed before leaving our place. She arrived at our apartment at nearly 2am and stayed with us for at least 24 hours! We had planned an out of hospital birth, but after a very long labor at home and at the birth center, my midwives transferred me to UW. Postpartum home visits are just as helpful, providing breastfeeding and pumping advice, she will even show you how to baby wrap and answer any questions you have. Before I decided to hire a Doula for my birth, I was unsure if I would "need one." My midwife had initially recommended that I have one, especially for first time births. I then spoke to a few people who had used a Doula, and only heard positives! No one ever says "I wish I didn't have my Doula!" Now I tell everyone "you need a Doula!"

Autumn is an awesome doula!!! We had a great experience with Seattle Doula Partners and would…read moreabsolutely hire them again. We interviewed 3-4 doulas and the team at Seattle Doula Partners stood out the best to us. They were not pushy and their experience and calmness in communicating to us through facts and information really appealed to us. The initial conversations before the birth were very helpful. I was very apprehensive about the birth and talking with them to help uncover my and my husband's anxieties about the birth and it really helped prepare us emotionally. In many ways I felt like it was a therapy session! When I was hospitalized at 32 weeks, Autumn checked in on me consistently to make sure we were doing okay which felt very reassuring. Finally when the day came, we let Autumn know we were on the way to the hospital at about 11pm and she arrived just after I settled down in the L&D room which was super speedy! She immediately attended to both mine and my husband's needs, answering any questions we had. One of the most valuable things that Autumn did was that before anything that happened, e.g. getting my epidural or pushing, Autumn talked through in detail what to expect and this helped prepare us well emotionally and in many ways, made me less fearful. She was always right by our sides coaching us on what to do in a gentle and reassuring way. She wasn't intrusive and allowed me and my husband to have our own time. Through the pattern of my contractions, the nurse hypothesized that my baby was face up. Autumn had a ton of suggestions on how to resolve this and coached the nurse to getting me in the right positions. By then, my lower half was pretty weak from the epidural and every time the nurse had to shift me, Autumn was always there to lend a helping hand. At about 2am, all of us went to rest and my husband was exhausted. The IV machine kept beeping and Autumn always promptly stood up and turned it off so that we could all rest. She was close by and helped me with every small little thing I needed so my husband could rest. Autumn coached me through the entire 2 hours of pushing and holding my legs up. She was very encouraging and her calming and reassuring words gave me a ton of confidence. Once the baby was out, she stepped back, got one of our phones and took a bunch of pictures that I really treasure today! Post birth, I had a lot of difficult breastfeeding and Autumn shifted her schedule so she could come and visit me soon after that. She helped me with the latch and gave me a bunch of ideas to help increase my supply. 3 months on and I still think about how lucky we were to have Autumn by our side! Thank you so much for your hard work, Autumn!!

During prenatal and in the delivery room, Caellyn knew how to bring the energy down to a place that felt so safe and reassuring and how to be simultaneously frank and encouraging. She helped me to navigate an unplanned induction and the decisions that involved, and once labor began, made all the right suggestions to keep it progressing and me as focused and relaxed as possible. The position changes she taught me and her hands on work were very helpful. The pelvic stretches she did on me were so effective I could literally feel my baby moving through my pelvis with every single contraction! When I was no longer communicating, I was dimly aware of Caellyn continuing to facilitate the room and calling for the midwife when it was time. She says that she's always looking for ways to make things sweeter, and that's so true, down to the dark chocolate she gave me immediately after delivery with my daughter in my arms. I'm so grateful to her for helping me to achieve the unmedicated labor and delivery I wanted. I'd absolutely recommend Caellyn to anyone in search of a kind and knowledgeable doula who makes your birth experience feel safe and special!
