You should know that the teachers, staff and other children will become your family. You should look for a place that share your faith, values and morals. You should search for a place that will build your child's skills, knowledge of the art and self-confidence. If you are looking for a studio that incorporates all of these qualities, look no further because you have found your studio, home and family at Debby Dillehay Dance Studio. I just attended the dance recital on Tuesday and hadn't been to it in some years and was completely impressed with the skills, love and community there. You will not be disappointed.

So after a Yelp Gets Physical and the ease of location, I decided City Surf Fitness was going to be…read morewhat got my "slingshots" (as my loving, eternal +1 calls my biceps) into some toned muscle and get back into living a more healthy lifestyle. My workout preference is one that doesn't feel like working out, i.e. volleyball, kayaking, dancing on pool tables. Those sort of things. So I'm not a yoga, pilates, "lets really think about this stretch" sort-of-exerciser. I'm also horrible at a gym membership 'cause no one is going to crack the whip on me to go there if it's not intentionally put on my schedule. I think City Surf is the perfect fit for me in this regard. I'm not an early bird, and they have classes that fit for my schedule at 8:30 am, and if I book, I'm committed to going. The two classes I really like are Beach Body Bootcamp* and City Surf*. IF you are a yoga type, or want to do more muscle-building, they have other courses and you can get a sneak peek of what they look like on their site if you want to set expectations. Each person in the class is assigned a surf board that is on top of three fitness balls. It's not as unbalanced as a real surfboard might be in the water but still takes a second to master some of the moves on top of the board. My balance was for shiz at first, but I can tell even from my last couple of classes, that it's improving. The classes are only 50 minutes long, and like their mantra says, it really is a no pressure environment. While you are in a class, it's really easy to focus on what you're doing and the instructor is there more so to guide you through the workout. There's no calling anyone out if you get winded (which I do), slow your pace, or need to adjust what you're doing. The music is great to workout to, and at the end you get a nice cooling towel placed on you face (I'm totally into it). You do need grippy socks (which they sell) for the boards, and I would suggest if you have sweaty palms (like this lady) maybe also get some grippy gloves so you can properly do the exercises. I like that I'm sore in places I never knew I could be sore, but not so sore that it's debilitating. If you think the classes are a little pricey they do have some great introductory rates, and they'll throw a deal out there every now and then. I am excited to work up to pea shooters from my current state of slingshots, and see where I can go from there! ;) Beach Body Bootcamp - Cardio based class designed to make you sweat and burn calories. City Surf - Their signature class featuring surf inspired movements utilizing surfer specific muscle groups.

I used to do yoga here in 2014-2015 and stopped because I moved a little further from the studio. I…read morerecently started going back for their prenatal yoga classes. They are the only yoga studio in the GNO area I could find that still offers prenatal yoga. I was quickly reminded what a warm and welcoming studio Wild Lotus is. The class is varied every week, and really helps me stretch and stay in shape as I prepare to give birth! It's nice to be in a class with other expecting mamas. My only suggestion would be to offer perhaps a weekday evening class as well! Often my birthing/childcare classes are on Saturday mornings so I do have to alternate weeks. I don't know if Wild Lotus ever offered the cold aromatherapy wash clothes at the end of class for the face. I remember going to a prenatal class with a friend 10 years ago elsewhere, and that was one of my favorite parts; I would not hate if Wild Lotus offered that! :)

As a registered yoga teacher myself, I have had the opportunity to learn from many instructors over…read morethe years, and Gabriella is one of the most exceptional teachers I have ever encountered. I first met Gabriella at NOLA Yoga Fest, where I attended one of her inversion workshops. I was so impressed by her teaching that I began attending her weekly handstand and inversion classes and have continued to do so consistently ever since. What sets Gabriella apart is her remarkable ability to truly see her students. She can watch someone move for only a few moments and identify exactly what is limiting their progress, what adjustments need to be made, and what specific drills or techniques will help them improve. Her understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, and skill development is extraordinary. She seems to have an endless toolkit of exercises, progressions, and creative approaches that allow every student to work at their own level while continuing to advance. As a teacher, I am especially impressed by her effectiveness. Many instructors can create an enjoyable class. Far fewer can consistently help students make meaningful progress in a complex skill like inversions. Gabriella does. She has an incredible ability to break down difficult movements into understandable steps, and she knows exactly how to challenge each student appropriately. One of the things I appreciate most is that Gabriella expects her students to work. Her classes are not passive, and they are not built around making everyone feel comfortable all the time. They are built around helping people improve. She is not a teacher who babies students, but she is a teacher who invests in them. If you come to class ready to learn, listen, and put in the effort, you will be challenged, supported, and given the tools to grow. Beyond her technical expertise, Gabriella is an incredibly effective communicator. Her verbal cues are precise and easy to understand, her demonstrations are both beautiful and instructive, and she creates an environment that feels focused, encouraging, and empowering. Complex skills that once felt intimidating become accessible under her guidance. I have maintained a dedicated yoga practice for years across Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga traditions, and Gabriella remains my favorite yoga teacher I have ever studied with. Every class deepens my understanding of movement, and every class leaves me with something new to work on. The progress I have made in my inversion practice is a direct result of her instruction. In a fitness and yoga culture that often prioritizes feeling accomplished over actually developing skill, Gabriella is refreshingly committed to genuine progress. If you have the opportunity to study with her, whether you are brand new to inversions or an experienced practitioner looking to refine your practice, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

There's a handful of great teachers at this studio, which is a solid hot vinyasa studio in NOLA but…read moreGabriella isn't one of them so I'm putting a one star review here to bring awareness. In 20 years of practice, I have never seen a teacher anywhere on the globe that teaches with such ego, narcissism and lack of concern for student safety. Literally told her before class that I have hardware in my lumbar and my PT told me not to do backbends anymore because I hardly have a disc left above my 19yo spinal fusion yet she ridicules me in front of the class for not doing the backbends she calls for. Pretty appalling. Going to her classes are sitting through more of a session in her kissing her own ass than they are actually practicing yoga. Take heed Look out for teachers such as Connor, Kaitlyn & Ciara at this studio if you want skillful teachers with empathy and compassion for students

I love that Nordc reaches out to so many people in our community. The programs that we have enjoyed are: Piano lessons, Ballet class and ASL at Gernon Brown, Swimming class, playground and free meals at Treme Center and recently the Kung Fu and Kickboxing at Milne. Milne is the newest and smallest to open and is in Gentilly. It is located behind the main office on Franklin Avenue. Sometimes we come in to just use the fitness center, which has all new equipment and is 18 and over. I can't wait until they add more classes with actual teachers as we have tried to sign up for several things that have not been staffed. Sad face. But we are happy to have this in Gentilly and will keep enjoying it!
