The first class I took at Heartsong was with Beth, who is also the owner's mom. There's something about her that especially fill my heart so I seek out her classes. She's my East Coast teacher. In the four years I've been studying at Heartsong, I have also loved Sheila's classes (Ashtanga and Kripalu). Last week I had a blast in Steve's TGI Friday Flow. I love my life in the Bay Area--the only thing that would make it more perfect were if I could go to Heartsong all the time. Keep up the great work, Heartsong family!

Life-Changing Yoga Studio!…read more TrueBody has truly changed my life. After decades of searching for relief from chronic back pain following a long career in competitive gymnastics, I finally found success here! What initially drew me in was the instructors' incredible verbal cues--I was able to tap into my former athlete mindset, making each session deeply fulfilling. Since committing to these classes, I've become stronger, leaner, and, most importantly, pain-free. An unexpected bonus? My ability to stay calm in stressful situations has improved tremendously. The environment is laid-back and welcoming, with power yoga classes that are as intense as you choose to make them. I personally thrive on high-intensity workouts, but people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds feel right at home here, with plenty of options for modifications. Whether you're a highly trained athlete (or, like me, a formerly highly trained athlete) or an absolute beginner, I can't recommend TrueBody enough. This studio is a game-changer for anyone looking to improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being!

But from time to time I get shin splints and in general I think I have weaker shins. So I looking for other ways to get exercise and stay fit that wouldn't be putting so much pressure on my shins, until I can start my PT treatments. I luckily came across April and Charlene From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed and felt like I belonged in the community. Everyone was so friendly and positive. I absolutely love April's energy and her positive, fun personality She always makes me laugh in class and makes sure to encourage everyone at all levels. I have taken Zumba classes many times before and I've enjoyed them, but I've never met people like April and Charlene who were just so down to earth and personable and made me feel so comfortable and right at home Last week we did a fun XMas playlist which was super cute and incorporated great moves, and working different parts of our bodies. I love how April incorporates core and muscle work into her songs I always end up leaving the class smiling and in a better mood then when I started, so that's definitely good thing! Not to mention that post workout glow I really wish April taught more Zumba classes during the week. I would definitely go to her 3x/week for Zumba if that was an option!!

What's that saying? "People say you don't know what you've got until it's gone."…read more Truth is, I knew what I had, I just never thought I'd lose it! After having traveled so much for the last few months, I was fortunate enough to come back just in time for their 4th open house. From 7am-12pm, it was a day of "free yoga, food and fun!" And honestly, what's better than practicing some hot yoga with one of the best yoga communities around?! Sure, I mean you might be profusely sweating on one another, but hey - who cares! It's not often that you get to practice with about 50 yogis! Open house aside, there really isn't anything close to what The Yoga Shop has, or is. The community, the hot yoga, the instructors - I can genuinely say that after having a year of experimenting and exploring other yoga studios in the Greater Hartford area, The Yoga Shop has it. Packages are moderately priced, your first class is always free, student/military discounts, and a $15 walk-in? It's certainly fair to say that TYS is agreeably priced. The only gripe I have is that it's a bit far to get to. During the after-work rush hour, it can easily take up to 15 minutes just to get to the studio from the off-ramp. So leave yourself a good 30 minutes just to get there and be comfortably situated. Whether you're looking for a heated, athletic and fast-paced yoga class or getting into yoga for the first time, TYS has something for everyone!

My yoga background / qualifications for this review: I have…read morebeen practicing yoga with increasing intensity for the past 2 years, close to completing my teacher training at SRY and just started teaching my own class at Central Rock. I have attended classes at 7-8 studios in the greater Hartford area, double that number including studios outside of CT. My proclivity is towards vigorous power classes aimed at intermediate students (on my scale "advanced" is contortionist level). The shop is not only the best yoga experience I've ever had, it's also the best establishment I've ever engaged with outside of my own parents business. It's so tempting to write a novel about how much I love this place but instead I'll just say that after moving from Indiana to Connecticut 3.5 years ago, the shop is the only place that makes me feel home again. Pros -the community / immediate sense of inclusion (opposed to the big-box WHY vibe) -Annie: business owner, instructor, life coach, role model -teaching style - all shop instructors have been taught in the signature "livefree power" styling -wide variety of classes -convenient class times -HEAT, hard to find non-bikram hot power classes -free first class to try -classes NEVER expire, I've never seen this at a studio before -classes are also transferable to friends -value, buying class cards during open house promotions ~$10 / class, very inexpensive for the area -constantly updated, modern, high BPM music, high quality sound system -beautiful space / ambiance -free cookies & tea everyday :) -Wednesday night power is just the best class ever -108 sun sals monthly Cons -location (coming from Bloomfield / weha) -I can understand from a beginner's perspective the community could be perceived as intimidating, as many students are life long practitioners -studio can be hard to spot, in an industrial mall -space does fill up (personally I've found this to also be a "pro" as it's a lot of fun to be in it together, but some may feel uncomfortable) -no showers :( -lobby / cubby space can be congested after popular classes

This cozy studio off Farmington Ave. has everything you need for a great workout. This class was my first time doing pilates with the reformer machine, and Mary was sure to explain everything and help us perfect our form. She was so calming and knowledgeable; you can tell she is passionate about her job and her clients. The workout was much more difficult than I thought it would be-in a good way! Of course Mary makes all the moves look so easy, but I could definitely feel it in my legs and thighs the next morning. Even through a short, introductory session, I could see how regularly attending classes like this would help get that toned look. Drop-ins are $35, but there is a 3 for $20 deal going on now. Mary is also Barre certified, so I am looking forward to trying one of those classes, too!

She had a sunny disposition and clearly loves teaching and is invested in the health of her clients. We started with learning all the basics of the reformer and perfecting our form.

Under Mary's guidance we focused on breathing techniques to get the most out of each position. I had a great time in the sunny little studio which is located only a couple minutes off 84! So easy to find. I hope to take advantage of the deals she's offering in the near future. Gotta get toned up for the wedding! Thanks Mary!
