I can't believe this is their first review, but I suppose if you didn't know about The Yoga Place,…read moreyou'd probably never find it. However, hidden upstairs in the City Square Building on Main Street is a beautiful studio that is guaranteed to change the way you look at yoga. While not a stranger to yoga, the Iyengar method is radically different from any way that I've been taught. From the very first class, you'll actually _feel_ how it's different. Rather than emphasizing flexibility as the #1 most important goal, the Iyengar method teaches proper alignment and utilizes various props throughout the class. It teaches balance and how to use your muscles to their full potential so that you have lifelong fitness and health. It also teaches the deeply calming aspects of yoga...how certain poses can alleviate afflictions, help with insomnia and have restorative qualities. Before your first class, you will be asked to fill out a medical history sheet. I've never had to do this for any fitness class, and I truly wish that I would have! When the instructor knows of your injuries, ailments and limitations, they are able to tailor the class specifically to you. They remember that you have a knee problem, and will modify the pose to meet your needs. Not in a shameful way, but in a "we still want you to participate" way. The classes are not intimidating, and I'd encourage just about anyone to at least take one to see how they like it. The instructors (especially Chris) are kind, encouraging, but will correct you when you are out of alignment so as to prevent injury and to make sure you are getting the full benefit of each pose. Class fees are very reasonable, and they have discounts for students. The varied schedules are nice because they can accommodate morning, afternoon or evening practice. And if you miss a class in your session, they allow you to make it up. You never feel like you're wasting your money if you have to miss a class. I've been to the crowded classes. It's definitely a different way of practicing yoga, but for me, the personal attention and focus on proper alignment have done amazing things for me the last 12 weeks. Please check them out!

I've been doing Lipa Yoga for 4 months and it's one of my best yoga experiences of my 11 years as a…read morestudent. I've done yoga in California, India, Boston, Mexico, Vancouver, Puerto Rico, Texas, Hawaii, Wisconsin, San Francisco and even an Ashram in the Bahamas. I look for a spiritual experience that will also move my body toward it's best. I always want to be learning. The best yoga experiences are where there's no judgment, everyone is made to feel welcome and accepted no matter where they're at in their yoga practice and lives. When I walk into Lipa it just feels good and I know it's going to be the best part of my day. I leave feeling refreshed and grounded. The teachers are exceptional. Everyone is kind. Having just moved back to Wisconsin after 30 years in California I was surprised and delighted to find a studio like Lipa. I feel at home. The studio is very clean, the energy is calm and light. There are always all levels, yet it caters to a great experience for all. Even my partner goes and is feeling the love :) I highly recommend the meditation experience at Lipa also. Divna and team, Thank you. I'm really back home. There's no place like home.

All the young staff I feel are well-trained and very friendly. But today, 6/9 AM, a new gal was a life guard she sat on the bench waiting with her friend to get a lane for laps A young man was on the guard chair. She sat for a while with her friend on the bench and was on her phone, looking down and not at the pool at all. She climbed up the second guard chair when exercise class started and ate a cookie it did not look good!

In this way, the instructor is able to make sure that all participants are doing the exercises correctly. So the workout ends up being vigorous and yet also safe.

I got injured every few weeks and had to take off several weeks to let my shoulders, elbows,and knees heal. I could work out only ~6 out of 14 months that I signed up for. They make you do your own warm up at the beginning and there is no stretching at the end. Guidance is minimal. Seem like the guidance is given on the need to know bases. I brought this up with the management however I was told that this is how they will run the place. I would rather go to a place which has warm-up and stretching built into the instructed run exercise time. This place is run by a chiropractor who consider himself a doctor, a scientist and a nutrition specialist however he is a vaccine denier and preach to eliminate nuts from the diet. He sends out articles via email with his jaw dropping ignorant pseudoscience crazy theories about fish oil, probiotics and multivitamins. Being a GI doctor I have a certain level of competence in nutrition and probiotics and I always found this guy's ignorant and misleading spin on these topics appalling and dangerous.
