As a first-time dance mom, I couldn't ask for a better studio than Catherine's. From day one, this…read morehas been a place where kindness and encouragement are truly lived out. The owners and instructors are incredible, and what's been especially meaningful to me is how supported we feel not only by the staff, but by the entire studio community. The older dancers are kind, patient, and welcoming, and they model exactly the type of culture you hope your child is learning from...confidence, respect, and empathy. Most importantly, my daughter loves coming to dance. She absolutely adores Ms. Catherine and her instructors, and I've watched her grow in ways that go far beyond technique. She's learning how to be comfortable in front of a group, how to try new things, and how to believe in herself...all in an environment that feels safe and encouraging. If you're looking for a studio where your child will be nurtured as a person, not just trained as a dancer, Catherine's is truly something special. We feel so lucky to be part of this community. Thank you Ms. Catherine and staff, for more than I can ever put into words! We love you!

Instructors and even the owner often refused to engage with her, and she was removed from dances when she couldn't participate fully -- even though she was willing to sit, watch, and learn. This environment was anything but supportive. If you want a kind, inclusive place where children are treated with respect, I recommend looking elsewhere.

The instructors are very welcoming, energetic and have a great variety of routines (we even Zumba to a country song!). It's very non-intimidating, you'll see people off all ages, sizes and experiences.. and get a great workout! It's also very affordable for a group fitness class - even more so if you buy a package (they last 90 days). I love Zumba and am very excited to find a great studio here in the Northland! The Zumba slogan is "Join the Party" and it sure fits this studio!

Housed in a building that was once part of Kansas City's film row, I had a good feeling as I walked over Joan Crawford's and Jean Harlow's stars on the sidewalk leading into the building. (both screen queens spent their formative years in KC... wow, I have a way of fitting that into many reviews, don't I?) The studio is on the second floor, down past the check-in desk and hallway where you'll find the bathrooms and an alkaline water system. The studio itself is lovely, with bamboo floors and all kinds of wall hangings and statues around the room with Ganesh and other Hindu deities, which automatically makes me feel happy. The room has lots of windows, which allows for natural light and they like to keep the temperature to 80 degrees. No, this is NOT hot yoga (not a fan, personally), but you will sweat. Personally, I do like having windows open, letting in fresh air and fans, but I think I'm in the minority as I haven't found any studios that have this kind of thing. Most classes are taught by Kathleen and Wade, the husband and wife team that own Maya Yoga and both are approachable, strong instructors that will push you as far as you need to be pushed, while not going too far. It's noted on the schedules which classes are more for beginning students, by the way, so take note of that if you are a beginner. Having fallen out of regular practice, I mixed it up a bit to get back into it. I've taken a combination of classes, although not those in the morning or evening (ashtanga) which are really for those who have some background in yoga. I don't love ashtanga, but I did take two intro classes with Wade and he really does a great job of easing you into this challenging practice, for many of us, would take years to be able to do a lot of the asanas to their fullest benefit. Keep in mind, yoga is a practice and it's not about who can do this or that pose or asana. It's hard for most Westerners, as most of us are looking to be "good" at it (myself not excluded). What I've always found interesting is that you can be an absolute beginner but able to do some challenging poses with ease, like from when I started yoga many years ago, I found ankle to knee pose to be a piece of cake while a good portion of seasoned practitioners struggle with this. Meanwhile, I've still yet to be able to put my hands flat the floor when doing a forward bend. Kathleen's Tuesday midday Vinyasa class is perfect and definitely challenges me (hello splits! Still can't do those, either), while keeping me in good practice for those poses that come easier (Yay, backbends!). Today we had a really fantastic sub named Gwen and I need to see if she teaches other classes, because she was a blast- really down to earth, really helpful, but again, it's not gentle yoga (which she teaches as well, to seniors. How awesome is that?!) I come from a Vinyasa and Kundalini practice and ideally my practice combines both. Maya doesn't offer Kundalini, so I'll probably be going elsewhere for that, but I am really happy that I found a yoga studio that I love for Vinyasa!

They have one of the most diverse groups of students you'll encounter, and no matter where you are in your practice or physical abilities, there is a class for you. You'll find no judgement here. Nothing about InBliss feels like a business, rather, a safe space to recharge my batteries and deepen my yoga practice. I felt from the very beginning that they truly cared about me. Something I particularly love about InBliss is that they aren't afraid to dive deep - things like chanting, sound bowls hands on assists, and breathwork are just a few experiences I enjoy in every class here - and those things are becoming more rare as cookie cutter corporate studios are popping up all over the city. Matti, Starr, and the rest of the teachers are deeply knowledgeable, but also genuine, generous, and kind - always making me feel truly like a part of their community. If you're considering giving InBliss a try, their pricing is VERY reasonable, making yoga accessible to more people. They have an amazing new student special, as well as some of the lowest monthly unlimited yoga memberships I've seen. We are SO LUCKY to have such a perfect place in the northland.
