The workout was a HIIT version alternating between light/medium weights and cardio. 45 sec on, 15 sec recovery. I felt the right amount of sore afterwards to know I worked hard. I was able to do most activities or at least adjust to one's I could do. The instructor was energetic and motivating. Music was pumping up the class. We even had a well behaved puppy participant. The room was bright and well heated. Really great experience.

This is, hands down, one of my favorite yoga experiences…read more I am a yoga person who got into it for the stretching and to compliment my other athletic sports/workouts. Lots of Iyengar yoga in my life. :) I've gone to various instructors, gym yoga classes, yoga focused studios, etc, but this is my absolute favorite. It's not the cheapest yoga experience in the Cities, but I always feel like it's worth every cent. First off, the space. There are two studios, and both are lovely. Well-equipped, quiet, and clean. I feel calmer and more centered just coming into this space. Even in the winter, when everyone has to squeeze in and take off all your layers in the coat room entry! Second, the TEACHERS. I've only had good experiences with the various teachers I've had. There's definitely a range-- some teachers appeal more to me than others. But I can always see how the teachers I don't prefer would appeal to someone different than me. The teachers are always very, very good. They are clearly very engaged and working to improve their own teaching methods and styles, and this is one of the places where I feel like the money I spend really pays off. I always felt very listened to, and like the teachers wanted to support ME in my practice. As a fat athletic woman, that's sometimes not always the vibe I get, yk? Finally, the classes! I love that this place distinguishes what kinds of styles and focuses the classes have, and even when I go to the same class week after week, it's always a little different. I feel like there's a wider variety of styles and focuses here than I typically find. It's really helped me put my finger on and articulate what I do and don't want at different times. I would say it's more yoga focused than fitness yoga focused, generally. If you're looking for fitness yoga you might be disappointed. Other notes: Parking is limited, but the studio is directly on the 21 bus route and has places to lock up a bike.

I moved into Lowertown this summer from out of state and was looking for a yoga studio that I could…read morewalk to. I am a ClassPass member and I saw Northern Yoga Center was both close and on ClassPass. The first class I went to was lead by JQ, the studio owner. I instantly knew I had found my yoga-home in Lowertown. JQ, Kristy, Adam, and Alexandra all have a sharp and clinical focus on big and small body movements and will use anatomical terms which really helps to visualize and feel the proper alignment in each pose. There is a huge focus on proper alignment and excellent build-up to full poses. The space itself is lovely, huge windows that let in great light, there's always music, and often the option for essential oil to be placed on you in Shavasana. Not to mention the frequent and unique workshops offered. This is a special space and I wish nothing but prosperity for JQ and each of the instructors. Thank you for creating an environment that feels like home.

Even on their social media? They were really eager to get rid of me off of their website as well. No notice, no notice that even my schedule access would be revoked, there was promise of me returning once I feel better from this medical condition that I had where I couldn't even finish a 60 minute massage, and then come to find out that is no longer viable because they filled up my room and no longer have any need for any of my services anymore. Directly contradicting what was originally textually agreed to. This is severely disappointing. I see the reply from merry Beth to my comment and want to point out there was not an adequate amount of time for me being away. They did not give me 90 days per my contract and decided to fill my room and choose someone else while I was recovering without letting me know they were going to go ahead and do this. If I was unable to fulfill my contract they could have talked to me to see what we can do. And they chose to not do that and not offer me another contract. Thank you for taking the time to read. Again, severely disappointed.

At the time I…read moreasked about expiration, availability, etc. I was told no expiration by the front desk seller. My daughter was only able to go in twice as appointments were difficult to schedule and not readily available. We called several times and finally went directly to the store.

I had went in to see about Yoga lessons but was completely put off by the service. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

I would suggest Core to anyone wanting to try something new or deepen their relationship to their body.

There is a strong sense of community community at Fly Freak - students and staff both are so accepting and encouraging. I love how everybody cheers when someone does a trick for the first time! I love chair dance (shout out to Kit!), aerial yoga (all the teachers for this are phenomenal) and Sling (my go to teachers are Clara, Christy and Hayley, but I've never had a instructor I didn't like!). I also love the workshops and special events - self defense classes, guardian and kiddo classes, sound baths and my personal favorite, photo shoots!

The instructors she had were really encouraging, which made a big difference for my soft-spoken kiddo. I noticed that on days she went to class, she slept better and her overall mood improved. Since a lot of sports and physical activities for kids tend to be competitive, which isn't really her thing, Fly Freak has been a great alternative. If you're looking for a way for your child to move around that also helps with regulation, I definitely recommend giving Fly Freak a try!
