The owner, Diane Lagadec is absolutely AMAZING. I can't really say enough about her or the Center, but I'll try . . . Not only does the Center offer a variety of yoga classes and teachers, but they have days and times that fit anyone's schedule. I took classes with several teachers, and they were all wonderful. My favorite ones were Diane and Mona Cusick. Each teacher offers something different as far as their approach, so it's an individual thing. I would give any of them a try. The Center also offers many interesting workshops for body, mind and spirit. I took belly dance classes here with two different teachers, and I had a great experience. Check their schedule online for the latest offerings. They also sometimes have special concerts. I went to a Kirtan once, and I had never been to one before. It was really cool, and I recommend going if you like to sing. The space itself is beautiful with spacious yoga rooms . . . there are also 2 large bathrooms for changing. The place is very clean and decorated in a very lovely, spiritual way. There are many wonderful things to buy in the shop, including jewelry, clothing, books, incense, and other supplies. I've bought my most beautiful earrings here, and a shirt that I get compliments on every time I wear it. The people who work at the Center are so nice you'll want to come back again and again. I wish I could come back here, but I now live in Cambridge and got rid of my car. Sigh. If you live in the Bridgewater area, you MUST check it out. By the way, the Center moved some time ago, and aren't in Central Square. They are at 992 Bedford Street (Route 18).

I feel so lucky to have found Paula at Shanti. She started me with a fitness class which focuses on toning and strengthening my core, as well as a Beginner's Yoga class to work on strength, balance and flexibility. She has a fantastic demeanor and vast knowledge to teach, guiding me through the process while motivating me to realize my capabilities. I've subsequently found that I still have both abs and obliques, dropping 15lbs and a belt size. But the unique thing is that I enjoy it. No excuses, no dreading it, and no boredom. Paula clearly puts a tremendous amount of time into preparing for each class. Going into my fifth month, each class is still different. I'm seeing results, feeling results and I'm not bored. After experiencing other instructors, my more experienced classmates would consistently recommended Paula highly...and now I do too...

I was visiting Massachusetts over Christmas and was looking for a weightlifting gym where I could…read moretrain. Mary answered the phone when I called and invited me to come by. Im super glad I was able to find this place! When I got there, she warmly greeted me and made sure I had everything I needed, even asking me if the music was to my liking (it was!). This is an extremely well-equipped weightlifting gym with 8 full size platforms, Olympic bars, bumper plates, power racks, blocks, and chalk stands. Thinhs were super well organized, even down to the order to the plates. Throw in a few Hookgrip / ATG / USA Weightlifting banners and I was good to go! The first thing Mary had me do were some overhead squats on a vibrating plate to loosen up my muscles. Afterwards, I got on the platform and did a few snatches with just the bar. She mentioned there would be a class soon and, not wanting to miss out on coaching, I gladly agreed to take the class. Mary was super attentive and gave her full attention to watching each lifter perform the complexes she programmed. Each lift was videotaped on an iPad, and between lifts, Mary reviewed the footage with me 1 on 1 to identify issues with my form. I could see exactly what she was talking about, and fixing these problems really helped me extend and catch more confidently. Needless to say, I absolutely love this visual approach to coaching, and her advice was very easy to understand. I only wish that I had more time to spend at this gym. Their drop-in rate is $20, or $30 to drop-in and take a class, which I think is very reasonable given the quality of the coaching and how nice the facility is. I'll definitely be back to visit when I am in the area again!

All different types of pain, from muscle spasms, to joint pain, to nerve pain, etc.. Over the past few months I have been been seeing a physical therapist for neck and shoulder problems 2x a week and a chiropractor for back, shoulder, hip and neck problems 2x a week. Over the past 2 weeks, my hips and back have literally been ON FIRE, like if you were to pull my clothes back, I am convinced that what you would see would be a raging, burning fire. About a month ago, I decided that when the kids went back to school, I was going to make it a goal to attend a yoga class twice a week. After all, I had bought not 1, but 2 packages last year and I hadn't made any time to use any of them. I have a crazy busy schedule with all of my doctor's appointments, 2 jobs and two small kids with their own appointments and activities; and I never make time to do anything I enjoy (outside of being "mother"). So anyway, I've been busy, I've been in pain, yadayadayda...and I succeed in making to class last Wednesday! SCORE!!! I was convinced I'd get on the mat and cry for the full 75 minutes because I am so wound up, I was worried I'd let it go as soon as there was silence, lol! Well I didn't cry-at all. In fact, I came out of that ONE class with peace and a sense of openness in my whole body and mind. After that ONE class, the burning throughout my body instantly cooled. My muscles feel awake rather than attacked and I keep repeating to myself: "balance the ease and the effort-find my comfortable place" in everything I do. Bonnie made such an impact on my body and mind after one class, that I crave to be in her class again. Her manual adjustments are amazing and her verbal cues are spot on. Her flows are meaningful and perfect. Bonnie's class is truly healing. On top of all that, she's downright funny, relatable and easy to be around!!! She doesn't take herself too seriously and she makes everyone feel so comfortable to not be perfect, but strive to be comfortable. I was actually surprised at how much more I was able to get into different twists and stretches with her guidance to NOT push it. I've taken many classes where the teacher says that, but there is something in the way that Bonnie approaches it that made it tangible enough to actually believe it-and then execute it and take it off the mat after. I am thrilled to have stumbled upon Bonnie and I wanted to share how much I appreciate her work. I am grateful, to say the least! Thank you! One month update: In a bizarre turn of events, my son jumped into my arms and gave me whiplash. I continued to take Bonnie's class while I was healing. I truly believe in her teaching!

I went here a couple weeks ago with my friend and her sister. We all came on a Groupon we bought,…read more10 classes for $39. This was my first time doing yoga in a long while. We got there at 9 am for a 9:30 class. There was one other woman waiting along with us, and now that I remember, it was the day after daylight savings and we all thought the instructor didn't set his/her clock forward because the woman waiting with us said the instructors are usually early as are other people taking the class. The instructor got there are 9:20/9:25 and we didn't know but we needed to do some paperwork pertaining to our health and make up a card with our name, number, etc. My friend had printed her Groupon out and this was an issue because she was told it needed to be marked "redeemed" on the app on her phone. Luckily for her, she did have her phone out in the car, but they should really state that they don't accept the print outs for the Groupon and that they only accept the Groupon if it's on the mobile app. If this was stated on the Groupon, I'm sorry, we didn't see it. But as far as we knew it didn't mention anything like that. All of this made it so that the class started late and therefore we were late entering into the actual studio so we had to split up. We got there early so we could all be next to each other, but it didn't happen that way, unfortunately. As for the class, it wasn't really de-stressing or relaxing. The instructor, while nice enough, was kind of all over the place and out of it... She'd go to help someone with a pose then get back to her mat and forget where she was at, or she'd try to tell us what muscle a certain pose was working but couldn't remember stating "I'm a yoga instructor, I should know." Maybe out of it due to the time change? I don't know. I tried to concentrate on my breath, posture, and relax but it was hard because I felt all over the place with everything. I'll go back at a different time and day, as I still have 9 classes, but after that I probably won't continue at this studio as I found one closer to where I live.
