There are plenty of places to take a yoga class, but Heartspace feels different…read more The classes are intentional, the instruction is thoughtful, and there's never pressure to be anything other than where you are that day. Every teacher I've experienced offers clear cueing, practical modifications, and encouragement that helps you build confidence rather than chase perfection. The studio itself is beautiful, but what stands out most is the sense of welcome and community. Whether you're walking in for the first time or returning each week, you're met with kindness and authenticity. It's a place that leaves you feeling stronger, calmer, and genuinely cared for.

My first yoga class ever was with Jennifer about a year and a half ago. Since then, I haven't…read morestopped attending. I love the way she conducts class. Every time is a little different; there is no set sequence (although some people do prefer that). Some days there will be more core work, other days more balance poses. And she always guides the mental/emotional/spiritual side, not just guidance for the physical poses themselves. I have attended other classes, and many do not offer such an opportunity for spiritual growth. Jennifer is very welcoming, for both new students, and those who have been coming to her class for years. She genuinely cares about the well-being of each person in her class, and her voice is filled with warmth and positive energy. Certainly, every person has different needs, and I think it's important to try a variety of classes. But I highly recommend that you try Jennifer's. There's no need to sign up in advance; you can just drop in whenever you like. I most enjoy the Tuesday night class, especially since there is an optional meditation at the end.

I recently became interested in Yoga earlier this year. I began by learning from DVD's and attended…read moreother yoga classes as well before committing to Jennifer's class. Since joining Jennifer's class this past fall I have found myself completely in love with Yoga as a spiritual and physical practice. The class accommodates all levels of yoga enthusiasts. I found Jennifer incredibly open to my questions as a beginner. No one class has the same routine and she does a wonderful job of explaining how each posture helps nurture, guide and reclaim both the spiritual and physical potential within each of us. I felt completely welcomed and honored by Jennifer from the very first class. She is one of the most loving and compassionate individuals I have met in a long time. You can tell she genuinely cares for each of her students because she visits and greets us individually before and after each class. If you have questions she makes herself available as needed and I found her incredibly easy to communicate with. It is important to recognize we all perceive the world differently and true wisdom can only be attained through personal experience. I would definitely recommend Jennifer's class for anyone interested in learning about Yoga or if you are new to the area and looking to join a class. She has been practicing for 11 years now and is a wealth of knowledge for both spiritual and physical practitioners.

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!

Extremely knowledgeable instructors keep everyone motivated to work out with fun music and frequent routine changes. Class pace is quick and energizing, with lots of cardio, unlike some barre classes I've tried where you just ambiguously tuck your pelvis for a while. The studio has a cozy feel and is also a really functional space that doesn't get overcrowded because advance booking is required. Classes are definitely challenging (esp barre power) but the instructors always give examples of how to modify so that people of all fitness levels can succeed. Two years later, and I still love Barre 44. The new studio space is super-airy and light, but still manages to feel cozy and inviting. With the recently-added trampoline cardio class, good luck getting rid of me!

Richard and his staff are all excellent instructors who push you to practice at your best while respecting where everyone is at.

If you're considering Bikram yoga, I can't recommend Richard and his staff enough.

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. It was such a smooth machine and a heck of a good workout! We worked a lot on activating our core, inner & outer thighs and glutes. 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!
