Brandon and this studio are a gift! The atmosphere, the vibe, the heat and all the students are incredible. I have practiced in many studios over the years and have never felt an energy like this. This studio, more specifically Brandon, has drawn me back to my practice and I am forever grateful for it all!
I absolutely love this place. The instructors are warm, welcoming and informative. The classes are challenging and inspiring. You get an amazing workout, feel incredible afterward and always leave with something new to think about. I highly recommend you try it.
Happened upon this place while out of town for wedding. Was so thrilled with the 75min class. The teacher was awesome, helpful, and very knowledgeable but also easygoing. The other classmates were also world class. Very friendly, helped me settle in, and made sure I felt the love. This place is great! Will be back when visiting again! Keep up the good work! What a local gem.
I started going to shiva shakti a month ago and it has had a tremendous positive impact on my mind body and soul!! I always look forward to going and truly enjoy every moment I am there as I connect to my body and step outside my mind. All of the instructors are incredible, humble, inspiring people and do a terrific job at guiding you deeper into your capabilities and body and break down the limits of the mind. Life changing!!
Fantastic hot yoga classes at one of the best yoga studios I have ever been to. Great instructors, inspiring practice, fulfilling for body and mind. And a lovely warm welcome from everyone. Thank you!
Brandon has captured the essence of yoga and kept the yoga space sacred for as long as I've been practicing with him. He passes on this knowledge and passion to the teachers he trains as well. I've been to other Baptiste-inspired studios before and found them lacking. Although this is a strong and physical practice, it maintains the integrity of yoga and isn't just a fitness class. I miss this studio, this community, and drop in for a practice any time I"m in the area.
I regularly attended yoga classes here while I lived in Western Massachusetts and can in all honesty say that doing so changed my life. The teachers are compassionate and inspiring and each has their own spin to the same sequence and a unique, personal philosophy to share, which keeps the practice fresh. The space is impeccably clean and there is a wonderful community of practitioners at this studio. I completely recommend!
I am giving it a 5 because I really enjoy the classes with Brandon. He doesn't transition too fast through the movements, which allows your body to get more out of the stretches. In addition, it requires more focus to hold positions longer. Fast movements feel almost robotic. Yoga is meant to be more of a balance that benefits you strength wise, balance wise, flexibility wise, and mentally. I realize some people may enjoy fast transitioning, but I do not see how it benefits you as well. I have been told that another instructor transition's too fast. Do any other instructors transition well, and more effectively like Brandon?
It s the best I have ever experience... you will relax your mind and body .. I love it
Too crowded to move fully and pompous instructors/ staff.
Love this place. You will get a workout for your mind and body you will never forget. Drink lots of water before class and after!
Avoid.
I am currently looking for a yoga studio and continue my yoga practice regularly. I ve called a few studios and they all responded in professional manner. Shiva Shakti Power Yoga DID NOT respond to my call nor email. I just wanted to see which studio has the timing and style of classes that I am interested in and also to see if they provide an instructor who can help me with certain poses I haven t been able to do on my own yet. I do find NO RESPONSE quite unprofessional from a business stand point. Poor management! That is all.
I was fortunate enough to take classes with Brandon, Naima and Rachel during a week visiting family for Thanksgiving. I found each class to be challenging, the instruction professional and a welcoming and friendly vibe to the studio. Thanks, guys for making my visit home that much more enjoyable!
Had my first hot yoga class with Grace and she was AMAZING! Everyone was welcoming nothing but positive things to say
Started there a month ago with their intro special. Was always afraid of power vinyasa yoga but Naima, Brandon and the other instructors manage to walk the line between challenging and fun. I can already feel the positive effects and am so glad to have a studio of this quality nearby.
Seriously one of the best yoga studio I have been to. Amazing instructors, I am fortunate this studio is near me.
