Breathe yoga studio is an absolute gem! The space is fantastic - two spacious, window-lined studios provide ample room for practice, yet the size keeps class numbers perfectly portioned to create a level of spiritual intimacy and calm within the practice that I’ve never experienced at a gym. When I pass over the threshold to the studio, my whole body breathes a deep and expansive sigh of relief, dropping the burdens of my day at the door. They provide every prop you could ever need in a practice (including a mat, if you don’t have one), so you can just come into the space and immerse yourself in the experience.
The instructors… my heart is so grateful for their amazing energy, spirit, wisdom, and care. These women are truly invested in their students and in creating an experience of clarity, awareness, and elevation that leaves you feeling energized and almost cleansed from the inside out. One of my two favorite classes of the week is Karen Scott’s Hatha Yoga on Saturday mornings – she is amazing!!! Her voice is so calming and her practices are so fluid that I often don’t realize how much she’s challenged me both mentally and physically. This 6:45AM class has become my lifeline, centering my heart and mind after a long week. My other favorite is Sam Sharkey’s Sunday evening Vinyasa and Restorative class. Sam is the very essence of yoga and incorporates the whole of the science of yoga into her practices. She focuses on form (which is very helpful when you have none!) and self-awareness and I’ve learned so much from her, not only about my practice but also about myself through my practice (if that makes sense??). She challenges, inspires, and motivates like no other, and she is willing to meet you wherever you are on your journey. I’ve just recently started attending Wednesday classes led by Christy Plaugher, co-owner of the studio. Her practice centers around the breath and challenges me in an entirely new and different way. Her experience and education are well-incorporated into the practice and I’ve found there’s so much to learn from her.
For those new to yoga or thinking about going back, this studio has every level of student from the super-flexible Yogi/Yogini to someone like me – not new to yoga but still clumsy, soft, and not-so-bendy. There is no judgment or expectation, only a heartfelt desire to bring people – regardless of size, shape, age, flexibility, balance - into the practice of yoga.
