Small, friendly, and relaxed

by ropemonkey

After a knee injury a few months ago I realized I needed a gentle way to start being active again. Talking with Sylvia (one of the instructors), she recommended the Yin Yoga class as a great way to get moving again. Not only is it a great way to stretch out, but on Sunday nights it helps me mentally prepare for the workweek ahead. Sylvia?s expert instruction is both physically challenging and mentally calming- without being intimidating for a first-timer. I don?t really have much else to compare to, but the environment is peaceful, the instruction is professional, and the people are friendly. All required materials are provided, and all I needed to do was show up with an open mind- I can?t think of better place to get into doing yoga.

Welcoming environment, great staff!

by vanoosbree

As a complete yoga beginner, the FUNdamentals class at Blue Sky was my first structured exposure to yoga. It's been a great class and I've made it a part of my weekly routine. The studio provides all required materials (mats, blocks, bolsters, straps etc.) which makes it that much more approachable for a beginner. Of course, you're welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer, but as a novice to any new activity, the initial investment in new equipment can be very daunting. Blue Sky keeps that fear to an absolute minimum. All I had to purchase was a new pair of stretchy pants. Plus, the FUNdamentals class is only $8 a session. Very affordable.

Syvlia, the instructor, is patient, aware and genuinely interested in the students' progress. I have very limited comparison to other instructors, but I can't imagine a better instructor for a beginners' class. While I'm not anywhere close to jumping up to a more advanced class any time soon, I feel confident I'm learning the proper fundamentals that will serve me well once I am balancing on my hands with my feet behind my ears.

Best treatment ever!

by DeJerk

I have recently received, at Blue Sky Wellness Center, a series of acupuncture treatments for stress, body pains and overall lack of energy. Each session was better than the one before, and I finished my whole treatment much quicker than predicted. I have had, obviously, acupuncture before, but I felt that the practitioners at Blue Sky much more understanding and versatile.

The atmosphere is excellent and the staff very helpful.

And everything so affordable!

I can't wait to start some classes!
