Essence Of Life Yoga And Pilates

As I am not a active member at essence of life I have tried to be I have sent multiple emails or should I say I've gone through their website where it says contact us because when I call no one ever answers the phone. I actually drove there one time and a woman I assume was the owner but I could be wrong advise me oh if you contact us through our website someone will contact you back within 24 hours better not happen this has gone on for a few months I still wanted to support small business.

Definitely through the pandemic. They are a very small business tucked back in a small studio off the beaten path. No one ever got back to me. I did call three times in one day hoping to reach somebody finally after the third call I did leave a negative voicemail. Of course no vulgar language and not attacking anyone. I was then met with an email not a phone call of how I am not welcome in their office because I do not clearly understand that there is a pandemic and they are having a hard time.

I appreciate the hard time and I can understand the pandemic as why my friends and I were trying to support a local small business so no I do not recommend them because they feel they are above everyone else and they are better than the average person.

I've been twice now for Becca's hot yoga session on Monday evenings. She leads you through a different flow each time. She is very good about easing into the practice, makes it challenging, and then eases to a nice finish. I appreciate that she has a good mix of stretching and then some challenging holds or poses that help you push yourself to new limits and build strength.

She also provides options to make the poses easier or more challenging depending on how you're feeling that day. The ambience of the studio is very cute, clean, and there is a nice scent to the room. The heat gets up to about 99 so you get a good sweat from the hot yoga session as well. I will be back and excited to attend some of the other classes they offer!

From starting here as a moderate beginner in yoga; the variety of classes and experienced instructors has lead me so much further in my practice. The kindness and cleanliness of the environment is a huge plus, but not only that; the spiritual guidance and understanding from the head instructor, Jodi, takes EOL to a different level. If you are ready for a physical and mental transition, you need to look no further.

The staff and members of Essence of Life really turn into family. It's such a positive and healthy environment, that one can really enjoy the extra workshops and events that this family has to offer. Highly recommend!

I love Essence of Life. I have been training with Andrea for several years, and it has been my favorite workout experience. The Pilates Reformer is a tough, total body workout, and Andrea keeps it interesting by constantly changing it up, adding new routines and making us laugh. For those looking for a smaller studio with a good zen vibe, I recommend trying EOL.

I never thought I would like group fitness classes. But I was finding it hard to stick to any fitness routine at home. I started slow with one yoga class a week last October. What I found was I LOVE yoga. I tried another studio through Groupon, but it didn't compare to the experience and atmosphere of Essence of Life. It's not just Yoga I love, but the whole experience.

I slowly advanced myself into the various classes they offer. I now do 4 workouts a week. I feel and look better than I have in many years. I'm down 30 lbs thanks to the awesome instructors who plan different workouts each class. I never get bored and am always challenged. And just when I think it gets easier, they change things up and kick my butt again.

The other clients are also welcoming and supportive. I love all the instructors and am so thankful for their support and encouragement. Without them I know I would not have continued exercising.

Essence of Life is a studio where everyone is embraced. From the instructors to the members, you will feel welcomed and encouraged. The mat pilates/barre classes with Christine and Andrea will work every bit of your body and leave you feeling stronger every day. The yoga classes range from restorative to power with many conducted in 95 degrees which I personally love! Jodie, Tori, Taryn, Andrea and Lindsey all have different styles, yet I have a hard time deciding between them as they are all terrific!

I also love the occasional workshops with fun and different yoga classes and healthy living sessions. (If you've never done breathwork, take Jodie's breathwork and meditation workshop! The experience will surprise you!). I've been coming here for 6 years and I still love every single minute I spend in this space!

Essence Of Life is one of the most amazing studios I have ever experienced across the NATION! The owner and staff are beautiful souls. They make sure that you feel welcome. The place is unbelievably clean and it has that vibe that you just don't want to leave because you feel so good while you're there. I highly recommend Essence Of Life

I needed to revamp my workouts and be kinder to my body. I fell in love with Essence from the moment I walked in the door. Great instructors who trained in modifications for all levels of fitness. The owner Jodie Baudek has a no judgement policy that everyone strictly adhered to, I have made some of the most amazing friendships in this studio, it's full of love and an amazing place to leave your cares at the door while getting an amazing workout. I love, love, love this place.

I have never found a studio that I LOVE as much as Essence of Life! The classes are amazing and accessible to all different fitness levels and ages. The instructors are extremely helpful and make sure your form is correct to avoid injury and never make you feel embarrassed or called out. The combination of Yoga and Pilates has CHANGED MY LIFE for the better, both physically & mentally, and I could never be more grateful for discovering Essence! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping me accountable and helping me grow into the person I always knew I was capable of being!

I have been to the studio a couple of times to take classes with Christine one of the best instructors there, totally recommend. First time i went in i was quite nervous because i didn't know anyone but everyone there was very friendly and welcoming. During class i noticed everyone had a different level of advancement which again made me nervous however, Christine was very comforting about me being new to the experience.

After a couple minutes i started to get probably a little too comfortable because i thought "wow this is easy" but boy was i wrong. Lets just say i got my a** beat in a good way! Definitely going back hopefully soon.

I tagged along with a friend who was receiving eyelash extensions at Essence of Life for an event. This is a nice place but the concept is confusing. The main level is 2 Pilates machines and a row of beds where people are getting eyelash extensions. Then there are yoga classes upstairs but you have to walk through the eyelash studio and sometimes people on the Pilates machines to get to the classes upstairs?

It seems a little strange to me. The lash studio is not part of Essence of Life either, I'm not sure if they are partners or not. There is a lot going on and the place is DIRTY! I've only been there once but I noticed dust clumps, hair and eyelashes on the floor during my quick visit. I don't think I would want to be walking around barefoot for a yoga class here. To each their own but I wouldn't recommend going here

Essence of life yoga studio was a referral to me from a friend. I had never done yoga before and was looking for a place that could help a beginner. From the moment I stepped into the studio I knew this was a place I would enjoy. The atmosphere was so inviting and everyone was welcoming! The instructor I had was excellent. She could easily handle my beginner level and give the more advanced people in the class what they wanted.

Over all my experience was the best ever and Essence of Life has ignited a passion for yoga inside me! I am always looking forward to the next class! I would recommend this studio to everyone that is looking for a great place to do yoga! Pilates is the next thing I can't wait to try at essence of life!

Great studio with a wonderful owner and teachers. The variety of classes can't be beat in the area.

This is such an amazing studio with such a warm and welcoming vibe! I started coming on Sundays to the donation hot yoga class and then went on to try their barre classes. They have several different types of yoga, Pilates, barre, And other classes. They host many wellness based events that I'm excited to try also. This really is a little oasis in such a small town. The owner is so incredibly kind, and with the classes being so great, you should stop by and try one out for yourself!

Great studio! My friend is a member and I did a drop in one Sunday for some lovely bikram. They have a Sunday class that is donation based! Winter it's inside, summer at a nearby park. Stars at 9am. Was so relaxing. The instructor is nice and very down to earth. Not up type yogis. Also she does other stuff like spin and mixes things up with date nights, wine and yoga, reformer and pilates! If I lived closer I would live here.
