Testimonials
Essence of Yoga is not just a yoga studio. It is not just a business. For me, Essence of Yoga is a family. From the very first time I walked in the door over eight years ago, I felt like I was home. I was very hesitant, as it had been recommended to me during a difficult period of my life and I said, “That’s not for me. I can’t do it. I don’t like exercise. I’m not flexible. I won’t like it.”
Well, here I am over eight years later, still practicing and I can’t picture life without yoga, but more importantly my EOY family. From Shirley, the owner, to all the teachers, and the amazing fellow yogis that I have met here, it has become my happy place. I started the practice to relieve stress, not realizing the benefits to my body and spirit as well. Yoga is for EVERYONE!! There is no competition, no judgement, and most importantly, you will find a group of supportive loving humans. There are classes for everyone and teachers always modify to meet you where you are. So please come visit Essence of Yogo Studio. You will love it!

Essence of Yoga has helped me feel my best and taught me to relax and meditate to better handle the stressors of life. I look forward to being in the studio and I always feel better when I leave. I’m so thankful and blessed to have to have found this gem so close to my home. I’ve been practicing for about six years and credit the studio with helping me gain flexibility, get stronger and manage stress.
The owner, Shirley, is professional and friendly and really cares about everyone who visits the studio. She makes you feel welcome and takes the time to get to know you. All the teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable and make you fell comfortable. They help ensure you are doing the poses correctly and are in alignment, and offer modifications along the way. I love the variety of classes and the workshops. Plus the fact that I have the option to take in-studio classes or on Zoom. I LOVE the studio and all the teachers and this special yoga community!!!
Thank you Essence of Yoga for all you do for my wellness!

I just wanted to sat “THANK YOU!” I’ve been coming to the Studio for one year now and it has been such a positive addition to my life (mind, body, spiritually). Yoga has taught me so much about myself and the Essence community is such a blessing and support to me! So again… thank you!

Joining the EOY community has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made. This is a great space to practice—both in-studio or virtually. Shirley and her awesome staff are all supportive and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed! All levels are welcome here. And, as Shirley will often say, “just because this is a beginner class doesn’t mean you can’t challenge yourself!” So very true! You will be amazed at how your inner soul shines through after each class. You will dig deep and find your true self. And… you will never feel better—spiritually, mentally, and physically! Endless benefits! Namaste.

I recently had a back injury that did not allow me to do much. I had to make major changes from practicing Yoga every day for years to re-learning how to practice yoga with all of the modifications to protect my back. Once I was ready to go back to the studio, I had no doubt Essence would teach me the correct way.
Sure enough, now I practice safely, I learned what I can and can’t do based on my injury. I’m so grateful to all the teachers at Essence especially the owner, Shirley, who goes over and above to help me and every one of her students. I can’t say enough about how thankful I truly am.
The Studio brings a friendly atmosphere from the teachers to all the students, making it extremely enjoyable to go to class. The teachers are all wonderful and very knowledgeable, and each one brings into each class an amazing energy, you will leave energized and peaceful.

My very first Yoga class was at Essence of Yoga in 2019. From the moment I walked in that door I was obsessed. The teachers, the space, and the people. I cannot imagine my life without my essence of yoga family.
