fantastic place to learn and practice yoga

by kiihime

I had never tried yoga before. I was a little intimidated, because I am overweight. I love going to Balanced Body. The studio is beautiful with great teachers. The beginning class is slower and highly focused on learning how to do the poses right, why that way is right, and centering oneself. It doesn't matter what level of fitness you at at. Stiff and out of shape? Kat has a modification of every pose for you. Flexible, strong, with great stamina, she has a modification for you too. Overweight, pregnant, old injuries, it doesn't matter. All the teachers at BBY will help you find the place you personally need to practice and improve. The atmosphere is very supportive and calm. There is never any judgment or competition. Friday gentle classes are not only gentle, but fun and informative about the traditions of yoga. Kat and all the other teachers place a big emphasis on doing what you feel is right, what your body is telling you is right. This not only helps prevent injury, it creates a place where anyone, no matter what level, can learn and enjoy yoga.

BBY is also affordable. The prices are low and you definitely get more than what you paid for.

I also visited one of their massage therapists, Jessica. Very affordable massage with a sweet and kind therapist who does a great job while making you feel comfortable. Even if you are a really modest person who doesn't like the idea of being without clothes, consider giving Jessica a try. You have the option of the towel-over-the-bum but also a sheet. If you opt for the sheet, only the specific area the therapist is working on will be exposed. Everything else is covered.

In summary, a wonderful place for beginning or advanced yoga and great affordable massages.

• Pros: knowlegable understanding instructors, great supportive atmosphere, practice for all levels of experience
• Cons: it is in cedar park, which is pretty far north for me

This is the place for me!

Never in my life had I done Yoga. I started out in the beginner class and have completely learned the benefits and the core principals of yoga. Kat has explained all of the poses and what they are used for in great detail and in layman's terms so that there is no confusion.

I had lower back pain and a slow metabolism before yoga. Now I am more flexible, the pain has subsided and I feel like I my energy level is much higher throughout the day. I will without a doubt keep practicing yoga until I get so old that my knees quit working, I'm hooked! I highly, without a doubt, no hesitation recommend Balanced Body Yoga for all levels! I FEEL MUCH BETTER!

The studio is very warm and unique. From the time you walk in the door and notice the very pleasant and inviting reception area, you will feel like you belong. Everything about this studio is very calming from the music all the way to the custom murals and art on the wall. I learned that the artist is the owner of the studio, and I must say there is some serious effort into making me feel welcome.

• Pros: Great class size, personable attention, price is more than alright.
• Cons: need more morning classes
