Testimonials

"I attended the Zumba Gold (Low Impact) class this past Tuesday and LOVED it! "The instructor was delightful and the class was so much fun!  I have sung your praises to many of my friends this week and look forward to seeing you all next week. Not only was the class a welcoming place to be, but the environment at your studio as a whole was so pleasant---it made me feel right at home."

"Please let Katherine know how much I enjoy her class and what huge improvement I've seen... I couldn't do a couple push ups when I started.  Between my healthier diet, Yoga, and Indoor Fit Camp, since last year, I am down 48 lbs and gone from size 14/16 to my most recent jeans - size 6!  I feel strong and beautiful.  Yippee!"

"This place is GREAT! The classes are priced very fairly, and there is a great special for unlimited classes. They have also added punch cards, so you can pre-pay $95 for 10 classes. Syd, the owner, is the best!!! I am first trimester pregnant, and when I disappeared from class for a few days, she called to make sure I was okay. All the teachers I have had are great! They pay attention and are a wealth of knowledge."

"What an amazing surprise to find out that the best Yoga, Pilates, and Zumba studio is just a few blocks from my house.  BIG thanks to Syd for opening Joyful Yoga Studio, a place that truly promotes healthy fitness.  Instructors are FAB for all levels.   I appreciate the variety of classes & the convenient times.  I am so happy!"

"I have always wanted to try yoga. I was confused about the different options. I thought I might be too old!  It is so wonderful to discover your studio, and quite close to home, with super convenient class times for my New to Yoga and Gentle Yoga classes.  They are not only great for beginners but can be as advanced as you care to make them and give you a sense of the philosophy that has been behind yoga for centuries. I feel like, combined with my walking, I am getting a lot of health benefits. I wish you great success. " 

"This was the best day of my life, mom!" (A beautiful 9-year-old young lady, on the first day of Joyful Yoga's Spring Break Camp: Yoga, Drama, Zumba)

"This studio feels "joyful."  Staff members are welcoming.   The teachers are enthusiastic about their class."

"After I bought an unlimited class pass, I have been 'turned onto' Zumba and incorporate it into my daily exercise regimen along with yoga and pilates.  The instructors for all the classes are wonderful and student friendly.  After a hard day at work, I look forward to going to class, because I know I will feel more energized afterwards."

"I started taking classes at Joyful Yoga the first week it opened in January 2009.  I had been looking for a place like this for years.  It has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel you belong right away.  I love the variety of classes offered.  I’ve tried several of them and have found them all appealing and challenging.  This is the first time in my 48 years that I’m excited to work out. I actually look forward to it and plan my week around the classes I want to attend.  I have met some wonderful new people and feel a part of the community.  Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. "   

"I find that for me, I need a wide variety of different exercise options to choose from, and that makes me more successful.  I also notice that keeping track on a calendar makes me more committed to doing things.   When I get the monthly schedule from Joyful Yoga Studio, I take the calendar down off the wall, and write in what days I am going to do what classes or activities to do something every day.   It serves 3 purposes.  It is kind of a visualization of the whole month and what accomplishments I can make, it is "scheduled" so that other things do not roll over into that time, and at the end of the month I can see what I have accomplished vs. my goals.  Yes, I realize I am a lot more organized that a lot of people, I just do what works for me."   

Thanks again for starting such a great studio.  I really enjoy going each day;  you always make everyone feel like family. :) 

I love what we are doing to get stronger in the "Fitness Intensive" and "Yoga, Pilates, Toning" classes. I feel more vibrant.  I adore our instructor!  Syd, you have created a beautiful, inviting welcoming space.  You give so freely and openly to everyone who walks through the door. Thank you for what you are doing and who you are.  You are such a gift.  Thanks for believing in all of us! 

"I was nervous about returning to yoga after surgical treatment for breast cancer, but the knowledgeable and compassionate teachers at Joyful Yoga Studio gave me the tools and encouragement I needed to develop a yoga practice that has helped me heal and regain my strength.   I look forward to every class!"
