| - I can't even begin to describe my love for this place and the staff. I have been taking yoga classes here since 2009, and I am so lucky to have found Bodhi Tree. The staff is so amazingly friendly, and personable. Teachers take the time to get to know their students, and are very accommodating of different body types and injuries. Bodhi Tree has an adjuster program, so most busy classes have a teacher and an adjuster going around to help folks of all body types do poses safely and get the most benefit out of them. You'll often see the owners of Bodhi Tree around, teaching classes, getting to know their students and helping out when it gets busy.
The studio is so gorgeous. It is very spa-like in atmosphere, and one feels calmer and at peace just walking into the space. They have two rooms where classes are held - one that is bigger that holds classes such as Hot Foundation, Hot Hatha and Yang/Yin, and another that is a bit smaller and holds workshops as well as smaller classes. Bodhi Tree has so many dynamic class offerings, such as Core and More, Yang/Yin, Restorative, Yin, Shakti Spine Strength and Critical Alignment Therapy. They also host many workshops (and as someone who as attended quite a few, I gotta say, they all seem to be just as incredible as their class offerings!). Something that I really appreciate is that there are so many different classes offered. There are heated classes, non-heated classes and warm classes. There are classes that are well suited for beginners, or for folks who are not new to yoga, but new to hot yoga. There are classes for seniors, sometimes workshops for children, and classes for pregnant women and new moms. No matter what mood you're in, Bodhi Tree will have a class for you!
In my 6 years of practicing yoga at the Tree, I have taken classes with a lot of their teachers. Everyone has different styles, but I have never had a teacher at Bodhi Tree who's class I haven't loved. The teachers are all caring, accommodating and friendly, and really take the chance to get to know their students, answer questions, and help them in any way they can. I broke my foot in 2012, and the staff at Bodhi Tree was instrumental in my recovery. I had the opportunity to start practicing again while in the cast (just for the few weeks before I got it taken off), and during that time, the teachers whose classes I took were all helpful at offering adjustments and help so I could still practice. I also had the opportunity to do Yoga Therapy, which helped me a lot with some strength and flexibility after my injury. The teachers at the tree are just incredible at helping all students practice, no matter what's going on in their bodies. Also, the desk staff is always so friendly and helpful as well, and the owners are really incredible and have created an amazing community of love and support.
I feel so blessed to have been a part of the community at Bodhi Tree, and I really can't recommend them enough!
