I wanted to get back into yoga. I just got home from my first Self Care Sunday with Andrea. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

I loved everyone I met. The ambiance was so peaceful & healing. I am new to yoga & it was perfect for me but there is still room to grow with the wide variety of classes available.

Danny and I went to a new studio while on tour with our band. It was his first yoga lesson and everyone was lovely and so welcoming. Great restorative practice at great pace for a beginner but with options to amp up your practice. We'll definitely be back on our next tour!

EssentialZen offers a good variety that allows all yogi levels an opportunity to further develop their yoga practice. The teachers also vary the content of their classes which keeps each class interesting. Teachers and practitioners are respectful of each person's abilities.

I know Kris the owner, and I have lost my touch with yoga and yesterday's class was restorative yoga which is what I absolutely needed to meditate and move slowly to find my center and grounding again. The studio is always clean and calm, and the instructor yesterday was phenomenal!

I read reviews online and sent them an email because I had a few questions. Within 20 minutes Kris the owner called me and was very welcoming to someone new like myself. I set up a class time for the next day and didn't know what to expect. I was a little nervous coming in and everyone there made it feel like home. I have really enjoyed my experience so far and would recommend the EssentialZen Yoga Studio!

I have tried many yoga studios. Some can be intimidating. Essential Zen is the opposite of those. A warm, calm, laid back studio. Great teachers and so many options to find your zen. This has been my go to studio for the last year. I highly recommend.

I felt very welcomed at the studio in my first visits and the instructors are great! I have really enjoyed the Mat Pilates class and Explore Yoga class. They were both challenging, but the modifications from instructors really helped and I left feeling great. I would definitely recommend EssentialZen! 😊

When COVID came we were without a studio and we have practiced for over 8 years. We found EssentialZen because our instructor Mary moved to this studio . We love this studio now - we do zoom only but they are organized and ready for every class.
We look forward to the in studio classes in the near future. Highly recommend !

Each and every trainer truly cares about their attendants and all the staff are extremely friendly. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in through the doors. Each of the classes that I have taken so far has been with 3 different trainers, and each one of them is extremely friendly and truly hopes to see each of their attendants enjoy their class. Each class is very enjoyable and welcoming and leaves you with that exact same calm-and-curated feeling after every session.

I had a great experience here. I have gone to three classes with three different instructors. All three were very helpful. The one class I went to was a bit above my skill level and the instructor helped me by walking me through the move I couldn’t follow. Everyone was very friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed each class I have attended.
