I have been going to Yoga Born for over 2 years now. Previously I had no experience with yoga but I have done many other types of exercise. There are many things I love about Yoga Born so I will share a few. Firstly there are a variety of levels of the class from beginners to advanced so I could progress at my own speed. Second each class has levels built into it and we are encouraged to "listen" to our bodies and decide for ourselves how much we want to do of each pose. Thirdly the instructors are all very good and very nice offering positive encouragement without pressure or judgement. I would encourage anyone, of any fitness level or age to try Yoga Born and see for yourself the benefit that can be derived from the practice. Also the people in the classes are fun and supportive making the whole experience both fun and enjoyable.

I’m truly enjoying my yoga born experience. Mixed class has worked wonders for my stiff body. I’ve been pain free for some time now and enjoying outdoor activities. The environment is friendly and the instrucotrs are caring. Dawn is a great instructor to work with. She provides simple and easy to follow instructions. I highly recommend it to anyone. Give it a try, you may like it too!!!

Update 5/9/18
Two years of practicing yoga at Yoga Born and I'm getting amazing results. First of all, I still love it! The staff and community are wonderful and supportive. I hate to exercise and have never stayed with an exercise routine for more than a couple of months. That's how much I enjoy practicing yoga at Yoga Born. I also love the results. The breathing techniques keep me relaxed. My balance and flexibility have increased tremendously. My core strength is increased - I actually have ab muscles that support me! One year ago I tripped and fell, fracturing 5 ribs and separating my shoulder. Thanks to my previous year of yoga, my recovery time was quicker and I had less problems during the recovery period due to the strength and stamina I had developed practicing yoga for a year. I returned to my practice as soon as I was able and worked on getting the strength and flexibility back in my shoulder. Because I snapped the ligaments, my AC shoulder joint will always look wonky. Thanks to yoga, it has been restored to about 98% of full operation. I can hardly tell how damaged it was. Yoga at Yoga Born has increased my quality of life. I'm hooked and will continue to practice yoga for the rest of my life. I'm not paying the price for good health, I'm enjoying the benefits of good health.

My Initial Review
I started practicing yoga at Yoga Born in March of 2016. My wife had been going for a year and encouraging me to join her. I regret I was so slow to take her advice. I LOVE yoga classes at Yoga Born! The instructors are all wonderful and supportive. They call it therapeutic yoga and I feel it's designed for regular folk like me. They guide you step by step through the various poses with the focus on being safe. Since starting I have seen a significant improvement in my strength, stamina, flexibility, balance and range of motion. My muscles are getting toned and I feel better all of the time. I had surgery for a torn meniscus and my knee has never felt this good. It's also a great community and I really enjoy the other people in my classes. If you've ever thought about trying yoga, or are looking for an enjoyable way to get into better shape, I highly recommend Yoga Born. If you do decide to visit I'll see you there!
UPDATE - Nine months of doing yoga 5 to 6 times a week and I'm feeling awesome! I hate to exercise so I've never been able to stick with any kind of exercise routine this long. I love yoga class and still look forward to each one. My flexibility, strength, range of motion and balance continue to improve. My goal is to be in the best shape of my life in 2017. I'm 60 years old so that's quite a goal. Thanks to Yoga Born, I'm sure I will achieve it.

I have been going to yoga born for about 4 &1/2 years and have loved every class that they offer. Sometimes I even go twice a day as I can't get enough of the quality yoga they offer. It's for every age and every ones individual bodies. Dawn and her family and staff have become part of my family. If your looking to feel better and meet some genuine wonderful people then you have found it. I have made so many wonderful friends there and they have stood beside me so many times. God bless you guys. Love Barb.

I have been to many yoga classes in various locations through (many!) years, but this is the first time that I've kept coming back. The Yoga Born classes are a wonderful combination of stretching, challenging and restoring. I always walk out glad that I put aside some much needed "me" time. There are times where I need the more challenging classes - and times where I need the more restorative classes. It is wonderful to have so many options with my monthly pass.

Very warm and friendly studio! I took a class and a workshop with Dawn. Loved the way she teaches yoga with everybody going at their own pace and based on their levels of practice. It felt very relaxing, and I loved the positive energy! We laughed and danced at the workshop, I haven't had so much fun with yoga for a long time! Would recommend to all the levels!

I am a newcomer to Yogaborn, but have been practicing yoga on my own for the past few months. I love the atmosphere that exists at yogaborn, from the studio, to the instructors, and the other yogis that I have shared a space with. I enjoy going to Yogaborn to expand my knowledge in yoga and add new moves to my practice. The instructors are very great at communicating the benefits, movements and breath cycles throughout the workout. As an introverted person I was hesitant to come to a group class but they are very good at accommodating for individual preferences. Great experience so far.

I have been coming to Yogaborn for 2 years. Before I came to yoga, I used to get out of bed in the morning with a very stiff back. After about 3 months taking yoga classes at Yogaborn I realized that I get out of bed pain free and happy ! I enjoy the kind and relaxed atmosphere. You can go to any class and modify it yourself to your own needs. There is no judgement on how you look.
My favorite class is Mixed Levels on Friday at 5. It's the perfect time and Heather is awesome. Most other Yoga studios in the area don't even have Friday classes.
There are several different ways to pay and may even be a better deal than most other studios.
