Balance Yoga & Fitness

It's been so refreshing to practice at Balance. I finally found a place that encompasses all of what yoga is. I am challenged physically, mentally and always hear a message that challenges me. Ive never taken classes somewhere where the teachers take each others classes, support each other and come to assist the yogis to reach their full potential in poses. Also, it's important to mention that it's not all about Yoga, it's about community. There are classes you can take, workshops, etc. I could go on and on about the Balance community, I've made new lifelong friends. It's a wonderful, warm, welcoming place for EVERYONE!

Are you unsure of what yoga studio to try? I was! Try Balance! About a year ago, I was new, no experience with yoga, and found the instructors, and whole environment, to be welcoming, and encouraging,. Now, Balance is my home.. I practice 4-5 x a week there, and have a unique experience each and every time I am there. The instructors are incredibly insightful and dedicated, and seem to know exactly what I need each and every practice. I cannot imagine a week without Balance! And the barre classes? Fun, and an intense workout all at once!

By the end of last summer, I felt like I was in a rut. The school year + summer school had been extremely challenging and busy. I needed something to get my brain back on track before meeting new students in the Fall, and I was also looking for something to make my body feel healthier, stronger. A friend of mine told me she had been doing yoga, and that I should try it. I was a little hesitant, since I knew NOTHING about yoga poses, and I definitely do not love change. But, I went to the class anyway. I sure wasn't graceful, or breathing right, or doing the poses correctly, or being mindful, but I felt great afterwards. I can't really explain the feeling, but I knew I wanted to try the class again. The more I went, the less I worried about being accurate and graceful. And Erica, ever so subtly, would tweak my pose when needed, without embarrassment. Several months later, I feel my body getting stronger, and my life "slowing down". And every message Erica shares, seems to be speaking right to MY heart. I'm so happy with my experience at Balance, I'd recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

I cannot even begin to express what an amazing community Erica Denman has created through Balance Fitness. It is a beautiful place to regain self awareness, practice mindfulness, and keep us on the path to whole hearted living. Her passion encompasses everything she offers from a yoga practice unlike any other, to events that inspire, uplift and gently remind us of the importance in caring for ourselves. Treat yourself either on the mat, or by attending one of her events. You'll be glad you did.

I began practicing yoga about 2 years ago. What I love about Balance is the fact that it is perfect for EVERYONE. Never been to yoga? Come. Been practicing forever...great, come. The hardest part is getting the courage to show up for the first time. But Erica and all the other teachers will help you with that too! My yoga is always with me. In my daily dealings with my 3 kids, I need my yoga breath. Teaching middle school, you better believe I need my yoga breath. I love the messages in the practices, and I love being able to help spread those messages to those I come in contact with. The best thing you can do is take time for you. Come to Balance. Choose LOVE. xo
