In this city of yoga-addicts, venturing into a big yoga class at a big gym can be scary. What if you don’t execute the perfect downward dog? Or what if you are a pilates devotee and not so sure about yoga?

The owners of the Joschi Body Bodega, Joschi and Monika, put a lot of effort into creating a studio with a relaxed, inviting, family feel. There’s no loud aerobics going on in the next room, and there’s no set program. Instead, members can take a variety of classes with a variety of exertion levels, including vinyasa yoga, pilates, conditioning classes, and a series of signature classes. One of these signature classes, Energy Balancing, includes innovative wholistic techniques such as light therapy, aromatherapy, and music therapy into a yoga class, aiding in deep relaxation.

The studio is rounded out with changing rooms, cubbies, fresh towels, a shower, yoga mats, and a private training room. Joschi hopes to expand into training other teachers and incorporating new and innovative techniques into the schedule. There are several levels of membership (unlimited, per class) and the personal attention ensures they’ll work with you to help you design the program that fits your lifestyle.
