I've been going to Essence of Life - Shorewood for about 3 or 4 years. Not sure how I would have made it through the pandemic without them. I haven't met an instructor yet that I haven't connected with on some level. Taryn's energy is in your face and challenges you to be the best you can be. Becca's energy is like a wonderful hug from your favorite person and challenges you to relax and be present. Andrea's energy and class reminds you what yoga is all about, brushing off the stress of the week and getting your body back to relaxation. Tori's energy is fun and engaging, she brings you to that place of why haven't I been doing this more often. You'll love your experience at Essence for so many reasons! I can't say enough good things about the great instructors I now consider friends.

I just wanted to say that I have been seeing Jodi for almost a month now and I am so grateful. I am a busy business owner who rarely has time for ME. Since I have been doing Pilates with Jodi I feel great both mentally and physically. If I am having a bad day she has the right things to say but also provides a great workout so I can feel good physically as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking into investing into themselves as it is so worth it.

I've been twice now for Becca's hot yoga session on Monday evenings. She leads you through a different flow each time. She is very good about easing into the practice, makes it challenging, and then eases to a nice finish. I appreciate that she has a good mix of stretching and then some challenging holds or poses that help you push yourself to new limits and build strength. She also provides options to make the poses easier or more challenging depending on how you're feeling that day. The ambience of the studio is very cute, clean, and there is a nice scent to the room. The heat gets up to about 99 so you get a good sweat from the hot yoga session as well. I will be back and excited to attend some of the other classes they offer!

From starting here as a moderate beginner in yoga; the variety of classes and experienced instructors has lead me so much further in my practice. The kindness and cleanliness of the environment is a huge plus, but not only that; the spiritual guidance and understanding from the head instructor, Jodi, takes EOL to a different level. If you are ready for a physical and mental transition, you need to look no further.The staff and members of Essence of Life really turn into family. It's such a positive and healthy environment, that one can really enjoy the extra workshops and events that this family has to offer. Highly recommend!
