Fresh Yoga

I have found Fresh Yoga to be a "full service" yoga studio. They offer classes in many different types of yoga styles. This allows me to learn from different modalities of practice in order to better myself. I like the fact that there are always special events going on, which feature many nationally recognized instructors. The staff of instructors are the best in the area. If you take time to talk with them, you would find they have themselves been practicing for many years. I like thisthey can help me meet my challenges in my own practice because they have many of their own experiences from which to draw upon to help me. I believe there is no place in the New Haven metropolitan area that can offer such a wide variety and a consistent high quality level of instruction. This is the place I choose to develop mind, body and spirit.

I have been practicing yoga for almost 20 years now (7 years at Fresh) and travel an hour and fifteen minutes each way to attend weekly classes there. This past year, at 61, I have successfully rehabbed a full hip replacement under the guidance of Heidi Sormaz, owner and teacher at Fresh. Heidi handpicks her instructors based on her own high standards of experience, skill and dedication to the practice. At Fresh Yoga you will learn to breathe through challenging, interesting classes that are safe at every level. If you are looking to deepen your practice, mindfully, and expand yourself, I highly recommend trying Fresh. In my opinion it is the best yoga studio in CT.

Fresh Yoga has the best teachers in the New Haven area; very knowledgeable and helpful no matter what your level of practice. There are a variety of classes to choose from, at various times of day and at both locations (they have two studios). I practice at Fresh regularly and highly recommend the studio to anyone interested in trying yoga or more experienced folks.

If you don't expect much, you will not be disappointed in Fresh. A few teachers are good, most are average. You will practice yoga here, but you will not deepen or refine it. No teacher provides physical corrections or extensive tips on alignment, positioning, etc. Most do the same each session each time, with little variation or creativity. And they have an unkind policy on class cards--no matter how good the reason if you don't use them by expiration date, you lose them--no exceptions. The two locations make Fresh attractive but it is a distant second to the other major studio in town--Breathing Room

Once you start practicing at Fresh Yoga, you will have a hard time going to any other Yoga studio in New Haven and Fairfield County CT. Simply the best place I have practiced Yoga in CT! Fresh Yoga is as close to a perfect Yoga class I have experienced! I have practiced Yoga for 15+ Years, IMO It's like Skiing in Colorado (Breckenridge) for a week and coming back to Ski in Vermont, both good both different, just a bit more polished and the powder puts you over the top pun intended! Seriously, take one of Peg's classes and you'll understand what I am saying! She is a Rock Star/ Guru..... Thanks Fresh for saving me a trip, the gas, the train ride, to NYC!
