Satya Yoga & Pilates Reviews

I have never left an unfavorable review before because I do not want to hurt anyone's business but I feel that I need to share my experience with Satya. I first met Melissa (owner) for a private lesson to go over my complex back issues and then I bought a package of group lessons. My issue is not with the Pilates instruction. I was very happy with the small classes and the personal attention and modifications Melissa made for me . My experience at Satya became an issue once I had several injuries that required me to freeze my package. After a 4 month recovery, I was told my package had expired. Melissa reluctantly allowed me to continue to use my lessons after clearance from a doctor which I received. The note ended up not being sufficient to her and I was asked to ask my doctor to write a more specific one. Without my knowledge , my package was only extended for 1 month. Before I had the chance to get another doctor note, I was told that my lessons would no longer be valid unless I chose to purchase another package. Melissa knew that I was expecting to have surgery soon so that would not make sense for me. I am very disappointed that the rest of my lessons weren't honored and I ended up losing $150. As owner of a Pilates studio that prioritizes health and wellness , I feel Mellisa did not do right by me. Consequently, Satya has lost a loyal client. I'm sorry to say I would not recommend Satya to any of my friends or colleagues.

I've been to a bunch of yoga studios over the years, and Satya Yoga just feels different—in the best way. Melissa knows her stuff, and it is a comfortable, clean studio.

Where do I begin? First off, Melissa is not only knowledgeable but passionate about bringing the authenticity of yoga to each student. She is beyond capable at all levels of difficulty as an instructor, but more as a true teacher to those who wish to learn yoga and teach it themselves. She is professional, understanding and somehow maintains the magic of being mom, business owner and friend. Note: I'm a complex student, with 2 back injuries she was not only able to help me learn to adapt my own yoga practice, but to also train me in Pilates EFFECTIVELY! To the point that I learned how to rehab my back, increase my core strength and learn the 'quiet' of yoga for me. I trust her to teach others who know nothing AND to teach others who have travelled around the world learning. Last thing: I would highly recommend her one on one sessions when she has them available. It is a unique, connecting and truly therapeutic experience. She brings so much more than experience, education and discipline to yoga (and Pilates.) With her background in dance she is incredibly perceptive and gets 'off the mat' to make sure each student's posture is correct for their body, to help them learn what is going to work for them. OH! And prenatal yoga! Ladies! If this applies to you, when Melissa has prenatal yoga classes, please consider it. These classes help with keeping you stable while your body changes for baby and really assists in cherishing and loving the beautiful body you have. I couldn't recommend her more. She is my first go to for advice, problems and anything relating to yoga and Pilates both.

I have been a yogi for over 25 years and I am so grateful to have found Melissa and Satya Yoga and Pilates. Her knowledge of all aspects of yoga and her ability to covey it all of us , no matter what our level of experience is a true gift. She has not only created a wellness center but also a community where all are welcomed. That is truly a gift.

I recently completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Melissa, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. Melissa’s depth of knowledge in yoga is truly impressive! She created a learning environment that was not only professional but also warm and supportive. She taught me what it meant to be a good teacher and gave me exceptional opportunities along the way! What made this training even more special was that Melissa was kind enough to mentor me in Pilates alongside yoga. I’m touched by her dedication and commitment to my growth, and I’m grateful for her guidance. I would highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to deepen their practice or pursue a career in yoga!

The yoga and Pilates taught here has completely changed my life. Melissa is one of the nicest, hardest working and dedicated teachers I have ever known and I am so thankful for finding Satya. She is not only a great teacher and extremely well versed in the practice of yoga and Pilates, she is very generous and gives back to the community by helping others and showing her love and appreciation of animals!

These classes with Melissa were the missing piece to my fitness/health journey. They were a great compliment to weight training in order to maintain flexibility and mobility. I found classes here to be much more rewarding and tranquil than a large franchise gym setting.

I was searching for a good Pilates instructor and Satya owner Melissa did not disappoint. The class is limited to just 4, possibly due to the pandemic. Melissa took the time to personally instruct each of us how to use the reformers taking into consideration individual limitations. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. 2 days later my body is sore in a good way. Maybe it's just in my mind but already I feel I'm standing straighter, holding my abs tighter and wanting to go back for more.

Melissa It is in everyone’s best interest to take Melissa’s amazing yoga class. She is an excellent instructor with amazing techniques. She personifies the true meaning of yoga which is about peace, honor, discipline and integrity. When I addressed a concern with one of her employees, Melissa immediately took action on my behalf of which I am very appreciative. Melissa has demonstrated true leadership skills and the true meaning of yoga which is honor and integrity.

I was fairly new to the practice of yoga when I started, and now I simply cannot get enough. This studio hosts a variety of levels of yoga practice, as well as Pilates, mat Pilates, and karate. The owner, Melissa, is super nice and always available to chat. Classes are held at convenient times throughout the day and into the evening, and you can pay per class or purchase packages to use over a set timeframe. Megan's mixed flow vinyasa class is fantastic - and I look forward to each one. Anyone looking to try yoga or to enhance and maintain their practice should visit. The studio is clean, and they provide mats, blocks, blankets if needed.

I have been going to Satya for 5 months now and I must say its the most welcoming space ever! from the owner to the staff, from the entire ambiance to the services, everything is simply amazing. I went there as groupon and I decided to be a member. I go there every week for yoga. They just introduced a massage therapist there too and its a wonderful thing to have right after a yoga class!
