After nearly six years in its Atlantic Avenue location, residents continue to come from all over to get centered with FreeSpirit Yoga. Since its humble beginnings ten years ago FreeSpirit Yoga has gone from a rented church space to the renovated studio in the heart of Bixby Knolls, enlightening clients with the respite its classes have to offer.
FreeSpirit Yoga’s schedule features classes for a variety of levels, from beginner to advanced, as well as some classes that are appropriate for everyone. They also specialize in prenatal, mommy-and-me and yoga for kids.
In addition to classes, FreeSpirit Yoga organizes a series of workshops and retreats such as Intro to Yoga, where students learn the history, purpose and benefits of yoga and Yoga Tools for School Teachers, which is designed to show K-12 teachers, yoga instructors, health professionals and parents how to use breathing practices, yoga asanas, games and relaxation to enhance classroom management and create a more productive learning environment.
Stressed-out shoppers can stop in–there’s ample parking in the rear–and unwind with a class, then cross some names off their shopping list by picking up a few gift certificates. Guests can also choose from the selection of accessories, which are on sale for 10-percent off and available in their new store lobby, which was redone just last year to give the room a warmer, more inviting aura.
In spite of the many obstacles faced throughout the years, “We’re still here,” said FreeSpirit Yoga owner Andrea Testa, who credits the success of the studio to its qualified, experienced, dedicated staff. “We are just happy to be able to share the benefits of yoga with the people of the community.”
FreeSpirit Yoga is located at 3910 1/2 Atlantic Avenue in Bixby Knolls.
