Our wide variety of teachers and class types including Yoga, Barre, and Pilates are structured to fit all learning types and abilities. Our studio is designed to embrace the beginner’s journey or to come alongside the expert, providing you with the tools you need to care for yourself for a lifetime of practice and peace. The yoga tradition is deeply rooted in self-awareness. This practice encourages deep breathing, focus, and cultivating attention for our minds and bodies. We live in such a demanding world in which we give outwardly so often that we forget to ask ourselves what we need, whether that be physically, emotionally, or mentally. Our practices provide the space and structure for you to reconnect with yourself. This is why we take time in each class for Savasana, a period of relaxation and rest. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming space where students can explore their own movement while also gaining a deeper appreciation for what it means to be present with themselves. We work to create harmony between the mind, body, and spirit to introduce students to the peace they already hold inside themselves. https://www.balancewf.com/reiki daily 0.75 2025-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3b317ca81fe66b1d34ba99/1583955776415-ZSUQKDR4XFLQQBNJF2SB/Reiki%2Bhands%2BII%2B2000%2Bwide.jpg Reiki - What is Reiki? Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing and allows the body to do its own restoration. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “vital energy“. During a private Reiki session the client lies down fully clothed on a massage table, bed, or sits in a chair. The practitioner will place their hands slightly above the clients body including areas around the head, shoulders, stomach, legs, and feet, with the intent to channel the universal healing energy, Reiki. Once the client receives the energy, their body is able to do some very deep, restorative and healing work. All that is needed for Reiki to be effective is for the client to feel open to receiving the benefits of the healing energy. Most patients report feelings of relaxation, and patients may fall asleep during a session. How does Reiki work? Reiki supports a healthy uninterrupted flow of our vital energy to assist the body in its own restorative processes. Reiki is not a religion and does not require belief in anything for it to work. All that is required for Reiki to work is a sincere desire from the client to invite more peace into their lives. Benefits of Reiki -Lessens physical pain and discomfort -Assists with the symptoms of chronic and acute diseases -Supports the body's natural ability to heal itself -Provides emotional support and well-being -Helps reduce stress and promote relaxation -Enhances vitality, confidence and joy -Inspires an alignment with your life purpose -Supports the strengthens of the immune system How to book?

It was part of the many fitness classes offered, and she felt very odd and out of place (in the case of step class, out of pace) in most of them. At the yoga class, however, the strangeness appealed to her (“I didn’t know my body could do that,” she says), as did the peace she felt during and after class—even as the weights came crashing down on the gym floor outside the studio room. Since then, Tina has continued to be a student of yoga. In Arizona, which included a community college course that incorporated yoga philosophy as well as asana. This gave her a different perspective on exercise as a whole. In the past, such things she thought she “should” be doing for her health felt like punishment. Yoga was different. Tina continues to be interested in understanding what happens in the mind, body, and spirit that gives people that sense of peace, as well as physical strength, flexibility, and stamina. She took this interest to the fullest extent yet in 2020, when she began her yoga teacher training right here at Balance! Although the course became additionally challenging due to a worldwide pandemic, Tina feels that giving her focus to the practice of yoga during that time allowed her to find a sense of peace that she may have been lacking otherwise. She received her200RYT from Yoga Tree earlier this year. Since Tina has been a member of Balance since its opening in 2015, she is so grateful the studio continues to thrive and has taken her on as an instructor. “It really feels like I get a chance to become whole each day,” she says, “I have a passion to help others find that wholeness within themselves as well.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3b317ca81fe66b1d34ba99/3d6f9fa6-80ab-4e02-bb90-71ee274136aa/CD1A0041.jpg Our Instructors - Caitlin Doty Caitlin believes yoga has transformed her life both mentally and physically.
