Open Space Studio

Open Space is my #1 favorite business in Fairfield. Open Space has a wide variety of classes, and you can dabble in them all with the promotion that seems to run all the time: ‘$ 20 unlimited classes for a week.’ You can find more about that at their website:
If you are new to yoga asanas, I would recommend starting with one of the Moderate Hatha classes, but if you are not a novice, you’ll be comfortable jumping right into any of the vinyasa or hot yoga classes. The spin classes are fine for any level. If it is your first time to a spin class just let the instructor know and they will teach you how to adjust your bike. Similar to yoga, you get to decide how deep you go, by controlling the resistance entirely. If you’re pretty intimidated by spin, try one of Diana’s ‘Rolling Ride, Moderate Spin’ classes that she teaches in winter. Every teacher I’ve had at Open Space has been friendly and helpful. The fellow yogis and yoginis are also on the very friendly side. This is not just a place to practice yoga, it’s a place to meet like-​minded people in town.
I would highly recommend the 30 day challenges that sometimes run. In the past, I have done 6 week yoga bootcamps that help me develop my practice in impressive ways, but they also leave me with injuries, like broken fingers, which ultimately set me back. The Open Space 30 day challenge is more controllable, because you get to pick from any class each day, mixing in Spin and Restorative Yoga if you desire. I spent the first 25 days of this past challenge avoiding the ‘hot yoga’ classes, and then discovered it is one of my favorite things ever — at least this cold winter! I felt that the challenge was just as beneficial as the bootcamp to developing my yoga, the difference being that when the challenge was over, I am not sick of yoga or injured!
Open Space is a small business owned by a lovely Fairfield resident, Meghan. Open Space feels like a small positive community, one that you support and it supports you.
If it is your first time, you can park in the municipal parking area behind the building, where there is also a door from the back alley. Or, you can choose to park on the square. Parking is free and easy to find! In the warmer seasons, the central location make it a very easy place to walk to.
The only thing I would change about Open Space is to remove the studio mirrors. It takes me out of my practice to some degree, although, if I am honest it has probably helped me to become more aware of my alignment in some asanas. Alas, the world does not revolve around me!
