Sage Studio

Wonderful! My sister and I have been wanting a yoga studio in Springfield (that would rival my personal experience in Buffalo, NY) and it looks like we’ve found our home.
We went to a level 1 Vinyasa class on a Saturday morning and were greeted by Shane. There were about 5 other participants and it was clear everyone knew each other. There was a wonderful atmosphere of camaraderie among the members, but even as guests my sister and I didn’t feel excluded. In fact, afterwards a few of the members stuck around and talked with us, which was so nice!
Shane was great. He’s more outgoing than yogi instructors I’m used to, but it was still a pleasant experience, just different. He led the moves and on occasion walked among us, adjusting some individuals where it was really needed, but mainly he left us to our own devices. He noticed the entire class was doing a move a particular way, so he walked us through how it should look, then we worked through it again, and everyone nailed it and we moved on. He worked through moves at a great pace, and then demonstrated a more advanced pose if someone wanted to try for it, which 2 participants did, so it was certainly welcomed; he really knows how to read a room. There was even a few minutes of him leading a meditation moment, encouraged focused breathing, and began and ended with some mind clearing ‘oms’, which I personally really enjoy.
The level 1 class was great. While I didn’t exactly break a sweat, there was nothing basic about it. As I’m writing this review the following day, I can feel the work out all throughout my body, which I really needed and have very much missed from my favorite studio in Buffalo (East Meets West Yoga on Elmwood Ave in North Buffalo). My sister and I are really happy with it and we took the paperwork to sign up for the monthly automatic withdraw for unlimited monthly access. The class times work really well with our work/​school schedules, so we feel really good about getting our money’s worth, they provide bolsters, yoga blocks, and blankets (bring your own mat), and everyone is just so welcoming that we’re excited to join! If you’re looking for a yoga studio where you feel like you can belong, try this place out: their schedule is on their website and to drop in and try a class is $ 10 – it was definitely worth it!

Very happy with this studio. It is authentic Yoga at it’s best. They offer class 7 days a week with many workshops during the month.
