Ahhh Sweet Balance

I’m not an avid yoga participant, mostly due to my own packed schedule, but when I can, I try to take a class at Ahhh Sweet Balance. I’ve done the pilates class which I loved, albeit, I was in pain for 2 days, but a good pain :) Most recently they have added some fun classes, such as the mom-​daughter yoga class which we loooove! It fits my schedule, it was so fun and I love introducing my daughter to yoga. We are taking another class tomorrow and can’t wait!

This is an update to my review. I have continued going to Ahhh Sweet Balance and I love it even more. I have taken a variety of classes with the different instructors and have challenged myself. Every instructor that I have had, has been outstanding. The classes are challenging but the instructors take everyone’s individual needs into account. Classes seem to fly because there is such a variety in every class. I’m so happy that I found Ahhh Sweet Balance and I’m glad that they found me. I’m such a big fan of the classes and the wonderful instructors that I have in the classes.

Chanelle is awesome. I love her style and her yoga is among my favorites. I’ve been following her yin for over a year and recently branched out to other classes at her new studio which is lovely. My favorite combo is Saturday mornings. I can burn some calories in strength and surrender and then get all zen in gentle stretch. Chanelle also has workshops on meditation, essential oils, pain relief, etc. and she has plans to add more exciting things like a book club and virtual classes! She is very passionate and interested in the wellbeing of her clients. I’m sure the other instructors at the studio are great as well. Also there is a spa too which I need to check out!!!

If you’re looking for something special (one that will keep you coming back), I highly recommend trying a workshop or class at Ahhh Sweet Balance. It’s a studio like no other (and that’s a good thing)! Chanelle incorporates different modalities into the practices she shares, and each class is different from the last. Never repetitive, always unique.
She has a gift of combining both the mind and body experience for each class, expanding our practice beyond the norm.
I always leave feeling SO much better than when I came in. I have never been disappointed. All levels welcome (really — there is NO comparison to other places); adjustments are made and suggested. I do not feel I have to be anything other than myself and go at my own pace.

Chanelle was the makeup artist at my wedding two weeks ago, and she did an amazing job! She really listened to what I wanted, and the results were perfect. I’d recommend scheduling a trial with her so you can get an idea for what you’re looking for — I wouldn’t have known what to ask for if I hadn’t done one. Plus, it’s fun! She did my makeup, my mom’s makeup and my sister’s makeup on my wedding day, and everyone was thrilled. In addition to being good at what she does, she’s also pleasure to talk and work with. Her demeanor and style puts you at ease, which is important on your big day!

The yoga practice that Chenille provides allows each student to challenge and push their body to extraordinary limits on the mat. After each class I feel more aligned and stronger. I highly recommend her Yin Yoga too. It helps to make the mind and body relax after a challenging workday!

Do it with me: deep breath and then
Ommmmmmmm
I have been following Chanelle’s Yin Yoga workshops held at different studios around the north shore since the beginning of 2015. Then the best news ever… she opened her own studio in Wakefield.
It was after my first visit to one of her workshops that… bam… I became in instant devotee! Yin yoga is just what I need, I have a bad lower back that twinges, sometime goes into spasms, and makes it hard to stand up straight right away in the morning. I have been to a physical therapist but it did very little for me to put it kindly. The medication I was prescribe was nice, but it didn’t do a lot for me long term. I was given a list of stretches to do at home, but meh, it’s just hard to understand if you are doing them right without guidance, not to mention finding the motivation.
Since I began Chanelle’s Yin, I have noticeably improved my back; seriously I was always aware of my back discomfort and kind of guarding it. Now I’m not aware of my back, I don’t really think about it, except to know that I must continue my sessions of yin. Because they have become more than stretching or physical therapy, they are a huge part of my wellness altogether. Time for me, self-​care, meditation and on and on.
I still plan to occasionally follow the travelling yin yoga around the north shore but I am loving the Main St. location.
I just can’t say enough about how truly wonderful these classes have been for me both inside and out!
Now put your hands together at hearts center, bow and …
Namaste!
