“I have worked with Jake, Sara and Elaine at Optimal Wellness since January 2024. My advice is: Book the appointment and get started with this group. This place has completely changed my approach - for the best- to recovering from a 2 year old knee surgery. I plan to work with this group for a very long time !Since my first session in January with Jake, my mobility, flexibility, strength and pain management have all improved exponentially. My knee flare ups no longer sideline me for a few days after a hike or jog. I am returning to running safely with Jake’s knowledge and guidance. He gives me different exercises to incorporate into my training. He knows what he’s talking about and what he’s doing ! I can’t say enough about how smart he is. I wished I had started working with him 2 years ago, but I am loving the process of making up for the lost time at Optimal Wellness.Sara’s yin yoga classes are a complete escape into a calming, relaxing space for the hour of class. Her calming energy is palpable and I felt great for days after the long held poses. She helps you settle in for a deeper stretch by offering to assist with touch if you’d like.I just had a massage with Elaine the other day- she has superior knowledge of the body and how the fascia, muscles and ligaments all work together. We worked together during the massage which was a really cool experience. She would guide me through certain movements while she applied pressure and I could literally feel the tension release in real time. She also took the time at the end of the session to show me a few things I can do at home with easy to find props.This place is a haven for pain management, and mobility improvement and as we know, those things combined help to improve your mood, soul and mind. I am so happy I found this place and forever grateful for their services. Thank you Optimal Wellness !“
“I love Rachael and the Berkshire Yoga Dance & Fitness community!! Great classes (for all levels), wonderful instructors, a safe space, and a beautiful community to practice with. Thank you Rachael and the BYDF family!“
“There are no words to describe how incredible Bridget’s massages are. I suffer from chronic lower back pain so this was exactly what I needed. Can’t wait to go back.“
“I cannot use enough superlatives to describe time spent with Johanna. Her approach to massage and bodywork is unique, as she uses different massage modalities during a session and seems to intuit where your body needs special attention. She has such a calm and lovely demeanor and knows how to make her clients relax and open up to the experience. I have been so amazed by her work that I am now also learning yoga from her and we are incorporating that practice into our sessions together. She is a gem!“
“What a lovely yoga studio! Beautiful and soothing space. Sue led us in an awesome practice (slow is not easy) and her voice and cues were perfect. I think I slept (and maybe snored) in Sivasana. Whenever I'm around here again, I will make sure to practice at Lenox Yoga. Thank you!“
“My Wife Rachel and I were away for the weekend visiting Lenox for the first time and both have very stressful jobs in healthcare. Jennifer was able to accommodate us both for separate 60 min consecutive massages on Saturday afternoon and we both must say, we received the best massage we have each ever have had!! Jennifer is an extremely talented and professional licensed massage therapist who makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and absolutely rejuvenated when you leave!! We are going to make it a point to travel back to Lenox every other month moving forward just to have Jennifer work her magic again!!“
“Great place for my little girl to learn how to dance. Staff is really helpful and does an amazing job with all the kids!“
“A total gem! They’ve been through many transitions in the past few years but this community is still just so lucky to have this center here.“
“Beautiful studio. Very clean and perfect atmosphere for relaxation and meditation. Excellent instructors.“
“Abby came to teach yoga on our wedding day! We had rented an estate for all of our guests, and she came early to set up, brought excellent music, and had all of the mats and supplies needed for a class of 20 people. She was very friendly and gave clear instruction for a gentle class for a mixed group. Thank you!“
“I saw Donna with a torn meniscus after working with a physical therapist. She helped take me to a new level of healing. Donna combines expertise in her craft with a finely tuned sense of intuition. I highly recommend her to anyone who has pain or just wants to enhance their well being.“
