Essence Mind • Body Studio

Sep 2021

This studio is amazing. The way Diana explains things is so easy for anyone trying to learn. Also if you are new to a group class she will also try and give extra explanation for any new stretches. I love the small class size. It makes things much more comfortable and you still get some one on one attention if you aren't posing quite right. Diana takes her time in each class to explain the why's and how's of every pose every movement and why it is so important to always maintain proper form. She is the most knowledgeable instructor I have ever had in that she just doesn't instruct a class - she teaches classes from her extensive knowledge of how the body works. She has adjusted my body more than once and has given me a set of exercises to do at home. My own Chiropractor endorses her. Honestly I would personally seek Diana's assistance in diagnosing something that is causing me pain - I love to hear her opinion. I have been a client at Essence for over 4 years - Diana and her staff have never been anything but kind to me. Since starting at Essence I eat healthier and have lost weight. I feel great and have made some friends along the way. During COVID she was one of the first studios to offer "zoom" classes and she did it from her heart only charging $5 or donation for classes. As for cleanliness - I am not sure where or when the pictures were taken in the previous comment - is it even at Essence please provide proof. The Essence I attend is extremely clean and tidy. From my experience signing up for class online is easy - then I go to the studio and I have never I mean never had an issue of the door being locked when I get there at the start of class. Also if you can't reach the studio just a hint - there is always someone answering the phones on Monday morning. And whenever I I can't reach someone I have left a message and they call me back within 24 hours at the most. From my experience Essence studio has had to do a lot of adjusting because of COVID. But haven't we all..... haven't most businesses - especially small businesses - it has been a time of adjustment for all of us. Above all Essence has helped me to achieve a sense of gratitude and patience.

I have been a long-timer with essence. I appreciated how the studio dealt with the challenges of COVID and always felt very safe there when attending in person. The staff are very knowledgable and I consider many of them friends now. The atmosphere is truly something you have to feel in person to understand; it's like home to me, and even my kids appreciate the vibe there! I have earned my 200 hour yoga certification and am currently working on my 300 hr... in addition to having attended countless classes, workshops and trainings. This studio, under Diana's leadership and deep expertise is at the forefront of true health + wellness. We are so lucky to have this in NWOhio and I have found it invaluable.

I have been taking classes at Essence for over 3 years. The variety of classes, the friendly staff, the professional, knowledgeable instructors are a few of the many reasons why I love this studio.
