Yoga near Wakefield

“All That Matters Yoga and Wellness has always had an amazing community. Thanks to the combination and dedication of staff, volunteers and community, and re-organized as a non-profit, it is still alive and serving the community. In the current world of affairs, it is a place of refuge, and for that I am grateful.“

“F.K.A. Rhode Island Yoga Studio. Bend Studio is located in the treacherous Emporium in the center of the URI campus. Despite being in the college hub, I don't think URI kids make up the majority of the students at Bend. I will make the journey to South County for Nicole Defelice & Isabella Sanderson, two instructors who teach regularly at Bend. Both primarily teach power vinyasa. Both play excellent music in the studio when they're teaching. Both are so joyful, challenging, & fun. Both are 2 of the best yoga instructors I've ever had the pleasure of practicing with. Nicole is a biologist & frequently weaves animal themes into her classes. She knows exactly how to explain micro-adjustments & motions that make the practice more accessible & enjoyable. I've unlocked advanced poses & maintained difficult arm balances thanks to Nicole's instructions. Isabella might be a sadist, but I say that in the most complimentary way possible. Her classes can be incredibly grueling, but if you stick with it, your endurance, strength, flexibility, & balance will improve immensely. Both Nicole & Isabella are the kinds of instructors you hope you're lucky enough to come across once in your lifetime. Somehow, Bend has secured them both. They're precious cargo. They also probably deserve a raise. Thank you, Nicole & Isabella, for nurturing my practice for years now. I never would've become the yogi I am now without the two of you. A note for the owner - I love the updates you've made to the studio over the last few years. My only humble suggestion is to put different lighting in the lobby/common areas. The fluorescents are painful.“

“I really enjoyed the 8am yoga on the beach! The instructor was so welcoming and gave great instruction (with lots of jokes throughout the class). The sequence was very accessible to all levels. I loved that we walked down to the water to complete the warrior sequence with the waves hitting our feet. I will be back!“

“I have found this yoga studio to be top-notch. All instructors are consistently positive and professional. I have seen all races and genders treated with respect and belonging. Special shout out to Dee. She rocks!“

“Practiced a few different types of yoga for years, nothing stuck for me. Found RI power about 7 years ago and practice there only. An exceptional experience every class. I highly recommend for beginners. Phil and Renee are outstanding teachers/leaders“
