“I have enjoyed all of my classes at Summer Rain Yoga studio. In particular, Sophia’s Barre, Pilates and Yoga classes. If you want results and are looking for a challenging, but fun experience this is the place. Clean, modern facility with excellent and professional instruction. In addition, as a result of my classes here, everything I wear is loose on my hips. I’ve never been healthier and I don’t suffer from lower back pain anymore. All you need is the will and they will show you the way.”

"I have been a member of Summer Rain since it opened. I love the vibe of the studio that Summer has created. The teachers are phenomenal and they craft the poses and flow of the class so well. They also have modifications as needed. I look forward to attending the classes as it is a true yoga community."

"I joined Summer Rain Yoga in Sept. 2024 after searching for a small group yoga class. I wanted to learn about yoga and its benefits to help me bend, stretch, twist, and balance as I age. I immediately felt welcomed and the studio had adequate blocks and bolsters for support to help me learn. All the instructors share a high level of expertise, fun, and personal insight. For me, it’s an education unlike any other I’ve experienced. The music choices of the instructors add a special touch. My personal wins of yoga at Summer Rain include stronger legs, improved breathing, higher quality balancing, and better posture with shoulder mobility. I’m proud of my progress. My experience has been beyond spectacular."

“Small Pilates classes at Summer Rain Pilates mean I can receive individualized attention without the expense of personal training. Reformer Pilates at Summer Rain is a fun way for older people, like me, to build and maintain strength. Larger gyms can be intimidating when you’re surrounded by lots of young, ‘fit’ men and women. The small classes at Summer Rain provide a comfortable space for people of all ages and capabilities.”

“As a recent college grad who grew up moving my body in structured, intentional ways, I really appreciate how mindful and thoughtful each class at Summer Rain Yoga is. The instructors take such care with our bodies, and it shows. Since going consistently, I’ve started to see muscle definition I haven’t seen in years, and I feel stronger and more confident than ever.”
