Lifesource Yoga & Bodyworks

I’ve taken a few yoga classes here and there, but never at an actual studio. I was expecting a bunch of stuffy rich people with designer yoga clothes that were going to turn their noses up at me for being the new person but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The lady at the desk was so kind and gave me a tour of the place, as well as told me exactly what to expect as far as classes, where to put my things, and even recommended other classes to me based on my skill level.
The following two things about Lifesource impressed me the most, and they are the reasons I will continue to go back:
1) the quick response I got when I emailed the owner with questions — she was happy to hear from me, and cared about my concerns. Not too common these days.
2) the variety and quantity of classes they have that meet my schedule! I don’t get home until 5:15 and still have at least 3 classes to choose from every evening, not to mention the weekend classes.
Highly recommend!

I wanted to wait to write my review after having taken a months worth of classes. I am happy to say that my opinions of the studio have only improved because my experiences this past month solidified the positive first impression I had on the day I walked in after seeing a sign posted outside.
I have taken a range of the beginner classes, including gentle yoga, intro to yoga, yoga basics, and the amazing restorative classes, which are offered several times a week.
I could write pages about how much I love this place, but I will try to keep this brief.
First of all, the studio is a warm, cozy, inviting environment, and I always immediately become more relaxed by just walking in. The front area has tons of yogi apparel and accessories for sale, and I love the convenience of that. Both of the practice rooms are tastefully, yet simply decorated and the dimmed lights and candles give the rooms a vibe or relaxation and quiet focus.
I have taken classes with Melissa and Tricia and I hope to get around to taking classes with the other talented instructors at the studio. The real star, however, is Debbie. As the Brian mentioned, Debbie is one of the warmest, most friendly, genuine people I have met and she welcomed me with such kindness to the area and to the studio on the day that I happened to walk in. She truly cares about each and every person who walks into the studio and she takes her time to make sure you are properly aligned and doing each move correctly when you take her classes. She makes you feel comfortable with trying new things, but she is respectful of personal limitations and varying levels of expertise within any given class.
I always leave Lifesource with a renewed sense of calm and relaxation and I am excited to make this place a part of my life here in Akron. I will certainly be extending my membership.

Best yoga studio in the Akron area!!! Debbie and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and they will design a practice that fits your exact needs and goals. Additionally, Debbie is the sweetest, most compassionate yogi I have even encountered. She genuinely cares about every client. Her amazingly contagious energy fills the studio.
They offer a variety of practice options, and even have yoga for kids and seniors. I really think this is just another reflection of Debbie’s loving outlook on life and the practice of yoga.
Great value, great experience, and even better service. You will not be disappointed!
