“My experience at EWC has been extremely impactful to my health and wellness journey. For several years I had been looking for a Pilates studio where I could focus on strength, balance, and stamina. For most of my adult life I have done high impact workouts that have had long term effects on my body. I was starting to realize that I needed to find a forever exercise that provided personal growth, while increasing my flexibility and strengthening my core. EWC has surpassed my original expectations! The studio environment at EWC is extremely welcoming and is unique with a variety of class offerings. Every instructor at EWC is passionate about their classes, provide unparalleled guidance and overall encouragement. The camaraderie of the studio environment makes each class exciting and different while allowing me to focus on improving my form and technique. I really can’t say enough positive things about EWC and their instructors.”

“I came to EWC over 4 years ago with some trepidation. I was in my 50’s and had no yoga experience. While I wanted to add it to gain flexibility to complement my cardio and muscle strength workouts, I wasn’t sure I could do it. Tami has set a warm, welcoming tone and stresses inclusion and allowing those practicing yoga to “do what is available”. The EWC instructors live that motto, too, with very accessible pose selections for sessions that I truly enjoy. EWC is my yoga home, and I encourage anyone to give it a try. ”

“At 42, I’ve never been consistent at any form of exercise in my life, and I wouldn’t consider myself the least bit athletic. However, I knew I needed to find something to help combat lower back pain flare-ups due to lack of core strength and an outlet to release the stress of a full-time career and busy family life. I would drive past EWC every day, and finally one day I convinced a friend of mine to join me to try out some private lessons. From the moment I walked into that first session- completely out of shape, unsure what a reformer even was, Tami and all of the instructors at EWC met me with encouragement and lots of grace. I started and never looked back. It’s the first exercise I’ve stuck with in my life, and I genuinely look forward to each of my session every week. I’ve gotten stronger, more flexible, and my back pain is completely gone. Additionally, it’s been the best stress release after a long day or week. EWC feels like a group of friends you get to come spend an hour with a few times a week. There is no competition- just encouragement. Every instruction has their own teaching style and with the range of different classes, I never get bored. I’ve found my place, and I’m so grateful. ”

“Eastside Wellness Connections has been an integral part of my full body recovery journey since 2018. When the MRI’s came back confirming that I have Osteoarthritis and a pinched nerve in my lower back, causing chronic daily pain at the age of only 40, I needed to find a program that would allow me to remain active, preferably with limited pain. The Reformer Pilates classes, expertly taught by the EWC team, have rebuilt my upper body, lower back and core strength to allow me to return to HITT programs that the doctors advised me I could never do again pain free or without surgery. Another joy since joining EWC is the ability to return to a yoga practice. During my wellness journey to become pain free, I have also had the pleasure to have multiple Energy Healing sessions with Bob Guard. That’s right, “Yoga Bob” does more than just teach yoga! Upon learning that Bob has been practicing Peruvian Shahmanism for almost a decade, and is also Level 3 Certified in Healing Touch Therapy, I felt compelled to meet with Bob for healing sessions. I could not be more thankful to Tami and the experienced instructors who have provided me the path to continue movement, pain free. If you are looking for a second home, for a studio who truly wants to help you recover from any injury, or simply provide you with amazing classes to keep you active along your healthy and fitness journey, I can only recommend seeing what EWC is all about!”
