Had an awesome first experience at pilates w/ Tedde! Really tough!
Response from the owner · a month ago
We're so happy to hear that you had a great first experience. :-) Tedde is definitely one of our most challenging instructors, but her classes are worth the BURN!

I can’t say enough about Jonathan after taking several classes here I definitely know that I am in the Right Place. Jonathan was exceptional. He took it to the next level with educating us on our bodies, movements and why. I was very impressed. So happy I found Ekam

I truly enjoy Huma’s yoga classes and always look forward to them. She consistently introduces new and challenging poses that help us grow and improve our practice while keeping every class fresh and engaging.
Her workshop was incredibly educational, and I learned techniques that have made a real difference in my yoga journey. During class, Huma is very attentive and proactive, taking the time to help each student achieve proper alignment and posture. Her guidance is encouraging, patient, and personalized, making everyone feel supported regardless of their experience level.
Huma’s passion for teaching and genuine care for her students create a welcoming and motivating environment. I highly recommend her classes and workshops to anyone looking to deepen their practice and continue growing as a yogi

Sarah Ramos crafted a stellar class today. Top notch playlist, excellent sensitivity to the room, lovely sequence. 10/10 recommend Taking her class. Missing one star because the facility shower had next to no water pressure & the women's/men's locker is combined. No such thing as unisex guys.
Response from the owner · 3 months ago
Thank you so much for your kind words about Sarah! 🤍 We're thrilled you enjoyed her class, and we'll be sure to pass along your sweet feedback. She'll be so happy to hear it! We also wanted to clarify that our women's locker room is exclusively for women. We do have a separate co-ed, ADA accessible shower room, which may have been the space you saw. We're sorry if that wasn't clear during your first visit. We'd love to give you a proper tour next time you're in so you can feel right at home. We also appreciate you letting us know about the shower water pressure, and we'll be looking into that. We hope to see you back at the studio again soon! 🤍

Ekam has done an outstanding job curating a beautiful space while not neglecting the importance of high quality teachers. If you truly appreciate the asana and pranayama aspects of yoga, I dont think you’ll find a better studio.
Be warned: This place will spoil you.
Other yoga classes may feel disappointing once you come here regularly.
If you get a chance, I highly recommend any class with the following teachers: Huma, Shannon, Jennifer, Athena, Naomi, Sara, or Billy. You aren’t going to find another studio around that has this many incredible teachers to choose from. I’m sure there are other good instructors here, but I can personally verify these ones are all top notch. 💯
Thank you Ekam for bringing us teachers who have truly perfected their craft and are masters at their art.
