Donna and her crew have been taking excellent care of our cats for nine years. Communication has always been smooth and easy. I like that I can set up appointments and pay online. The daily handwritten notes provided by the sitter are always nice to read upon our return from a trip.

I love going to Balanced Life Yoga! The teachers are awesome and always show alternate ways if a pose is difficult. It’s a great atmosphere and I always feel relaxed and refreshed when I leave.

This is the first time I have really tried yoga/meditation and taken it seriously. Donna is wonderful and makes learning yoga fun! Im old and out of shape and since starting attending classes, I have felt better, physically and mentally. I was worried about all the Covid situation and Donna makes sure that there arent too many people in the studio and she also offers the classes over Zoom. I highly recommend them!

Balanced Life Yoga is truly a great yoga studio! The class sizes are perfect and never too crowded.I began attending the beginners yoga class, by recommendation from my boss, with Donna & then started attending other classes with other great teachers!The studio is always set up to have a calm & relaxing vibe & the music selection is always great to tune into. There are a lot of available yoga props as well!There are a variety of classes to pick from & it’s great that during COVID-19 Balanced Life Yoga offers online sessions, helping the community keep up with yoga goals.I give this studio a 5 star rating because it truly deserves it. I can’t wait for in class sessions again & to be able to bring my friends to this studio.

My husband and I have been utilizing the services of Neon Dream Pet sitting for over 7 years and they are the most amazing,conscientious, caring and all around thoughtful extremely knowledgeable set of people you could ever have taking care your four legged babies. They even alerted us quickly when two of our older little ones were not doing well on separate occasions. Has long as Donna and the crew are around we will always trust them with our four legged babies in our humble home. Thank you guys, individually and collectively you are simply the best!.Michelle A

I have had a great experience with the care my cats receive using this service. I highly recommend it. It is easy to reserve dates. Rates are reasonable. My pet sitter provides personalized care while I am gone. I am worry-free while I am away. Excellent in every way.

In addition to Balanced Life Yoga, Donna owns and operates Neon Dream Pet Sitting. I have been a client of Neon Dream for almost 15 years and highly recommend them. I traveled a lot in my job and in all those years had only 3 different sitters with Neon Dream. All the sitters took great care of my pets and provided detailed reports of their visits. When I came home, I could see that my pets were happy and content.As my pets aged and required special care, Neon Dream was able to meet their needs. One of my cats became very temperamental and a biter in her old age so I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter but Donna took a special interest in her and became her sole pet sitter. I am thankful of their understanding and genuine love of animals. Now that my pets have passed, I continue to use Neon Dream for home checks while on travel. They bring in the mail, take care of bird feeders, take out the trash, water as needed, alternate lights, etc. Scheduling and payment are easy and they are trustworthy and reliable. I have been very happy with their service and will continue to work with Neon Dream.

Great yoga studio. Currently we are doing Zoom classes because of COVID 19 but the classes are still good, just like in person. Donna is a great teacher and a wonderful person. She has a very kind soul and Im happy that she is my yoga instructor. She is always positive which helps after a full day of work, not only does yoga help with the stress but her positive attitude does also.

Donna and her team are incredible! I never worry when they are taking care of my pets. I can go on vacation with ease. They not only take care of the day to day tasks for my pets but they spend time with my animals and make them feel loved. Thank you for always doing such an amazing job with my pets. Everyone always goes above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend their services!

Balanced Life Yoga is a true life-savor for me. The classes are varied and at convenient times. The instructors are wise, caring, competent and very fine individuals. I have come to love the cave concept where the room is darkened for class. In this busy sometimes-troubled world it is a great escape and contributes to the recharging and letting go that happens in these rich and wonderful classes. Thanks to all, including the wonderful students who tend to be drawn to this transformative place.

Today was my first visit to Balanced Life Yoga and I plan to return. I have never taken part in any type of Yoga Class and at 82+, I find the experience challenging and stimulating, and most of all healthful. I feel confident that my physical being will improve to what is was at 50 or 60. Thank you.

I have only had positive communication with all of the yoga instructors I have come in contact with. Donna happens to be my favorite. She makes class fun, always has humorous and informative things to share. You feel energized and makes your body feel good. Very relaxing as it should be. I challenge you all to come give Balanced Life Yoga a visit. See for yourself!

Balanced Life Yoga, Albuquerque, is Awesome! They welcomed me with warm and friendly greetings. They really made me feel at home and comfortable. The classes that I attended were instructed by Paul. He really makes you feel comfortable, confident, and at peace. He was there to teach (not push) and by my side to teach all the correct stances and techniques. Everyone who attended the classes were always so welcoming, considerate, helpful, and fun. I wish I could continue to go to Balanced Life Yoga, but I recently moved to MA. Thank you so much everyone at Balanced Life Yoga!

I was talking with some students after class today. We agreed that Balanced life Yoga is a beautiful place. One said she was nervous about attending her first yoga class. When she walked in the door she was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Balanced Life is accepting to anyone who wants to experience yoga. We agreed that we need more places like this in the world.

Balanced Life Yoga is a little piece of paradise. I am not exaggerating when I say that this place has changed my life; my mind, body, and spirit have all been greatly enhanced by the time I have spent at the studio. I attend 3–4 classes a week, and many times it is the best part of my day. The space is inviting, and the teachers are all extraordinary. Try Janet if you want to feel your whole body singing with delight. Sometimes, I honestly feel like I’ve had a massage after Janet’s class. Plus, she gives the BEST guided meditations ever. Take a class with Mataji if you want to work on your flexibility AND your spiritual life. Mataji’s joy and happiness are infectious. She is a gorgeous ray of sunshine, and she really shows you the power of yoga to change your thought patterns and your life. Perhaps attend a Stephanie class if you want to learn about the true nature of yoga, classic technique, and the benefits of breath work. Steph is incredibly creative; she crafts these beautiful, complete classes that leave you feeling energized. And the Donna classes are not to be missed. She makes yoga SO MUCH FUN. I laugh and laugh at Donna’s great analogies and comparisons. She keeps you so entertained the whole time, so the class flies by. Additionally, she works every teeny, tiny part of your body; she has you stretch parts of your body that you never really think about. Of course, there are other fantastic instructors at Balanced Life, but those are the four teachers I take classes from. I honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough; this studio has helped my life tremendously.

I have been going to balanced life yoga for years! I love the Yo fit classes the best! A little yoga, Pilates, and light weights are just the right work out for me! Donna is the best at changing things up so it never gets old and she always offers less or more challenging options to customize for each student! I would never go anywhere else!

I love this studio. Donna is very welcoming. Progressions and regressions are provided to make the class accessible to any level. Props and mats are available in the studio on a first come, first serve basis and there are usually plenty to go around. I like the de-stress and fitness classes best. They’re never exactly the same, and I almost always laugh. I started out with a groupon to try out the classes at Balanced Life, and I haven’t gone anywhere else since.

Review №34

I have been to classes with instructors Donna and Paul. Both have a wealth of body knowledge that I find so important in yoga. As I age, I am really focused in not injuring the sore spots of my body. Both instructors share great wisdom specific to my body.Also, Donna uses her knowledge of energy fields to make changes as the group needs. As an example, in a recent class, she had planned to do a gentle version of the shoulder stand. Then, when asked by a fellow student capable of doing the full shoulder stand with no props if she could do it propless, Donna said yes. She then told the class the same.She is positive, up beat, and fun to have as an instructor.I am glad to be a Balanced Life Yoga student!

I enjoy Dinna’s Classes. She is easy going yet can fine tune class to help each person with different limitations. She creates a very relaxed atmosphere in the studio. All props are available to all that attend. I also enjoy Donna’s great sense of humor which makes the classes fun and very enjoyable.

I have been going to a weekly class at Balanced Life Yoga for many years. Donna is a wonderful instructor. She teaches the right way to do so many poses, but always gives alternatives to match the students individual situations. She mixes up the class with lots of different routines, and encourages us to push ourselves to try difficult poses. This regular practice of yoga has improved my flexibility and overall health. I highly recommend her.

This studio is the very BEST. The studio is very well managed by the on the premises owner (she is also one of the instructors). Ive been attending classes 3 & 4 times weekly for almost 3 years and have never been dissatisfied. There are different levels & types of classes & the instructors are knowledgeable, skilled, attentive, fun & very very kind. My practice of yoga has given me strength, balance, flexibility, peace of mind & relaxation. I have so much gratitude for what I have learned at this studio & practice in my daily life.

Update....I have now been going to Balanced Yoga for over 3 months. I absolutely love the yoga, and I think a big part of that is this studio. Balanced Life offers many different styles of yoga for you to try. My first class was Fitness Yoga, which does a lot of core work and mixes weight work in with yoga poses. The class is upbeat and fun with lots of modern music and singing by the participants is welcome! Next I tried the Gentle Yoga on Sunday mornings. This is more traditional yoga with movement through various poses and exploration of the Chakras. This is currently my favorite class. Tuesday has more traditional gentle yoga, but if you prefer the upbeat the Fitness Yoga is offered again in Friday nights. I have also tried restorative yoga on Thursdays, which for me was more like using the breath and movement to facilitate meditation. Very cool. And they are adding some classes in different types of yoga starting this month (June 2019).If you are interested in yoga (and you really should be) Balanced Life has a class for you to try. And if the first one isnt your style, you should explore one of the others. One of my favorite things is how down to earth the studio is. I have never felt like I needed to look like the yoga pictures on the internet to benefit from yoga. There is room for everyone and all abilities.___________I have been going to Balance Life Yoga for about 5 weeks now. I continue to enjoy the classes more and more as I learn more about yoga. I was an inexperienced beginner, but I never felt out of place or judged. Adaptions are provided for all poses and everyone will feel welcomed quickly by Donna.Another plus - by my second session Donna knew my name!

Review №52

I went to BLY for a Reiki treatment, but it was more than that, because a group of healers did energy healing on my heart chakra. It didnt happen over night, it was more cumulative, but a week or so later, my chest felt lighter and my mind was not far behind. If youre experiencing sadness, fear, and difficulty breathing, and its not related to actual heart disease, I recommend giving the caring and powerful healers at BLY a try.
