“Candlelit yoga with Chris is my absolute favorite yoga class. He eases everyone in gently with meditative music, then gradually builds into uplifting vinyasa flows set to a fun mix of pop and occasional EDM. The music makes me want to bebop in the dark while holding some of the more challenging poses, and it helps me stay relaxed and playful instead of intimidated.

He closes each class with calming relaxation and a short inspirational reading while we melt into our yoga mats. Throughout the session, Chris gives clear guidance and encouraging little quips that make it easy to follow along, even in the dark, without constantly needing to look around at everyone else to figure what what I'm supposed to be doing.

The candlelight and warmth of the studio create such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that it honestly makes for a perfect date night or solo reset. The darkness also gives me the freedom to try poses without worrying about looking graceful (or, in my case, like a “broken swan”), and the music kindly disguises the occasional thud when I lose my balance.

Highly recommend!“

“Working with Raya at Raya Wellness has been one of the most meaningful and healing experiences in my life. Her care as both a massage therapist and nutritional guide has had a profound impact on my overall health and wellbeing.

Raya approaches wellness holistically. Through therapeutic bodywork, thoughtful nutritional guidance, and genuine compassion, she helped me begin addressing deeper imbalances in my body instead of simply managing symptoms. One of the key recommendations she made was introducing me to the CellCore protocol to help support detoxification and overall cellular health.

When I first began working with Raya, I was going through an incredibly difficult period in my life. I had experienced repeated miscarriages and was also carrying deep grief from the loss of my mother, who had battled long-term COVID before ultimately passing away from cancer. Physically and emotionally, I was depleted.

Raya supported me through that season with patience, knowledge, and care. Her guidance helped me focus on restoring my body and supporting my health from the inside out.

I truly believe that the work we did together played an important role in helping my body regain balance. In August 2025, I was blessed to carry and deliver a healthy baby boy — something that once felt uncertain after everything I had been through.

Raya’s care is deeply personal, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She genuinely invests in the wellbeing of the people she works with, and I cannot recommend Raya Wellness highly enough for anyone seeking holistic support for their health, healing, and the big one for me my fertility journey at 41 years old.“

“I had an amazing workout, an excellent trainer, love the friendly positive vibes. Equipment is well maintained and easy to use.“

“Hours do not accommodate full time work schedules. Saturdays at least 9:00 Am until 1:00 Pm for people with busy weekday schedules. My sincere apologies, I certainly did not intend to insult you. I just wish I could find a place to de-stress and relax and rejuvenate that has hours on Saturday’s because weekdays are hectic. Thank you for the invite on May 17, I don’t know if I will be there but I greatly appreciate your generosity.“

“Dr. Uhl was able to help me get back to being a college athlete even when we didn’t know what was wrong. He did a great job, he was very good at checking in and making sure that I was okay and seemed like he wanted me to understand the treatment beforehand in its entirety. His office staff, as well as himself, are also very nice and welcoming.“

“Nice relaxing atmosphere. Friendly patrons and the owner is always around to help. Particularly good for indoor racquet sports.“

“I had my first massage with Erika and it was fantastic. She kept the lines of communication open, asking me how I was doing and the level of pressure that I needed. The room was quiet and calm, smelled great and the massage table was even warmed. I can’t wait to go back!“

“What a joy and relief to find Iyengar trained teachers at Yoga Loft. And by 'Iyengar trained' I mean knowledgeable, creative, attentive and professional.“

“It has been a while since I've done yoga. I have never done hot yoga. My daughter's been doing it for a while. She actually has done 13 classes this month so far. She lives in Albany, but I do not. I was visiting and she wanted to take me. I felt that the class was perfect for me.
The instructor was really great. I thought it would wipe me out, but afterwards I had a ton of energy and felt great.“
