From the reviews
After losing my son almost three years ago, I found this little yoga studio. The atmosphere was calming and peaceful, but what really drew me in was the kindness and compassion of the owner Cat Galli. I started with beginner yoga classes and some meditation.
These are the top 5 amazing things Stress Free Body Yoga has done for me. 1. I've worn prescription orthotics for 15 years. I no longer need them. 2. My right big toe is no longer arthritic. 3 I can balance on either leg, something that was once impossible. 4.
Beautiful artistic yoga studio in the heart of downtown Keyport with a waterfront view. Love the attention to detail from beautifully painted ceiling to the warm blankets and sunflower seeds. Studio offers a variety of classes suited to all levels. Great energy as soon as you enter.
After injuring my back, I was looking to get back into yoga after several years of being away. There are a lot of Monmouth county yoga studios but Stress Free Body appealed to me because it was close to Middletown. However, the convenient location isn’t what has kept me as a member for several months now.
New to tai chi? Start at Stress Free Body
Stress Free Body comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Stress Free Body
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
