blue door yoga & wellness

I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and this is the best yoga studio I have ever found. I love the community, the wide variety of yoga and strength building classes, and the wellness & spa options. This is the studio I come to for a work out, to take a challenging yoga class, to relax in a restorative yoga class, to enjoy a sound bath, to get a massage, and to meet up with friends to chat with chai tea. I truly love spending time at Blue Door.

At 23 weeks pregnant, I joined Blue Door Yoga to increase my flexibility, strength, and balance prior to birth. I’ve been going almost every day for the past month now and absolutely love it! Not only do I love it, but my baby does the happiest little dances in my belly after every class. Clearly yoga is essential for humans of all ages 😉.
The community that Jesi Mifsud has built at Blue Door is like no other yoga studio I’ve been to. Many studios are busy, cramped, and you get lost in the crowd. At Blue Door you are family, and an interest is taken in you personally to help you feel welcome and support you in your goals. It’s truly a unique and special place, and one I look forward to attending for a long time. 😌

I am taking Jesi's Fundamental of Yoga series and have access to unlimited classes for the duration of the series. Right now, I'm going to as many as my schedule allows and this is what I've found:

The teachers are, without exception, knowledgeable, nurturing, and helpful toward all skill levels.

The wide variety of classes offered mean that I can choose something challenging if I'm feeling like a badass or something restorative if I'm feeling wrung out. I love that I can mix it up like a bespoke yoga cocktail and know that it's just right for what I need in the moment.

I'm also sleeping better than I have in years. if you've ever had sleep issues, you know this how huge this is. A well-worked body, a quieted mind, and proper breathing habits have been invaluable these last weeks.

Thank you Blue Door! Thank you Jesi and Helena everyone else! I'm sorry it took me so long to find you but I'm so glad I finally did.

I had the most terrific, skilled, and intuitive massage from Paula at Blue Door the other day! Wow. I was super impressed. I can tell she has learned from many different modalities, and listens through her hands. It was the most enjoyable and relaxing 90 minutes I've had in a long time!

I love Blue Door Yoga! I’m so glad that I discovered it so close to home. Jesi is so welcoming and warm. I could talk to her for hours. I love the variety of classes and all the teachers are great. It’s not just a Yoga studio, it’s a healing space. And very community oriented. I love that we have tea together sometimes after class.

Full transparency, I’m writing this review just after taking the 9am Aligned Strength Vinyasa on a Monday morning in my living room via Zoom (something I never got into during the pandemic). The endorphins are flowing through me like the sweat beads I just wiped off my face. That being said, I could have easily been writing just after the roll + restore class on Sunday nights with a fave instructor in Rebecca or even calmer after a beautiful sound bath which the studio hosts regularly.

That’s the best part about Blue Door- the variety of classes, the incredible instructors, and the overall focus on total wellness. As somebody who has done yoga here and there over the years, I’ve found myself aligned (pun intended) to this studio at least 4 times a week in yoga classes since January, in studio and online. While I’ve only had the pleasure of leveraging private acupuncture, the studio also offers massage, nutrition, reiki, and many more services which I can’t wait to check out. Do yourself a favor and book a class set so you can see for yourself how to truly empower yourself through total wellness. For now, it’s time to shower before switching my zoom to less exciting meetings. Thank you Team Bluedoor for all you do!

Love love love this yoga studio! Feel like I come home every time I enter the door. I started just a couple months ago, and I try and get here 4 days a week. This week, I had to miss two days in a row and when I came back in I felt my body was CRAVING the movement and stretches in a way I had never experienced before! The owner, Jesi, is truly an exceptional human being who does her best to make everyone feel welcome. Every class I’ve attended has made me feel better than when I walked in. Love all the teachers - it’s hard to pick a favorite! Everyone here is kind and loving. A haven for healing on every level. Can’t recommend this place enough! So grateful to have found it nestled in Penngrove! ❤

I recently had an experience that truly helped me realize that I'm getting so much out of the yoga classes that I've been attending for about a year and a half. A couple weeks ago I took a plane trip out of state. I have anxiety of being in an enclosed space for too long and this was a 5 hour flight. An hour or so into the trip I started to pay attention to my breath. I pictured in my mind the beautiful Mandala wall at the yoga studio. I even placed my hands into a couple of Mudra poses. Next thing I knew the pilot was announcing that we would soon be decending into Cleveland airport. Blue Door Yoga and Wellness is the reason I can now take a plane ride without so much anxiety and approach other things in life with less stress.

The best yoga studio you will find! It’s perfect for beginners and those who are experienced! The owner Jesi and all of her teachers and staff are so nice and welcoming! There’s a lot of opportunities to learn and progress. It’s genuinely the best yoga studio ever! I travel, and after a few months there, I was sad to leave. I’ll never find a studio like Blue Door.

This is where you want to go to start your healing journey. It’s so much more than a yoga studio. The complementary and alternative health services offered here are concomitantly supplementary and essential to living a healthy, happy & more fulfilling life. Staff include educated and experienced yoga teachers as well as eastern medicine practitioners and service providers. The owner, Jesi, is a wealth of knowledge regarding eastern medicine practices, but also regularly offers wellness classes with expert speakers. On a personal note, I occasionally enjoy spending a little extra time at this place after yoga class, where Jesi has built a special nook for gathering around chai tea & baked goods to facilitate impromptu conversations, foster a genuine sense of community or offer a quiet refuge. And, nothing beats saying farewell to all the crazies by the end of just one hour long yoga session.

This is a wonderful Yoga and Wellness studio. My life is forever changed for the better! The owner is loving, fun, and truly beautiful inside and out. We are truly blessed to have Blue Door in our community
