Heartwood Yoga Institute

Walking into the door, I knew I made the right decision.  Heartwood embodied everything you could ask for.  Beautiful, safe, clean, well-managed, a wonderful staff, delicious food and endless experiences (be it yoga, writing, walking, massage, art, connection, etc.).  Who would've thought this sanctuary was right here in Bradenton, FL?!

I spent the weekend at Heartwood on a yoga & writing retreat. This was THE healthiest, most beneficial thing I have done for myself this year. The staff are kind and accommodating for every need; I'm vegan and had no issues whatsoever! There was always something scheduled, but there was complete flexibility and freedom for each person's preferences. This was an incredibly therapeutic experience for me, and I made some lovely friends as well! I recommend a visit to Heartwood for everyone, regardless of yoga experience or spiritual affiliation. I'm blessed to have found this sanctuary.

First time at Heartwood, beautiful facility.  Aerial yoga class with Jessica.  Great teacher, welcoming and kind.  Looking forward to next time!!

I am so happy to have found Heartwood! I have attended several different classes offered here and have been beyond pleased with all of them. The instructors are all very knowledgeable, kind and calming. The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful! From the moment you drive into the property, you feel a sense of peace and tranquility. You can see the love and care that has been put into every part Heartwood.

MORE THAN 5 Stars!! I have never experienced such peace until I entered the grounds of Heartwood.  Denver, AMAZING! I can't express the gratitude for her calmness, gentle heart and kindred spirit.  My massage was beyond exceptional, I will be returning!  Jessica, such a warm heart for my first time attending the Restorative Yoga class.  Thank you all so much for helping to feel as though I have made it home.

The second you drive in the gate,
 Your heart is filled with peace. Great class yesterday with Jessica B. I will be back next time I come to town .

I love Jesica's Restorative Aroma Yoga class. Each class is focused, different and every person is given individual attention to be sure they receive what they need from their yoga practice. I've been to many restorative classes before, but this is becoming my favorite! Heartwood in general is an amazing facility with everything i look for in a heart centered yoga facility. Everyone is kind, the grounds are tranquil from the moment your car rolls through the gate. I am becoming hooked...

Had my first night for the teacher training course and at first I was reallyy nervous but then my nerves settled when we all introduced ourselves making it feel more welcoming and at home :) love the instructors !

Restorative Yoga with Aroma Therapy filled a hold in my soul today.  She is nurturing and active making us all comfortable.  Absolutely loved it.  I will certainly return.

I took Restorative Aroma Yoga with Jessica. The facilities were perfect. Lots of positive energy. I did not have to tell Jessica this was my first instructor led yoga class. I say this because she knew when we needed a sand bag/blanket/a slight adjustment in position before asked. For me, the class was an energizing, relaxing, and a centering kickoff towards learning more about yoga & yoga therapy.  I am grateful for the opportunity Heartwood has afforded me to be able to learn & bring my mind/body/spirit together so close to home. I am blessed. Thank You.
