4 States Yoga

4 States Yoga is the one to beat, people! It is so comfy and welcoming the second you see the door. When you walk in, you feel at peace and everyone is so kind! The session was exactly what I needed to start my day! This is the best I've felt in a long time! Thank you!!!

This was my first yoga class, and I was super nervous. Tom and everyone in the class was so welcoming, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will definitely be returning to Tom’s beginning yoga class, and I will be trying new ones too! It was easily understood, and I felt that everyone was supportive of everyone. No competition, and no fear of not being “good at yoga”. The environment was relaxing and very kind clearing. Overall my first experience was better than I could have asked for, and I will be returning!

I have attended two sessions with two different instructors so far at 4 States Yoga and I attend to continue returning. The instructors are wonderful: checking in prior and after class to gauge their focus of body work to meet needs of the attendees. I appreciate reminders for breathing and pushing your body as needed to connect with your stretch and to encourage body awareness. It's easy to get into my own headspace and the reminders keep me engaged and focused.

The atmosphere is clean and inviting. At this time they are requiring masks in the lobby and have spaced out, limited attendance, in all their sessions. They offer a variety of classes: hot yoga, slow stretch, and stronger flows. Classes are offered at varying times to meet limited schedules.

Returning to some form of physical movement became critical after my COVID slump and I have enjoyed my experience here thus far.

4 States Yoga has a wide variety of types of yoga to fit what every person needs. When I have a chance to take Rebecca's Gentle Stretch Yoga it is a real treat. She is a yoga whisperer. The studio is always extremely clean and follows CDC guidelines for safety. Melissa teaches a Saturday morning class that is a great way to start the weekend. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. If you have a chance to participate in a workshop, you should definitely enroll. Last week Rachel taught a hip opening workshop that maximized stretching and taught ways to incorporate practice in your daily life.

This was my first class at 4 States Yoga and first yoga class in years. I have been a Covid couch-potato for over a year and want to get moving again. Prior to Covid, I was struggling with a knee injury that my physical therapist said was the result of my stiff hip flexors.  When I saw the hip flexibility class, I knew it was a place to start.

The instructor (Rachel Fletcher) was kind, warm, and knowledgeable.  She made the class feel accessible to all levels.  The instructor was great about explaining the pose and giving alternates positions depending on the level of flexibility.  When we were done, I felt worn out (in a good way) and by the time I got home, my legs felt like noodles (also in a good way).

The class was 90 minutes.  It started and ended on time and Rachel stayed to answer questions. She also provided resources to help us continue at home.  

The studio itself was clean and nicely designed.  I had no issue finding parking.  The mats were spaced safely apart from each other. The owner, Melissa Crowder, was also present and very welcoming.  I left feeling better about my body and flexibility journey.  I look forward to checking out other classes.

Today was my first class here, as I live out of town. I was so impressed. The instructor was professional and kind. The entire facility was very well cleaned. Mats were spaced so everyone was distanced. It was so relaxing to have enough area around us. I will definitely drive 40 minutes for a class here again!

Just attended a yoga class that Melissa taught and it was a wonderful start to my day. The atmosphere is great and I feel so much better after the class.

Tonight was my first time attending a yoga class in a LONG time and I could not recommend 4 States enough. I went to the Warm Vinyasa class and the instructor was so encouraging and made sure to compliment my strengths as well as give me tangible things to work on in the areas I needed more help. I left feeling empowered, capable and proud of what my body could do.
I cannot wait to come back and I will definitely be inviting my friends!

I absolutely love coming to classes at Four States Yoga! All the instructors are very knowledgeable in the art of yoga. They explain things in a way that a brand new beginner can understand and they offer alternative positions to challenge experienced people. The studio is always clean and has a calming, serenity feeling that is so inviting.
I just can’t say enough good things about Four States Yoga!

I’ve known Melissa Crowder for many years and have taken lessons from her even before she purchased 4 States yoga.
I moved to Bella Vista AR and one of the things I missed most was taking yoga classes with her.  I’m currently taking her 9:15 Wednesday morning Kundalini class by ZOOM!
Melissa is personable, gives clear instructions and helps students take modified positions if they have a problem area like knees or shoulder.  She is well organized and punctual. She makes every minute of our hour count and leads meditations as well as a gong relaxation period at the end of class. The breath work and chanting helps clear your mind while the exercise helps strengthen your body. Thanks Melissa.
