Shiva Shakti -Yoga and Pilates 8 Common Street, Waltham, MA 02451

"Gwen is a truly dedicated and a blessed yoga teacher. I have been attending her classes for some time now, and the impact on my well-being has been profound. She has a wonderful sense of humor and incorporates therapeutic positive affirmations into her guidance, which adds an uplifting element to the practice. Gwen skillfully adapts poses to suit beginners and participants of all ages. She starts with basic poses and provides clear, step-by-step instructions (like lift your left hand place it on your right knee) and demonstrating them herself for easy reference. She also offers personalized guidance by walking around and correcting poses as and when needed. Overall a great place and positive community."

"Practicing yoga at Shiva Shakti genuinely changed my life for the better. With Gwen's gentle, nurturing, and yet challenging support and the beautiful community she's fostered in her studio, I became physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger and learned how to use my yoga practice to help me stay grounded through life's constant ups and downs. I've since moved out of Massachusetts and so I'm practicing yoga at a different studio, but Shiva Shakti and Gwen will have my heart forever."

"Hands down Gwen is the best instructor! So informative and unique - no class is the same and your body and mind will be ever grateful! I’m addicted!"

"I started going to Gwen's studio to recover from a very serious back injury. Within weeks, I was already feeling stronger and more confident in my body. No two classes are the same and she customizes the class based on people's needs. She creates such a warm and inviting space. It truly is a special studio. I would give her 10 stars if I could!"

"Shiva Shakti is a phenomenal yoga and pilates studio. Gwen is a caring, knowledgeable instructor that builds practice based on the attendees in the room. She taught me how to move and strengthen my body safely, which is a true gift that helped me get out of chronic pain."
