"I tried the Candlelight Yoga Nidra class with a friend. It means Yoga sleep, we didn't know that. There is no movement. You just lay still on your back for an hr. and focus on body parts. There were no candles as the picture showed(...?) The Instructor was rambling on for 10 min. at the beginning of the hour, which made it hard to relax, and the guided meditation was mostly slow and boring. Yet, the sound bowl at the end was a nice touch. The place was clean and we might try another class that looks fun with actual movement."

"Movewell is my favorite fitness studio in Humboldt! The space is gorgeous, all the instructors that I have worked with have been fun and knowledgable, and the owner is always finding ways to give back to her community. They have great pilates classes, and I have also liked their yoga and mama & baby classes."

"My husband and I are retired and in our mid 60's. We took Ellie's Barre pilates classes/ series. It was amazing. We both gained strength and mobility. Everyone in the class was friendly and I found Movewell very welcoming to people of all ages! Ellie was great and I am going to take her next Barre series again!"

"My first class at Movewell was a prenatal yoga class with Jodie. It felt good to be taking a class with other mamas all on our motherhood journey's. Jodie is very welcoming, supportive & fun! A friendship with another mom was made during this class and it's so great to have that connection being a first time mom. I'm now taking the Pilates class with Islay. Again, a great group of mamas! I look forward to class each week not only to get out of the house with my babe but to be supported in the community with other amazing women. Such a great investment for your mind and body. Islay is very knowledgeable & has great energy. I love that this studio does not feel intimidating as everyone I have encountered is friendly and warm. Grateful to have access to this beautiful studio during my pregnancy & postpartum."

"I just love the experience at Movewell. I've been taking classes from Judi Nelson here off and on for some years and Judi is a tremendously helpful teacher. Her physical therapy training really shows in the classes. My days always feel better when I can come to her classes. The whole Studio feels clean, calming and lovely. I like the easy sign up from my phone, where I can reserve my spot and pay either the night before or in the morning when I am about to leave. I especially appreciate that Tamra supports the surrounding community in so many ways, from having local art on the walls, to doing the free class twice a week for Plaza Point Apartments seniors (which include my mom). This is a great business that I am happy to get to support!"
