Quiet Winds

Since I started living in Baltimore (for a very short 5 weeks) I have been going to Quiet Winds for yoga. I found out about it from Unilocal while researching a place to practice while here and QW was the closest to me.
Every class I have been to — Restorative, Kundalini, Aromatherapy — has been outstanding! I love the small class sizes and I absolutely adore Brianna’s teachings. She is very You-​oriented and helps you in every way to find what makes you comfortable and what’s best for your body and mind. I have taken a couple Kundalini classes with Avtar and he is also extremely knowledgable and helpful.
I’m disappointed there is nothing like QW in Detroit where I’m from, but if I’m ever back in Baltimore, I’ll be sure to stop by!
Thanks, Quiet Winds!

I learned about Quiet Winds through a business school classmate and couldn’t be more thankful for the discovery. I have been doing yoga for about 5 years in various venues, preferring to practice in my home along to a Baron Baptiste video. Rather than attend a full class, I opted to invest in a private session with Brianna to «polish» my form and explore some healing poses for after my running/​biking workouts and to help with my high-​stress lifestyle.
I had wonderful session with Brianna and wish I had attended Quiet Winds sooner! The space was clean, extremely calming, and very welcoming. Brianna was very knowledgeable and responsive to my needs and concerns, using yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy during the session. She not only walked me through the various poses, but explained the benefits and purpose behind the poses, their order, and any changes she made to my technique. She was also very knowledgeable about the various yoga practices, something valuable to both beginner and intermediate yogis.
While I am loyal to my Baron Baptiste video, I can’t wait to start attending classes at Quiet Winds!

I found this place through living social and it was exactly what I needed.
I went to the guided meditation and sound healing and REALLY REALLY liked it.
She basically guides you through some visualizations that relaxes you and gets you to think more positively while you lay really comfortable on the floor wrapped in some nice smelling blankets. I will be back next week.
It’s also a really nice space. The studio is large, tranquil and serene.
The owner Brianna’s philosophy is using various modalities (yoga, meditation, reiki) to heal and really what I had been looking for.
I had really wanted to find a place to do yoga to relax and still my mind, not to work up a sweat or be a competition (I get enough of that in real life) so this place is perfect for me.

Thought it was good. I got the Living Social deal for 5 classes for $ 25. The space seems really clean, albeit a tab bit chilly (it was also like 30 deg outside…). I like that they have a raised platform for the instructor, but that really wasn’t necessary since it was such a small class. I went to the Wednesday morning aroma yoga class. I liked the scents that they gave to us. I’d say that this class was an beginner/​intermediate class. I’d have liked them to include this in the class description. Also, I’ve been to yoga studios where they give harder and easier variations in the pose — I would have liked that for this class. I think that the pace was nice, but I might have wanted to try some more difficult variations.

Brianna, the owner, is an incredible yoga teacher. I began atttending her classes when she was at Charm City teaching packed mon/​wed beginner classes and workshops and have been a huge fan ever since. She has branched out to create her own studio on Charles Street, which is a beautiful, healing space with sky lights, wood floors, candles, new everything. Plenty of room to stretch out. Her classes show you not just the postures but also the philosophy of yoga and ideas behind them, she even adds aromatherapy. The main message is follow your own body. Her classes are great for beginners or anyone else wanting to improve their technique — she really knows her stuff and will do adjustements. Her closing meditation is incredibly relaixing. You leave refreshed and renewed, relaxed. She is unlike any other yoga teacher. Parking is plentiful and the space is inspiring. Saturday classes are 2 hour workshops, and other classes include reiki (not my thing) and yoga styles. I liked the lunch yoga class on Wed. Since it is a new studio, the program is still being developed (I hope she adds some yoga dance classes too!)
