I love Evolution Yoga. A yoga practitioner for many decades, I have tried many different studios. Evolution is the best I have experienced. The teachers are wonderful, the studio space is warm and welcoming, and they offer a wide variety of classes. I especially love the yoga wall classes and the outdoor yoga classes, with yoga on the dock being a wonderful way to start the day with amazing views and enjoying the sights and sounds of the waterfront!

Michelle at Evolution has treated me for two different injuries and in both cases I left her care far better than I came. Although one never hopes to be injured again, if I was I would go back to her in a heartbeat. I really value her integrative body-mind wisdom, deep physiological knowledge, and practical, functional approach. And everyone else at Evolution that I’ve interacted with has been great too!

Janet is a gifted healer. I had a particularly tricky injury that felt pretty incapacitating. Janet's diagnosis was on the money; she navigated me gradually and expertly through weeks of flare-ups caused by inflammation. She never gave up, allowing my body to rest and heal, patiently adding exercises as my pain decreased. Today my functioning is nearly normal. You will appreciate Janet's clear explanations and compassionate, careful listening. I would recommend her to anyone. PT (even online in the time of Covid) works!

Evolution is amazing for both physical therapy and yoga!
I began telehealth PT a month ago in the midst of Covid-19 office visit limitations. I had considerable shoulder pain and restricted range of motion that severely impacted my activity. Within one month, my level of pain has dramatically decreased and my activity level is almost back to normal. I think telehealth is an excellent means of doing physical therapy. Dr. Janet Carscadden is a superb therapist in every way. She provides skilled and carefully planned guidance and support. I was so incredibly surprised how well this platform of health

So far I have only been to the Essex studio. It is so warm and welcoming. I always leave class feeling good about myself and looking forward to my next session. Nicole and Susan (the two instructors I've had) are both compassionate and inclusive of all bodies and all experience levels.

I highly suggest Evolution Yoga for yoga and physical therapy. Two physical therapist I highly recommend are Alison and Meagan. The staff in general, is very friendly, positive and helpful. They laughed at 87% of my jokes.

I've been going to Evolution for nearly 10 years. I love the variety of classes - there's a class for every day of the week, and any energy level and ability.
What I love:
- very community minded - they support the community in lots of different ways
- people-centered - they pay attention to what their clients and students are interested in
- they're welcoming! I've made a lot of lifelong friends there over the years
- I feel inspired when I leave!
THANK YOU EVOLUTION for making yoga and PT accessible.

Seeing Susan for prenatal yoga is such a lovely way to slow my day down, remember to breath deeply and focus on this little one.
