Student Testimonials
“Just being in the space – a beautiful, indoor/outdoor feeling studio with huge open sky lights, and clean walls displaying beautiful and inspiring art...is worth the price of admission. The yoga and Pilates classes are excellent. The flow of the classes slow and steady, with deep focus on the breath, blending with Darlene’s care and expertise is top of the line. I highly recommend the classes at Art and Soul Space.”
-- Page R., Hingham

"Hi Darlene: great news!! 7 lbs. gone so far since beginning the belly transformation class! I'm very much enjoying this class and have found, too, that the yoga is helping as I'm doing some at home on off days! Thank you, Heather." - Scituate, MA
"Darlene, thank you for sharing all of your wonderful talents with us..."-- Becky S., Hingham.
"Thanks Darlene! I just wanted to let you know how much I loved the "Belly Transformation " class!! I learned a lot and thought it was very valuable. I lost a few pounds too! Love the butter/olive oil suggestion and now my husband is on board as well!" Thank you. --Kate L., Scituate
..."I wanted to tell you how timely your lotus mantra was. Nothing serious, but it was exactly what I needed today. Thank you so much." --Mary G.
“In addition to the peaceful space, I really value the knowledge that Darlene brings to her classes. With a dance background including many years of performance and instruction she has a thorough knowledge of the body and how it works, which allows her to communicate both verbally and visually the proper techniques and fine points that allow us to exercise effectively and injury-free. I find this level of instruction helps me to understand the movements and perform them more successfully…." --Joan B., Norwell
"What an absolutely, incredible, restful sleep I had last night ! I have decided that Darlene's yoga class is my "drug" of choice! Can't wait for the next 'high'. -- Sue H., Scituate
"Hi Darlene . . . I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this past 6-week session of BELLY TRANSFORMATION Yoga in your beautiful, serene studio. Sitting up high, overlooking the marsh and seeing all the buds opening on the trees is the perfect place to be for yoga. This particular session that you did, combining nutrition discussion along with Yoga, was wonderful. I have always been interested in healthy eating along with exercise, but I couldn't believe how much I learned from this! I am now so much more aware of the ingredients in the foods that I buy and serve my family . . . we're all eating healthier, therefore we're happier!!! Yoga truly is for "body, mind, and soul". I also very much enjoyed the evening of FENG SHUI discussion . . . everything all ties in to help us live more peaceful, stress-free lives! Thank you for offering such enjoyable and interesting classes. Looking forward to being at Art and Soul Studio again soon." Peace,-- Christine W. - Cohasset, MA
