about us

Enso offers Power Yoga, All level Vinyasa, Budokon and Slow Flow classes for adults. We offer these areas of study that are integrated with each other, but which, can be practiced individually. It is our goal to provide a safe environment in which to develop the student's physical, personal and mental awareness. inside the enso studio At the core of our curriculum is the belief that the concepts incorporated in our classes can be translated into the living arts of the students.

To promote this concept, our studio has been specifically designed to enhance the personal growth and experience of each student. All of our clothing and mats are eco-friendly fair-trade products. To limit environmental excess, we will not be selling pre-filled water bottles. Instead we offer an enso water bottle, which can be filled at our water cooler. The colors, artwork, and materials at the studio have been specifically chosen to create a relaxing environment. Men's and women's locker rooms and showers enable our students to move on through the rest of their day with ease.

Convenient parking is available in the lot immediately adjacent to enso on State Street in Media.
