about

enso offers Power Yoga, All Level Vinyasa and Slow Flow classes for adults. It is our goal to provide a safe environment in which to develop the student's physical, personal and mental awareness. At the core of our curriculum is the belief that the concepts incorporated in our classes can be taken off of the mat and into our lives as well.

To promote this concept, our studio has been specifically designed to enhance the personal growth and experience of each student. 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.

enso is so much more than a yoga studio to me.
enso is my gym, my mentor, and my community.
When I moved to Media, enso helped me feel at home. I love the selection of classes, teachers, and the comfortable and supportive environment of the studio. I also enjoy my monthly membership option, which helps to encourage me to attend as many classes as possible.

MALLORY SPENCER, RYT

Mallory has been practicing yoga for about 4 years. She discovered yoga when she was a student at West Chester University and found it very useful for relieving stress and staying physically active. After completing the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Enso in March 2017, she began to deepen her understanding of yoga philosophy and strengthen her commitment to consistent practice. Mallory is now a 500-hour Registered Kripalu Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher, and seeks to honor the ancient wisdom of Vedic sciences as the foundation for her teaching methodology.

Blending Vinyasa yoga with Ayurveda, Mallory's classes are inspired by the internal and external play of the 5 natural elements and their qualities. This approach promotes a greater sense of harmony, while increasing overall well-being and longevity. She believes that when we tune into the world around us and within us, we are able to connect with the rhythms of Nature in a supportive, authentic, cyclical manner.

Mallory sees yoga as a holistic, 8-limb practice that has the potential to positively effect all areas of a person's life: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social. She loves the combination of yoga and Ayurveda because it helps us incorporate balance, mindfulness, and gratitude into our daily routines. Her goal is to offer accessible classes where students are invited to be present and curious as they tend to their unique mind, body, and spirit so that they can feel more integrated both on and off their mat.
