"​This place was amazing and I cannot say enough good things about it and the people running it . I originally signed up at a big place in Charlotte and it was twice as expensive and I felt like I was treated unfairly and it felt impossible to do the classes . I found breathe and everything was so smooth and so easy and was very affordable the person who does the classes is great I learned so much and you can tell that it’s more then just a class and she cares and is understanding , helpful , and just a all around good person . So glad this is all behind me now and I highly recommend breathe ."-BK
