    I cannot recommend Itka Androlva highly enough, she is without doubt the best massage therapist I have ever had (and I have tried many over the years), and her craniosacral therapy is profoundly healing. She is a warm, grounded, incredibly intuitive healer, and I am not exaggerating when I say that her therapies are transformative.

    I had a deep tissue massage with Suhki Tsang today because I’ve been struggling with a sore back. It was incredible. She was warm, kind and is a brilliantly skilled therapist. I can’t recommend her highly enough. The yoga classes are fantastic too!

    I had a massage with Christian and it was amazing. He is an absolute healer and has an incredible gift. And I love the yoga classes too. Great studio.

    As soon as you walk in, there's a lovely, positive vibe to this place :) Sells some amazing, niche things too. And I just love my yoga classes with Stephanie - I've been going for years! She's kind, calm and an asset to About Balance xx

    Warm and welcoming reception, I felt recognised and attended to, the staff are thoughtful and make sure you feel looked after. I've visited several times and I've always had the same experience so the service is consistent. All my float and massage experiences have been positive. I have bought the package as a gift for a friend too. Best wishes and thank you to all the staff for a great experience

    Helen is a really good Chiropractor and I have already recommended her to a friend. Allison is also a lovely lady who always makes you feel very welcome.

    I love the general vibe of the studio and the teaching style of both of the teachers who have guided me through sessions so far. A beautiful mix of spirituality, mindfulness, meditation & movement.

    An amazing atmosphere and Itka was a very good teacher! It was my first yoga session ever and I went with my partner. I just love the whole vibe of About Balance, the welcoming energy, and I feel like it attracts likeminded people. I'll be back for sure!

    Christian is a first rate masseur. I arrived, having been in recovery with a bad back, and left feeling totally rejuvenated and pain-free. He takes a genuine interest in your physical problems and then gives the most amazing massage.

    Went to my first yoga class this evening with Tammy. Very relaxed & welcoming and will definitely go back. Some classes I have been to before at other venues felt a little competitive, though here Tammy & everyone participating in the class was so chilled . 🙏🤗

    Jitka's massage was the best I've ever experienced - I actually cried during it!

    I love this place. I've had a fantastic massage from Effie, it was so therapeutic. I've attended numerous yoga classes, all the teachers have been fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed all the classes. I have also attended hypnotherapy sessions which helped me start to build a healthier relationship with food. I highly recommend attending any of the classes and receiving any treatments.

    It’s lovely to always be greeted by name, with a welcoming smile at About Balance. I loved the yoga session - and the gentle humour of our tutor, Itka. It made for a warm and accessible environment. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Dave A. 2 years ago on Google
    I love About Balance especially knowing that they try to give as much as possible to the therapists. Vajrasati Yoga is brilliant there. Have had a great massage and also flotation. Price with a Karma card is really reasonable too. Keep up the good work guys

  • 5/5 Vicky M. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to practice yoga, meditation or ear acupuncture. The staff members are really kind and with the karma card you have loads of offers. I have been coming here for 3 years and I highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Kevin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Christian my massage therapist was really great. I arrived a little bit late but he ensured that I was relaxed and comfortable. The massage was great and has helped to ease some of my aches and pains. I would definitely recommend About Balance and Christian and I will be going back.

  • 5/5 Kate A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the most wonderful deep tissue massage from Christian yesterday! I didn't realise how knotted up I was. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. He is so professional and really knows what he's doing. I slept like a baby last night and have woken up, not only feeling lighter, but my mood has lifted too! Can't recommend enough! Thank you 🙏

    I have never done yoga before and I absolutely loved my class. I did “Womb yoga with Cat”-she is a great teacher, I felt super relaxed by the end and really connected with my body☺️. I will be coming back to this class for sure. I have also recommended to friends!

  • 5/5 Dee C. 10 months ago on Google
    My first visit on Tuesday was very positive. I was greeted in a naturally friendly way on arrival and shown where to leave my belongings before going into class. The room was fairly small but there was plenty of room for the five of us to move around. After the class finished we were asked to wipe out mats before rolling them up, an excellent idea. I'll be back, definitely to Katie's class and who knows what else I'll find to join

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 10 months ago on Google
    Until I booked a massage here I had no idea there were therapy rooms downstairs, but there are and they are lovely and you can get lots of great treatments across the week, including using a flotation tank! The ground floor also has a small yoga studio and shop where you can get essential oils and crystals and books and other bits and pieces. Very warm and welcoming service. I will definitely be back in future to try more things!

    I love About Balance so much, I've been going for over 4 years. There's a great community feel and everyone is super welcoming and they always offer a super interesting variety if therapies and yoga classes. I see Itka for massage and cranio sacral and I think she is one of the best therapists in town! She is intuitive, caring and highly skilled. She listens carefully to the person's - and the body's - needs for a treatment that leave you feeling brand-new and restored. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend her! I also attended her yoga classes for the past 5 years, a great combination of hatha flow, kundalini and meditation with incredible and super helpful attention to alignment, I always leave feeling so renewed. Must try!

    My massage from Christian was simply the best I have had in years. The service at Balance from the moment you enter to the moment you leave is lovely, professional, kind, calm.

  • 5/5 Ami C. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely studio for a Sunday workshop, with plenty of props on hand, a nice welcome and an airy, light, clean place in which to feel comfortable. Tammy is a great teacher and I'll certainly be back for another restorative class sometime soon.

    Last week I had a really beautiful treatment with Anna. I thought I'd treat myself to a bit of luxury and went for the holistic vegan facial, and it turned out to be so much more than a cosmetic treat - which it also was (my skin looked amazing after). But I was also surprised at how much it was also a really therapeutic experience. I didn't know that having your face tended to with such care, attentiveness, and tenderness could feel so healing. It is really to be pampered by Anna - you really feel the genuine nurturance in her touch, and you know you can trust her knowledge and skills (I've had reflexology, massage and other treatments with Anna before so I knew she is vastly knowledgeable and skilled in multiple alternative therapeutic approaches). Also, the face massage was incredible! It felt like reflexology through my face - as she massaged the knots out of my jaw and brow and the rest of my body went into a deep relaxed state. So interesting, as well as deeply nourishing. Thank you Anna, again :) X

    Very welcoming, helpful, sensitive and supportive staff and teachers. I felt so relaxed after my first yoga session. Highly recommend to anyone. :)

  • 5/5 Serenity M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to visit. I tried the float tank and its very relaxing, thoughts stop for 90 minutes! Lovely staff and relaxing atmosphere. Warm also which is great when you get out of the floatation tank. Great shower facilities and have access to hairdryers and shampoo/conditioner etc. Would recommend visiting to try a treatment! Will def be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Craig H. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended! Affordable and well worth experience. My first time and I was made to feel so relaxed and welcomed that I can't wait to return.

  • 5/5 DANIEL M. 1 year ago on Google
    Yesterday, I visited the shop, and accidentally, well, I guess, the exterior attracted me. :) The staff members are outstanding; then I was introduced to other services (about balance OMG) by the clients who attend, realizing it's a center or so but with so much more to offer!!. Everybody from the members of the team to the clients is super friendly.

  • 5/5 Emmy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Warm welcome, lovely space with a special ambience in the shop area, great class with Khadine :-)

  • 5/5 Julie R. 1 year ago on Google
    I felt a real connection with Carly .. and the atmosphere was sooo tranquil .. first time having reiki .. what an experience just what I needed .. definitely coming back .

  • 5/5 Barbara B. 2 years ago on Google
    Reception staff very friendly and informative, gave clear instructions re use of the equipment. The centre itself is a very calm space and the float area was clean, warm, and well-lit, and it was great to have all necessary toiletries (and hairdryer!) provided. The time slot of 2 hours was perfect for pre and post-float prep and down-time. Highly recommended!! Xx

  • 5/5 Rhona K. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, great value treatments, and Jordan is the most exceptional masseuse! There’s is a wonderful community atmosphere and the yoga teachers are brilliant.

  • 5/5 Emily Jayne B. 2 years ago on Google
    Allison was so so friendly and kind when I was late for my first session due to my bike chain coming off. She has such a wonderful calming energy and the yin yoga session was so so so relaxing and so good for my body with various health complications and im excited to come every Sunday!! <3

  • 5/5 Kate S. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this yoga studio! Lots of different teachers/practices to choose from, and the studio itself has a really nice space and its never horribly busy. It has a really nice approach to make the lessons affordable too! Easy to look at whats on and book on the website. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Ashleigh P. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience at About Balance was perfect from start to finish. The staff were so helpful and attentive, even via email, and when I arrived I instantly relaxed despite being nervous about my first floatation. The facilities were amazing and I felt like a new woman walking out of the studio afterwards! I can’t wait to come back. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Leanne G. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a really fantastic 90 min treatment with Joanna yesterday and I have to say, it was one of the best massages I've ever had. It was everything I was hoping for and I love her mix of massage styles. I left feeling mentally and physically rejuvenated Thank you so much :)

  • 5/5 Mark D. 5 years ago on Google
    What a place. Great and friendly staff and students. I stayed in Brighton earlier this week and wanted to practice some early morning yoga finishing early. They were brilliant. The teacher told me when it was time for me to leave and would even put my mat etc away . If I return to Brighton I will definitely go there again

    Hi! Your website doesn't seem to be working... Anyone having the same problem?

  • 1/5 Nikki F. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is a complete embarrassment! Not on the least bit professional from booking experience to actual appointment. Tried booking online. Apparently their online system doesn't actually connect to booking system, called 7 times to try and confirm appointment. Then at the appointment for a 76 yr old woman who is in pain they asked her to lie on the floor for acupuncture because they didn't have proper treatment rooms available. I can't even begin to express my utter disbelief at what an embarrassing shambles this operation is.
