Functional Yoga Medicine formerly Alkaline Wellness Center

As a breast cancer survivor, Functional Yoga Medicine has been a crucial part of my healing journey. I love their holistic approach to health and well-being as it is truly unique. They focus on integrating physical movement with deeper principles of mindfulness and self-awareness creating a unique and transformative experience. They were able to address all of my individual needs by combining yoga with functional medicine principles. Their supportive environment and the specialized classes that they provide have helped me regain physical strength and flexibility after treatment and self-confidence. Every instructor is incredibly understanding and knowledgeable. They all are highly educated and skilled and each one possesses a genuine passion for yoga and a true desire to help their students grow within their practice and themselves. All the instructors provide personalized attention during the classes to ensure that everyone is practicing correctly and safely. They design each class with a specific intention, focusing on themes or goals to enhance the overall experience. I can tell that a lot of time and thought is put into the sequences, to ensure my physical strength, flexibility, and balance, are being all while also incorporating mindfulness and breath work and encompassing all skill levels from beginners to advanced students. Functional Yoga Medicine truly has done so much for me and in my journey towards better health and well-being. I have gained so much physical strength and flexibility all the while cultivating mindfulness and inner peace. I encourage you to try just one class! You will not regret it and your health and family will thank you!

I had back surgery early in the year and have been dealing with lingering pain in my back and hips. It has been difficult to do much of anything without feeling pain and soreness for months. I decided to give yoga a try, and I already have noticed an tremendous difference. I tied my shoes without any soreness for the first time in a year yesterday, which was a huge milestone for me. In class yesterday I (barely) was able to touch my toes, which is so much more progress than I could have anticipated after only a couple months of classes. I feel optimistic that I can one day live a "normal" life again without being uncomfortable or hurting in some from everyday. I really appreciate all the instructors that have guided me through this and cannot recommend this place enough. Chelsea has been especially encouraging and cannot thank her and everyone at FYM enough.

I have been going to FYM since May 2024. That is to say about 5 months. I have tried all of their classes and they are all great. I have never done any type of yoga before and I am in love not only with the practice but with the center. They are all professionals not only on their practice of yoga but also all instructors are professionals in their own education fields that is being a nurse, counselor, physician therapist, etc. This is a team that will help you not only on your practice but in so much more if you need it. My favorite class is the Ashtanga Yoga Class , it is what I have been needing in my life and I did not even know it. Thank you so much team FYM of Suwanee.

Functional Yoga Medicine has made big improvements to my health comeback. After a long hospitalization I knew I needed to strengthen my core. With incredible help from my private coach, Christina Scourlas, I feel so much stronger and confident that I am on my way to a full recovery. Can’t wait to start the group classes.

I took my first ever yoga class at FYM and immediately knew I wanted more. Jessica is a true ambassador for this studio and for the practice of yoga. She gives clear verbal instruction and sets an example working out with the class.
