Center For Body & Soul

Massage was very soft. I asked for the masseuse to rub out the knots that I had in my neck/​back and she refused, claiming she couldn’t feel them.
I honestly left there feeling like I needed a massage even more than when I started.
Wouldn’t recommend going there.

Ricky always gives an amazing massage and the place is beautiful, very relaxing. The yoga classes are great also!

I have been a client of The Center for Body and Soul for several months after having been referred there by a physical therapist friend of mine.Co-owner Ricky is a real professional, and a master of his craft. He has helped my chronic back issues tremendously. He truly has a gift for finding the exact trouble spots each and every time. If you have a back or neck issue, he is your go-​to guy for myofascial release or therapeutic massage. Ask questions and you may well learn something about anatomy and how your muscles may be compensating or stressed from over use, causing your pain. The Center is located in a house that was formerly a private residence and NO-​no one lives in the building now. It is a space that is well laid out with a cozy, warm and safe atmosphere. I’m a fan!

It’s a house and people live here! I could smell the man’s feet as he massaged me in socks. The guy didn’t use any lotions or oils. He tried to massage my butt and then got offended when I told him I was uncomfortable. I was afraid to drink the glass of water he tried to give me. Never AGAIN!

The massage here can’t be beat at ANY area salon… Ricky R. is an awesome masseuse! Always a fabulous experience. On my birthday and/​or Christmas, if anybody asks me what I would like, I ALWAYS ask for a Gift Certificate to the Center… Been going for several years and intend to continue. Such a great place that it’s almost a secret that I don’t want to share!

Not entirely happy w the massage by the male owner, forgot his name. It was more Fluff n Buff, barely felt any pressure. Would like to try the female owner before I decide never to go back I’ve heard good things about her. We’ll see.
Place is nice. Massage rooms r basic. Check out was awkward. Had to ask for my total. All around just weird.

I love this studio! Take a yoga class by Mary Beth — she is so very good. My friend & I also took Magda’s belly dancing class — so much fun! I’d love to get there more often — maybe a 2011 resolution :)?

I am a yoga newbie but I really enjoyed my lessons and the people at Body and Soul. I liver in Orland Park and I had driven past this cute little house for years wondering «what the heck do they do in there.» So, I finally checked out their website and decided to give it a try.
The interior of the home is very well done. Relaxing! I wish I could get as nice a feel in my own home — I’ll get there! The Yoga classes that I participated in were reasonable in size (not mat on mat) and enjoyable. I signed up for about 3 months at the beginning of this year and I am going to see if I can make at least 6 months in the new year. That would be progress — no?
So, if it’s time to make your New Year’s resolution, why not join me! Namaste!

This place is a class act and a real joy. I don’t get out here often, but when I do, it’s always a pleasure.
I danced at a live music hafla (bellydance party and performance) yesterday hosted by my good friend Magda who teaches bellydance here. Everything was set up in the backyard of the center and it was very pleasant. A Koi pond, lots of shady tables, and a little stage with a grass dance area! Lots of room for the vendors to set up tables as well, very well done.
The center itself is expansive and well laid out. A good variety of wellness classes, Tai Chi, bellydancing and Yoga. I’d come around more if I lived in the area, but if you do — this is a really nice place! Very friendly, serene vibe — I felt happy being here!
