From the reviews
I took my very first yoga class ever with Amber during the Sunrise session and it was incredible. Talk about a great way to start your day! She was very clear about going at your own pace, mine being a snail’s, and was very helpful when it came to forming me properly all while respecting my space.
I have been practicing yoga off and on for 15 years, so needless to say I am pretty picky when it comes to instructors. Amber at Harvest Yoga is kind, fun, and encouraging to everyone to listen to the needs of their bodies.
Our family has been in the Harvest family for a few years now. The kids enjoy their martial arts classes while my husband and I enjoy the adult classes as well. I cannot imagine my journey to better physical and mental space without Amber Joy’s yoga or kickboxing with Justin.
We originally signed our daughter up for martial arts (Han Mu Do), but it quickly became more than just another after-school activity. It has truly become a way of life! This school is a community, a family, and the mat becomes the great equalizer, especially for the kids.
New to BJJ? Start at The Harvest Concept
The Harvest Concept comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at The Harvest Concept
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
