RISEilience Wholehearted Yoga & Wellness Sanctuary & Phoenix Cafe

I have been practicing yoga for many years and have attended dozens of studios from one offs to up to 15 years of continuous membership at a studio where I was happy. Never have I found a studio that offers everything that I love and have sought~ instructors who are outstanding yet humble, a space that offers options - hot yoga or not- a schedule that offers diversity of both schedule and level of classes, an emotional warmth and acceptance that is immediately recognized , and so much more. Don’t hesitate! Check it out and visit the beautiful cafe afterwards!!! You will smile. 😊🙏😊

Riseilience is the best yoga space I've been to. I took a series of four group classes offered through my work. Krystle made us feel welcome just as we are. The other instructors were equally talented. Looking out at the treetops of downtown Amesbury while breathing and moving through poses was soothing and rejuvenating. I loved the availability of lockers and a changing space. I also enjoyed the coffee and tea! I will have to try those muffins! What a treasure right here in Amesbury.

Phoenix Café in Amesbury has quickly become one of my favorite places to start the day, reset my mood, or grab a nourishing treat. This café is more than just a place to eat — it feels like a cozy sanctuary where good energy, healthy food, and friendly people come together perfectly. Every visit leaves me feeling lighter, happier, and genuinely cared for. One item I absolutely cannot stop raving about is their PB Banana Muffin. It’s the perfect combination of wholesome and delicious — moist, naturally sweet, and full of rich peanut butter flavor without being heavy. The banana adds a comforting softness, and the balance of ingredients feels thoughtful and intentional. You can tell these muffins are baked with real ingredients and real love. It’s the kind of treat that satisfies your cravings while still feeling nourishing. I could happily grab one every morning. Their smoothies are another standout. Whether you’re choosing something fruity, creamy, or protein-packed, each smoothie is blended with care and never overly sweet. You can truly taste the freshness — ripe fruit, clean ingredients, and that perfect texture that makes every sip enjoyable. It’s refreshing, energizing, and ideal for anyone who wants something healthy that still feels indulgent. It pairs beautifully with their baked goods and makes for a perfect light breakfast or mid-day boost. What makes Phoenix Café truly shine, though, is the atmosphere. The staff is warm, patient, and welcoming, creating an environment that feels genuine and uplifting. The space is bright, clean, and relaxing — ideal for sitting with a book, chatting with a friend, or grabbing something nourishing on the go. If you’re in Amesbury and want a café that blends wellness, flavor, and heart, Phoenix Café is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Riseilience is one of the best additions to downtown Amesbury! As the owner of another small business i love being able to attend yoga classes on the regular, including any chance i have a break in my day. The space is so beautiful and extremely well thought out with everything you need from gorgeous studios, salt room, beautiful locker rooms and even showers! To top it off you can get snacks including Buddha bowls, Acai bowls, smoothies and other thought out bites including really good coffee! I took Caitilin's class and Jacquline's class this week and both were fantastic!!

We stopped into RISEilience yoga & wellness on our way past because it looked interesting. The initial flight of stairs were a little daunting, but once arriving at the top it opened to a lovely, welcoming space. Every one was so friendly. They showed us around and answered our questions. We ended up grabbing lunch and booking some time in their salt relaxation room. For lunch we tried two different bowls (one fruity and one chocolatey) and their ‘Toast of the day’ which was multigrain bread, ricotta, corn, walnuts and lavender honey. I forgot to take pictures, everything was very tasty and we couldn’t finish it all. Then we spent the next 30 minutes in the salt relaxation room. They offer anti gravity chairs, yoga mats or you can sit right in the salt. It was a private session so we were the only two in the room. With the soft light, soothing music playing and salty feel we dozed off until they gave a light tap on the door to let us know our session was complete. We did not use the free WiFi, have a tarot card reading, or utilize the sauna, room temp and hot yoga rooms so we will definitely be back!! Such a wonderful place with wonderful people -Go check it out!
