Nancy S.

“I especially liked your attitude”

“This class series was a great introduction for me even though I have had a handful of yoga classes through the years. I liked the time we spent learning each pose, I think the somewhat-intense 2-days a week classes for 4 weeks was a great way to feel like I “got it” by the end, and I especially liked your very forgiving attitude towards us “newbies.” It made me feel good about the things I now know. Thanks!”

Casey

“I recommend this”

“This class was a great introduction to yoga for a beginner. it offered variety - interspersing breathing and meditation with poses and stretching. I recommend this for someone interested in getting started with yoga but doesn’t know where to begin. Thanks, David.”

Nancy G.

“Great for fibromyalgia”

“The class was very relaxing. I was able to work at my own pace. I believe this is a great yoga class for those with fibromyalgia. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Wonderful instructor!”
