I am in love with this yoga studio. I have been practicing regularly here since 2010, not long after it opened. At first I went because it was convenient, a block from work with noon yoga classes. I also loved that the prices are reasonable, that the vibe is friendly, and that it feels like each person is welcomed for who they are. These elements combined (and maybe because of the location?) mean that there's a diverse range of people who show up in classes (and teach the classes, too). Within the "convenience" I got practical instruction that helped heal injuries, and helped me understand my own body in the practice better. After a few years of regular practice here I signed up for the teacher training program. I thought I was doing it to deepen my own practice, more than to become a teacher. I discovered that, for me, the two go hand-in-hand. I really enjoyed the year-long program. I felt it gave me space to integrate and try on what I was learning before getting the actual certificate, with plenty of practice teaching time mixed in. And then I kept going: I completed the 500 hour program last year. Now yoga is a daily part of my life in a way that feels authentic, useful, and meaningful. I am so grateful for that! I still practice here regularly and feel lucky to now teach her as well.
