An athlete doesn't always make a great teacher. People who trained as dancers or gymnasts can do things that men with tight hamstrings and other regular Americans with injuries and physical limitations simply can't do.
What makes the teachers at infinite bliss amazing is their ability to pay attention to their students bodies and keep us safe and challenged. All yoga studios say to "listen to your body", but the teachers at infinte bliss meet you half way and closely observe your form to prevent injury before it happens. I can practice at IB everyday and feel great, by keeping us safe the teachers help free us to go deeper into our practices.
Also the teachers bring cool science into the classroom, which is a definite plus for a science and nature fan like myself. And the teacher's often have great playlists that reflect their unique personalities.
I was able to come to IB lead teacher Denise with some acute injuries including a shoulder injury I sustained from practicing at a different yoga studio, and a lumbar spine injury from snowboarding and both times I was amazed at her level of knowledge and techniques that helped me and speeded my recovery.
The other awesome thing about IB are the positive vibes. When stress gets me down a class at IB usually leaves me feeling centered, free, and strong.
