Much appreciation for the two teachers whose classes I attended this past week; Stephanie Rose for so seemingly effortlessly leading us to connect back to our inner self and Fiji McAlpine for being willing to brave a snowstorm and lead us in a dynamic class which reminded me how strong we can be in lunge pose! Thank you 🙏🏼💗🙏🏼

This is my favorite yoga studio. The environment is warm, radiant, calm and clean. The people who instruct and practice here are friendly and welcoming. My mind, body and soul are happy when I practice here. Yin with Nadia is my absolute favorite. “Core, Hips and Hammies” is a close second.
