A great studio space; I love the plants and natural light. The instructors are welcoming and I love how they give modifications often and that you can ask them questions. I've enjoyed many classes over the years and will be doing Yin again in the fall.

Tamara's classes are exactly what I need every week. She incorporates a variety of poses and works on strengthening, flexibility as well as relaxation. Her knowledge and experience with yoga is outstanding! She offers lots of variations to the poses so that everyone can participate and benefit. You will never be disappointed after going to her classes!

If you haven’t tried Pure Zen Yoga Studio yet, you have to put it at the top of your list! I fell in love with this studio many years ago and haven’t strayed. They have classes that cater whatever you’re body needs, from relaxation to a good challenge. Not to mention, the instructors make you feel welcome from the minute you step into the studio.
