I have been a member of this yoga studio for around 7 months now and am so glad I joined! My lower back pain and knee pain have disappeared almost entirely. The tension in my neck and shoulders (from computer work) has gotten a lot better. My energy and vitality have improved.
I recently took a women's self-defense class with Michelle! I just want to start by saying how grateful I am that they offered this class! The main instructor, Michelle, was AMAZING! Michelle and the staff were so passionate and knowledgeable about women's safety and martial arts.
Guest of a special event. Great location and wonderful energy. Thanks for the welcome.
