I finally got to one of Jim’s Saturday ashtanga improv classes. Wow I wish I could go every weekend. The community was so welcoming. Jim is an expert guide in creating and facilitating a personalized ashtanga practice. The cues and metaphors deepened my practice in the moment and keep me thinking about it afterwards. Jim will demonstrate or talk through modifications for any level. So fun as he adds a little of level 1,2 and 3 play into a very accessible class for all. Highly recommended.
The 2024 Yoga Nirvana retreat in France was amazing. The location was beautiful and the food (favorite part) was perfect. It almost felt like a family vacation/trip to me. I attended a Jim’s class back in 2013 and immediately felt a genuine connection with the studio and the way he instructed the class. To this day, I still attend his classes whenever I can because they keep me grounded and in one piece (lol). Yoga Nirvana is a community of friends!
I have been coming to Yoga Nirvana classes for several years now and also joined a recent retreat trip. Jim's advanced guidance and attention to detail for each student during class is the best I've found in the area. I really like the Ashtanga improv style class for a more traditional but varied flow. I've always felt supported, challenged and inspired to improve my practice here.
Both Jim and Vanessa were a delight during the retreat as well, where they took care of all accommodations, meals, yoga, and social gatherings. It was a wonderful retreat experience to say the least!
I highly recommend Yoga Nirvana and consider it a local gem! Check them out!
