As a chronic 'beginner' (due to lack of practice between classes), I really appreciate Elaine's skill and patience in helping everyone who attends the Saturday mid-day 'introductory' sessions. Elaine never seems annoyed if you can't get a pose right on the first try--even if she's shown it to you many times before. She also is very attentive to people who have medical conditions that limit their abilities, and knows which props to use to allow them to participate as fully as they can. The people attending the 'intro' class are very welcoming and interested in their fellow students. Nobody competes to be the best (or the most fashionable), and everyone is really supportive of each other. Since you don't have to bring any equipment and it's pay-as-you-go, it's a great way to see if Iyengar yoga is a style that suits you. My wife takes a week off from work to go to the Kofi Busia workshops every year, because she finds them so inspiring. Elaine and her colleagues have created a very nice environment for learning, and there's even plenty of free parking in the studio's basement!

Love this place! Have been selling my chakra gemstone jewelry line for over a year there & love the feel of the botique. Just took my first teacher training there & it was amazing! Keep up the good work.
