This place “rocks” lol! I’m so grateful to have found a studio to practice at. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from throughout the day and evening. Moira (owner) is nice, Kim (manager) is very sweet, and the other yogis seem so welcoming to new people. The best part, imho, is Alex Ali! He’s such a kind soul, very knowledgeable about all things yoga and herbal medicine, and so very patient and helpful with his offerings of the yoga poses. He is the best! Thank you all for being

Moira has challenged me in ways I never thought possible...read full review
