I found Ashtanga Yoga many years ago but it was not until I found AYM and Deb that the I truly started practicing Ashtanga. What truly sets this yoga studio apart is Deb’s unwavering dedication to her students' well-being. She takes the time to understand each individual's needs and provide personalized guidance and adjustments. I always feel supported and encouraged to explore my practice further.For those who are ready to show up on the mat and commit to the practice of Ashtanga yoga, I cannot recommend AYM highly enough.

I started practicing Ashtanga in 2019 and felt very stuck in 2021 where I didn't feel like I was improving in my practice.

I hope to practice with Deb for as long as possible! I also love the community here. People are so motivated to do what they love and push themselves to be better. Ashtanga isn't for everyone, it's very repetitive and does not fit certain personality types who want the "flow" type yoga. Folks who are leaving negative reviews have not even taken a class and have not experienced the energy of the shala. What a shame for them!
