    I have been going to Paxon studio and formally Gudmestad Studio for over 10 years. Every single teacher is fantastic. All teachers focus on proper alignment and using props when needed. I always feel safe in knowing I won’t hurt myself and my strength has vastly improved along with flexibility. Classes are taught by terms and it’s easy to make up classes missed. There is also special focus classes and yoga retreats. I highly recommend this studio!

    With 20+ years of Yoga experience across disciplines I appreciate Beth's emphasis on posture and alignment. After having two kids and returning to yoga this has been *perfect* to get me back into my body in an amazingly healthy and supported way.

    I love taking classes at Paxson Yoga Center. A friend told me about it years ago when it was Gudmestad Yoga, but it's taken me all this time to start taking classes here. I am on my second term and I know I'll continue for years here. All the teachers are terrific, and I am particularly taken with Hope Fyfield. Hope has a light, humorous and gentle approach, yet her yoga goes very deep. I have seen a lot of change in my practice since I've been taking her classes; she takes me right to the fundamentals and I have gained strength and understanding from her teaching.
