I feel fortunate to have found this studio over 7 yrs ago. I've practiced in person and virtually at Blue Banyon Yoga. Began taking yoga classes over 40 yrs ago. Hands down, these are the finest, most experienced, healthy, vibrant, attentive, well educated instructors I've ever encountered. I credit my current spine health which has had past needed surgical intervention to my practice and attention to the education I've received at Blue Banyan Yoga.
This place feels like my 'yoga home'. Before, during and after the pandemic, the staff at Blue Banyan creates a wonderful space for practice, whether in person or virtual. Would be lost without Sophie and her team! And, everyone in the community is kind & gracious and part of what makes this place special.
Sophie Simpson provides an ideal place for live human beings to practice Yoga together: one can concentrate and tap into the energy without distraction: her music is appropriately ambient. One will not suffer new age music at Blue Banyan!
