Sarah is the yoga teacher that I want to be like if I were a yoga teacher. She’s completely unassuming and yet she seems to tap into another world just before class begins; she must have some sort of special psychic powers. I’m not sure if she’s meditating a few hours a day or if […]

CLASS SPOTLIGHT-STEPHANIE THOMPSON
Stepping into Stephanie’s candlelit yoga class on a Thursday evening is like stepping into a faraway land.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT WITH MALLORY DILLION
I’ve heard about this gal Mallory for a few years now but hadn’t gotten to her class; the time has come. I’m slightly nervous after I enter the room as the class is pretty crowded and Mallory is super fit. Not only that but her students are super fit and it’s a nighttime class so […]
