I love AY! Wish there was a Sunday Bikram class and a periodic 6am.
I really appreciate all of the verbal cues you use to walk us through each position--it's so detailed that I can follow just about everything you say with my eyes closed, which helps me really focus on being 'in the now' and remain in that state. I also REALLY appreciate how you remind us of how WHAT we are doing impacts us in class and beyond (stay present, don't let your mind drift into future thoughts, stay with your breath, allow the breath to communicate what your body needs, etc.). Hearing these reminders consistently has massively helped train (me) to stay much more present in my day-to-day life and not get hijacked by anxious thoughts and the like. I hope you don't feel like a broken record, because it helps so much! I am so much more tethered to my breath these days, and whenever I feel overwhelmed, I'm much more likely to BREATHE and remember where I am. It's been ultra-healing. Coming to class is a true gift, THANK YOU!
Friendly staff and instructor (Christa) and challenging class!
I attended the winter solstice sound bath class and it was really special. My first time experiencing a sound bath and I loved it/
