The entire operation is run very professionally. First, all of the technical equipment is state of the art. It seems like no expense was spared in the acquisition of the lighting, the audio, Giana's headset, the webcam, and all of the other behind-the-scenes gear that makes the classes run smoothly. It was smartly chosen and installed in a way that makes it an integral part of the class without calling attention to itself. Second, I appreciate the effort that Giana puts into 'lesson planning', as it were. As the class start-time approached, she would begin relating a story to us, as if just having a conversation. But in fact the story would turn out to be an allegory for the theme of the class. One minute you're just listening to her talk about an experience her sister had in Sedona, and the next minute you're settling into your starting yoga position with your mind on the goal of the day's class. The background music throughout the class is specifically supportive of the goal, and it's smartly chosen. And then she just as smoothly brings it all back to the opening story at the end of the sixty minutes, reinforcing the class's goal, and lending closure to the lesson. It was structured in the manner of a good sermon, but not at all preachy. As a teacher, Giana was both strong and nurturing. She led us through our paces with confidence and authority, but she wasn't hesitant to quietly approach the mat and use a laying-on of the hands to help a novice (like myself) adjust to the proper position. Nice touch. My stay in Fort Myers was just ten days, but I managed to take thr
