These Yoga classes have been wonderful for helping me with my mobility issues and mental health. Paula is wonderful at making me feel included in her classes- as I struggle with some movements. I always feel better when I leave! -EJ
I feel very uplifted, positive and with a good mindset during, and after, Yoga with Paula. When I have been unable to attend during periods of illness, I have really missed it. The group is small but very supportive and encouraging to each other.
Paula has a lovely gentle manner and is an excellent teacher. My happy place. Thank you for the classes! – AB
