Taking yoga with Joan was such a wonderful experience. At the beginning of her classes she asks if there are any requests for targeted focus and will tailor and adjust the class based on requests. I love how Joan intuitively adjusted her speed and difficulty level based on the client range. I never felt like I was in over my head and was happy to be given modifications for making movements easier or more challenging. I’m looking forward to joining more yoga sessions with Joan, her classes found their way into my life at just the perfect time!

I really enjoyed taking yoga with Joan, and in spite of the early mornings, I became a morning person for her class! I appreciated how Joan would always offer modifications for poses that I couldn't do or that were too challenging for me. She made me feel comfortable and supported. Overall, I had a wonderful experience taking yoga with Joan. She is a talented and caring instructor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding yoga practice.
