So very grateful for this beautiful space. Kate led our class with such grace. Her voice is incredibly soothing and the pose transitions were very smooth. Kate was able to modify the poses for individuals of all levels. She allowed us to challenge ourselves while also simply giving us time to breathe into each pose. Thank you for your healing energy Kate! Will definitely be back! Bonus points- the studio is right next to a lovely dessert club and a cafe with delicious food and drinks to grab after your flow.
