The Woes of a Busy, Stressful Life (or Pointless Fights and Arguments, Oh My!)
Hurry. Rush. Go-go-go. That's the motto of the 21st century.
Our health, relationships, and quality of life suffer as a consequence.
Tell me if this sounds familiar. You have a crappy day. Maybe a friend or co-worker pissed you off.
You get mad and take it out on your partner. Then you feel guilty, because it wasn't their fault. What a mess.
Wouldn’t it be nice to press pause and compose yourself during turbulent times? You can with the power of yoga.

FAQ
Why should I care when I have other things to do? Yoga is scientifically proven to reduce stress and depression. Combine yoga with a healthy diet to lose weight and feel great.
How does it work? We begin with a free consultation. If the match proves to be compatible, we'll customize yoga lessons to fit the unique snowflake you are (cheesy, I know, but it's true). 😉
Sounds great, but how much is this going to cost? $60 per lesson. That sounds like a lot, but it's not. Let's say you bring 2 friends. That would cut your cost by 2/3 (you'd pay $20 each). That's fair. I bet you spend that much on coffee every week. Yoga is more life-changing than your favorite Starbucks drink.
What type of yoga can I expect? You have 3 options. You are welcome to choose 1 you like most or mix it up. A: Fun Fast Flow (yoga poses performed at a speedy pace to raise your heart-rate). B: Strong Flow (power poses to boost strength and confidence). C: Restore and Renew (a perfect way to calm down after a hectic day).
Why not take private lessons at a yoga studio? Yoga studios are awesome, but their private lessons can be a bit steep. The benefit of working with us = you may split the cost with friends to lower how much $$$ comes out of your pockets (and the convenience of being able to meet at a time + place of your choice is definitely a plus). 🙂
