Great Personalized Yoga Classes!!!

by majicmrk

I love studio 1831?s cozy, intimate atmosphere. The first class I attended was taught by Valerie Rushmere, a really experienced instructor. She emphasized correct alignment and how to transition safely from one pose to another. The classes were typically small so there was a lot of individual attention and the people there were very friendly and welcoming.

• Pros: very warm, friendly environment
• Cons: N/A

yoga, pilates, belly dance

Are you a bit overweight and/or out of shape? I've had many yoga and fitness instructors over the years. Valerie stands out amongst them. She is patient, always careful to protect your body from strain, very focused on alignment. I'm a little bit heavy - and I have found at Studio 1831 the two things that are most important to me are: I feel comfortable in the classes and the exercises are modified for my abilities. At Studio 1831, you truly work to your own abilities. It is just plain wonderful!

• Pros: safety, supportive atmosphere, everyone is comfortable
• Cons: parking can be a challenge
