This class is for beginners, but also for anyone that just may want a slower yoga class. Not only will you be guided through the session, but you will be educated on yoga poses.

As a beginner I learn that breathing is very important to yoga. In this class I can feel my mistakes are a part of my journey. While in this class you can make mistakes but still learn. Highly recommend my experience was great.

I love the way Yely broke down the butterfly pose so that I understood my entire body's response and what was best for me. Yely has given me tools to explore my own alone times on the mat and her encouragement has led me to begin to look deeper into the practice of yoga.

This was a wonderful experience for me. I am just getting back into yoga after being out for years. Yely was attentive and demonstrated the way to do yoga moves, but also the why for these movements! What a great teacher!!
