    great teacher. I really enjoyed her lessons. Explains things well and can teach you in a very short time. She obviously knows exactly how to explain things and knows what exercises you need in order to learn + understand

    MissG is such a patient instructor. As a beginner, she reassured me that it was totally fine to not be able to do all of the yoga poses and that eventually I will be able to do them. This entire session was filled with zen and positivity. Thank you MissG and I am looking forward to booking several follow up lessons.

    MissG was patient with me. She reiterated that it is okay not to completely be able to do certain poses, and that eventually I will be able to do so. This lesson was Zen and positive all throughout and I am looking forward to scheduling follow up lessons with MissG.
