What
Our Students Are Saying:
Taking yoga classes
with Petrina has been a blessing. She has guided me to
find ways to move my body to release tensions and build
strength, things that I can now do on my own at home.
With practice, this has become easier and I have learned
to be more in tune with my own state of being, physically
and spiritually. Furthermore, Petrina always reminds
me to practice not just for myself, but for the benefit
of all sentient beings, especially the ones that are
the closest to me and the ones I feel challenged by.
- Maya A.
If the sailboat was my physical body and the wind was the energy moving
within me, practicing yoga with Petrina has helped me to "tack
better into the wind", no matter how light or strong, living my life with
more ease and clarity.
- Jackie U.
I’ve been in the field
of adult education for 20+ years and Brooke is an exceptional
teacher. For those of us new to yoga it can feel scary
at first. Brooke makes it totally safe. I always come
away knowing something more about myself and feeling great.
