This class is designed for students who have a basic yoga foundation and experience at the beginner level. We mix flow yoga, core work, sun salutations, and intermediate yoga postures for a good workout, then top it off with relaxation. - Yogilates

From a July, 2010 class evaluation: “Susan is such a wonderful instructor. Those days when the day has just beat me to a pulp I leave feeling sooo rejuvenated. Susan has really helped me get through some really tough medical issues and given me encouragement. I LOVE REFORMER MAT!!! and I still love Yoga too.”
