I'm so glad I joined Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga! Since joining under their $25 unlimited for 2 weeks. I've attended 7 classes in the past week including Gentle Yoga, Flow I-II, Yin Restore Yoga, Yoga All Levels and a meditation class. All have been wonderful and the teachers are fantastic! I love the whole vibe for kindness to yourself and others. I'm looking forward to attending more!

This studio is beautiful, in a fairly accessible space, and has an addicting atmosphere! I started attending class a few weeks ago and find myself wanting to go not because I "should, " but because I want to feel good. The instructors I've interacted with are awesome, and the front desk staff are very welcoming and helpful. I hope to continue attending class here often!
