Kudos to Sundance for offering virtual classes during Covid-19. Thanks, Valerie! I live a couple of hours away from the studio, so I would not be able to take Deborah Beard's wonderful Gentle Yoga Class if not offered online. I practiced yoga many years ago and was hesitant to sign up. So glad I did! Deb offers modifications for various poses, ever mindful of her students' needs. Her instructions are clear and her personable, caring spirit permeates each class. Gentle yoga has helped me focus on the importance of proper breathing, stretching, and flexibility. With every passing week, I am getting stronger!

I took a group of students ( ages 9-12)to Sundance Yoga Studio for a field trip this week. Valerie was so great and provided a class that helped the students focus on breathing, mindfulness, and mediation. She was so helpful and I know my students had a great time! I would recommend this to any teacher who is looking to plan a field trip to help meet the emotional or behavioral needs of their students. We hope to take another trip next year!

Sunday morning Sweaty Yoga class with Jamie is excellent! It's not hot yoga but it's not cold either. The room is just slightly warm. Jamie is an excellent teacher who is knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of her students. I love that the music playlist is instrumental and chill, not like the blaring loud hip hop of other hot yoga studios.

Very warm and welcoming environment! The instructor's are very knowledgeable, encouraging and love sharing their insights of yoga with everyone that walks in the door! I wouldn't want to go anywhere else to practice and strengthen my own yoga skills!

What a great place! They have lots of the equipment you need like blocks and straps. The studio has pretty lighting, and there is a place to stash belongings right in the room. It's a very peaceful place.
