Andrea is a thoughtful, attentive and inspiring teacher. I am enjoying this class as a great introduction to Iyengar yoga. The facility is beautiful.
Iyengar yoga with Susan Elena is amazing. As someone who is hyperflexible and was constantly pushed by other yoga teachers to abuse my joints for the sake of making a post, Iyengar is a relief. I do feel like I'm getting stronger and more flexible in a way that is in integrity with my body. I'm excited to deepen my practice by doing more yoga and would highly recommend this studio for anyone either getting into yoga or who has a lot of experience. Susan Elena clearly is extremely experienced and can help people from all backgrounds and levels.
I highly recommend this studio. If you haven’t tried Iyengar yoga before, you need to. It will change your yoga practice dramatically and your body. Susan Elena is a wealth of knowledge & takes care to make sure that students are taking care of their bodies throughout the class.
I am forever grateful for Susan Elena's profoundly therapeutic sequences, attentive and nurturing approach to teaching, astute eye, and understanding of the whole human organism (nervous system, musculature system, respiratory system, psyche, etc.). And her humor, of course :).
Beautiful studio, welcoming and dedicated students, and an outstanding teacher (Susan-Elena) who gives the absolute best cueing and hands on adjustments I have ever experienced. Grateful for IYCWM
i could not overstate how much I love this yoga studio. Susan Elena is an amazing teacher, and after just a couple of months the practice of Iyengar yoga is greatly supporting not only my yoga practice, but my posture, strength, balance, and awareness throughout the rest of my life. so grateful for IYCWM!
I recommend all the classes to everyone! Susan ma'am is very knowledgeable and takes the students through a fun filled and uplifting yoga journey which is strongly integrated with philosophy, strong practice and restoration. Individual and group classes are tuned to individual requirements with precise instructions and each pose/asana is customized for what is needed for that particular day to feel harmony in the body, mind and emotions. Ever grateful to my teacher, Susan Elena Esquivel! :)
Susan-Elena is a great teacher. Whether you're new to yoga or experienced, I'd recommend signing up for a class!
Wonderful studio, fantastic teachers!
Fantastic. Susan Elenas careful observations and subtle adjustments make all the difference
In the Gratitude class today, Susan Elena once again delivered with a brilliant sequence and tied it to yoga philosophy and toped it off with poetry.
I ve been a student here for many years. Susan and her instructors share a deep, caring philosophy and practice that underlies their excellent instruction.
Excellent class by Uday Bhosale. A truely expert teacher who is also funny and kind
Thank you IYCWM for another great ropes class!! I feel two inches taller.
Just what I needed today!
I feel like Im learning very fast in this class.
Always a pleasure to attend. Susan Elena is personable, highly qualified and entertaining. I always leave a better person in body and soul.
Susan Elena is an engaging and gifted teacher. If you want to go deeper and find your areas that need strengthening, she will be your guide. I also felt nourished and cared for in the process.
Wonderful class, I loved the use of props, specific instructions and hands-on adjustments.
Loved this class focused on twists! Lois is knowledgeable and patient - always a pleasure to take the Thursday night class.
Susan Elana is an incredibly gifted and giving teacher. Her decades of learning and teaching and her dedication to Iyengar yoga shines through in every detail in her classes. Take a class, you will not be disappointed! - Renee
Susan Elena is such a gifted teacher who always provides high-quality instruction. She always knows how to make every pose accessible for all students, and I love the joy and brightness she brings to every class. I especially recommend her Back Care series, a true gem for all of us! I need help with my lower back (tightness and pain), and her Back Care classes have been so helpful. Mariahs mindfulness classes are one of the highlights of my week! Not only do I enjoy the group discussions and meditation instructions, I find that Im always able to carry her teachings into my daily life.
