Perfect pace multi-level class. I prefer a 75-min class and this class had well-balanced segments, never feeling rushed. Only my second class with this teacher and I found the instruction very clear and easy to follow with at least one new flow I hadn't had in other Level 1/11 Integral Yoga classes.

I have been to many Kirtans but I find this Kirtan to be incredibly special. It is deeply spiritual, intimate and the chanting/singing is beautifully accompanied with live acoustic instruments in a lovely, serene space.
