Studio D Yoga

Debbie started teaching under me at a local club here in Richmond. I just saw so much potential in her that I asked her if she wanted to teach. I think she was a bit hesitant to take on such a huge task but I knew she would be wonderful once she was over this jitters. She started teaching parts of my classes while studying the art of Yoga and then one day she just took to it like a duck takes to water. She grew into this fantastic teacher with this vast knowledge of Yoga and the human body in general. I am amazed she took to it so quickly and she was such a natural it was amazing to watch. I am so proud of who Debbie has become and I am so impressed with her Studio and her drive to succeed. I know we have talked about being small business owners and each of us feel like we are always running in 10,000 different directions but I really do think we are both doing amazing and we both have such a drive that it is impossible to fail!
As far as the Yoga, it is fantastic! The studio is lovely and very relaxing! That is how it should be.

The space is pleasant, but I wasn’t terribly impressed with the instructor I went to. Part of it was that the «Hatha yoga» class was slower paced than what I’m accustomed to. (I usually do iyengar/​anusara influenced yoga, so that’s saying a lot). The instruction was ok, but didn’t focus enough on preventing overflexing of the lumbar curve. I’d try it again, as it’s hard to really evaluate a studio based on one teacher. (Plus the $ 5 intro was pretty sweet)
