Ashley Mead, a digital marketing consultant, gives us a rave! Check out her blog for her review of Yoga Among Friends! Thanks Ashley!

may 19, 2011
"I appreciate the integrity of teaching and respect for tradition at Yoga Among Friends. Students receive individual attention and inspiration to grow. If you are new, it is a safe environment to learn. If you're more experienced, you are challenged to deepen. YAF is a sanctuary that nourishes me ~ body, mind and spirit. Also, I love the people and sense of community - it truly lives up to it's name."

- Mary Lothrop
