The studio is located in Little Falls and surrounded by large indigenous trees. The studio is adjacent to the Little Falls Ridge, and the calm environment is ideal for a yoga practice. Guineafowl and bird song often adds to the sounds around the studio.
Our studio is spacious enough for small groups of up to 8 students per class.

“I use yoga as a tool to help reduce the stress of our daily lives, to heal and nurture the body, mind and soul. Yoga is a very personal journey and every yogi has different strengths and abilities. Yoga is accessible to everyone and with modifications, most yoga asanas (postures) can be practiced safely by all. In yoga, we listen to our bodies and aim to do no harm.”
