I have been going to A Gentle Way for 5 years and it has been the best 5 years of my life. Lanita and all the teachers have helped me change the way I deal with stress, learn to be calm and peaceful, be open and accepting, and physically strong and relaxed. I am a better parent, friend and human being because of this studio. It isn't just yoga, it is the way this studio teaches yoga. Amazing, wonderful place! Everyone, no matter your physical condition, should try yoga the gentle way. Change your body and your life.
