-”I wish I had taken this class years ago before getting deeply into yoga practice.”
-”Extremely well-organized and sequenced, focused, and fun!”
-”I feel like I have a light  saber in my core. This class brought it all together!”
When I developed the “Strong on the Inside” class series and workshop, I wanted to bring together the core information that I had learned from various disciplines. So I think this class brings clarity to core work from yoga (the bandahs), Physical Therapy,  and Gyrotonic. And it feels great. Come check it out at BYC!
