what people are saying

The first time I dropped into Amy's class, I had no idea what to expect. After an hour of laughing, sweating, and working my core like crazy, I was hooked! downDAWG yoga is a blast! It's also a serious workout. Amy has a way of encouraging people to challenge themselves that is both fun and caring. Every time I walk out of a downDAWG yoga class, I feel like I've spent an hour with friends. Even better, I know I'm going to feel the fun in every muscle of my body the next day! What more could you ask for?

"I could go on and on about how great a workout Amy's classes are ... fantastic for strengthening your core, excellent for toning your upper body, and dynamite for sculpting your butt ... but what I think of first about downDAWG yoga is FUN. Pure, unfiltered, joyous, fun. There is some kind of magic way that Amy makes me smile through the burn, and then shout for more - and shouting is encouraged!! To top it all off, there is no other class where I can shake my booty to wicked beats during every down dog. So even though her "4 seconds of your life" are definitely more like 10, I look forward to Amy's class every week and adore every minute of the burn!"
