What people are saying
“I love my weekly Yiran yoga! I’m so glad that I’m back to yoga in general, and specifically doing a gentle practice, which is what my body needs right now. Your classes are always several things at once: interesting because you change things up and no class is exactly like another; I learn something new in every class, be it a different stretch, a pose modification that works better for me, or a breathing technique; I feel invigorated and relaxed at once after each class. Your class is complex, for mind, body, and soul. I go home every time feeling great!”

“I have absolutely found my yoga class with Yiran to be the perfect fit. I started gentle yoga on Wednesdays but moved to Fridays and the strengthening/balancing class and I am so happy I did. It is a little bit more challenging but I am learning so much about my own strength and abilities to hold poses. Yiran is very helpful and because it is a small group I appreciate the feedback I get in class every time.”

“I am really enjoying the class. I like the pace of the Hatha class, that we spend several breaths in each pose. This allows me time to relax in the pose and make adjustments if needed. The Brier location is also super convenient for me. I like walking to class.”

“I feel so nourished and balanced after practicing with Yiran. There's nothing to prove, nowhere to get to, just space to be, which is exactly the self care I needed after a long hiatus. The beautiful sound bath and poetry are such unexpected gifts. A warm and welcoming experience unlike any other in the area.”

“Love the class content and love that you mix it up, allow your student to do modified versions and how attentive you are to their needs and abilities. You are very calming and even your breathing is calming. You know your stuff and make it all look effortless.”

“My yoga experience has been great! The sessions go longer than my stretching sessions at home, which help me to relax more deeply, and to stretch and move in ways that I wouldn’t at home”
