Edward M. says, "MY NAME IS EDWARD M. ALICIA BUVIS IS MY KIND OF YOGA INSTRUCTOR. I RECOMMEND HER. I MET HER THROUGH AN ON-LINE APP THAT MATCHES VARIOUS TEACHERS WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO LEARN THINGS SUCH AS GUITAR PLAYING, SINGING, AND YOGA. BEFORE MEETING HER, I HAD COMPLETED A 5 WEEK GROUP INTRODUCTORY COURSE AT A LOCAL RECREATION CENTER. TO MEET MY GOAL OF FEELING COMFORTABLE IN A LARGE CLASS SETTING, I WANTED PRIVATE LESSONS TO LEARN POSES, BREATHING AND TWISTS. BUT THEN CAME COVID CLOSURES, SO ON-LINE BECAME THE ONLY CHOICE FOR ME. ALICIA OFFERS VIRTUAL, LIVE ON-LINE YOGA INSTRUCTION. WE MEET TWICE A WEEK ON-LINE ( FOR ALMOST NINE MONTHS NOW). AND MY YOGA PRACTICE IS GOING STRONG. BECAUSE OF ALICIA, I'M CONFIDENT TO KNOW THAT WHENEVER THE PANDEMIC IS OVER, I WILL ENJOY COMMUNITY YOGA GROUP CLASSES. BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. THANKS ALICIA. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO YOU.

I've been working with Alicia for a couple years now and she is a great energy to have in my life. I initially came to her because I needed to tap into more of my feminine energy, so we did some reiki and lots of Yin yoga. I feel flexible and strong, both physically and mentally! I highly recommend her!

I felt a connection with Sarah immediately after taking one of her yoga workshops. After a few classes with Sarah, I knew she was the yoga role model I was seeking. Sarah guided me with her love of yoga, inspired my mind, and taught me to trust my instincts in my yoga journey. She is a confident guide, sharing her immense depth of knowledge. I would highly recommend working with Sarah Lindgren!

Matt is a phenomenal guitar teacher! He has the formal education and the passion necessary to be a truly effective instructor. After every lesson, he e-mails me a summary of what I need to work on. He makes learning guitar fun but also holds me accountable. And he teaches all ages. Lessons with Matt are the highlight of my week!
