Yoga with Avery

I'd give 10 stars if I could. Avery teaches at different yoga studios around town. (I like High Desert Yoga the best, and go to Avery's classes there.) But if you can make it to any of Avery's classes, at any of the studios she teaches at, GO! She is more highly trained than most of the yoga instructors you will ever have -- a CIYT, Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. That's a BIG deal! It doesn't matter how flexible you are (or not). Avery uses props in every class (blankets, blocks, straps, bolsters, folding chairs, sometimes sandbags) so that every pose is accessible to every student, and with proper alignment. During class she demo's every pose first, then guides you along with specific instructions - always with humor - so you can lengthen and strengthen deeper than you thought possible. Even after many yoga classes over the years, with different teachers, I often have "a-Ha" moments in Avery's classes where I (for once) "get" more subtle aspects of the pose that have eluded me, until now. If you want to take your yoga to a new level, then try Avery's classes!
