What Students Are Saying

Testimonials

I started practicing yoga at Studio Po almost two years ago. My stress and anxiety have decreased, I’m sleeping better, and I feel much more fit and flexible; before Studio Po I couldn’t even touch my toes, and now I can reach my toes and even stand on my head, which is something I never imagined I would be able to do. The teachers at Studio Po care about their students and will go above and beyond to help find appropriate pose modifications for students who experience any pain, discomfort, or inflexibility on any part of the body. Seriously love this place!

- Susan F.

I highly recommend this studio! I just came from a healthy back workshop and feel incredible! Earlier this year, I was inconvenienced with a herniated disk in my lower lumbar and coming to this studio was the best choice I made. In particular, Stephanie Tencer has been an incredible teacher. Very thorough. Her words and instruction sink in deeply during practice, which allows me to get deeper into my practice. The studio is clean, white and bright. There's a roof top sun window, to allow natural lighting. It's a very tranquil space.

- Megan M.

Had my first class today and it was amazing. I have done yoga in the past but never Iyengar Yoga. It's very different from any other yoga classes I've done, but in a really great way. I was a bit surprised by the lack of mirrors in the practice space. However, I actually found that I was able to listen to my body more about the corrections I needed rather than just looking in the mirror for corrections. So excited for my next class!

– Amanda M.

Had my first class with Stephanie (old and dear childhood friend) and am so thoroughly impressed with her combo of skill and kindness. Couldn't have chosen a better class to attend if I tried. Thank you.

– Judi L.

I've been working with Sharon and Stephanie for over a year and have seen huge improvements in my practice. The studio offers knowledgeable teachers, ample props available, lots of class times, very reasonable pricing, and a parking lot! You can't go wrong at Po :)

– Gina M.

I came back to Iyengar yoga practice after a year of shoulder and wrist problems/pain. Studio Po was a delight to find in the area. Big, bright welcoming studio space with very knowledgeable, precise instruction. After a month of once a week of practice my shoulder is in much better shape, and the pain in my wrist is almost completely gone. Highly recommend!

– Stevie M

I had my first class at po today and it was amazing. It's a learning process, but the instructor was very helpful. You learn the correct form and the how to extend your learning beyond the classroom. Thank you for a great class!

– Natalie S.

Beautiful, light-filled, well-equipped studio with excellent teaching and a wonderful warm community. Lots of classes at every level.

– Jill G.

Studio Po is a very special space and a very special community, filled with light, love, and integrity.

"But yoga is not just exercise. In every posture we are trying to put our body, our mind, our intelligence in a certain state. That is why yoga’s penetration is great, unlike in other exercises. But with yoga something quite different happens. You move somewhere deeper inside; you reach right up to that point where the core of your being is found at peace. That will not be found in any other exercise. But people have to be ready to reach up to that point." - Geeta Iyengar ✨ --- Thank you, @jkruse. Your workshop yesterday 'Essential Practice for Women' provided depth and perspective 🙏💛. --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #geetaiyengar #gemforwomen #yogaforhealth #yogaforwomen #yogaprops #yogaposes #yogaworkshop #yogalife #yogalove #yogaclass
