Reviews

Breathe Yoga has received a bevy of local press; Four Yelpers give it an average of 4.5 stars and previous customers give positive testimonials about the studio's classes:

• I have been wanting to try yoga for years, but never found the right setting until I started practicing at breathe. I felt safe and comfortable learning in the "new to yoga" class and have enjoyed the philosophy at breathe that has allowed me to challenge myself at my own pace and focus on being present during my practice rather than doing each pose perfectly. – Aaron Olden
• yoga classes are fantastic! – jojo h., Yelp
