"Renee is a truly gifted yoga therapist [in-training] who brings her heart and soul to every session. Renee takes the time to listen, hear my goals, give me supportive feedback, and help me to mold a practice that works for me. Committing to individual sessions with Renee has elevated my yoga practice to a place I did not know was possible. I am so grateful for her expertise and wisdom."

"Renee and her classes have been a lifeline for me - I’m so grateful!" --Carolynne F., Florissant, CO
I was uncertain of what I could handle physically before I went on the retreat. It’s been a long time since I participated in anything like it. I enjoyed all of it very much. No matter the location Renee makes it a welcoming place, a place without judgment, a place to learn, a place to be yourself, and a place to grow and love others. She is an astute teacher, and a learner herself. Highly recommend.
