I greatly appreciated Marie-Aude's organization and steadily-paced
presentation of the workshop. I also found her personal attention and
individual bodily adjustments to be invaluable! Her sense of humor was
delightful and very motivating. Her informal dharma talk at the close
each class was very unpretentious and accessible. I especially liked her
down-to-earth approach because I've suffered through years of lofty,
over-spiritualized teachings, from not only yoga instructors, but from
"masters" of martial arts to "gurus" of religion!! Having printed
material, complete with photographs, was extremely helpful. I loved
being able to refer to the sun salutations as I approached my private
yoga practice the next morning. I was delighted to discover that the
space was fresh and clean, the music was soft and pleasant, the
temperature was comfortable, and parking was abundant. I liked the
rhythm of the workshop - it was fluid, focused, and vivacious. I
appreciated Marie-Aude's willingness to accept questions and answer them
thoroughly. Also, the fact that she circulated the room frequently,
projected her voice effectively, and demonstrated postures/flows so that
all could see, made my learning experience a fruitful one.

"Just wanted to say thank you. I know it isn't possible, but it feels as though the last four classes have been just for me - exactly the right amount of challenge and releasing. I do feel I've made some progress, though it may be just barely discernible. I came in today pretty stressed and left feeling like I really can do all that I need to.
It must be about your one-year anniversary, and I'm so grateful for your classes. Congratulations on your anniversary, whenever it is/was. Your classes have made a definite difference in my life, and I hope you'll continue teaching in the east mountain area for a long time." Catherine R., Cedar Crest, NM
