Testimonials
Sept. 17, 2012, from Susan J.:
“Thank you In Touch for a much needed week of yoga. Your blissful studio in Maderia Park is just what I needed to restore a sense of balance and peace. Brigit’s instruction and constant checking in with yogis makes all the difference. Her slight adjustments help to fully and comfortably benefit from the pose. In fact I enjoyed my daily week of yoga at In Touch I am already looking at booking into another week next year! Thank you again – I already miss your studio!”
