Testimonials:
“Kyra’s yoga classes truly helped me to stay centered during my pregnancy.  I don’t think it is a coincidence that my son is so calm and mellow, even at 8 months… I really believe that her yoga classes helped form his personality.  Plus, I so looked forward to Kyra’s classes every week.  They kept my body from aching and helped my mind stay relaxed and excited for my new baby.  I hope that she will continue bringing calmness to pregnant women’s lives through prenatal yoga… it was a true gift to all of us.” –Robin Kaplan

“Kyra’s class still stands out amongst all other yoga classes because of her gentle manner, beautiful music and reminders to appreciate our bodies.  I just wanted her to know how much joy and inspiration I got from her class” –Lynn Walrath 

“I cannot begin to tell you how much the prenatal yoga classes are helping me.  I cancel any other plans just to be there as it makes such a difference.” – Dana Houston-Jackson

“The prenatal yoga classes have been a highlight of my pregnancy.  I have really enjoyed Kyra’s teaching style and her warm and gentle spirit.” – Jen Stein
