"Gita has a real gift for explaining the poses and describing any adjustments that are needed to get the maximum benefit out of the pose. I have always had trouble following verbal cues for physical poses, but Gita's guidance is always crystal clear. She is also really mindful of what poses are well suited to a prenatal practice, and every class includes poses that address the immediate needs of a pregnant woman as well as prepare the body (and mind!) for labor and delivery." -Jill L.
