"What I wanted to relay to you is how very thankful I am that I landed in your class and that I had you as a guide. In your class and in your heart, you created a space for laughter and tears and vulnerability and empathy and to be brave through the roller coaster of having a child. And when I suffered pretty badly from post partum last year I felt brave enough to ask for help. And when I got (surprise) pregnant again last summer I felt brave enough to ask for help. And when we moved across the country in the fall, the first place I sought out was a yoga studio here to find laughter and tears and vulnerability and strength amongst other women. I am so grateful to you for planting that seed for me almost two years ago. This studio has sustained me this (very scary) second pregnancy and I have you to essentially thank for it. Thank you so much. And keep doing what you’re doing and strengthen these women! We need you!"

"She encourages her students to go further in their practice but isn't too airy fairy about it all."

"My daughter loves bringing along her own mat, wearing her Little Grasshopper T-shirt and meeting her friends each week. The classes are beautifully crafted for kids offering a perfect combination of instruction and enjoyment. She returns home excited to teach us her new poses. It is a joy to experience her enthusiasm for yoga and to be raising a happy, healthy and focused child."

"Movement has always been a part of my life. One of the most important. It is in that space where I can completely surrender, feel and express my truest self. Over the years I sought the kind of activities that would challenge my mind and body, and breaking a sweat was a must. Somehow yoga never fit into that. With time, and life's unexpected turns, I slowly drifted away from any kind of exercise and trying to get back into it only became harder and any attempt at it was more a source of frustration than the bliss I remembered. That is, until I met Connie. By the first class I knew something was going to change. And three years later, I can say she made me fall inlove with yoga, and more importantly brought my passion back to life. With ease and an innate honesty to the practice, that is felt in every class, she manages to challenge, grow and nurture the yogi in us all. And within the class, she cultivates an energy that brings us all together, making it feel like even in our individual search, we are a unit, moving together in harmony. From her voice, guiding touch, music choices, to the surprising flows she throws in to create variety, she has been an unsurpassed teacher, a friend and a person I am so grateful to have in my life."

"As an NYC local for the past 10 years, I’ve tried many yoga studios and experienced the various practices of countless instructors. It wasn’t until I met Connie a few years ago that I discovered I have a yoga home. Whether it be in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or at an upstate retreat, every time I’ve had the pleasure to practice with Connie I’ve felt powerful, revitalized and fulfilled. As a former athlete with a high-stress job, Ive found that Connie’s teachings have always centered my spirit, while challenging my body at the same time. Whether I’m seeking to push myself and have a great workout, or find an opportunity to seek clarity in the midst of the everyday ‘stressure’ – I can always find what I seek through learning and growing alongside my favorite yogi and friend. She brings the warmest energy and a kind, open-heart to every session. I will forever be in debt to Connie for the light she’s helped me discover within myself."

Michael M.

"After years of various attempts to "get into yoga", it finally clicked during my first class with Connie. She confidently and firmly leads her classes, all the while radiating great warmth and a complete lack of pretension. Each class is different and I learn something unexpected and subtle every time. Connie is an inspiration and I'm deeply grateful to have her as my teacher."

Andrea N.

"I went from knowing not a single thing to advancing at a quick steady pace because of her dedication, resourcefulness and insight on how to break things down per an individuals' capabilities and learning style. Her classes are fun, exciting, educational, and varied. The classes adapt to all skill levels very seamlessly. My love of yoga has grown tenfold and I attribute it to the foundation that Connie's classes and attention has provided. Lastly, my practice continues to advance even when not under her direct instruction, because she makes herself accessible and available always for advice/insight."

Vivien C.

"I finish sessions with Connie feeling more confident in my body than I have in years. Her poses and enthusiasm draw on my strengths to make me optimistic about improving and eager to work. Her exercises help me feel stronger and more aware of my body than I ever remember being, but never drained. While she is extremely knowledgeable and focused, she is also light-hearted and empathetic so workouts are always fun. She replies to emails quickly, offers tips between sessions, and obviously spends time planning ways to make each week's session new and interesting. Work with Connie is about enhancement and decompression, not stressing over what you can't do."
