Practicing yoga poses improves strength, flexibility and balance, and helps us achieve our best health, function, and enjoyment of life. Compassion begins at home. As we practice poses, we learn to listen and make good choices, no matter our age or ability. This helps us develop compassion for ourselves, which then spreads to other beings.

I've attended a lot of yoga classes in my life. Gudmestad is the best. I'm constantly impressed by the depth of knowledge of yoga as well as physiology and physical therapy. I've wrestled with back problems for 20 years. Julie was the first person to zero in on the problem and provide a path to recovery.
