We are lucky in Northwest Arkansas to have some wonderful yoga studios, but there is no doubt that AR Yoga is my favorite. It's such a pleasant and easy environment. If you have any reservations about attending a class or joining the community, they melt away at the door. It seems like, over time, yoga has shifted a bit toward athleticism and away from a holistic mind/body practice in many studios, but not at AR Yoga. When I leave the studio, I feel better about myself, but I also feel better about the world around me. That's something we all need more of in our lives, especially now.

The way the light moves through the studio creates such a peaceful and comfortable space. I love to watch it filter through the leaves in the back and through the wooden slats into the studio.

Read moreAndrea, Christina, Carrie, Marilyn and everyone I have ever taken class from at AYC is incredible!! The classes are structured in a way that I've never seen at a yoga studio. The concept of "variyoga" makes all of the yoga classes extremely accessible to everyone, no matter your skill level.

Time and time again I am impressed with their level of knowledge. I can't stress enough how unique and wonderful each class is at AYC. I highly recommend getting the new student unlimited package and trying every class on...
Read moreJust wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU again for your openness and willingness to let me come and share and connect at AYC.
Really enjoyed both of the classes and absolutely LOVE the Center you have created. Along with being beautiful in so many ways, the studio was also a very fantastic setting for the sound!
We will probably be coming back to the area in the spring, most likely April or May. Would love to discuss the possibility with you of perhaps offering some type of Sound Immersion experience at AYC when we come. Well, that and to see if there might be a class or two to pair up with. :)
If you're open to that I will reach out as soon as we have more definitive dates.
Mostly, this was just to say thanks again and let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you and connecting with your center and community of folks. You're doing a...
