Iâve been coming to the Pilgrimage of the Heart studio for only three months, and joined as a member after my two-week trial membership ran out. And Iâm so glad I did!
The community of teachers at this studio are so knowledgeable and welcoming! They have strengthened my body and calmed my mind by leading their unique wonderful classes. Deep gratitude to the following teachers: Kaitlyn, Madison, Lauren, Kelly, Nam, Sydney, and Madison, Heather and Kara.
