Datza Studios — Local services in Seattle

This is a review for Datza's wonderful studio, as well as a response to the concerned woman in the previous comment.

If you are not practicing with Datza and her yogis you are missing OUT on a world of sparkle goodness for your body and soul! I started going to Datza's mid-2018 and can't imagine not having her and the studio in my world.

Datza brings the skills and soul and the intention and the attention and the fun to living our best lives.
