Patti Doyle - Sunday 8:30AM Vinyasa, Sunday 10AM Heated Vinyasa II

I think I can safely say that the jury is in about the owner of Thames Street Yoga, Patti D; and the they’ve found her guilty of being totally awesome! The few classes I attended have been super creative and masterfully crafted - we go from one place to another, and then boom - my leg goes there, arm there, swoop - and wow I’m upside down before I know it! Her soothing voice, down to earth yet stylish demeanor, and incredible attention to each student, makes her classes challenging in the most gratifying way.  She gave me a foot massage in one of the classes - I would have paid $15 just for that!  My boyfriend is actually getting jealous because I talk so much about how cool this woman really is.  We’ll leave it at that. Two words from Sara: “SO GOOD”

Greg - Friday 6PM Happy Hour Yoga, Sunday 6PM Community Yoga ($5)

This guy is a paradox, and I mean that as a compliment. Green Beret Special Forces Sergeant Major in the army and probably the most gentle and sweet man you’ll ever meet.  He’s got a caring voice, an honest approach, and he ain’t bad looking…so that makes for a pleasant yoga class! I first went to his Monday 9:30 class which was slow, flowing, and easy to follow.  He’s the type of teacher that fixes your shirt before giving you an adjustment - very polite! He closes the class by saying something like “thank you for letting me serve” - and I do believe he’s one of those people that genuinely wants to be of service to others.
