"If you're new to yoga and researching where to start, this is the place....As a yogi who travels, I've had the opportunity to visit many studios. As a yoga instructor and studio owner, I can evaluate, contrast and compare. I'm glad I chose Powerglow, an upscale, professional studio. They keep their beautiful place very clean. The instruction was top-notch and covered more than the basic 'Hatha asanas'. They have a level of community, warmth, caring and friendliness that cannot be be easily created or found elsewhere."
