I have known Jenny for almost 20 years In various capacities and I'm honored to call her my friend. I now call her my teacher. Today I do beginner yoga. I'll let you know how that goes. I've already done restorative yoga and stretching. I feel like Gumby already. I walked in on an aerial class and I cannot wait to jump up into the silk and fly away. Well hopefully I don't fly too far. I love these classes and plan to be there as many days as I can. I hope to see you all there. Namaste, Arc

I took Lindsay D's class and absolutely loved it! It was my first true Pilates class and the…read moreinstructor was great - she even gave me a walk through before the class started. She was very motivational and also helped us adjust our resistance throughout the class. What I enjoyed about her the most is that she made everyone feel special. There was a mix of beginners and veterans of Pilates in our class and she made sure everyone felt comfortable with every movement - and helping when needed. Most of my workouts are high intensity so the change of pace was great for me! But don't get me wrong - the class was a workout! I felt stronger than ever - working in slow movements and challenging myself with each stretch. Additionally Lindsay's playlist was on point. We were able to relax and make this workout our OWN and focus on OUR strength. In addition, the studio was very charming. It's got boutique vibes, but includes all the necessities like bathrooms, showers, a changing room and some swag to purchase. Overall I was very impressed with this studio and the instructor. I felt empowered and refreshed after my workout and I can't wait to schedule another class!

I cannot speak enough praise for how much I love the peaceful dragon and the family that has come…read morewith it, for how much it has changed my life overall. I have severe anxiety to name just a few of my struggles and yet the people here have managed the challenging feat of balancing: (1) Pushing and encouraging a person to move forward just as far as you don't think you can go, without pushing you to your breaking point, (2) all while supporting and encouraging you along the way in a compassionate way; until little by little you are doing things you never thought you could do. The peaceful dragon has always pushed me past my comfort zones, and has never let me get away with living my life saying "No, I can't do that." And more than anything they've never given up on me or let me give up on myself. Every year I grow a little more and walk out with a more enhanced perspective on life. I genuinely don't think I'd be where I am today without their gentle guidance and encouragement and that is worth the tuition it costs to attend a school that will build you up into a person you and others around you can be proud of. This year, is my second year and I am in awe beyond words for how many who have come before me to whom I aspire to, people who have been here 20, 14, 10 even 7 and 5 years. Some began as adults some grew up practicing here from the time they were children now headed to college. It has to be so amazing to be able to watch your students grow and transform. I can't help but look up to all of these people who have loved, supported and adopted me and others like me as family in the 2 years that I've been here and that was without me having any history in martial arts under my belt. I hear some people gawk at the price. I make less than 9k/year and yet I still have found ways to attend. I know some people who have given up (literally) everything just to come here with no regrets. And so I've always believed that people find ways to afford things that matter to them, if something matters to you enough you'll find a way to make it happen. To that end it's not about the money. It's about keeping a tradition and a school alive. Money is a tool needed to grow and maintain the school whose rent we all share. If you walk into the school you'll see pictures of the peaceful dragon being built; and if you listen to the teachers who have been there for 14 or more years you'll hear them talk about when they were all out practicing together in parks. You can't know what it's like to have a roof over your head to practice until you've had to practice without one. How many people can say they started out learning in a park only to see those funds reinvested to build a bigger and better building made just for them and future students like them to practice in. How many schools can say that their students grow on to become teachers with them or others if they so choose to walk that path? How many people can go to a school where the students grow to become teachers, and where each member is not just a 'member' but a part of a family? And how many schools have teachers where teachers, students and their families are recognized and honoured for all that they do to keep the spirit of the martial arts tradition and school alive? That is genuinely a combination of good leadership and community. For *me* to be able to practice in a school like this one among family like this one is a privilege and a honour. To be among people who have been training here since before there was a building to practice is equally a privilege. I love my school, and I know that not only am I lucky to attend a school that offers all that it does but that my continued success as a student is dependent on the success of my school. If you decide to be a student and are locked in on "why can't I have dirt cheap prices", I do hope that you're able to grow from a "me-first gimme gimme what can I get at bargain prices" mindset to a how can we help each other, how can I help my family succeed mindset, because the two are interdependent. I went in with a me-first mindset and I've come out with a sense of connection and otherness that I wouldn't have otherwise had without this school. I could go on but I'll stop and hope that that leaves anyone who might read that with enough food for though.

I have been attending The Peaceful Dragon for almost two years now as a "yoga-only" student. It has…read morebeen my saving grace and I absolutely love it! My original purpose for signing up was stress management, but two side benefits were increased strength and weight loss. Another "yelper" complained that it was only for experts, which I completely disagree with. It is true that they don't have separate classes based on skill level. However, the instructors provide various modifications to accommodate all skill levels. It is up to you to do what is right for your body based on how you feel that day and your skill level. The poses are not the objective. The whole point of the class is to focus internally on yourself and your breathing. It shouldn't matter what the person next to you is doing. Everyone has to start somewhere, but in time you will improve. I have grown tremendously in my practice and can do poses that I could only dream of doing when I first started out. And yet there are still many things that I am still trying to achieve that others can do with ease. This is why it is called a practice. It is the journey and not the destination. Many of the instructors remind us that "yoga is a spiritual practice disguised as a physical practice" and "going though the motions without breathing deeply isn't yoga." One of the other things that I love about these classes is they are challenging. I feel many times better after going to class versus doing a YouTube yoga video at home. I love the Peaceful Dragon yoga classes and couldn't imagine taking yoga anywhere else!
