I highly recommend Kent to any aspiring yoga practitioner, whether just starting out or experienced and wanting to enhance or deepen your practice. Not only do I get a good stretch and workout, my subtle energy body gets a boost and I feel spiritual attuned to my body. If you don't know what that means or that sounds crazy, take Kent's classes! You'll know what I mean.

The Vibe: Move Me. I came to Groove Yoga to move…read more Leanne welcomed me in, gave me a tour, and chatted before class. Then I learned Rejuvenating Groove was closer to yin. The Guide: Leanne Schweitzer * Rejuvenating Groove I asked Leanne how she found yoga. She was looking for relief from work. One class, and she was hooked. Then a 30-day challenge. She won it. The prize: more yoga. Eleven years later, it's still her work. ‍ The Soft Side: We began on our backs with bolsters. Leanne's voice was slow, deliberate, guiding our attention from our feet up. Body. Mind. Spirit. With our hands over our hearts, she shared an idea from The Heart Code: the heart is more than a pump. Emotionally. Spiritually. Then Deer Pose. A supine twist with straps. Long holds. Less doing. More noticing. Finally, Savasana. The Space & Place: Groove catches the light. Shelves hold books and small objects; a Ganesha figure sits among them. A community board covers a wall. Beyond it: a spacious practice room. Dark floors. High ceiling. The Sum-Up: On my way out, I thanked Leanne. I'd come to move. I hardly did. I left moved. Field Note: Sometimes you receive what you need by letting go of what you came for.

Where do I start? I love this studio! I had been searching for that special studio that felt like…read morehome for quite some time when I walked into Still Water Yoga & Wellness Studio for the first time. I can absolutely say, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I found it here, I feel SO at home here at Still Water! Shannon, the owner, is one of the best instructors I have ever taken a class with, and the amazing part is, that ALL of her instructors are amazing! Since she is a certified teacher trainer and certifies a lot of her teachers herself, there is an incredible amount of consistency at Still Water, no matter whose class you are taking that day. The dictation is so clear, and we are always given three levels to stop at, so we can practice at our own level, push ourselves if we want to, take it easy if that's what our body or soul needs that day, and there is never any judgement or criticism, only encouragement, positive vibes, and genuine love for every single person in the room, breathing together as one. I just got back from a retreat in Greece too, which Shannon herself ran from start to finish. It was AMAZING, I don't even know how to describe the high I'm on right now! We just got home (hubby and I went together), and I want to go back already, lol. Seriously though, the friendships and memories we made will last a lifetime, and I will never forget the moments we had laughing, crying (good tears), and practicing yoga in one of the most beautiful settings I've ever seen together. If you're looking for something more than just a place to take a yoga class here and there, give Still Water a shot. This is not just any yoga studio, it's a yoga FAMILY, and you will be welcomed with open arms the moment you walk through the door, even if it's your very first time. We are lifer's, and we can't wait for the next retreat. Thank you for the wonderful community you've built, Shannon, we are forever changed for the better!

An absolute gem of a yoga studio in South Lake Tahoe! After doing a lot of research on local yoga…read morestudios in the area for myself, as well as the fitness & wellness retreat my husband and I run at Lake Tahoe, I was really impressed by this studio and the instructors' bios on their website. Shannon's bio in particular struck me, as I am a big fan of some of the yogis she has trained under and trained with. I reached out to her via email and got a quick response back. Right off the bat, she was very gracious and welcoming. A week or two later, my husband and I brought a small group (6 of us total) to practice yoga with Shannon at her Weekend Warrior class on a recent Sunday, and we all had a wonderful, blissful experience! Shannon is just as lovely and welcoming in person as she was through our correspondences via email. The Sunday class we took was the perfect blend of a challenging, invigorating, centering, calming, and inspiring Vinyasa class that I was looking for. Even the Savasana at the end of class was wonderful with all the extra attention to detail, head/shoulder mini massage, and the darkening of the room to create an extra tranquil, meditative environment for us. Thank you so much, Shannon and Still Water Yoga! We will be back soon to your beautiful studio, and definitely bring our next group over to share in this awesome experience!

What I did not realise was that this would prove to be the most amazing experience in my life. Apart from being a wonderful, patient and extremely knowledgeable teacher, Jeannie Laslo, through her teachings, managed to transform my life. Before the course, I was always stressed out and anxious about my career and finances; I had simply lost direction. Just half way through the course, my outlook on life greatly improved. I no longer feel stressed and I am about to embark on my craziest adventure yet: law school. But above all, this course allowed me to assess myself and life and taught me that there is no potential; there are simply limitless possibilities and I am empowered to do anything I imagine. For this reason, I would whole-heartedly recommend doing the Yoga Teacher Training course at Yoga Indigo because, apart from learning how to teach Hatha Yoga to others, you will also rediscover yourself.
