We were both pleasantly surprised how both our levels could be accommodated in the same class, and how comfortable Greg made us feel. Ive been practicing Yoga on and off for over 10 years and felt challenged and completely energized after our session- nothing like taking in some fresh air! Plus it was centered around our schedule, which isn't always easy to do!

First of all, Greg is very knowledgeable about yoga and made me feel very comfortable during the entire session. I've done yoga for over 5 years now and this was one of my favorite sessions. Greg is a wonderful teacher. He is insightful and compassionate. Plus, his teaching style is applicable to all levels in a class. He is constantly explaining what each position is, how it benefits the body, and how it can be made more challenging. In addition, I really appreciate the fact that Greg is also a chiropractor because it helps me feel more at ease that he is truly aware of the positions and how it benefits the body. I highly recommend Greg!

I have gone to several of the yoga events held by downward drinking dog and I have enjoyed each of them immensely. Pat and Lori, the two "cofounders" of the group are awesome, and perhaps that is why these events draw such a cool crowd as well. Also, there's beer and yoga, so if you like both of those, you're pretty good in my book. So far I've been to events at Strike Brewery and Hapas Brewery (a new brewery in San Jose - such a cool venue), but they are branching out to other locations and even a distillery in Santa Cruz in a few weeks! Totally a fun event for a weekend afternoon. The yoga is great for all levels, and it's a great way to try out some locations you might not otherwise know about. Totally try it!
