Gretchen is a gifted teacher, with clear instruction, elegant sequencing, and great variety from class to class. What I like best, though, is the warm, inclusive community she creates every day, in every class–regardless of whether students already know each other. She’s great at getting people chatting and laughing together before and after class. And when it’s time to get down to yoga, she’s all business, completely focused. I leave class feeling centered, relaxed, and happy.
