I definitely enjoyed the experience! It's a type of yoga class where you get a workout and learn simultaneously. The opening incantation felt authentic, as I am looking for a more authentic yoga experience. I realized after the class that I've never been in an all-female yoga class focused on women before. It really does give a different vibe afterward, so I also loved that. I was very sore for the next few days lol. I think Iyenger is good for me because I get scared of inversions, and the technique can slowly help me perfect my postures. So I will definitely be back after the summer when the studio re-opens. Thank you so much for my complimentary intro class!

Phenomenal intimate studio. Incredible teacher. Ignite session was informative, therapeutic, challenging and restorative all at once!

I'm beginning my third year of study with Pauline, chiefly attending the Saturday morning Ignite 50+ class due to both my age and my too long history of orthopedic injuries.  I started taking vinyasa flow and kundalini yoga classes over 20 years ago.  Pauline's classes are completely different and perfect for me.  She is scrupulous at watching her students to ensure that poses are being done properly to avoid injury, and she somehow manages to recall the frailties of each student's body to provide them with appropriate modifications and/or props when needed.  I truly appreciate her diligence and good humor, and I leave each class walking taller and feeling strong!

Was my first lesson, Pauline was very good showing the positions herself and correcting all the way to ensure the best results
Recommended…will be back

Prenatal yoga is fantastic! Pauline is very attentive and intentional with her movements. At the start of each class we go around in a circle and say our symptoms - she uses the practice to relieve each persons pain points while still maintaining a full body stretch for the class. I leave each class feeling stronger and free of tension in my muscles. Highly recommend.

Pauline is an excellent teacher! I love how I feel after class. I was introduced to Alcove Yoga when I was pregnant with my second child. I did prenatal classes throughout my pregnancy and experienced a major difference in how I felt and carried the pregnancy. With my first child, I struggled with back pain. My second pregnancy went a lot smoother and my back pain was no more! My labor went shockingly smooth and I felt strong before and after. I am now doing her women’s classes and have been loving the increased energy, improved sleep, and strength I have been gaining so far. Highly recommend!

Real Yoga

Pauline is an excellent teacher.  This form of Yoga is MUCH better than the 'flow' yoga because you actually HOLD poses and build strength along with getting in excellent stretches.  The classes are small so she is able to individualize instruction so everyone gets the maximum benefit.  Highly recommend!

Pauline is by far the most knowledgeable yoga instructor I've ever had the fortune to be instructed by.
This is the yoga pedagogy I've been searching for!  
Than you to y friend for introducing me to Iyengar yoga and in particular to Alcove Yoga.
I feel a sense of calm every time I finish an Alcove Yoga session.

This has been my first experience with Iyengar yoga.  I waited until after my 2nd class to write this review to make sure I liked it. :). Pauline is an amazing instructor and I really enjoy her energy, instruction and support.  I am finding Iyengar to be the style of asana that works best for me in really honing in on body alignment, focus and the experience of really connecting to my body in a way that keeps me out of my head as I have experienced in other forms of asana practices. I'm honored to be led by such a wonderful teacher!
