  Review of Kelly Pretlow, January 18, 2009

  Kelly is a fantastic teacher whose breadth of knowledge makes her great for beginners or those experienced with the practice. She creates an open and supportive environment in the studio, encouraging students to ask questions. She is great is meeting students where they are, whether that involves the use of props to ease into poses or explaining the philosophy behind the physical movement.

  The studio is warm and light - a lovely retreat in which to practice and learn. Kelly nurtures an open and engaging community. Other students are welcoming, and classes develop a nice camaraderie. I highly recommend Kelly and Maple Leaf Community Yoga - my 1+ year of practice there has subtly transformed my life.

  Kelly is very knowledgable, has a super friendly/positive personality, and is extremely genuine. Her classes are fun and she's great at adapting to her students' needs. I've been studying a short time, but I feel I've learned a ton!

  Can not imagine a more complete yoga experience. All my classes have been informative, fun and physical - the time flys! Class size is small and comfortable yet full of energy, I am hooked. Thanks Kelly

  Review of Kelly Pretlow, January 16, 2009

  I wrote to a friend recently and mentioned how I feel different since
  I've been taking yoga from Kelly. I'm finally looking at my health
  in a holistic way, and I'm better about listening to my body, attentively
  and respectfully. I've taken poses and sequences she's taught and used them at home, which is very rare for me, despite my good intentions.

  She strikes a good balance between encouraging students to explore a bit beyond our self-imposed boundaries of "can't," and staying safe within the pose, staying out of pain, offering modifications, etc. I can only speak for myself, but I know she can teach skillfully to a variety of experience and ability levels. And she's quick with a laugh and makes her students smile.

  I always leave class feeling more radiant and peaceful. I truly feel cared for in Kelly's yoga class.

  I can't speak highly enough about Kelly's teaching. She begins each class with a genuine check in to see how each person is feeling, what they think they need, and what their bodies' particular needs are that day. Classes are tailored accordingly. Safety and correct alignment and technique are paramount throughout the classes, and if you ever wondered "why" about any yogic practices, Kelly will have a deep answer. She offers readings from the Yoga Sutras and other texts, presents accessible meditation techniques, and leads discussions about yogic philosophy (not just asana) and what it means in our modern lives. This is not your every-day yoga class. Classes with Kelly involve the study of yoga in all aspects of our lives. Come prepared to be welcomed and transformed.
