Every month, I send out a newsletter with thoughts and reflections on what I’ve been contemplating recently, as well as updates on my teaching schedule.

“Renata has a soft yet firm way of teaching, and a way of guiding through the class where everything interconnects perfectly.

— Aleksandra

“I greatly appreciate Renata's gentle style of yoga. It is invariably thought-provoking. Renata helps us make subtle changes to our posture and how we can better use our muscles.

— Chris

“Renata is an extremely welcoming and knowledgeable yoga teacher. Each class is thoroughly planned out and Renata puts great effort into ensuring that both the physical and psychological aspects of the practice are incorporated into each session.”

— Adam
