WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Heart & Grit Yoga is so much more than just a place to do yoga. Gina really makes sure that her teachers know how to connect yoga with functional movement, which was a huge bonus I didn’t expect. I’ve been doing yoga on and off since 2005, but I was mainly just copying what the teacher was doing without really understanding how to use my muscles or protect my joints properly.
Gina has this amazing way of guiding you through poses so that you can get into them safely and effectively. I used to struggle with side plank and would hold my breath, just hoping I wouldn’t tip over. Once Gina showed me how to prep my body properly, I felt way more stable and could hold the pose much longer.
The studio is super welcoming and has become a great place for me to grow my practice and clear my mind. I also jumped into the Summer of Yoga program, which was a great decision. The accountability helped me keep up with my practice even when things got hectic. Plus, Gina’s one-on-one sessions were perfect for fine-tuning my poses and strengthening my weaker spots.
Overall, Heart & Grit Yoga has been a game changer for me, blending yoga with real-life movement and creating a supportive community. I'm so grateful I found the studio!"

"Heart and grit yoga studio is the studio I have been looking for in this area! There are a variety of classes and teachers, each offering something different. Gina takes the traditional yoga poses and adapts them to make them functional for your everyday movement. Renita likes to take the spice level up and allows for opportunity to play with new poses. The best part of the studio is the people - everyone is very friendly and the common goal is to have fun at yoga!'

I was thrilled to be a part of Heart & Grit's one year celebration practice yesterday! Over this past year Gina and her team of instructors have fostered a culture filled with encouragement and motivation for every person in every class, regardless of experience level. With specific coaching on body positioning, I have been able to improve my practice incrementally over the year. These small changes have enabled me to move my body in ways I never imagined possible, building strength and mobility along the way!
The community within Heart & Grit is friendly and inspiring. Each person is building upon their own practice at their own pace. During that process, you will often hear classmate's voices of reassurance when trying a new or challenging pose. It is a fun environment where I feel confident and free to challenge myself in a safe and supportive surrounding.
A year ago I came to Heart & Grit stiff and injured. A year later I feel amazingly stronger and much more mobile. I am grateful Heart & Grit Yoga has come into our community."

"Today I finished my 4th class with Gina. A few things I love so far:
Gina let me know I need the right mat, here I was slipping and sliding and thinking my old mat was great. I purchased a B-mat and wow! totally a difference. Gina explains everything we do, she also tells you why we do it. I love her final words at the end of class. If you are reading this and scared don't be, I'm a bigger gal, and it's been while since I've been on the mat. I do what I can and really try to stay in the moment when I am there. Thank you Gina, I look forward to my next classes!"
