"Varenka is my introduction to yoga. From day one I loved being in Varenka’s presence. She understands yoga as a way of being and is able to share that wisdom through her teaching. She is calm, warm, respectful, and very accommodating to everyone’s personal abilities. I have enjoyed in-person group classes, private sessions, and private Zoom sessions and have learned so much about being present in the moment. Time on my yoga mat has become my daily morning routine that helps me reflect on my intention for the day. Yoga has also played an enormous role in my ability to address ongoing back and neck issues. Varenka is not the only yoga teacher I have had, but the only yoga teacher I always will return to. Thank you Varenka for guiding me to the practice of yoga."
