“I wanted to get started into my yoga practice by taking some 1 on 1 sessions to get the basics down before going to classes. So happy I went with APY and Tiffany is amazing! She's so knowledgeable and helpful in every facet and it was the perfect way for me to get my foot into yoga. Highly recommend going to APY for any private sessions, whether 1 on 1 or groups!”

“Anne Marie does go slower than other instructors but I love it! She’s great at explaining proper alignment and holding the poses longer makes it more challenging. She might be my favorite instructor so far.”

“Good class. Lots of room to spread out. Kudos for playing Persian music on Persian New Years today!”
“This was one of my favorite classes I’ve taken at Black Swan. Sometimes, these classes feel less like yoga and more like a slower version of a Orange Theory class and the poses are rarely have any diversity to them (boat, chair and side plank over and over again), but Anne integrated many more! It was still a very challenging and sweaty class, but I actually felt like I was going with my breath in an actual yoga class! I’ll be attending Anne’s classes from now on when I go to Black Swan.”

“Anne Marie taught in a way that wasn't distracting, including music that was in the background-- I find other Black Swan classes' music loud and too much part of the class and distracting from the practice. she had simple ( but not boring!) flows where you hold the poses longer, and didn't overly repeat flows.”

“Words cannot describe the transformation in my yoga practice since I started training with Anne Marie. Though I had been to some public classes and experimented at home, I felt like I never truly did yoga until Anne Marie guided me into the poses, prioritizing alignment and catering to my needs.
