Ronald is an awesome yoga instructor. His classes are well planned, and his instructions are clear and easy to follow. I particularly appreciate his explanations and emphasis on safety.
Each class offers a new challenge and satisfying work out. He has me doing things I did not think I was capable of doing...and his encouragement keeps me enthusiastically coming back for me.

Aloha Donna! Thanks for writing a review of my classes, especially noting the importance of safety. I always believe the core to a good yoga class is safety and proper alignment! You have progressed so much since the first day I saw you in class and I'm excited to see more improvements and advancements as we continue our practice each week!

I've been practicing yoga with Ronald for about a year now, and have enjoyed every class. I always walk away feeling great -- body, mind, and heart. Be open minded in taking Ronald's classes; he has a broad skill set in movement and incorporates them into his classes (so you're not just getting yoga). He also uses essential oils in his class which I love. I understand that some people have allergic reactions to certain oils, or just don't prefer them, so please let Ronald know ahead of hand. Above all I appreciate his encouragement and sincerity.
