Heidi of YogaXoga
I met Heidi Valenzuela several years ago at ZMC--she came in and taught yoga there twice/week. It was awesome! Her yoga style is practical and easy--great for any level. I found her style to be particularly great for relieving stress and keeping my body toned and limber. Check out her website--www.yogaxoga.com--she teaches classes in the area, and can also come to your work or group location and teach there. And, she has DVD's!
