"Peter's is not the first Hatha Yoga class I have taken, but it is definitely one of the more challenging. I say this in a good way, as he always assures us that yoga is not a competitive sport. Rather each participant should response to his/her own body's tolerance for a posture. Although Peter himself is very accomplished, he is not a serious (in demeanor) yogi, so there's always a degree of levity during each class. In short I feel that I get a good workout but have a lot of fun in the process!"

“I was very interested in trying YOGA but didn't know where or how to start. I'm so glad I found Peter's class. Peter is very welcoming and has a fabulous understanding of each person's needs. His instruction is very supportive. He encourages people to go at their own pace (takes the fear out of the experience) and to listening to their bodies. I have learned a lot from Peter and am comfortable in his classes. I feel so blessed to have found Peter's class that I've gotten friends to come with me.”

“Peter's Hatha class really gets the chi flowing and the core, legs and arms working! The 3 focuses of class - grounding, exhaling fully and relaxing the neck/face have helped me work deeper and relax more. Peter also has a great sense of each student's needs and is very skilled at making adjustments. His classes are very relaxing and my brain feels more organized afterwards. Peter's YinFusion class targets deep tissue, strengthens and reinforces deep breathing. I love the balancing poses! I no longer live in Madison but every chance I get to visit I will make it a point to go to Peter's yoga classes. They are judgment-free, affordable and full of learning. In a town full of great yoga classes, Peter's stands out thanks to his creativity and giving spirit.”

“I've had the opportunity to attend both Peter's Monday (Hatha) and Thursday (YinFusion) night practices and have found basic similarities between the two yet refreshing differences. For me, Monday night practices seem more physical (taking postures to the "edge" and working there for short periods of time) and interactive. The Thursday practice (unique with background music) seems more meditative and the poses less "edgy" but held longer so the body really melts deeply into the pose. For someone who is relatively inflexible and has been intimidated by the thought of attending a yoga class, I have found Peter's classes to be welcoming, informative, restorative and fun.”
