"I've always found yoga to be intimidating but once I tried Reika's class the rest was history. Her classes are catered to individuals needs and capabilities; her style of teaching is nurturing and engaging."

-Michelle, student

"Reika's instructional style works so well for me. In the past, I've felt alienated and discouraged from practicing yoga. I really appreciate how Reika is intentionally inclusive and consistently reminds us that yoga is not about looking a certain way or performing a rigid set of moves, but that everyone has their own unique set of limitations, challenges, and strengths. "

-Chad, student

"Reika is very mindful of people's anatomy. She encourages her students to find their own alignment and emphasizes the differences in everyone's bodies! She also has a calming energy that leaves you lighter and more balanced. "

"Reika is the yoga teacher that made me fall in love with the practice. Many yoga teachers I've encountered seem to go through the motions of the flow, and just focus on the workout side of yoga. Not Reika. She is intentional about every class format, with subtle corrections that you really feel, and teaching the Sanskrit names for poses to really honor the roots of yoga. She taught me how to honor my body even when what I can do varies by day, but also challenges me to play around with something new each class. Now yoga is a part of my weekly routine that I crave all thanks to Reika. You're missing out if you haven't taken her class. "

"Reika is genuine in her intention when leading you through yoga. She had a big part in the start of my yoga journey and continues to be! She challenges me physically yet mindfully. She’s so supportive and patient when encouraging you to try poses that might be intimidating to you. She’s the type of person that knows how to bring what she’s learned -not only as a yogi, but as a person who comes from different cultural backgrounds and who’s avidly traveled- to the mat where you can benefit from it too. I am grateful to be able to share this practice with her!"

"I consider myself lucky to have happened upon Reika. Her classes are thoughtfully based on the essence of yoga principles encouraging the student to connect internally and not be distracted externally with meandering sequences and dialogue. Her cues are a perfect example of saying more with less and at the perfect pace with perfect timing. Most of all, the inspired passion of her beautiful soul is ever-present. She is a student of the eight limbs and more than asana alone, she is the real deal. "
