Preparing for a Workshop at Nydia’s Yoga Therapy Studio.
 
Hi there, its Nydia.  I am so happy that you have chosen to spend time with us for the Introduction to Gentle Therapeutic Yoga with Dr. Nydia Tijerina Darby. If you have never attended a class or event at the Serenidad Studio, you are in for a treat!  The Serenidad Studio is located on Nydia’s residential property very appropriately referred to as the “Hacienda Darby.” 
 
The address of the Serenidad Studio at the Hacienda Darby is:  1403 Blue Crest Lane, San Antonio, TX 78232.  Please remember that the studio is located in a residential area.  Locate us using your GPS.  Look for the off-white stucco fence, the Turn right directly upon entering the property to park your car on the large rock driveway directly in front of the house.  Please be mindful to park effectively so that to allow each of our participants room. Parking outside on the street in the neighborhood is discouraged as I want to be the best neighbor possible. There is more than enough space for each vehicle.  The studio entrance door is located along the left side of the home where you see 2 windows, just walk along the concrete driveway and towards the garage doors.  It is likely that you will meet other participants/attendees and our staff who will also greet you and help you find the correct entrance. 
 
How to prepare for the workshop/event.
