River Rock Yoga is an amazing resource for Yogis, with a wonderful group of instructors. I feel so fortunate to have Moira and her studio in my little town! They have a nice selection of classes for all levels and every teacher I’ve had is very skilled at adapting to the individuals in their class. The Yoga Basics course is perfect for beginners. The Pilates classes are a great option for strengthening my core. I highly recommend River Rock Yoga and Pilates.
