“Galen is an exceptional yoga instructor, and human. I have been particularly impressed with the attention she pays to making yoga accessible for everyone. Her classes include options for poses, and an attention to language that makes everyone feel included. Her dedication to all students is clear. Beyond this, Galen is always interested in learning about her yoga students outside of their practice. She is friendly, focused, compassionate, and determined to make the yoga world a more inclusive place.”

“Galen creates a safe space in her yoga classes for you to explore compassion, kindness and gratitude for yourself and others. In her practice, Galen offers the opportunity to expand yourself physically and emotionally in relatable ways with a down-to-earth attitude and plenty of posture modifications. She always has a genuine smile and a killer playlist queued up for class too! I feel really lucky to have been able to attend her classes these last five years.”

“I learned yoga from Galen […] and wow, what a way to start my yoga practice. Galen has a special place in my heart. Her classes helped me grow in such a profound way. I had just graduated from college and was completely lost, with no idea of what my future looked like. After a summer of classes with Galen, not only was I in amazing shape, I also felt ready to embrace the uncertainty in my life, off the mat. Galen helped me find a newfound trust in myself that I had no idea was possible to develop through yoga. By the end of that summer I felt grounded, blissful, and inspired.
Galen has such a sensitivity in the way she teaches. Always reminding you, by example, to breathe. Everything feels good in her class. She guides you to the perfect extension of your body, while encouraging modifications and giving you permission to take your foot off the gas when needed. She seems to have a deep knowledge of the human body, and pays close attention to form so you’re never in pain. I feel totally safe to explore in her classes. Galen has a fierce maternal energy, while also making space for humor. She is one of my all-time favorite teachers, and I love getting to play with her.”

“I have taken 20+ classes from Galen over the past few years. You will not find a better combination of meticulously planned sequencing that also creates ample and authentic space for students to practice at their own speed and ability.”

“The first time I took a power vinyasa class was with Galen in [a] hot [studio]. She had me absolutely hooked on this style! It was 4 years ago and I still remember how clear her instruction was, challenging but also completely accessible. As a person, Galen is brave, smart and super organized - I couldn't say enough about what she does! She goes the extra mile to raise money for different organizations as well as bringing yoga to individuals who typically wouldn't feel comfortable taking public classes. She's amazing and I highly recommend!!”
