MA&Y

Yoga studio

👍👍 If you are looking for a fun and friendly yoga class, whatever your level, , get down to MA & Y. Personally, I love Gaia’s well planned sequences, as they gradually stretch you and give you lots of options and chances to progress with the poses. Everyone always leaves with a smile 😃
