Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and kind words...Namaste! -Deanna

Yoga & Meditation

"Totally Awesome. Deanna had a perfect combination of challenging, restorative, interesting, fun asanas, chakra work and meditation. AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC JOURNEY! I gained a new perspective on life and feel so very fortunate to have you as a guide....."

Deanna - "the only thing is that I have a problem now missing you and your brilliant and caring way of teaching... your energy is so positive and healing that I watched little miracles happen to my mind and body and I learned and grew beyond my expectations. Deanna, you taught me deep and enduring lessons that expanded both my spiritual and physical being. I just love you and am so grateful for the time I had with you and our amazing group of women. Namaste."

"Deanna Evans is that rare teacher who, while inspiring you to go a bit further than you thought you could, makes sure you do not go too far and risk injury. I came as an almost beginner to a class of many levels and always feel secure that she has her eye on me, and everyone else for that matter, correcting my positions gently so that, even with a recent knee surgery, I feel safe as well as excited to be leaning these powerful asanas.

I am very grateful to have found such a wonderful teacher."

"There are a great many yoga teachers and studios in Santa Fe, yet it took me several years of searching to finally find a yoga home in Deanna’s classes. She skillfully integrates the physical postures of yoga with its meditative and spiritual elements, making each class a truly enriching experience with many benefits that extend into my daily life."

"Deanna is a wonderful, sensitive, patient and ever so effective yoga teacher. I have taken classes from her for the past 3 years and have seen great changes in my body and understanding of muscles I never new existed. I am over  60 years old and really do appreciate Deanna's keen attention to all students, no matter what their ability or flexibility. I cherish her special way of interacting with us and can't say enough to sing her praises."

"When I developed chronic low-back pain three years ago, my doctor recommended yoga. Not only did I have the good fortune to discover a yoga class close to home, but also to find Deanna as a teacher. Deanna screens new students for health concerns and then mindfully addresses these concerns both during class and in response to our questions. Deanna is a gifted yoga instructor who creates “lesson plans” that are full of variety and lead to flexibility and strength of the whole body. Now, my back is strong and healthy and I have new flexibility and overall strength.

Deanna's carefully planned classes take even the beginner from relaxation and warm-up, all the way through to complex, flowing poses. She teaches the movements step-by-step and also anticipates how our minds and muscles might be reacting. We appreciate, too, that Deanna invites us to try the more demanding yoga poses but allows us to settle in at our level. Her classes are challenging, yet, she gets the best out of us through her encouragement, good humor, and expertise. Thanks Deanna!"

"I have regularly attended Deanna's yoga classes for 3 1/2 years. Deanna is an extraordinary instructor -- she provides clear verbal and visual direction and she sequences poses for maximum benefit (and minimum risk of injury) to particular areas of the body . The routines always flow nicely. Deanna treats everyone with the utmost respect and concern for their wellbeing and she provides alternative instruction to individuals who may have injuries or other limitations. Her classes provide a good balance of physical challenge and mental relaxation -- regardless of a students individual level of experience. I always leave class feeling much better than I did when I arrived."

"I have had the pleasure of practicing yoga with Deanna for almost a year now and I find her to be an excellent teacher. She has a deep knowledge and understanding of the yoga she teaches and imparts that wisdom to her students. Both experienced and novice practitioners of yoga benefit greatly from her classes as she is patient and helpful with everyone. I always feel as tho' I have had both a physical and mental massage after one of her classes and am ready to face life again, rejuvenated."
