    Wonderful class. We went through a series of exercises that were immensely helpful in clarifying what we wanted out of our careers and how to overcome the things holding us back. I came in feeling confused and directionless, but left feeling confident that I knew where I wanted to be and what steps I needed to take to get there.

    This was a great follow up from the Life Coaching 101 class, this time focusing on 4 factors that tend to be the causes of what blocks us from moving forward in life! Really enjoy the format of these small, intimate classes that provide an open, comfortable and positive space to chat and share. Katy always injects humor to maintain levity and the exercises ensured it was a two conversation. Would go to a 103 class if there was one!

    Katy packed a lot into this 2-hour class, walking a fine line to avoid superficial treatment of the techniques while ensuring that everyone went home with something that made a big impact for them. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and did a good job being mindful of her plan for the evening. She also clearly cared about the students' experience both during the session and subsequently out in the world. I would recommend her as a top-notch Dabble teacher :)

    Amazing opportunity to meditate and visualize with a guide, a plan, my own personal set of cheerleaders, MOTIVATORS, navigators!!! How reassuring it was and how safe it felt to go on such a personal mini-journey and dig up and make sense of some not necessarily safe or comfortable emotions and feelings. Going through the exercises in a small group with that support left me feeling so energized and inspired and yet at the same time I am more calm and more clear, with renewed focus. I feel a stillness and peacefulness and I am more self assured than before. I have a strategy, an action plan, and I feel equipped to take any action I need to take to make things happen so that I get to where I want to be and I create what I want to create with my life. LIFE-CHANGER! I LOVED IT.

    My partner and I had a great time at the Yoga & Bodywork class. I learned some fantastic new partner stretches that I've been incorporating into workouts with my own personal training clients! Andrea is everything a yoga instructor should be - open, positive, caring, tuned in. She watched our communication with our partners throughout the class and gave great modifications if certain stretches or poses weren't working for individual bodies. Great experience. I look forward to taking other classes with Mindful-U!

    This is a wonderful class for both yoga vets and newcomers. My wife and I got to learn new poses we can do together to stretch, build strength, and rely (lean) on each other for balance. The class is light-hearted, fun, and will bring you together with your partner. The space is small which means more interaction with the instructor. I recommend.

    This class was very informative, and I liked the mix of education and demonstration. I walked away feeling more aware of my body and how it works (and why it sometimes doesn't work), and I now know a lot more about how to treat it. I'd definitely recommend this class to those who experience any type of back pain, be it chronic or otherwise.

    I am a beginner to yoga and meditation. I enjoyed this class as I learned more about each chakra, poses that can help open each one, and areas I may need to work on and why. This class has motivated me to become more educated on chakras, work on my own, and practice these poses as well as techniques in my daily life. Keep an open mind that solutions will not be given to you in this class for the life coaching portion, but instead, you will need to look from within and make these connections in your life for yourself. You will definitely get something out of this class. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed when all is said and done.
