From Deb's Students:
 
"Excellent class! Deb hits all levels - from the pace of learning each pose to the detailed explanations about the history of yoga and the purpose of the poses, I highly recommend this class as an introduction to yoga! I love that the class includes information about meditation and how to incorporate meditation into your practice. 5 stars all around!"

- Roberta

   
The inviting space of the Samsara House and the warm, personal one-on -one instruction of Deb Koolbeck made my introduction to yoga, easy, comfortable and enjoyable. It was just what I needed. Deb provided us with real concrete understanding of the practice, in simple and non-judgmental ways, that allowed me to take my practice to the next level with confidence. 
- Basem
 
As a true yoga beginner, I really did not know what to expect. I am so glad I took Deb's beginners yoga class. Deb is patient and kind. She demonstrates each position and patiently assists me to obtain the pose. She has a great sense of humor and makes the class fun. 
- Barbara

Deb is a great yoga teacher because she offers personalized attention to each of her students. Her love for teaching yoga shines through every single class. Her willingness to continue to learn is encouraging and reassuring for newer students who may not be as comfortable with the practice of yoga. I will continue to take her classes as long as she is teaching!
- Aubrey

Deb's teaching style is awesome. Her classes are very laid back, but I definitely still feel like I get a work out! She's also great about showing you how to modify the moves if, like me, you're just not that flexible. Her motto is "no pain, no strain," and I love that. Her class was my first venture into the world of yoga and I would highly recommend her for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
