Testimonials

  • Lucid Dawn is a gift to the world! Her yoga classes are the perfect balance of challenge to your edges, listening to your body, and being attuned to energy and presence. Expect to laugh, maybe you'll even cry. Yoga teachers like this don't come along every day. I am forever grateful.

  • Lucid is a bright and powerful light in this world. I am so grateful to have her as my teacher. She continues to study and work the practice in very practical ways. She helps break me out of my comfort zone while holding a safe container. Her classes and workshops are well worth every dollar and more if you like sincerity and sometimes goofiness and laughter.

  • I’ve attended Lucid's classes over the last 20 years-and watched her practice become more refined, skilled, and beautiful. I feel held in her presence, both in my heart and in my body. She knows how to address both the physiological and deeper layers of the psycho-emotional. Her attunement is exquisite. The loving compassion deep. You will leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and satisfied. Do yourself a favor and offer your body care under her loving attention.

  • Lucid is incredible. She is intuitive. She is kind. She is a miracle worker. The moment you enter her stratosphere, you know you're in a special place, and if you have the chance to practice or be healed by her, TAKE IT!

  • Lucid Dawn is a vibrant, positive force in this world. If you are fortunate enough to have her lead you, you’ll walk out of class with that force also shining out of you. Practice together will have a few laughs, and then all of a sudden you're prepped and executing poses that make your body longer, leaner, stronger, and more balanced, and it just seems natural. She makes it fun and, of course, is supremely versed in yoga, anatomy, and a positive mindset.

  • Lucid Dawn is one of the best yoga teachers I've encountered— she combines thoughtful, reflective, positive spirituality with a great workout. Muscles you didn't know you had will be sore the next day (in a good way!) Also appreciated is her gentle instruction throughout the class, making sure you adjust body positions in ways that avoid injury. I’ve practiced with her for over ten years, and I am so grateful.

  • She is a very gifted teacher. Her classes integrate the more subtle aspects of yoga (breath, mantra, meditation, and intention) w/a strong physical practice. It's a beautiful blend of the ways practicing yoga creates magic in the bodymind. Each class is different, but always cleansing without being depleting. Lucid has a strong, connected personal practice that radiates from her. I'm so happy to have found her!

  • Today at 10:30 I took Lucid Dawn's alignment flow class. It was superb. Her teaching, mantras, and knowledge of yoga are exquisite. I've been practicing since 1997, so I have some experience;) One of the other great things about it was the student body itself. Everyone there seemed lit- in a great way! Shining, deep, and wonderful people. I have great respect for Lucid Dawn and this class.

  • I love Lucid Dawn's class! She's AMAZING. She does a nice combination of holding poses, flow, and is creative. She also adds a nice element of noticing your thoughts and meditation.
