"Sedona has a special way of making you feel right at home in her classes and in her presence in general. She has a grounded, down to earth, welcoming energy that instantly helps you feel safe. Her classes are well-informed and fun, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and empowered. Sedona is the bee's knees!! I highly recommend."

“Sedona’s class offerings always feel welcoming and safe, no matter where I am at or what I am currently experiencing. After each practice, I always find myself more centered, grounded, and more able to accept my emotions and self exactly as I am in that moment. Sedona does amazing work in making her classes accessible for all bodies. As an example, when I was pregnant I had many experiences throughout the KC area in regular yoga classes that left me feeling worse than had I not gone. Sedona took special care to provide suggestions for modifications and let me know what to expect during class. Because of that special care, I was able to reunite a bit with my yoga practice and eventually bring it back to the forefront of my life journey. I can’t sing enough praise for Sedona and the yoga practices she curates through the space she holds, music she chooses, and energy she maintains. A true treasure for the KC yoga community.”

"Sedona is the BEST. She makes yoga so FUN and accessible, and she has this natural ability to make everyone feel at ease from your first step in the studio. Her classes are challenging but not intimidating, and her playlists are on POINT! She also has a huge heart and is dedicated to making yoga and art affordable and non-intimidating to even the biggest introvert (like me!). Take her class - you will wonder where she's been your entire life."

“Sedona's thoughtful, dynamic, and non-judgmental yoga classes encourage participants of all levels to grow and learn. Sedona's classes are a refreshing antidote to our always-on culture, inviting us to slow down, look within, face challenges head-on, tune in to the body, and try new experiences. I did not have a consistent yoga practice when I first tried Sedona's classes in Kansas City, but I instantly felt welcome even as a relative beginner. Now, I've been practicing multiple times a week and I find that Sedona's yoga classes dissolve typical yoga boundaries -- rather than fast or slow, hard or easy, vinyasa or yin...classes blend and integrate all of these categories seamlessly. Sedona's approach reminds me to practice resilience, compassion, and commitment with new yoga shapes so I can get better at doing that in other parts of my life. Anyone who has been skeptical of yoga classes in the past (that was definitely me) should try Sedona's class at least once!”

"Sedona is a very attentive yoga teacher - she has her eye on everyone and their needs during class. You are truly amazing, Sedona!"
— Tina
“The first time I attended one of your yoga classes I was blown away by the descriptive cues you made during poses. The way you gave little hints and tips throughout the class helped me experience poses I’d been doing for 10 years in a new way!”

“Be a scientist in your own body. Sedona told me that years ago now and it's been resonating in my head ever since.
To have a conversation, you have to listen, understand, and respond. Ideally, you want to love with whom you're conversing, but at a minimum, you have to acknowledge and respect them. Yoga teaches you how to have a conversation with your body. You learn how to ask your body to do things, and you learn how to listen to your body when it talks. You learn how to love yourself.
Sedona taught me to really listen to myself, to breathe, and to accept where I am. They taught me to find my edge. Few teachers have inspired me as much as Sedona; someday I hope to be as talented of a teacher as they are. They are a great teacher and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
— Isaac
"Sedona is a living testament to her passion for yoga + art + healing+ nature. She lives it, loves it, breathes it & shares it with others generously. I encourage you to dive into discovering and uncovering hidden pieces of yourself by attending her creative classes as often as possible! Do it and see what amazing transformations begin in YOU!!!"
— Lisa
“Seven years ago, I took my first yin yoga class with Sedona. I was struck by how warm and welcoming she was, and was also impressed by the calm, safe space she was able to cultivate. Having since taken many yoga classes (both vinyasa and yin) over the years with Sedona, her creativity in sequencing and building a class continues to withstand and is truly impressive. Sedona is so genuinely authentic and comfortable in her own skin; this quality has always made me admire her and feel comfortable being my full self around her.
I've practiced yoga in cities all over the country, from LA to NYC, and Sedona stands out as one of the best teachers I have ever practiced with. Sedona's yin yoga classes had such a profound effect on my life that I was inspired to become a yoga teacher myself. To this day, I believe there is no yin like Sedona yin. I have immense gratitude for Sedona Alvarez!”
