"In 13 years of yoga practice I have never felt so at home as I do in Hannah’s classes. Her ability to empower, calm, soothe, and educate are a balance like none other I have experienced. She uses the power of her words to help her students remember the sweetness inside ourselves, the wholeness of our hearts and the power of community. The outpouring of love and joy from her soul are infectious and delicious. She is love, she gives love and she encourages love. Her rich and vast knowledge of Asana, Prananyama, Myth, Song, History and Therapeutic Anatomical Alignment make her all the more powerful an instructor. I am eternally grateful for all I have learned from sweet sweet Hannah. Hannah's training has helped me manage depression and self doubt, heal physical pain and see the world with clearer more loving eyes. My sex life is better, my marriage is better and I am expecting a baby this summer - hooray for yoga and for the ever loving Hannah Muse."

“Anyone who has taken a class with Hannah Muse knows what an amazing teacher she is, as they have felt her cultivated-heart transmitlove. As a yoga teacher and life coach myself, I have taken hundreds of yoga classes with teachers from all over the world, but Hannah leads by far the most powerful and potent yoga class I have ever experienced. Weaving in mantra, mudra, mythology, and pranayam, our singing Santa Cruz sangha is always eager to be led through her teachings. Hannah’s classes are the most heavily attended classes at multiple Santa Cruz studios as she is truly able guide her students into experiential understandings of the energetic and spiritual body. Due to her awesome alignment cues, I am often surprised at my body as it eases into deeper versions of poses that I practice every day! Hannah’s blazing beauty does not even compare to the magnificence that is emitted from her heart. She is graceful and contained, and powerfully potent. Hannah is a dedicated practitioner of asana and studier of philosophy and Eastern medicine, but her commitment to daily sadhana (seated meditation practice) is what I know makes her such a rare and effective teacher. Although she would never admit it, Hannah is famous in Santa Cruz and the role she plays here is invaluable. The wisdom she shares helps me experience and remember my heart and I am forever grateful I trained to become a teacher with her. It has impacted every aspect of my career and my life.”
