TESTIMONIALS
Yoga with Annetta is a wonderful experience! First of all, the music she chooses is very peaceful. Secondly, Annetta’s style is warm and compassionate. The pace of her transitions with the asanas are smooth and timely. Also, I love that she provides options for different variations depending on the challenge level that one prefers that day. Lastly, Annetta has a calming voice and is a beautiful lady. She is one of those people that shines. I can’t say enough about Annetta’s yoga classes! I can’t wait for my next class.

This past Friday at noon I was blessed deeply by an amazing Yoga teacher at Renaissance Club Sport, Annetta McCarty. I have taken hundreds of classes from so many teachers over the years and I can testify, Annetta is one of the very finest teachers out there.
What was it about her that stands out? She is right beside you watching and caring and showing; encouragement was constant, heartfelt and extremely lifting for the spirit and body; insightful teaching naturally flows from Annetta with each posture-it's benefit and healing impact for the body; her tone of voice was strong, clear and softening; we were all invited deeply "in" by this beautiful coach- into ourselves, into our body, into the gathering, into our practice.
I was inspired and connected deeply to my own practice as I finished Annetta's class. Wonderful light radiates from this beautiful instructor/women.

If you ever want to try Yoga for the first time or try a new class, I so recommend Annetta!!! I am about to finish the first 10 week Series, and I always look forward to the class each week. Annetta has a vast knowledge of Yoga, always encouraging everyone, patient and helpful, has all the props needed for the classes, etc. The class includes both men and women, and is a fun group to be with. I have definitely noticed a difference in my balance and strength and energy--and calmness, in the short time I have been going. The class is held at San Ramon Valley United Methodist Church on Danville Blvd. in Alamo, with easy parking. See you there!!!

It is evident she cares immensely about her students safety and pleasurable experience. In addition, she is masterful in the aesthetic arts both as a seasoned make-up artist and aesthetician. Annetta is a multi-talented, spiritually gifted woman. Anyone who has the good fortune to take a yoga class from her will quickly realize they are blessed to be in such good hands.

Annetta is one of the best yoga instructors I have ever experienced (been practicing over a decade). I have learned a lot from her classes, perfecting my form, the art of using breathing techniques to help with anxiety, meditation, and the list goes on. If you haven't tried her class, I highly recommend it. She will fill your soul with light.

Annetta’s in-depth knowledge of the physical, and spiritual aspects of yoga flows freely, not only in her instruction but also in her way of being. She is compassionate, lighthearted, and brings her whole self to the class. After Annetta’s class I always feel more grounded and connected to myself, and I go away with ideas to meditate on in my home practice. She has extensive knowledgeable about using essential oils during yoga practice and how they can be used for emotional support, comfort and healing. I highly recommend Annetta’s classes. She's a grand slam of a yoga teacher in my opinion!

I came back to yoga practice after 6 years hiatus due to a broken elbow. I was so nervous to start again hence my long absence from the mat. Annetta was my first instructor after 6 years and her class was absolute joy and brought back to me the wonder of practice! I am back in the groove and I am very grateful to Annetta!

Not all yoga teachers are created equally. Annetta McCarty is without a doubt one of the best teachers I've encountered on my yoga journey, at YogaWorks and other smaller studios. Annetta's skillful cuing helps me focus on correct positioning in the asanas, and she shares her gentle, spiritual nature and pearls of wisdom throughout her class. A yoga class with Annetta is pure delight!
