Parties, Meetings, and Gatherings
 

From Suzy Rogers about her Birthday Party

“I recently had the honor of celebrating an important birthday at the Yoga Studio.  The space where we have our yoga classes is open, warm and welcoming and I knew this would be the best place I could imagine.  The studio seems perfectly suited to our group of 18 people, but it could have accommodated a much larger group.

 

My friend organized this party for me, and all I had to do was help a little with the menu choices and show up!  Julia graciously offered use of her tables and chairs.  She is so helpful and wants to help the party planner create an enjoyable event.  The large plants with the twinkling lights, some of Julia’s unique lamps, and a few extra candles created a festive atmosphere.

 

I felt very nurtured and honored to have people setting aside an evening just for me.  The atmosphere and the good “energy” of the yoga studio certainly added a lot to my enjoyment.  The studio was the perfect backdrop for this extra special get together.  I would highly recommend the Frankfort Yoga Studio anyone else planning a party or other event.”
