- Bernie is a fantastic teacher. She tailors our yoga perfectly considering our age, health problems and ability. I always feel a tremendous lift while doing the yoga sessions with her and a definite gain in my fitness from it. Yesterday, I took the first Zoom class, which was fun despite a couple of glitches and although it will never replace being with friends and being taught by Bernie, it was a good substitute in these uncertain times.
