WHAT THEY SAID.

  • I had an incredible experience at FLORA + BLAST! This was my first visit as a guest of a friend, and we took Sandy's yin and sound class. I was so impressed by Sandy's sound healing skills—she kept the sounds going smoothly for nearly the entire hour, which I know requires a lot of wrist strength and mobility. The beautiful sounds she created brought me to a deep state of blissful serenity. I left the studio feeling renewed, welcomed, and grateful. I only wish I lived closer so I could come more often! Highly recommend Sandy’s yin and sound class to everyone.

    John Yang, Flora & Bast Los Angeles

  • Such a beautiful, relaxing experience. The class felt like a deep exhale - exactly what I needed. The teacher is a true light: calm, grounding, and radiant in her energy. She holds space in such a gentle, powerful way that makes it easy to drop in and just be. I left feeling renewed, peaceful, and more in tune with myself. I'll be coming back every Sunday without a doubt.

    Flora & Bast, ClassPass Los Angeles

  • When I first took Sandy’s class, I was expecting a gentle, restorative yoga session—but what I experienced went far beyond that. The magical sound journey she creates with live music, bowls, and ancient instruments brought a deeply healing and calming energy I didn’t expect. I had a difficult day—I’m currently waiting for hip surgery and dealing with muscle inflammation, which makes it hard to focus on my work and creative projects. But this class helped me release tension in my body and bring clarity to my mind. Sandy’s music and presence helped shift my energy completely. In fact, during class, I found a solution to a project I had been stuck on for days. Sandy has such a grounding and nurturing energy—I’m a big fan of this class and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both physical relief and emotional restoration.

  • Dear Sandy, Thank you so much for such a wonderful, relaxing, and insightful sound bath session today for our Child Development teams. It was truly a fantastic way to kick off our in-service training day with mindfulness, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I even overheard staff members eagerly discussing how they’re going to arrange classroom coverage so they can attend your sessions at TTC on 3/20 and 5/15—such a testament to the impact of your work! We deeply appreciate your talents, skills, and the calming experience you provided. Thank you again for sharing your gift with us! Best, Stacey

    Stacey LBCC, Long Beach California

  • We recently hired Sandy for a sound bath session, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment it began, I felt a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility. The combination of soothing sounds created a serene atmosphere that melted away my stress.

    Leslie Ramirez, Pathways LA, Los Angeles

  • Sandy provided a beautiful experience! I was able to find peace in mind and relief in my back issues. I'll definitely be coming back and I look forward to their journey on expanding. Please don't miss out.

    Shuchita Barman, Toronto

  • Dear Sandy, 
I truly enjoyed participating in your Yin Yoga practice today. It was a calming and relaxing
experience for me, especially with the sound bowls. Lastly, I am glad to see that you recovered
well from stage four cancer.

    Darren, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really loved your class. I felt so in tune with my body. Being able to relax in an
uncomfortable position showed me how capable that my body is. It felt so healing to be able to
spend prolonged periods in a singular pose, and it is something I want to do again. This, 
combined with the sound bathing is something I really enjoyed. I love sound baths, and
 combining this with Yin Yoga was perfect for me. Thank you so much for sharing your practice
and kind energy!


    Kera, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, your class was so wonderful! It was my first time trying Yin Yoga, and I’m really 
grateful I got to experience it with such a knowledgeable and calming teacher. The practice
 helped me slow down and reconnect with my body in a new way. I also loved the music you
 played—it made everything feel even more peaceful. Thank you so much!

    Elaine, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, thank you so much for coming to our class and leading us through some Yin
 Yoga. It was very relaxing and I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated afterwards. I really enjoyed the
 singing bowls and other sounds you played as well as the song Sakura Sakura that you played at
 the end of the class. I am looking forward to adding Sakura Sakura to my Spotify and listening to it regularly. I am also hoping to find more opportunities to practice Yin Yoga in the future
 because I enjoyed your class so much!

    Annabel, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Hi Sandy! Thank you so much for your class, it was truly wonderful and something that I would 
absolutely love to do again. I really loved how you transformed the space into a place where
 even my busy mind could find a second or two to relax and loved to hear about your story and
 found it very inspiring. Thank you so much again for your class! 
All the Best

    Emily Elien, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really enjoyed and appreciated your class. It was my first time trying Yin Yoga, and I’m
so glad you introduced it to us. I especially loved the first position we tried, and you’re right—
the time really flew by. Your story itself was super inspiring and the practice made me grateful 
for my body and mind. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance!


    Grace, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really enjoyed your class and appreciated you answering my question about the 
waterfall pose and melting into a pose. I appreciated having the opportunity to fully relax into the
 poses and to have time to loosen the muscles in order to feel a deep stretch. The sound bowls
 were also very relaxing and felt like they were coming from within my head, which was a very
 unique experience. Thank you for offering a lesson today!

    Oscar, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really enjoy your class! I was very relaxed, calm, and contented after the practice of Yin
Yoga. I learned from the practice that when facing difficulties or discomfort, we can surrender to
it, allow it to happen, and let it go. Thank you for bringing Yin Yoga and sound bath to us!


    Sitong Liu, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, your class was very soothing. The way you speak made the setting very relaxing and
 enjoyable. It was almost as if I were back in kindergarten, preparing for nap time. I enjoyed the
 instrument used to make the rain-like noise as well. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!


    Isabella, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really enjoyed your class. It was very different than vinyasa yoga, but I enjoyed staying 
in each pose for a long time and meditating there in the poses. It was a great stretch, and I
 appreciated your sort of guided reflection during it. I also really liked when you came around and
 had the rain and chimes sounds. I really enjoyed learning about Yin yoga. Thank you for your 
time.

    Connor, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Hey Sandy! Just wanted to say that your class was absolutely fantastic! It was such a huge
 difference from the normal yoga sculpt that I usually do, it was really eye-opening. I will
 definitely try to practice the yin yang style of yoga more often because of you, so I just wanted to 
share my thanks for giving me such a cool experience!
 Best!

    Colin SooHoo, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, I really enjoyed your class. I have never done Yin Yoga before and it was different than 
any other yoga practice I have gone to. It was difficult at first to hold the poses, but as time
 passed, it became easier and even felt relaxing. I also loved the sound healing and the crystal 
bowls during the session. Thank you for guiding us through a Yin Yoga practice.

    Maggie, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Ms Sandy, I felt like the class passed so fast that I enjoyed it a lot. When I am practicing yin
 yoga, I felt myself calming down and having a stable breath. There was nothing in my mind but 
pure enjoy, thank you for sharing these strategies of yin yoga!


    Evelyn, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, thank you so much for joining us in class! I absolutely adored the sound bowls. They 
were so therapeutic and calming that I felt like I was drifting off to sleep. You have such an
 inspiring story and resonating voice.


    Ankita, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Sandy, your Yin Yoga and Sound Bath class was truly rejuvenating. Your gentle guidance helped 
me sink into a deep calm, and the crystal bowls were mesmerizing. I felt so grounded and at 
peace afterward. Thank you for creating such a nurturing space!

    Aaron, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Hi Sandy, Thank you so much for coming to our class and giving us an amazing Yin Yoga session. I loved how my body was receiving the sound vibrations and the comfort/clarity I had when I was done. I also appreciate you being open, correcting my form and my blocks, and sharing such a vulnerable story. It has inspired me to give more time to myself to just stretch and think in a clear headspace! Thanks

    Yang, UCLA Los Angeles

  • Hey Sandy Girrrllaa,
 I just wanted to let you know how much I really enjoyed your class and your energy. You are
 such an inspiration, and I’m so happy and proud of how far you’ve come. Beating cancer takes 
an incredible amount of strength and resilience, and you embody both of those qualities. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey, and I hope that blessings continue to come your way. 
Your energy is so vibrant, and as a spiritual person, I can feel how genuine and loving you are. 
Thank you for helping me open up my mind and become more aware of things I can work on to
 improve myself. I’ve come so far, and your support has been so valuable. Your calming voice
 and loving presence were exactly what I needed when intrusive thoughts took over. It really 
helped me get through those moments. After dealing with so much this past year, just seeing how 
much you’ve overcome has given me the mindset and strength to believe that I can overcome
 challenges too. I really struggle mentally at times, and even now, I’m typing through tears, but 
having faith in myself is something I’m learning. I just pray that I can be as thriving and 
beautiful as you are. Keep going because you are truly helping so many people, just like you
 helped me. I know I have so much to work on, and you’ve reminded me that patience with
 myself is key. I really hope to see you again or learn from you in the future. 
Sending you much love

    Te’Undria, UCAL Los Angeles

  • I recently had the pleasure of attending yoga classes with Sandy Duarte which left me transformed, and I am compelled to share my experience. The class was a haven of serenity and self-discovery, led by an exceptional instructor who skillfully created an environment of tranquillity and warmth. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of peacefulness. Soft lighting, soothing music, and gentle aromas immediately set the tone for what would be an extraordinary journey. Sandy with her gentle demeanor and profound understanding of yoga, guided us through each pose with a perfect blend of encouragement and patience. Her words seemed to flow effortlessly, like a gentle stream of wisdom, leading us through a sequence that not only challenged our bodies but also nurtured our minds. I found myself pushing my limits while simultaneously embracing the stillness within. By the end of the class, a profound sense of calm had settled over me. It was as though I had shed layers of stress and worry owing to the hustle and bustle of daily life. The feeling of centeredness and clarity was unlike anything I had experienced before. Looking back, I can confidently say that this yoga class has been a life-changing experience. The combination of the peaceful environment, the expert guidance of the teacher, and the transformative nature of the practice itself have left an indelible mark on my journey of self-discovery and well-being.
