At YBS we use only original photography to maintain the authenticity of our site and our business.  All photography and videos  are produced by the talented Daimen, so what you see in our images is an exact representation of what we offer. 

Daimen's passion lies in maintaining the integrity of the image with minimal intrusion into the raw product.

Daimen combines these talents with tech support for our website and social media platform.

LUCY GRAY

Lucy will be the first little face to greet you when you arrive at YBS.  With her warm, friendly nature, she will put you very quickly at ease. Don’t be fooled by her cute and coy manner though, as well as being a little character, Lucy is very intuitive and will provide comfort to any student that may have feelings of stress during any of our sessions. 

Once our classes commence, Lucy will spend her time snoozing on her mat, but as the chimes signal the end of the session, rest assured that Lucy will be there to greet you once again as you return to your seated position.

Like all of us, Lucy does not provide her services free of charge, all students are required to give her a belly rub before leaving the studio. Please note that she is very hard to resist.
