Romi Marks is a fantastic teacher and guide through the meditative art process of Zentangle. When class was held at the San Rafael Library, I enjoyed and learned from each class that I attended. Now on Zoom, the experience is also wonderful. Less crowding and more meditative. Thank you for offering this most valuable class. Romi’s style offers calm and freedom especially in a time of uncertainty. ~Susan
Romi is a dynamic Zentangle instructor! This class was the calm in the eye of my chaotic week. Thank you for offering her classes through the library. ~Caritas
Words can never express the joy I get from the Tangled Yogi Zentangle classes your library offers. I draw them on cards and send them out to people who, “need a lift.” Feedback has been very positive. So very many people are having a difficult time right now; every small act of kindness brightens someone’s life for a while. Romi Marks, the Tangled Yogi, is a breath of fresh air! She is very kind, patient, and talented. Thank you again for offering these wonderful classes. ~Betsey
