The schedule offers abundant choice of classes and times. I like the facility, location, hot classes and low light. You are both gifted instructors. The classes are appropriately challenging. Enjoyed the music. ~Michael J. Finn
I joined you for your classes on October 24th and I am amazed how wonderful I feel in only 12 short
days. Since I am unable to join you for your official '30 day challenge', I have decided to work on an 'unofficial personal 30 day challenge' - and practice at home on the days I am unable to be with you in class. I did find the Yoga Power book you recommended. While I struggle, I know it will come together through practice. As
you've stated, the reward is the personal achievement and long term benefit of awareness, good health and fitness. Thank you again so much for sharing your teachings and your style! I look forward to growing with you in the days, weeks and months ahead. With Appreciation. ~Karen Hobson
i knew from day one that that place was going to do wonderful things for people! so much of that is because of you guys! the yoga is yoga and that will always attract people, but the energy, enthusiasm and vitality that permeates within those walls stems from your passion, dedication and commitment. it is truly contagious and touches everyone in one way or another. you should be very proud of what you have created there!
much love! ~jennifer jarrett
Thanks again for the class today…it was just what I needed. You have a beautiful studio, and I’m glad to see that business is good. Hope to make it back again sometime! Namaste ~Eric Bryant
Thank you so much for all that you do. Participating in the 30 day challenge and classes at your studio has been such a blessing for me. You have both helped me to fall in love with yoga all over again, with your creative, energetic teaching style, and thriving studio. You have provided me a space to heal and grow and be inspired, at a very difficult and painful time in my life, and I am so grateful to both of you for the love that you have shown. ~Abby Owens
Well I truly want to deepen my own practice! Since I've been only doing Yoga since just before Thanksgiving, Teacher Training seemed like a long term goal. I called D. S. this morning and told her that I'm STRONGLY considering the Teacher Training and she was thrilled and then we both talked 950 miles per hour (at the same time) about how much we LOVE YOGA and how much we LOVE HEATHER and KAREN!!!!! You should hear us together....you would crack up! Also.....because (of the New Yea,r New You Workshop) I've been more "mindful" when I eat, I haven't had meat in 6 days!! :) I think it's the slow chewing part that did it or thinking about the origin but whatever it was......I just can't do it! I will continue Preaching Yoga for now! Thanks again! ~Patty H
To all my peeps at the Yoga Center,
I have often wondered what is next. After teaching aerobics in my late 20's, pounding the pavement, playing coed softball, and going to the gym working out on the stair master, treadmill and circuit weight training 20 years of that craziness... well.... is crazy. I was informed about the Yoga Center from my dear friend Patty H. Not only do I admire Patty, I appreciate the fact that she has openly shared with me about her Yoga practice .I was challenged to do 30 days in a row. After my 30 days of sweat, meditation, aching kidneys, crying spells, pink cloud euphoria, and awareness of my limits, I have given myself permission to practice yoga and put me first. Thanks to everyone at the Yoga Center for the teachings of awareness, breathing, pushing my body to places it has never gone before, and gratitude for the practice and my body. I have made a commitment to practice at the Yoga Center at least 3 days a week. This is only the beginning of something great. A BIG thank you to BB for honoring me with one year of unlimited Yoga, I love you, baby....... ~ Debbie Scott
Thanks for all that you do in teaching your classes and providing the much-needed inspiration that I've been looking for the past few years. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Believe it or not (probably not if you looked at my body a month ago), I used to be a nationally ranked triathlete as recently as 2004. Unfortunately for me, during the 2004 National Long Course Triathlon race that I competed in, I bled throughout the race, and after finishing (due mostly to stubbornness) we later discovered that I had tumors throughout my colon.
After 1 1/2 years of treatment, (and a weight gain of nearly 40 pounds), I am now in complete remission, and have been for nearly 2 years. Few people (by my choice) know this about me, and I have preferred to keep it that way. Since that time, I have struggled repeatedly to regain any type of fitness and form. My muscles were literally destroyed by my disease, or more specifically the chemicals/steroids that were used to fight my illness, while at the same time destroying the muscles that I had spent 10 years building/toning. My legs have been a mess ever since. I have tried to return to running, and biking again, only to be derailed by torn muscles in my hamstrings and legs. Yoga with the 2 of you has made a profound difference to me.
While I have only been at it for a little more than a month (and some 25 classes) I am getting stronger, and my legs are starting to return to pre-illness form. I have also lost 20 lbs. My flexibility has improved dramatically, and this has also helped with the running and biking workouts that I have also been able to resume. In short, what I have been able to accomplish with the 2 of you has helped me to begin training again--without injury. I am not there yet, but I am on my way, and I'm confident that I will be able to race and compete again this summer. These are only the physical benefits. The other aspect is the emotional/mental aspect of what Yoga has provided. Words alone cannot describe those benefits.
In the busy world in which we all proceed, I simply wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the both of you, and let you both know why and how your classes have helped me. I am glad I tried something new, and I will certainly be back, daily. You are both terrific at what you do. Thank you!
