I started your yoga class shortly after the sudden death
of my husband of 32 years. I was pretty much a basket case, mentally, emotionally and physically and suffering from severe
anxiety and panic attacks. I tried anti-anxiety drugs but as I have since learned, they are not for everyone. Because
of the panic attacks, I found it very difficult to do anything outside my ordinary routine; summoning the courage to come
to the first class was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Lorey has a very calming and accepting demeanor, which
made me feel safe enough to continue. I am stronger and braver, and I am learning how to tap into a calm
and peaceful center when anxiety overwhelms me. I have started travelling again, something I never thought I would have the
courage to do on my own. Yoga has strengthened me emotionally, physically and mentally as well as reconnecting me.

Yoga has had a transforming effect on me. Last year I was in a motorcycle
accident and injured my shoulder and ribs. I could barely lift my hand over my
head. Physical therapy was only moderately successful and I was left with a lot
of pain and limited range of motion. With yoga I learned to listen to my body
and was able to regain full range of motion. The process was painless. In addition, at 41 years of age, I have never been more physically fit than I am now. Yoga has allowed me to calm my demons and re-focus my life with strength and integrity.

Yoga has kept me flexible and strong as well as enhanced my peace of mind. The effects of a yoga practice are subtle
as well as overt and I can tell if I've missed a class by how my body works. The lasting , beneficial effects of
one session of yoga practice is evident throughout my week. Kelly
I began practicing yoga a little over a year ago. I wanted to add something different to many existing exercise
routine and I thought that it might also help me to control my everyday stresses. The first thing I learned was
that it was not going to be as easy as I thought. I was not very flexible, but I do have to say I have come a long way.
Everyone works at their own ability and whatever you can do is fine, the practice of yoga is a very personal a
work in progress.
I have learned how to breath and I know that sounds silly, but connecting with my breathing
helps me to release and use my core muscles to get into positions that I previously could not. I have increased
my stretch and strengthen my inner muscles. It has helped me to become more balanced and more able to focus on the task
at hand.
The things that I have gotten from yoga that I didn't expect to and do not still totally understand
is the physical well being that I feel. I leave every class feeling better about myself and revitalized. It clears
my mind of tension and somehow brings me into a state of peace. In my everyday life this has some how translated into
a more calm me and makes me more tolerant and understanding of other people. Namaste, Connie
