Students Experiences
 
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.

More Testimonials
 
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
