• "Come to class to be renewed. At the end of a yoga
class, it's like a fresh start to whatever you're facing on your to-do
list. There is an ease and confidence that follows...topped off by a soothing
cup of tea. I used to go to therapy...now I go to Kundalini class. Very
similar results. :-)" -Laura
• "I was just curious when I started practicing yoga,
but if I wanted to inspire someone today I'd probably say that as a woman
approacing 40, I've never felt better." -Ilene
• "Yoga didn't just help me heal and strengthen my
body, but it saved my sanity and totally transformed my life. Each step
on the path of yoga inspires you to take two more steps." -Angela
• "It's easy to start. They will help you through
the first classes." -Linda
• "In our fast-paced, overly competitive world, you
need to take time for yourself and relax. Yoga, in all it's myriad forms,
can help you do this." -Melissa
• "It has changed my life!" -Barbara
• "I feel a lot better--physically and emotionally.
One person who works with me says my posture has improved and another
says my skin looks great--no prompting on my part." -Linda
• "Just go once, you'll be hooked." -Yoga Yoga Student

and physically. It also helps me make it through normal life with far
less stress, which carries through into how I treat others." -Alicia
• "My mother started doing yoga 15 years ago, at the
age of 50. When I attended one of her Iyengar style classes, I realized
this was a serious workout. And here was my mother, star pupil! A 65 year
old woman doing 65 sun salutations to celebrate her birthday is my inspiration."
-Andrea
• "Yoga provides me a much needed
dedicated time to cultivate my inner peace and allows me to go out into
the world centered and refreshed." -Susan
•" It is the only exercise I have ever actually enjoyed!
Yoga makes me a better person (or, better stated, yoga brings out the
best in me!)" -Barbara
• "I started taking yoga classes because I had heart
surgery, my massage therapist strongly encouraged me to go to Yoga Yoga,
and I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change. I have attended classes
regularly for over two years, and I can confidently say that my yoga practice
has had a profound impact on my life. I continue to realize a growing
influence each year." -Bobbie
• "Yoga balances mind, body, and spirit. Practicing
regularly teaches you to be calmer and patient. Yoga has also helped me
to be more acceptant of my body and my abilities. It has also helped to
be acceptant of my limitations and not to be so competitive and judgemental."
-Cindy
• "It's a beautiful gift to give to yourself and
extends out to those you love." -Dana
• "It's the best anti-aging concoction out there.
It is also the best health insurance plan you can buy, considering that
preventative medicine is the best medicine." -Dinah
• "Not only is it by far the best method I have found
to maintain a shapely, toned, vibrant and radiant body (because it loves
the brain, organs and glands as well as the muscles) but a magical thing
happens when I practice regularly. I become clearer, happier, and more
faithful and determined." -Elizabeth
• "I first tried yoga because I wanted to find a way
to increase my flexibility and to relax. I have found that in yoga, but
I have also found a fun way to challenge myself physically and mentally.
I have increased my strength and discovered an ability to meditate I never
dreamed I had. It's a rewarding practice that continues to teach me things
about myself." -Emily
• "I had the full experience of completing the Yoga
Yoga Teacher Training Program and I would encourage others to do the same
thing because they will get so much more from their experience than they'd
ever get from only going to practice class." -Greg
• "Yoga brings harmony and peace to your life." -Gretel
• "I got into yoga to be more flexible but it has
changed my life in so many other positive ways". -Heather
• "Don't have preconceived notions about what yoga
is - try it and see what you think." -Jacqueline
• "Yoga is both challenging and relaxing at the same time. It really
makes you feel great!" -Holly
• "I had practiced yoga at home, years ago,when there
weren't any studios in my area. I rediscovered yoga through a friend,
who suggested it as a way to handle stress, and I was convinced after
my first class and hooked about six months into it. Yoga has centered
me, moved me toward living in the present, firmed up my middle-aged body,
lessened my stress-related ailments (TMJ, IBS) and heightened my attention
to my individual body parts. I have encouraged everyone from total strangers
to my own children to practice yoga, and I absolutely believe the best
place to practice is a good studio." -Jan
• "Yoga has really made me feel better--physically,
mentally, and spiritually. It gives you practical techniques for making
life better." -John
• "Yoga can make such a difference in your body, how
you see your body, and how you experience the world. I tried yoga for
the first time many years ago, inspired by a Chopra book, but I didn't
really get into it until I had a shoulder injury and was exposed to a
yoga class at a workshop. It was the only thing that I had tried that
alleviated the shoulder pain, facilitated the healing, and prevents me
from feeling shoulder pain." -Karen
• "Yoga helps be with stress and allergies. I was
first inspired by general advertisements for yoga which brought me to
Yoga Yoga. After sticking with yoga for about six months I don't take
allergy medicine any more". -Yoga Yoga Student
• "It feels good to make a commitment to doing something
healthy and beneficial for yourself. You need to make the time in your
life for what's important and what's important to me is lowering my stress
level, tuning into my body and heart, and taking care of myself for the
long haul of life ahead of me." -Katy
• "The changes that yoga has had on my life are unimaginable."
-Kim
• "I began yoga at a critical point in my married
life and personal life. My husband was going through a difficult battle
with an aggressive cancer (the second cancer in 14 months). In order to
support him I knew I had to find something for me to focus on besides
his illness. Your Hatha Beginners' series was perfect. I also attended
gentle and restorative sessions. My husband successfully completed his
chemo therapy early summer but after a lengthy summer vacation I am back
in classes again. Along with the beginners' Hatha, I have now moved on
to Kundalini and I love it. I cannot imagine yoga not being a part of
my life." -Yoga Yoga Student
• "Yoga totally transformed my life. I am less stressed
out and much more strong and healthy. Give it a chance to see what it
can do for you"! -Kim
• "There are lots of different kinds of yoga, so don't
assume that if you try one and don't like it that yoga is not for you.
Take a sampling of classes and instructors." -Laura
• "I felt more calm and focused when I first started
practicing, and then over time, I noticed that the little things that
used to bother me seemed so much easier to handle, and anytime I feel
frustrated, especially toward someone else, instead of arguing, I rememeber
to breathe." -Libby
• You can experience yoga on many levels. You can
benefit from the physical practice and decide if it is something in which
you want to totally immerse yourself. Many of the postures are things
you might have done in the past and didn't even realize it was yoga!!
You do NOT have to be flexible; there are adaptions to the postures and
no one will push you farther than you can comfortably go. -Lora
• "Addressing my health and
spirit was a high priority for me when I started my yoga practice one
year ago. My back suffered some chronic issues that have been much alleviated
by my yoga practice". -Melissa
• "Like all physical disciplines, you have to stick
with it. The first class may be magical, but please give it at least 16
weeks so that your body (and mind) crave it. A personal friend's long
term relationship with yoga encouraged me to investigate, but having loving
teachers at Yoga Yoga was the inspiration to keep me going each week."
-Melissa
• "I was extremly stressed out due to work and work/life
balance. I've only been practicing yoga since August - but it has changed
my life. I am more balanced (less grouchy) at work and I'm kinder and
gentler with my husband." -Peggy
• "It made my self esteem issues regarding my body
simply disappear, and it really helps with stress." -Sara
• "When I first started, I was pretty stressed out
and I didn't even know it. I had this discomfort that I couldn't describe
clearly yet I knew I couldn't take deep breaths. With Kundalini Yoga I
slowly began the process of unwinding and discovering how my breath was
related to my inner discomfort and outer sources of stress. Then with
meditation a whole new world of inner growth began. It wasn't always easy
as old hurts and pains arose and left, but what kept me going was the
dicovery of new levels of happiness and peacefulness that I could not
have even imagined. And that is what still keeps me going after almost
20 years of practice. The remembrance and experience of that simple inner
bliss." -Sat Nam Kaur
• "I can say that I always feel better after practicing
yoga at Yoga Yoga. I am more centered, feel more in touch with my body
(and feel taller!). I also love sharing yoga with my ten-year-old daughter.
I think all girls in our culture should learn to be comfortable in their
bodies." -Shirin
• "Yoga will improve your health
and improve your outlook on life." -Susan
• "It helped me reconnect with a part of myself that
was still very much a part of this world, but not so affected by it. I
felt calmer and quieter and more kind. Not only did yoga help me feel
better, but I think it helped me be a better wife, friend, co-worker,
etc." -Yoga Yoga Student
• "The stiffness that was in my hips and knees is
now history!" -Yoga Yoga Student

for the rest of your years." -Andrea

Reduced my stress. Changed my bad habits." -Yoga Yoga Student

than I ever have -- emotionally, mentally, and spiritually -- it's the
best thing I've ever done for myself!" -Yoga Yoga Student

it to see." -Yoga Yoga Student

And that people who do yoga LOOK younger." -Yoga Yoga Student

to focus inward and strive towards being a better individual." -Yoga Yoga
