Testimonials

"Thank you, BodyWorks, for your constant encouragement to listen to one's inner voice, however faint. I’m understanding better these days that I’m not here to please you or to attain a goal of perfection. I’m learning to accept that where we are right now is where I need to be. On one particularly confusing day recently I said to my friend 'in the imperfection of today lies the perfection of reality.' I heard that in class and it has stuck with me!" --Joanne del Corral
"Two weekends ago, I trimmed a 20-ft. long, 12-ft. high, 5-ft. deep hedge with the aid of an electric hedge trimmer, 100-ft. extension cord, and 8-ft. and 10-ft. ladders. (I’m 5 feet tall.) I was extremely sore afterwards but know that 5 years ago I couldn’t have done it at all. The core strength and balance we keep working on in class enabled me to accomplish this studly task. So although I notice my flexibility diminishing (I’ve been 'double-jointed' my entire life & found yoga really easy because of it), I’m finding my strength increasing. At 62, this is a wonderful discovery!" --Zahira Rabinowitz
"I wanted to do Yoga because I am tight in my legs, hips and shoulders and wanted to be more limber. It was also something that my wife and I could do together. I have been practicing the martial Art of Aikido for almost 40 years. Because of this, I am in touch with my body and know how to breathe and relax. What I discovered is that Yoga and Aikido have a lot in common. For example, the words used in the very first classes to describe how to do seated Yoga Breathing are almost exactly the same words that I use to describe breathing methods to my Aikido students. Amazing!!" --Don Stratton
"Yoga has taught me to appreciate stretching and the proper ways to stretch. Stretching is a lot more than just touching my toes. Yoga has helped me discover new things about my body. I look forward to the classes on Tuesdays and am always energized and relaxed afterwards." --Judy Stratton
