Testimonials

I'm 60 years old and had never practice any kind of yoga before. I'm very grateful to you, since I started 5 months ago, my life has changed so much, not only do I look a lot better, but I feel great. I lost 16 pound during my first 2 months and since then even though I have not lost that much more weight, I have been loosing inches all over my body. Before I started with Yoga, I had a pain in my right knee, slowly the pain went away. Also I had arthritis pain in my hands' joints and my lower back and practically I don't feel it any more. I also developed a lot of strength. I believe Yoga should be practice by everybody, young and old.   Beatriz Diamond

Since childhood I have had scoliosis and weak back muscles. After just a few weeks of daily practice I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my posture. Not only am I standing taller, but I have more energy. My skin feels smoother and I am sleeping better than I have in years. I also feel incredibly strong for the first time in my life. JB

I would like to thank you. A couple of my friends recommended me to go and try it out, but I never expected the results during these first two months. I've lost over 20 pounds already, and my energy level has doubled. My core strength has improved tremendously. The practice has also helped me with stress reduction from concentrating on my breathing. When I go to a class after I have lifted weights, the muscle soreness I used to experience is now gone. The strength I now have helps in all areas of my life. I feel more relaxed and have noticed I am much calmer these days. Thank you.   Rich Rizzardi, Jr.

 I have been working with gymnastics for over 29 years. I needed something more to increase my endurance, balance and test me. Yoga has improved my endurance, strength and balance in so many ways. I have also been able to decrease my thyroid med incredibly since taking yoga. I also just found out that my bone density results have improved in the spinal area exceptionally. Yoga is the main reason that I am so much stronger physically and mentally. It works and I plan on sticking with it for many years to come!  Nicole-mom of 4

I learned much more than I ever expected. Upon completion of the training, I felt well prepared to instruct both beginner and mixed-level classes safely, accurately and with confidence. - LFP
• As a recent college graduate, I never imaged that I would be able to teach yoga at such a young age. I entered Alexa and Andrew's teacher-training program as a very shy and soft-spoken individual and have been amazed at my growth on and off the mat. I now feel completely capable to teach beginner through advanced level practitioners, and have learned to really use my voice! They did a truly amazing job at providing an in-depth program while giving us a chance to practice our teaching skills before sending us into the world of yoga studios and gyms! - Maggie
