I have Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Peripheral Neuropathy, among other things. Since beginning my private yoga sessions with Vicki, I have experienced noticeable increase in core strength, range of motion and flexibility. Vicki targets our sessions to areas of pain and stiffness I have at the time and helps me manage them with minimal prescription medication. Linda Krieger |

What started out as an exploration for Tom turned out to a shared activity for us -- no competition or scoring -- just a time for us to do something together that gives both physical and mental exercise. As a person who tends to internalize things, yoga provides me a time to rid myself of some of the toxins that accumulate in my body and mind. Moving my body, Charmaine Girrbach |
Through stages of my life, I've experienced different sojourns as a physically challenged person. In latter years, through introspection, goals and expectations of life changed. Yoga has provided me with the opportunity to explore new ways to enjoy daily living. Continuing to learn and practice has enhanced my mental/psychological, spiritual and physiological self. Additionally, yoga breathing, postures and thought processes have assisted in lowering my blood pressure to that of a teenager's level, increased peripheral vascular circulation, muscle strength, flexibility and inner peace. A skeptic initially, but now, a believer and practitioner. Tom Girrbach |
| I am a 35 year old mother of two. My inspiration for trying yoga came from my mother, who was practicing for many years. Through my life, she has always been the greatest teacher of living a healthy and balance life. As a young girl she encouraged me to study ballet, which I still do today. Yoga has become a natural extension of my dance practice. When I'm dancing, as well as doing yoga, I feel strong, flexible and graceful on the inside as well as the outside. I am balanced!

I have been practicing yoga for over ten years and I love it! I can truly say it is something I will be doing for the rest of my life. Yoga has taken me to levels of flexibility I never thought possible, and it is amazing how you can learn to focus your mind. If you enjoy participating in sports it can help you develop more balance and stamina along with dedicated focus. It can be as easy or hard as you make it. I love the Vinyasa class and if anyone wants a challenge I suggest you join us!

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE: BE AN EXAMPLE BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE -- FIT, ENERGETIC, AWARE -- IS A GIFT NOT ONLY TO YOURSELF, BUT TO THOSE AROUND YOU. EAT RIGHT, GET REGULAR CHECKUPS, EXERCISE CONSISTENTLY, AND YOU'LL SET AN EXAMPLE FOR EVERYONE YOU ENCOUNTER. YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH OTHERS NOTICE ABOUT HOW YOU LIVE. ISN'T IT NICE TO THINK THAT JUST BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN BODY, YOU COULD BE CHANGING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE? |
