“Like most people with chronic back problems, I get that sensation that my back is tweaked, out of alignment or that terrible feeling it is going to slip out on me.  Since I’ve begun practicing yoga regularly at Yoga Sol, I have experienced no back pain, no tightness and none of the fluttering that proceeds a week on the couch with my back out. The increased strength and flexibility in my legs, abs and back from cross-training with Yoga Sol has improved my own swim times to the fastest I’ve ever been.  I intend to implement some of the techniques with the water polo team I coach to increase endurance and make them stronger than ever. Not only are the physical benefits astounding, but, mentally, it always helps me prepare for my day or helps me decompress from it. I recommend Yoga Sol for anyone for any reason.”

How have the teachers at Yoga Sol impacted my life? I came to yoga three years ago when my sister came to visit me in California. I was new to California. I did not want to try yoga, but she insisted. At first I was very awkward, overweight, and lonely. But soon I made friends I will never forget, and became "addicted" to yoga. I lost weight, dress sizes, developed self-confidence as my practice improved. My posture improved, my energy level increased, and my cholesterol level dropped 50
points. I found I crave good food. I'd say I'm 90% vegetarian now. Gee, you even got me to start eating seaweed! I reached an all time high when I attended 95 consecutive classes. I could not live without yoga now, and my teachers have had a direct impact on all aspects of my life. How wonderful! Thank you Tara and Meighan.

I lost 4 dress sizes in 6 weeks and I still ate the same way I always do - Anything and everything!  It also cured my tendonitis in 2 classes!

I was diagnosed with tongue cancer in Feb. 2006.  Since then, I underwent surgery to remove the tumor on my tongue and surgery on my neck to remove some of my lymph nodes.  Good news is that my prognosis is very good. But 5 weeks after surgery,  I would have to undergo 6 weeks of radiation- 5 days a week to make sure all the cancer is gone. During radiation, I have been taking your S2 yoga classes twice a week.  They have been a tremendous help in assisting me with staying in shape, fighting fatigue during radiation and overall feeling good physically.  Even my doctors said that yoga or pilates would be good for me and that it would help fight fatigue.  I do yoga about 2 1/2 hours before radiation and I feel so energetic for the rest of the afternoon. I am so glad Yoga Sol is available to me because I don't know what kind of shape I would have been without it.  Thank you for the classes and the great teachers.
