I have seen improvement in my flexibility and pain relief after only 2-3 classes. J.E.R., retired

Thank you for changing my life. I’m learning so much about relaxation, posture, flexibility, and strength. Yoga is the best way to feel good. B.P., retired teacher

I feel so much better over all. I’m amazed at how flexible I can be, how much strength I have gained, and how I have fewer headaches. Christie Thompson, teacher

I appreciate the expert instruction, the clean atmosphere, the attention to proper form, and the encouragement. It (yoga) certainly works for better posture, flexibility, and pain relief. I have found it extremely therapeutic for lower back disc problems. Connie Murray, Public Service Commissioner

You would be amazed how much better you feel after using/stretching muscles, areas of your body that we neglect/or forget throughout the day! I have told many people how much better I feel after dong yoga for the short time I have. I miss yoga when I don’t get here (Show Me Yoga Center) 2-3 times per week. I feel it has helped how I feel about myself immensely. K.R., program developer

Yoga has helped me strengthen and stretch. I have much less back pain since I’ve taken yoga. Linda Hobratschk, violin teacher

You can’t imagine how much it (yoga) can affect many different aspects: physical, mental, etc. and it’s fun! Michelle Horn, homemaker

Yoga helps me relieve stress, relax, and feel mentally and physically strong. Karen Jenkins, RN

Yoga is good for every body, no matter what shapes it’s in. Bonnie, writer/editor

I have been impressed with the classes. It’s good exercise with spiritual and mental benefits. John Jaeger, counselor, musician, and cabinetmaker

Yoga is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind. It keeps both flexible. Ann Peery, Environmental Scientist

Yoga helps me stay in the present. What a gift! Rene’ Harden, mommy

Yoga helps me balance out my other physical/exercise pursuits. Not only do I feel stretched and flexible when I leave, I also feel more centered and calm. If I miss several weeks of yoga, I can always tell…it’s time to get back on the mat! Sharon Hibdon, teacher
