"Yoga has been an integral part of my life for 35 years.  Shivani and the yoga being taught here have inspired me to participate in more yoga classes every week and to have a positive attitude. I'm grateful for Shivani and the people I’ve met here."             -Pat M.

       “As an Occupational Therapist I greatly appreciate Shivani’s knowledge of the human anatomy and how she incorporates it into her classes. I value the Center’s approach as Yoga is taught as a way of life as opposed to an exercise class.”                              - Suzanne H.                                           

“With Yoga, middle age isn’t so scary and I have less joint problems now than I did three years ago when I started yoga classes. More importantly, the breathing exercises are invaluable to reduce stress and have made me much calmer in all aspects of my life.  I hope to be practicing Yoga for another 20 years.”                         - Janet J.

   “We've found that what we've learned in yoga, we've applied to so many other aspects of our lives.  There is no better way to spend a Thursday night.”                                      -Park & Alice B.
                     (Students since September 1998)

   “A blade of grass can get cut down and yet it continues to grow back.  When I feel my life has mowed me down, I know my Yoga practice helps me to “grow back” and to get reacquainted with my graceful and spiritual soul.” - Linda R, 2001

“It truly is a life-affecting practice and a wonderful addition to my life, also. Everything is a little better with Yoga. I’m learning better focus and awareness, so every little thing is more appreciated...and so I feel generally happier, even though I always felt pretty happy anyway. Life is just better with it. Thank you for moving to our little backwoods area and giving us all this wonderful gift.”                                                   -Mary P.

   “The Yoga for Lunch class changes the way I and my co-workers feel for the rest for the week.“   -Holly         

“The business I’m in involves a lot of hard physical work and can be very stressful at times. I always look forward to my yoga class because I leave feeling relaxed bothe physically and mentally.”          -Ellise

     "I've enjoyed the whole experience so far.  Instruction is well planned and kept flowing and interesting."                          - Rob B., 2002

“The first morning after my first yoga class, I felt pain-free for the first time in years.”
                 -Sandy H., Washington, 2008

“Yoga recharges me physically and mentally.  It has truly been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself.  The knowledgeable instructors and friendly students of all ages and ability levels make this Yoga Center a great place to learn in a relaxing, non- competitive way.  Yoga has been a wonderful way to spend quality time with my daughter.”                       - Kelly K.

“I love the stretching and spending time with my Mom.”                              - Jesse K., age 11  

   “I found Shambhava Yoga Center in the Yellow Pages – they always say ‘let your fingers do the walking’ and this was my best little stroll through.”    - (still listed as Shambhava in the book;))       - Nancy L.

         "Yoga is something I had always wanted to try. After years of being in the competitive sports arena as both athlete and coach, I was ready for a different experience. I didn't know quite what to expect that first night, but what I found was a calm, peaceful, non-competitive way to stretch my body and my mind. The aches and pains of middle age have subsided and I feel much better.
         Classmates are all shapes, sizes and ages (I was afraid they would all be long, lanky 120 pounders) and they are also very supportive.
         Our beloved teacher, Shivani, is excellent - very knowledgeable, kind, concerned and supportive.
         I urge anyone of any age to try this wonderful practice. It has changed my physical body and my outlook on life." 
                               -Penny, here since 1999                                              (no photo)

“Yoga heals the body from within.  Yoga has changed my life. I feel better. I feel stronger and I have an overall feeling of goodness within myself. Yoga is more than just doing some positions in class, it’s a way of life. It’s a mindset.  Yoga and the feeling that comes from a daily practice is a hard concept to surmise; Yoga is just awesome! I have been practicing for about two years now and I truly feel that my body has healed itself. The healing started from the inside and worked its way out. It just feels so good!”          -Nicole S, 2005
